Youngster Frosted His Toes.
Austin, December 23. William, the five year old son of Mrs. A. G. Moore, who reside on a farm just beyond the city limits awoke from his night's sleep and was terribly frightened not to find his mother at hand. She was in another part of the house. The little fellow in his nightie and with bare feet ran a mile to the nearest neighbor's. Mrs. Frank Page. She gave him a rub down with snow and then bundled him up in warm blankets. With the exception of ten frosted toes he was none the worse for the exposure.
