pretty soon he was surprised to

Booth Tarkington's story. Here

any serious consequences. He

comfortable to have something
to grip. and to swing back and

Why in heavens name should
anybody who finds any pleasure
in carrying a cane refrain from
it simply because the majority
of the population don't care for
it? The obvious and only SEN

boy who last month claimed to have
chased two holdup men from his par

at them, is being hunted. His rela-

him, saying he had run away from
home.
The boy, who was left at home
alone by his parents, told the sheriff
that two men entered the Solheim
home and that, after he wounded one
by throwing q butcher knife In the
manner of a circus performer, the
other struck him on the head with
the butt OF q gun.
His parents said they believed the
blow had temporarily unbalanced
him. "He has not acted naturally
since his experience" they said.
