F. Clark's gasoline filling station on South Main street, and it all cen- ters around a good looking young Spanish boy of about 17 who is many miles from his native city, Madrid. For four days the boy has been ap- pearing at the station doing his besy to earn only a place to slecep ana enough food to keep body and soul to her. He doesn’t understand Eng- ., and to say the least, he ia not very useful, but Mr. CI says that he cannot see the young boy g0 hun- sry, so he gives him enough so that he may have an even break in a strug- gla for tence. Thursday, the lad was taken to the Spanish colony, and. the leader was told that the boy was of no use at the filiing station, and that he was not wanted there. Friday morning at 7 o'clock the boy was at the station again for it was a place where he could eat, at least. Before going to the gasoline station, he worked for “Tippy” Fay on his express wagon, but he was too young to be of much use at that heavy work and he evidently saw that he couldn't fulfill the requirements of a first-class trunk ‘“juggler,” so he adopted the gasoline station as a haven for for- saken souls. The boy appears sad to the observ. er, and there is no reason why he shouldn’t be. He is far away from home, he doesn’t speak the language of this country, and last and worst of all, he is working for nothing out- side of board and keep. He is willing to be a peon or serf, so bad is his present state. Maybé he knows that he is not wanted at the station, and if that is the case, his lot is doubly hard to endure. With all his fighting spirit, the boy sometimes has a far off look—he cannot express his thoughts but it is a bet with odds that he is thinking of his parents in “Sunny Spain,” and wondering what he has done to deserve this life ot trouble, toil and theoretical slavery for the time being. He also i3 wondering, no doubt, just why some of his friends in Madrid called America the land of opportunities. SPANISH PRIEST CALLS ON MAYOR Latter Is Satisfied ihere Is 10 Prejudice That the discrimination in the mat. ter of giving work to Spanish resi- dents by the city, labor board, if there is any discrimination, is justified, in the opinion of Americanization’ Direc- tor Jamea E. O'Brien, following a conference with Mayor Curtis. Mr. O'Brien, who is acting unofil- cially as a friend following an appeal Ly the Spanish priest several days ago, is doing all he can to alleviate the poverty stricken condition of these people. He was accompanied by orsanizing. The absence of Attorney | the Driest upon hia visit to the mayor Stariley Traceski prevented the meet- ipg scheduled for last night.
