RECALLSOIHER DAYS
Alfred Rowland, Who Left Keno
sha in 1859, Returns to the
City for First Visit
VETERANS GREET CoMRADE

Alfred Rowland, of Chico, Ca1ifor-
MIA, one Of the old residents of Keno
sha, is making his first visit to the
city in nearly thirty years and his
presence in the city has recalled
many interesting incidents to the
memory Of the earlier settlers of the
city. Mr.. Rowland is son of the late
Thomas Rowland, who formerly re-
sided near Anderson Park and owned
large portion of land in that section
of Pleasant Prairie. Rowland avenue
was named for the father of Mr.. How
land.
There were seven brothers in the
Rowland family but all of them have
long since left Kenosha and but two
of them now survive. The oldest
member of the family gained fame
on account of the fact that he was
considered wit and he gained his
reputation by writing "Sam Ha1e's
Prayer" poem which caused lots of
fun among TIKI earlier residents Of the
city. The Howlands, however, were
a military family and their come tion
with the Civil war was one of the
bright spots in the military history of
Kenosha county. Three days after
the fall Of Fort Sumpter three of the
Rowland boys, Levi, Alfred and Icha-
bod, enlisted as members of Com pany
G of the First Wisconsin and they
were in the first company of Wiscon-
sin soldiers to be accepted by the
government. They served the three
months term and then all enlisted
as MEMBERS of the First Wisconsin
Cavalry. Ichabod, one Of the broth
ers, was killed in an engagement at
Dalton, Georgia, on May 9, 1864. The
other brothers served to the end of
the war, Levi Rowland being mus
tered out with the rank of Major of
the First Cavalry. Just after the
close Of the war the members of the
family all left Kenosha and,tkis is the
first visit that Alfred Rowland has
made to the city since 1869. His visit
has been the occasion for several
meeting Of the mem bers of the Grand
Army at which many interesting in
cidents of Kenosha in war time were
recalled.

How to Clean Laoquered Brass.

Remember not to apply polish to lac
Quered brasses. Rub them only with a
chamois leather or wash them with
tepid soapsuds without any soda. After
this, dry and polish with the chamois.
Soda should never be used to wash
china. particularly when the china is
gilded. The use of soda in the water
is what has caused so much of the gilt
decoration to disappear from the trag-
lie gilt and white china of our grand
mothers day. Brush cut glass well to
remove dust from the fluctuations be-
fore washing it, and never dip either
fragile china or fine glass into too hot
water or it will crack.

TO PREVENT SKIDDIVG.
How to Manage an Auto on SLIP
perry Road.

How to Manage an Auto on Slip
perry Road.
The ordinary small skid on a slip
perry road may be overcome by turp-
ing the steering wheels in the opposite
direction to that which the real wheels
are trying to follow and then, as the
car straightens up and starts to skid
the other way, swinging them back
again, continuing this until the ma
chine steadies itself.
Except the skids which sometimes
occur in descending a steep hill on
muddy roads, those which most often
happen occur on city streets after rain
or the passage Of sprinkling cart
when attempting to turn a corner or
when the brakes are applied.
What the results will be cannot be
foretold, says writer in Suburban
Life 1t is usually advisable to take a
chance in shaving close to other vehi-
cles rather than to take the risk of
applying the brakes hard on slippery
roads.
The side slip happens SO quickly that
the operator scarcely knows it has
ST. before the car is turned half
way around or is even headed in the
opposite direction to that in which it
was going. A car can be stopped
without causing it to skid by applying
the brakes quickly, releasing them and
applying them again, overcoming each
small skid with the steering wheel
Often where the service brakes are
on the hubs it is advisable to use the
lower speed gears as brake, as the
action on the rear wheels will then be
about the same With hub brakes one
may be set tighter than the other, and
when these are applied the car will al
most invariably skid to one side or the
other.
The best method is to go straight
ahead as far as possible, gradually
slackening the speed of the car and
avoiding sharp sWerves right or left
or turning any corners. Ordinarily the
car will not skid even at high speed
on a slippery road so long as a straight
course is followed, but the moment a
turn is attempted o. the brakes are
applied the trouble begins.
