BUTLER, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1913. | Miss Bessie Havely returned home|The little one was poorly clad even ; Monday from Kansas City where she for 90 degree weather and its body blistered from the scorching rays of the sun. The parents seemed indif- ferent as to what became of their baby just so they could get it off their hands. It is said as the child left for its new home it bade its father a “goodbye papa’”’ but the father with a heart of stone paid no attention to it whatever. It is said by those who witnessed the sad affair that the mother shed a few tears and said she hated to part with it but could not see it suffer longer. She gave her age husband as twenty. The man is a big ‘‘rube’” with apparently more physical strength than brains and the woman is anything but handsome. What ought to be done with such people we leave to the public to de- cide, but it surely needs official in- vestigation. DINAH. Elkhart The writer failed to show up last week.
