RIDGE ROAD BOOMING. The American Bridge, or second division of Gary, is not the only part of the city where there is activity in the way of erecting new houses or building new streets.

county who Is restless with home, will read it. It is quite common for boys
to run away from home. The editor of this paper once did and the suffer
ing it caused burned into his heart. Below Is Mrs. Beck's letter:
4i MY TRECIOUS BOY: I am writing tonight with a prayer of praiBe to God that (even through the postal you sent acme one else) I know you are alive, but not happy, are you, sweetheart? How I do hope and pray. Franklin, that this letter may reach you. I have your picture and suffer as only mothers can to think that you, honey boy, are so far from me. Do you want to stay? Isn't it all just a little different from home? Io you ever think of daddy and I? Are you treated Just as well? Is your conscience clear? Ah, my Frankia boy! You are no longer my baby; you are growing into manhood. Are you not going to be a man in the full sense? It takes a manly boy to be a soldier for Christ, not one that runs away from duty. It would have been much better to have told your good father how you felt. If you could see your daddy in his quiet way try not to look sad and worried you would know how you are loved. Do not treat us this way, sweetheart. Stop and think. Read your heart and know and stop this nonsense. Come home to those who love you best. "New friends may be silver, but the old are gold." . I must not scold you. dear. I have never been able nor desired to rule you so. Never a day goes by nor a night comes that I do not pray for you. "Remember, dear one, you have gone far from home and mother, father and sister, but Cod still sees and "as a farther pltieth them that fear him. Go to him who forgives even as we ask. lie will give you strength. The boys of your age and some older have started a ball team. Clifford and young MfNulty are in It and that young man In the bank. When I see them all my heart almost breaks. Ah. well, Franklin, It Is all such a shock. I cannot even while I write realize that it is my sweet boy that has gone so far. O, that my arms were long enough to enfold you, child, and bring you back. But in no other way. You must want to come, dear. How about It? Do you think riding from place to place on Treight cars sounds well for Franklin Hudson Beck? Who are you, Franklin? Your name Is Beck. Do not drag it in the dust. God gave you that name and you have your life to live and fight under that name. Did you ever read In history of the colored flag bearer in the war who wajs mortally wounded and when he was found on his back nearly dead was hold with both hands the flag? When asked what word he would send his dear ones he said: "See the flag. How high I have held It! It has never dragged In the dust" And so with our lives, honey boy. We will all do wrong, but we do not need to drag our flags In the dust. I am writing this with pencil, but I am just in such a hurry that you get this, and pray God that you may. Every one wants to see you. Your mother most of alL That Is, I feel that way. You have done wrong, boy. but you know that, and I forgive you. as God will If yu ask It- Ah, Franklin, there is only one way to greatness or happiness. Earn It by right doing wrong never can bring right. It must be pretty near time to change your shirt, etc. My, My Franklin, how are you looking? O, well, I'll try not to worry, but, my boy, do write. You must love me, for the strength of mother's love must reach you. Paul Walper has written a letter saying he would like to visit you the last of June. I cannot tell him where you are. Well, sweetheart, goodnight. Don't forget to say your prayers. Does that sound natural? Please write. Franklin. MOTHER.
