WOES OF THE DESTITUTE
MANY PERSONS UNPREPARED FOR
THE COLD WAVE.
Relief Associations Active in Their
Behaif-Appeals for Aid May
Be Numerous.

Cold weather always brings suffering 10
the poor, and the drop in the temperature,
which began yesterday and continued to-
day means that those who are thinly clad
and whose homes are poorly heated will
feel the change most keenly. Those who
have only a scanty supply of food find that
in such a state of the weather as now pre-
walls their meager allowance is in
adequate. There Is a considerable section
of the populace which is unprepared COR
cold weather. and all such are lily able to
meet the increased draft upon their sup
plies of food and fuel.
AT the municipal lodging house and the
police stations the signs of distress in the
community are first seen. To these places
come the homeless. as well those whose
needs compel them to seek aid in order to
preserve life. AS this is only the begin
ming of what Is practically the first cold
snap OF the present season. the number of
those seeking aid is not as large as will be
the case If low temperatures continue.
The pressure Unon such charitable agen-
ticS as the central relief committee and
the Associated Charities at such a time can
only be met in proportion as the citizens
furnish the means. The response in like
emergencies in the past has always been
prompt and generous. and it is believed
that TINS season VIII prove exception to
TINS kindly rule.
Contributions may be sent to Mr.. Beri1h

THE CASE OF A SWITCH.

The story of the blonde switch sent by
mistake from an Indiana postoffice 10 the
deputy auditor of the postoffce at Wash

simple and unconventional methods in
vogue in government service. The unso-
phsticated male being whose idea of a
switch is device for shifting a railroad
train from one track 10 another may at
first be somewhat bewiIdered on reading
