who run the place the better one
likes them, and still some of the
old boys kick but one can overlook
a lot of their talk because they are
really in their second childhood.
y had a short talk with a fell
low today and he says the place is
bum for he says they don't give
enough to eat, but he is bughouse
in regard to eating for the meals
are first class and the dishes are re-
! fined as often as they are emptied
and the girls fill them with a
smile Breakfast is rather light but
they serve a cereal, fruit, usually
two kinds, and loads of hot cakes,
all the butter you want, good COT
| fee, and oh, what's the use, We
get everything that is necessary to
ill the inner man, if that's what
] it is called.
We always get a good meat
lunch and soup and cake and pud-
ding of some kind and of course
the menu changes every day so
| there is nothing monotonous about
the meals.
Dinner is usually the big meal
and some of the old boys eat till
they can hardly walk and in fact
one of them ate one night till he
dropped flat when he tried to walk
out and they had to put him in the
hospital for a week and on a diet
at that.
We had a little excitement on
the arrival of the Northwestern
yesterday.
= was standing in the hall
when a passenger from the boat
came and asked for the superinten-
dent and when he found him he
talked for some time in private
with him. l went out on the porch
and after few minutes he came
out and sat down between Jack
Spencer and myself and started to
| tell what wonderful scenery they
saw on the trip north and various
other topics. Finally he turned to
Jack and asked him how he liked
| the Home and he answered that it
was the finest home he had ever
lived in and then he was asked If
he wouldn't like to see his family.
and he said, 'Oh yes, but l never
| expect to see any of them again. "
| Then his brother (whose name was
Ned said, Well, Jack, you are
looking at one of the tribe right
now. 1t surprised Jack so much
he couldn't articulate for about
five minutes, and more so when
way from Michigan to take him
home. But on the quiet Jack told
NE not to be surprised if he was
Da,k before long.
y ell, they lett on the North
estern and we wished him a plea
but he was not optimistic about it
as he expected to find nearly all
his Odd friends either scattered or
passed on, so in the fall we shall
be looking for him.

somewhat only a lot more so for
there are about twice as many
buildings and the grounds are all
finished and kept in fine condition,
1t is located right at the entrance
to the Lovers Lane that runs the
whole length of the government
park. That Lovers Lane is a swell
piece of Natures own production
for it is just as nature intended t
to be, only the DEVILS clubs have
all been destroyed and most of the
underbrush also.
Gee, I'd like to give you some
of the items about the doings of
the inmates but if they were pub
| lished and it came back here
would be mobbed for they are sure
very touchy bunch.
I'VE have had very cold weather
ever since l arrived with the ex-
ception of three days so that is
one thing we can't boast about,
though we should worry for the
home is always warm and the halls
are long enough to give us all the
