OVERLAND TOURISTS
 IN PITIABLE PLIGHT
By Associated Prcss)

LIVINGSTON, Mont, July II. - Compelled to take the place of his horse in the wagon shafts, when the animal fell dead on the road near Missoula. a man with his wife, three children and their few pos sessions arrived within a few miles of Livingston in a pitiable condi- tion. Misfortunes had beset them from the beginning. Repeated crop failures had driven them from the western part of the state and their destination was North Dakota, where they hoped to receive aid.
 Theman had dragged the light wagon for miles and when he gave up exhausted, his wife took his place until a passing motorist saw their plight and summoned help. The Red Cross here provided food and cloth ing and will devise some way to send the family on.

some anecdotes of the Russian cam
paign there is a story told of the great
Emperor and a poor but witty barber
who had occasion to shave him.
