RAN AWAY AT IA
IT started out when 1 was IA,
running away from home, al
though I was careful of the COM
pany 1 chose. Time and time
again I was brought back and
my dearest of all mothers would
plead with my father and also
with the authorities to give me
into her care. This I never
thought was anything more
than her duty. 1 did not realize
the sacrifice she was making
for me.
"Then my father left home to
go to another State to work,
and while he was gone my
mother and I really became
closer to one another than we
had ever been.
But when my father came
home it was the same old six

I could Cor thought 1 could,

was my downfall. Since that

KNOWN AS CUTTHROAT
There is hardly a State in

and cut your throat without a
moments hesitation.
Il am broke, hungry Il haven't
had a meal in three days., no
place to sleep; so took my last
money to buy this paper and
poison. And If it helps a girl
who has even the first thought
of leaving home, then I have
not done this in vain. For it is
the first thought that brings on
the second.
Il am leaving no name or
address. Just when I am buried
Il don't really care whether I
am or not) I want people not
to pity nor to Scorn but just
say she was at least intelligent
enough to know that when she
reached the bottom; she had
sense enough to know she really
couldn't get up
GREETINGS TO MOTHER
ITO my mother wherever she
isl, this is for you: You will
have no more heartacheS and
grieving to do over an erring
daughter. So now I say not
good-by but aloha, and I have
no one but myself and father to
blame it on.
