SUFFERING IN BOSTON.
The Salvation Army Has Given Five
Thousand People Coal

Boston. Jan. 24-"Poor people suf-
fered just as much in this cold spell as
they did in December said Captain
Post of the Salvation Army.
He turned to q. pile of reports on his
desk of cases of restitution, which had
been turned into his Office at 20 Common
by the Salvation Army visitors. No one
in Boston has better means than the
Salvation Army of knowing the actual
condition of the very. poor during the
cold weather of this winter, aggravated
so intensely by the coal famine
Five thousand families in Boston have
thus far received assistance from the
Army-an unprecedented number. Fuel
has been given to every one of these
families food, clothing and other neceS-
saries being given also in many cases.
This means that 5000 families in Bos-
ton have been, and still are, suffering
with cold.
Less distress. taking the community
as a whole. has been caused by the
cold weather Of Sunday and yesterday
than by the zero snap of December.
as those who have money have been
much better prepared this time, and
coal is undoubtedly easier to obtain
although the prices are practically the
same.
But" as Captain Post says. what
are the poor going to do when there
is no money left to buy coal2"
In the South end tenements are found
the cases of most acute restitution and
distress. This seems strange to those
who have always thought that parts
of the North and West ends are the
most poverty stricken of the city, but
Captain Post has found far more cases
of absolute need on such streets as
Seneca. Oswego Emerald and parts of
Harrison avenue than in any other pOr-
ton of the city.
One case was found where there were
a husband wife and four children living
in two rooms. The husband was sick
and out of work, and the sole support
OF the family was brave little fellow of
IL, who sold papers. On the day the
Salvation Army visitor called the boy
had made so cents. This money was
all there was in the house. and was
needed to pay the rent leaving moth
ing fer clothing and food Fortunately
coal, food and clothing We're sent by the
army officers last Saturday. so that the
family was tided over the cold snap.
Similar instances were given by the
captain to show that there was little il
any. alienation of suffering among the
+ poor as yet.
we don't look for any until warm
/ weather comes" he SAID. Meanwhile
/ all we can do is to work as well as we
may to relieve suffering. We need more
workers and more money to accomplish
all that needs to be done One thing is
/ fortunate-it is a healthy season If we
had smallpox to contend with this year
as we did last winter Z shudder to think
of the situation

SEABROOK WANTS CARS.
Vinewood People Asked to Extend
Their Line.

Seabrook addition. west of Washburn
college wants an electric car line. and
has been making advances to the Vine
wood Park railway company in the hope
Of inducing it to build into that locality.
At present there are prospects that III
the course of a year such line may bs
constructed as an addition to the pro-
jected Washburn college line. Manager
F G. Kelly states that he is not in
position to agree to such an extension
of the company's plans, but that he will
submit the proposal to e. w. Wilson at
his next visit to Topeka, which will BE-
made some time during early spring.
Seabroolz is about mile from a cal
line. The nearest buildings in the com
munity are more than a quarter Of a
mile from the Washburn terminus o.
the City railway while most of the Sea
brook people live considerably farther
away. It has a population of several
hundred people. During the past few
weeks there have been frequent con-
ferences between Seabrook folks and
Manager Kelly, and offers have been
made of financial support if the Vine
wood road will agree to build.

allow them to be in the drawing room

1t is to be feared that Mrs. Long is
one of those old-fashioned women who
are in love with their husbands. Her
husband is her ideal and perhaps that
is the greatest compliment that has

a man to be a hero to his valet what do
you think of a man who is a hero to his
