80 Yea Cd Man
Would Walk in the
Freez rg eAtmosphere

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Dec. 12.-
Bent with 80 years OF age, shivering
with the cold and suffering from an
acute attack of asthma, Charles Ward
was picked up on Canal-st. by Patrol
man Lennon and sent to the station
for lodging.
After the old man was comfortably
seated in a chair beside the radiator
in the station and his pain had been
soothed by frequent applications OF
hot water by the kindhearted officers,
he said that he left Saratoga Springs,
n. Y, four days ago and was going
to his daughters, Mrs. G. +. Hath
away and Mrs. George Taylor. who
live on farms near Howard City, but
that his money was exhausted when
he got here and he could not go any
farther. He expressed his intention
OF walking the remainder OF the dis
lance, but was prevented by the cold
which brought on an acute attack OF
his malady.
He said he had not had anything to
eat since leaving New York, as his
money was barely sufficient to pur-
chase his ticket TO Grand Rapids.
He was given every attention by
Capt. Millaley, including a good meal
and warm place to sleep and was pro-
vided with ticket wherewith to
reach his destination.
A man may select his wife, but he
can't pick out his own relatives.
