Mrs. Harriet N. Lester.

Mrs. Lester died at the home of
her son, John A. Chinook, in the
town of Troy, Feb. S, 1908, aged "a
years, months, and days. She
did not seem TO suffer from any
particular ai1ment, death resulting
from the infrmities incident to ad-
vanced age.
Mrs. Lester, whose maiden name
was Harriet Owens, was born in
G1ocestershire, England, May %,
1918. In 1887 she was married to
James Chinook in Bristol, Eng
land, and in June 1912 came to
America. Mr.. and Mrs. Chinook
located in Ohio where they lived
until April, 1851 when they came to
Wisconsin and settled on the farm
in Troy. Mr.. Chinook died in
1870. In 1884 Mrs. Chinook mar
ried Ezra Lester. He died in 1898.
The deceased leaves seven child
rem by her first husband. One
child died in infancy. The surviv-
ing children are: Mrs. Isabel Will
liams of Prescott, G. w. Chinook
of this city, C. o. Chinook of Kin
nickinnic, ]. T. Chinook of Port
land, Oregon, Mrs. Sarah Carr of
this city, John A. Chinook of Troy
and Mrs. Hannah Carroll of West
Superior.
Mrs. Testers was life full of
activity, replete with quiet useful
ness. While she gave the first affec-
tons of her heart to her family and
attended conscientiously and un-
failingly to the duties of home she
was ever ready to give aid to those
who were in sickness and suffering.
Many of her old neighbors live to
appreciate the good judgment, ten
der sympathy and considerate nurs-
ing shown them in sickness by Mrs.
Lester.
The funeral was held from her
late home Saturday, Rev. D. B.
Spencer in charge of the service
and the remains were buried in
Willow River cemetery at Hudson.

Mrs. Beecher's Recital.

Mrs. Isabel Beecher received an
enthusiastic greeting in her recita-
tive interpretations at the Congrega-
tiona church last Saturday night.
The patrons of the Lecture Course
had expected something exception
ally fine in this number for the dis
eliminating press notices indicated
that she is one of the most popular
entertainers now before the public.
Nor were the people disappointed
in the estimate inspired by the
encomiums of the press and in their
preconceived ideal of the superior
excellence of her performance. 1t
was a superb entertainment. This
seems to be the uniform expression.
Mrs. Beecher is mistress of the art
of Interpretation, and she has SO
far perfected herself in the ability
to express her convictions that her
auditors lose sight of her personali-
ty as an individual in a view of the
idea she represents. Her descrip-
ton of the arena scene of Quo Va
dis was good. The predatory ex-
PLANTATION of the conditions of socie-
ty in Rome under the hideous Nero
prepared the audience for the fear
full tragedy in the arena of the Coli
scum and enhanced the interest in
the event. The presentation of
passages from Monsieur Beaucaire
was very fine. We shall all wish to
hear Mrs. Beecher again.
