MRS. JOHN B. LEE

states that he remembers well eating
his breakfast on that Friday morning
by candle light. There was no gas
service in Baltimore at that time, the
city being lighted by fish oil lamps
placed on posts in the streets. He
entered the store of one of his mer-
chant friends in Ohio and continued in
the mercantile business until several
years after his marriage to Miss Bran
son on June 20, 1874. The first trip
of Mr. and Mrs. Lee to visit their rela-
tives in and about Baltimore was made
in a buggy, the railroad at that time
only being completed as far as Cum
berland.
1t is interesting to note, in view of
the marvellous postal facilities Of the
present, that in the early 40s, when
John B. Lee and Elvira Branson were
exchanging love letters, the rate of
postage on single sheet letters was
six cents for distance of thirty miles,
increasing to twenty-five cents for a

able qualities. Their connection and
association with the settlement and
development of the great west adds
special interest to the simple lines of
their biographical history.
Mrs. Lee was born in Ohio, her
father, Isaac Branson, having been one
of the pioneer settlers in that state.
He came Of Quaker stock. He and his
bride made their wedding trip across
the mountains on horseback, and emf
grated to Ohio from near Winchester,
Va. Mr.. Branson settled in the Ohio
river, built a wooden mill and after.
wards flour mill and was one of the
first manufacturers on that river. Most
of his manufactured product was mar.
keted in New Orleans, being trans.
ported to its destination in fat boats
guided by long oars or sweeps in the
hands of crews offmen: The manufac
turing business of this pioneer was
ruined by one of the early tariff revis
ions, and it is needless to say he lived

THOUSANDS DAILY RISK LIFE TO
EARN LIVING.
PEACE MORE DANGEROUS THAN WAR
Study of Mortuary Records in Great
Cities Shows Startling Figures
81 Loss of Japanese Trivial Compared
With Dangers Of Making a Living.

The arts and labors Of peace are
more destructive to life than war Is
one of the paradoxial facts that can
be proven by study of the mortuary
records of the great cities. Tens OF
thousands of people daily face death
in sudden and terrible forms in their
daily work of earning living.
Nearly 5000 or, to be exact 1912
persons in the five boroughs of Great
err New York were reported to the po-
lice and health authorities during the
past year to have met with accidental
deaths or to be unaccountably missing.
This is the astonishing revelation dis
closed in the mortuary report filed a
few days ago with the department of
health 1t suggests the startling ques-
ton whether death and danger are
more native to peace than to war.
/ Vastly exceeding. as this does, the
humber of actual fatalities recorded OF
the Spanish-American war and remem.
Bering that, while war is an intermit,
tent evil. this alarming death roll is
growing rather than diminishing from
year to year, the startling answer is
that peace is far more dangerous than
war in the matter of earning daily
livelihood.
This is the avowed opinion of Com!
missioner Lederle and while the Rus
sian and Japanese guns arc salvoing
over Manchuria, one has bus TO travel

to Wheeling. At Wheeling
they took steamboat for Louisville.
There they changed to another boat
which brought them to St. Louis. At
ST. Louis they changed to an upper
Mississippi river stern wheel boat and
landed in Muscatine on the 28th day
of June in 1853. Their daughter Anna
Lee was then eight years of age and
John Mahin whom she afterwards mar
ried was at that time Editor of the
Muscatine Journal. The first man
with whom MIR. Lee did business in
Iowa was Marx Block, steamboat COM
mission agent at Muscatine, father Of
William G.. Block of that city and who
is kindly remembered by all the old
er citizens of the place. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lee landed in Muscatine on Sunday
afternoon and spent the night at the
old Ogllvie house which had just been
opened for business. though the build

