A boy's kind woed. 



I inclose a dollar to keep Gleaninos coming to 

 my home. I think it is the best paper published. I 

 like to read Our Homes best of all. I think it beats 

 all the newspapers. I am like Mr. Root about the 

 saloons. I wish there were not a saloon in the 

 whole world, because I think the people can do 

 without them. Tell Mr. Root I am with him on 

 voting out the saloons for good. I am nearly twen- 

 ty-one years old, and I have never tasted a drop of 

 whiskv in my life, and am never goins? to.
