ALWAYS WITH US
Some of TOpeka's Poor and
Their Needs.
Deserving Case Reported by
the PrOyident Association.

A familiar character on the streets
of Topeka speaks of his wife as The
poor devil" and intimates con1den-
TALLY that she is somewhat wrong in
the upper story On the other hand
the woman says of him: He isn't
right-he's queer" The problem
that the Provident association man
agement and the county poor COM
missioner, c. n. Bacon, have in IRON
ing out difficulties is perpleXinSs
This strange couple are poor and
have repeatedly applied to the Prov
ident association for relief. 1t was
sociation that the poor farm was
the proper place for them. NO,
was the emphatic answer, and here
the unfortunate man "chucked a
chest why, 1 am a graduate of
Heidelberg and would rather Kill my
self than go there" And thus the
problem is a still more difficult one.
The wife is American born.
This familiar character, who is able
to earn dime or a quarter here ard
there, is seen on the streets with the
goods used in his trade under his
arm. But he cannot always make
enough coin with which to buy bread.
He appeared at the association
said get the grub, and 1 don't dare to
go back to the poor devil without it.
Why, she could overpower three
men,
1t is evident that he is AFRAID OF
the women he claims to have taken
from the gutter and married out of
pity. He even asserts that he has on
numerous occasions recently been
sleeping in a hay stack.
When asked by one Interested in
the case why he continued to live
with the woman he said: 'Oh, she
couldn't get along without me-"
According to those who have called
on his wife. she makes a better i'm
preston than her husband, who
speaks of her as 1.-The poor devil At
any rate the couple are poverty
stricken. half blind and quarrelsomc
and the problem of caring for them
has yet to be solved
There is a man in Topeka who On
account of sickness has been inca
pacitated for doing heavy work. He
has a wife. who has a tendency to-
ward tuberculosis, and five children
ranging in age from three to four
teen. The mother of the children
takes in washing when her strength
will permit, and the eldest daughter is
serving as a nurse girl during her
summer vacation from school. The
father is out of work and the family
is minus funds.
According to Miss Mary R. Vose,
secretary of the Provident associa-
ton. the family is a deserving one,
thrifty and neat. The father is look
ing for a place where he can serve
either as a day or night Waterman.
He is said to be honest and faithful
in his work.

Were Fully Established.

Grant Harrington. private secretary
to Governor Hodges, believes that the
penal board cannot fail to GUST NJ. F.
Amrine as superintendent of the
Hutchinson reformatory on the evil
dence submitted at the hearing in
Hutchinson this week. Harrington
was present at the hearing and be-
1ieves that a strong case was made
against the Stubs appointee. against
whom Sam Graybill filed charges for
dereliction of duty, violation of state
laws and INSTRUMENTATION.
Even on Amrine's own testimony
said Harrington, "a strong case has
been made. The reports sent from
Hutchinson regarding the hearing
were unfair and in many ways mis-
represented the situation. 1 think
that in the main the charges against
Amrine were fully established"
