HORACE WILSON WINSOR.
DIED AT HIS HOME JUNE II, AFTER
LINGERING ILLNESS.
Good Citizen, a Consistent Christian
and a Loyal Mason Gone
to his Reward,

Died, at his home on College
street, Wednesday evening at s
o'clock, H. W. Wihsor, aged So
years, months aud 25 days.
Horace Wilson Wiusor, the son of
Edward and Mary Winsor, was born
in Lexington October 23rd, lS4S. He
was first associated with his father in
the insurance business and later in
the coal business, which led him to
change his place of residence for a few
years to Higginsville and afterwards
to Kansas City. He was twice mar
ried. His first wife lived only about
eighteen months 10 April, 1895, he
married Miss Susie Hunter, of Odessa,
who survives him. The other living
members of the family are; Mrs.
Mary S. WinSor, of this city, mother
of the deceased, and the following

ton; Mrs. j, B. Silver, Grand Rapids,
Michigan; Mrs. Annette Peters, Lex
ington; Mrs. NJ. w, Offutt, Bethesda,
Maryland; Mrs. Leroy Farmer, Lex
Sington; Mrs. T. H. Kaufman, Alton,
Illinois; Mrs. Mary Willie Chew,
Lexington.
For several years Mr.. Winsor has
been sufferer with diabetes and for
the past six months his decline has
been rapid. He spent some time in
the Scarritt hospital, Kansas City,
and at Excelsior Springs but obtained
little relief. Finally he returned home
and awaited the end with the patience
and fortitude Of Christian hope.
Mr. Winsor became member of
the Baptist church in 1892, and from
that time the interests of his church
were among his dearest concerns. He
was a deacon in the Lexington church,
interested in all of its activities, and
faithful officer He was also Past
Master of the Lexington Lodge 149,
A. F. & A. M; Past High Priest, Lex
ington Chapter, No. 10, R. A. M;
Past Eminent Commander of DeMo-
lay Commandery, and at the time Of
ais death was Secretary of the above
EXAMINATIONS.
AS Christian and as a Mason Mr.
Winsor adorned his profession by a
life of integrity, simplicity and self
sacrifice. He was a plain, direct man
lin business methods and in speech.
He said what he meant and meant
what he said. He had the confidence
aud respect Of everybody, and the af-
feCtion of all who appreciate the vir-
tues Of character which were his.

Missouri River Floods.

The recent flood has made the peo-
pie of Missouri interested in looking
up statistics of former oVerhows. In
1885 the rivers of the west were so high
that that date has been called the ''year
of the great waters" In 1901 the wa
ter reached the SO foot stage at St,
Louis; in 1911 and 1925 unusual high
water was recorded; in .S44 the river
reached the Al foot mark at St. Louis !;
there was high water in 1850 and 1857,
and in 1877 the highest since 1874.
This was exceeded by the overflow OF
1881.
The first general overflow, known to
the whites, was in May, 1926, arising
from an early thaw in the mountains.
May the first the river began to rise,
and by the 9Th was at Its highest.
The next general overflow was in
1874, when the water was even higher
than in ls26.l
The season was unusually wet and
aoody. All the streams west were
high. The cause Of the phenomenal
rise in Missouri was the extraordinary
treshets IN the Kaw or Kansas river,
added to she usual "June rise" (unus-
ual this year, and some heavy local
rains. But it was the Kansas that did
By far the greatest damage. The rise

Fashion In Artificial Teeth.

It is said that over 100000
artificial teeth are manufactured
yearly in the United States, and Q
curious fact about them is that they
have to be colored to meet the fash
ion prevailing in various countries
for which they are intended.
England nowadays, in common
with most European countries, de-
mands dull white teeth, but in Italy
and Spain they are liked of a bril-
liant china white. In South Ameri-
ca there is a demand for yellow
teeth, and in China, Japan and in
some parts Of the cars dominion
the color varies from blue to black.

Patti is that concerning a little
maid left at a hotel in which the
matchless prima donna was staying
while her mother had gone to a con-
cert at which the queen of song
was unable, owing to stormy even
ing, to appear. Nine. Patti entered
the room.
"But I do want to hear her,"
sobbed the child to her unknown
visitor.
'Let me sing to you, darling"
said Nine. Patti, who thereupon
sang a simple lullaby to the child.
The little ones tear frightened eyes
cleaned with rapture as she lis
tened, until at last she broke out
with, "Why, you are Nine. Pattiw

Quick Courtehip.

A young servant girl asked leave
to attend a friends funeral. Her
mistress put herself to some incon-
venience to allow her to go. On her
return, much to the ladyss surprise,
she gave a months notice, and
when asked the reason for so doing
replied:
4e swell, ma'am, to tell the real
truth, the corpse's husband said l
was the life and soul Of the whole
party, and I'm engaged to be mar
ried to him."

The Eskimo.

Eskimo women carry their babies
in sort of pocket in their capes
and nurse them till they are three
and sometimes four years of age. At
the end Of about two years or SO
they accustom the children to eat
solid food. In doing this the moth
ers themselves first chew the food
a piece of whale, maybe-and then
give it to the children to eat. There
seems to be no such thing as break
fast, dinner, luncheon or supper
They eat, very sensibly, when they
Individually feel like it. They go to
bed absolutely naked, rolling them
selves up in reindeer skins.

III. I'll. HAYDEN DEAD.

The death Of II. H. Hayden at
his home in Eau Claire last Sun
day night removes from the field
of active men in northern Wiscon-
sin one of it's strongest and best
characters. Mr.. Hayden was
perhaps, at the time of his death,
atthe very head Of the bar in
northern and central Wisconsin,
and it is very doubtful if there
was a better lawyer than he in
the state or the northwest. In
talking to some young lawyers
we remember hearing Mr.. Hay
den say, several years ago:
''Build a law suit just like you
would building. First the ex
cavations have to made, then the
stone foundation must be lai6
and gradually the building must
go up as it is planned. The ex-
act location of doors, windows,
floors and timberS must all be
calculated in advance. and then
the building will progress just
exactly as outlined. A few
trOwels of mortar may be neces-
sary here and there that have not
been planned on, but only the
filling in of some places will be
necessary if the work is all laid
out ahead of time-iust so in the
trying of a case, the foundation
and every particle OF the litiga-
tion must first be planned with
minute detail, and then in it's
trial a few chincks of mortar in
the way of testimony will COM
plete it, and if you are right, you
will win." Mr.. Hayden applied
these methods to his practice
Every piece Of ground work was
always thoroughly gone over be-
fore he went into court, and the
result is shown in his great suc-'
ceSSeS.
The deceased was perhaps no
better known in his own home
than throughout Bayfield, county.
Like all new localities there has
been some big litigation here,
and in every important case Mr..
Hayden took part. The county
and the town have employed him
time and again, and when the
very best talent was sought a
representative was sent to en-
ploy Mr.. Hayden. He never
failed to bring results. The
county seat controversy years
ago was under his persona
charge, the school house litigal
ton was managed by him, and
finally thelast good piece of work
was the thwarting of the attempt
to tear up the Washburn, Bay
field and Iron River railroad.
Mr.. Hayden had as warm person
al friendss in this city and |
throughout Bayfield, county as
were ever enjoyed by any man,
and the news OF his death gave !
to our people a shock that would |
have been no greater had the |
annOun cement been concerning
one Of our own men men.
He was a good man. an able law
yer, and he will be greatly miss
ed.
