BOY CHOKED LEAVES HOME. SIXTEEN YEAR OLD BOY TAKES I'ONIES AND LEAVES FOR KANSAS , STOPPED TUESDAY IN THIS CITY Sheriff Kennedy Stops a Sixteen Year Old Lad Who Kan Away From Ills Home Near Almyra. Ills Father Came Tuesday. Because his father beat and choked htm Sunday afternoon , u sixteen Near old boy took his ponies and left his home near Almira Monday to go to Gray county , Kansas , where he has a brother living. The lad's story as told to Sheriff Kennedy" , Deputy Sheriff Craig and the Editor is in substance as follows : "My cousin and his sister and myself and sister were playing croquet Sunday , and us boys were beating the girls. Father came out and helped the girls beat us by showing them how. This was before dinner. After dinner wo were playing again and father came and help ed the girls. We asked him not to and he said he would not , but he did , and I quit playing and went to the barn to curry my team and get it ready to goto Almyra to attend Epworth League. While I was currying my horse father came into the barn and choked me till I was hardly able to stand up then he slamed me up against the side of the barn. He told me to go back and play croquet and I did. But I got to thinking the matter over and made up my mind I would run away and go to Gray county , Kansas , and see my brother. I suppose I was hasty , for I have a hot temper just like father. " When asked if the ponies he had with him were his , he said they were and told how he had come in possession of them. He also said when asked that he would not have run away if 'his father had not choked and abus ed him , and said that he would no doubt meet the same fate when he got back home. There were great tears in the lad's eyes as he told his story and frequent ly he would break down. This young man should not have left his home , and on the other hand his father should not have choked him , but should have made a confident of him , or a partner , so to speak , and corrected him in the right way. Most any boy will take a judi cious threshing from his father and love him all the more for it. But there arc few boys of today who like to be choked and kicked around like a dog. Democratic Support. The Baltimore Sun , the lead ing democratic paper in Mary land , has come out strongly in support of Taft for president , be lieving he is better fitted and in all respects more capable than Bryan to safeguard and promote the welfare of the country. Here is one of its editorials : "It is the judgement of the Sun that the material welfare of the people of the United States industrial and financially would oe promoted to a greater degree by the election of Mr. Taft than by the election of Mr. Bryan , that their rights would be safe guarded as carefully by Mr. Taft as by Mr. Bryan. "The Sun if convinced that the arm of the law personified by a president of balanced judge ment , with a thorough knowlege of law a man of steady purpose just and resolute would prove a better defender of the rights of the people and would do more to promote their material welfare than the big stick has done in the hands of Mr. Roosevelt or than the big club could do in the hands of Mr. Bryan. It is our deliberate judgement that for the next four years the ma terial interest of the people of this couutry would be safer with Mr. Taft at the head of the na tional government than with Mr. Bryan. "We futher believe that while a law breaker would be brought to account by Mr. Taft with as little fear or favor as Mr. Bryan could display , the methods em ployed by Mr. Taft would not curtail the workingman's oppor tunities for employment by ois- turbing the business of law abid ing men and corporations as has been witnessed in the last few years. Mr. Taft's experience in important administrative posts , his judicial temperment , his pa- truce and thoroughness in in- , justify the belief that as president he would exe cute the law faithfully and well L \ Now is Your Chance to Secure a Fine , New , High-Grade PIANO At price and terms within your reuc' < / \ / " " % / \ o.oo Scale Baby Grand"Boudoir Piano" Made for us by the Columbus Piano Co. lias ( ' * octaves , dropping the cxtrccm upper and and lower notes ( never used anyway ) and requiring a slightly smaller case than the ordinary instrument , which makes it An Ideal Instrument For Small Parlors and Light Purses.