distance of 400 miles. Two sheets Of
paper required double postage. There
were no envelopes and the sheets Of
paper were folded, sealed and ad-
dressed upon the back of the sheet. OF
course, in the matter Of correspond
ence between young gentlemen and
young ladies, the young man was al
ways expected to pay postage both on
letters received and letters sent. as
postage did not have to be prepaid
then as now. An ardent correspond
ence was calculated to make heavy
inroads on the pocket book Of the
young man.
Came to Iowa In 1850.
In 1850 Mr.. and Mrs. Lee moved
from Ohio to Philadelphia and IL 1853
they decided to again take up their
home on the frontier by emigrating
to Iowa.In the light of present trans
portation facilities,a description of this
trip is also interesting. From Phila-
delphia they came by rail

which they were born. the population
of the United States comprised less
than 100000 people. This popula-
ton has increased during their lives
at the rate Of almost million year,
for it is now in excess of 10000, 900
people. When they were born
there were no railroad or tele-
graph lines and the first steamboat
had been constructed only few years
previous. The battle of Waterloo was
only Ave years in the past and the

way to become convinced that the occu-
patton of Othello is tame one COM
pared with the dangerous trades to
which thousands of men and women in
this representative community resort
by day and night in order to keep the
wolf from the door.
II the wayfarer have imagination and
insight and degree Of human sym
pathy such an excursion may be some
thing like trip through chamber
of horrors. Why? Because a wayfar-
ing observer in the iron realms of toll
may be haunted by the ghoulish law
of life-the belief that all life to exist
must restroy life = that men some
how are driven along In discord or
consonance with the throbbing of the
strange machine of fate.
Starting from the new suspension
bridge over the East river one may be-
gin the journey. Seven lives have
been fed on by the giant spider of in
dustry In spinning the vast web that
now ,aces Manhattan and Long Islands
together In marvellous network Of
cables and strands known as the Will
liamsburg Bridge. Today the great
spider broods and lounges with tired
eyes half open in contemplating the
work now nearing completion. The
thousands of spectators who saw the
bridge dedicated a few. months ago
hardly realize the peril that the huge
contract meant and raeans for the
builders. Every working day tiny black
specks have been plodding to and
fro in tangle of ropes and cables
that resembled fairy threads from be-
low
Those shadowy specks crawling high
in the air have swung into place 5000
tons of cable. So high in the air hang
those great ropes, SO airy and fragile
in outline are those towers that no per-
son gazing upward from river or shore
can realize the dimensions of every
thing connected with the giant swing.
1t is only when one is up on the struc-
ture itself that the true proportion
Of the aerial roadway and the tremend-
GUS danger of the builders become ap-
parent
Six days in every seven an army of
men have ignored danger in balancing
themselves on the heights with their
liver in their hands. They have done
this for wages not more than sufficient

,ilies-and they have done it so long
that their eyes have become used to
the peril. Only when one of them
overbalances and with trailing cry
plunges into the air and water below
of their danger long enough to enter
tain momentary sickening fear that
passes away almost as soon as it
comes and leaves them on the heights.
Taking cab at the bridge, the con-
noisseur in dangerous modes of liveli-
hood, while driving to the city hall
park subway entrance, may consider
the life of the cabman on the box Day
and night, in rain and sunshine, wet to
the skin or dry as fever, the cabman
pursues his trade. Constant exposure
and irregular hours render him pre-
maturely old by slowly and surely sap
ping his vitality. They generally die
at the rate of 1882 as against 1000 of
the male population in the normal
lines of trade.

miles an hour, the train ran out about
thirty miles. where the road went over

years, it is impossible for words to
adequately describe or the mind to
grasp and comprehend, yet all this
transformation has taken place within
the life time of this worthy couple,
who are today celebrating their six
tieth wedding anniversary, and who
are in the enjoyment of comparatively
vigorous powers of mind and body.
Sketch of Their Lives.
In view of the great national trans
formation and development that has
occurred during the period of the life
time of Mr.. and Mrs. Lee, brief
sketch Of their lives will be read with
interest. Their lives are in no way
remarkable; their years have been full
of toll; they have had a full share of
the sorrows and joys that go to make
up the lives of the masses of the peo-
pie. They are today and have been
during all their lives, respected for
