little surprise. This brother and his
two daughters have been members OF
the Order for many years, the daughters
having held various offices. They have
rarely been seen in the Chapter Room
recently owing to Mr.. Strathern's mfr
nifty, and the necessity of one daughters
constant attendance upon him. But If
they could not come to the Chapter, the
Chapter, in obedience to its principles,
went to them, carrying the flowers OF
the Order, and accompanied by the
Chapter orchestra which entertained all
with selections ranging from classical to
modern ragtime. Mrs. l.. b. Jones
sang. and as the late hour warned the
visitors away, all united in singing

Joining with evident enjoyment. AS al
listened to the touching words OF thanks
aud good night uttered by this man
who is still as vigorous intellectually a
in former years, although perfectly help
less physically, we are sure each one re
ioiced in the fact that as members o
this beneficent Order they had been abl
to give him this unexpected pleasure.

Letter TO o. T. Davis.

Dear Sir: Here's what wears longer
means.
u. +. McGown, Cooperstown, y. y,
built house in 50 aud painted DeYoe
The paint lasted ten years.
4 year or two later, a neighbnr built
a house aud painted it lead aud oil. The
neighbor's house was reprinted twice in
the same time.
This looks AS if the ueighbor's house
WAS painted three times IN eight or nine
years, and Mctowu's once in ten years.
We are not quite sure--we tell the tale
as il comes to It's.
1t is enough to say that Deyoe Lead
and Zinc lasts twice as long As lead and
oil alone. The reason is white lead
is soft aud chalks off zinc is hard
and, when thoroughly ground into the
lead, prevents its chalkiug and makes II
more durable.

The horsemen are planning to ask
the city council for the privilege of
using Durkee avenue as a speed way
during the winter and if there is sufi-
cient snow it is probable that there
will be some races that will be worth
seeing. Nearly every city gives the
horsemen the right to use one of the
streets as speedway and tits thought
that the council will grant the request
here.

SEEKS MISSING MAN
DEMENTED IN A STRANGE MANNER

Mrs. Elizabeth Clausen, of Chicago,
came to Kenosha this morning to make
an effort to find some trace of her hus-
band, who has been missing for the
past FIVE weeks and who is supposed to
be working about the village of Salem.
Clausen, who is about thirty-five
years of age, had been acting strange
~ just before he left his home in Chi
cago and his wife seems to think that
there is reason to believe that he has
become demented and is wandering
about the county. Mrs. Clausen was
out to Salem Thursday but she found
no trace of her missing husband but
people residing in the neighborhood
state that man answering the de-
scription of the missing man was seen
wandering about the county. He had
applied for work at several farms in
the town of Salem and when he started
to work he seemed to be troubled with
mental trouble. He was laboring
under the hallucination that represen-
tatives of labor union we're pursuing
HlLu anu 1OI lLl1S ICdSOu TIC uCVCI IC-
manned at one place more than a
couple of days. He last worked for a
farmer by the name of Hanche and he
left this place more than two weeks
ago. Since that thine absolutely no
trace can be found of him and the wife
thinks that it is possible that he has
committed suicide.
Mrs. Clausen stated that she was
unable to account for the queer hlaluc-
ination of her husband as he had never
been member of any labor union and
had spent most of his time working on
farms. When he left home he had
only enough money with him to carry
him to Salem and back to Chicago and
for this reason the woman is unable to
see how he could have gone far from
the county. Mrs. C1ausen is stopping
with friends in Kenosha and will re-
main here for several days in an effort
to find the missing man. The matter
was referred to the police of the city
this afternoon and they will probab bly,
seek to locate the man.
