Bound for Hobart, Ind., to visit their "Granny," two 9 year old boys, Richard Harris and Walter Holt, left their good homes in South Chicago this morning, on a long jaunt by the "shoo leather route." The Harris boy lives with his parents at 290 90th street, and his playmate Holt lives at 933G Chicago avenue. It is holiday week at their school, and being unable to play ball or other games, the lads thought that they could walk over to Hobart and spend a few days with Harris' grandmother. Nothing daunted they started on their walk after breakfast, saying nothing of their plans to their parents. The first part of the walk was easy enough and about noon they arrived at Hammond, tired and footsore and hungry. The little chaps tried to put on a brave front but the pangs of hunger in their vitals was too much for them and the big tears began to roll down their cheeks. A kind hearted officer noted the distress of the two boys and sent them to the police station where they told their story, were fed. and given a good talking to. The parents were sent for and they will be at home in their little beds tonight glad that they did not realize their ambitions of becoming Indiana farmers at the age of 9 years.

He was brought to Hammond Saturday afternoon by his friends here who have been looking after him. His condition did not seem to improve any, so this morning Silas accompained by friends went to Dr. Weis's office and after a long talk with Silas the doctor finally succeeded in getting him to consent to go to St. Margaret's hospital where he will be cared for. Dr. Weis said this morning, "I will make no statement about the man rather than that he needs a rest, he has been worrying a great deal. Since the episode at a local hotel where Silas was "turned down" after trying to induce a chambermaid to marry him, the matter has preyed upon his mind. Today it was thought best to induce him to go to the hospital where it was quiet and his friends think this will have a good effect upon him. Silas has not been at his bootblacking establishment since the hotel episode, having left it in charge of some youngsters who have faithfully kept up his business. People who at first laughed at the young man are Inclined now to sympathize with him. Being unfamiliar with the methods employed In America to win a bride, Pete adopted the plan his supposed friends mapped out for him and the humiliation is quite as
