Old Couple IL Distress..

On his way IN from a little
hunt across the river Monday ],
o. Treece found an elderly couple
hovering over Z little camp fire
at one end Of the bridge. They
appeared in distress and Mr..
Treece went down to talk with
them. He found them very
scantily clothed, without food
and almost frozen. They had a
little old horse and a rickety
covered wagon and were trying
to make their way to a point
near coffeyville they said, where
they had some relatives they
thought. Mr.. Treece took the
couple to his home and warmed
and fed them, and found some
clothes for them. Then they
went down to Geo. Skies and
were given a bed in the camp
house, and there they were
yesterday waiting for the weather
to moderate 20 that they might
proceed on their journey. The
case Vas surely pitiable, but
people on the road 4 geeat deal
say they often see similar cases
of distress, and few people give a
thought 40 theseg poor homeless
wanderers.

" School Commissioner Burton S.
Tefft officiated in the role Of school
master Monday when he went 10

Joseph Welsh, who was called east
Saturday by the death of a rela-

and that Mr.. Tefft is replacing the
absent instructor temporarily is due
TO the shortage of teachers.
