1872 RELICS WANTED
Wisconsin Citizens Who Had Ances
tors in Battle of Lake Erie Also Re-
ouested to Communicate With
Perry Commission.

The receipt, as loan, of an ivory
handled walking stick belonging to Mr..
Eugene Shepard of Madison, Wiscon.
sin, and made from black walnut
timber out of the flagship Lawrence
of Perry's fleet, has suggested to the
Milwaukee committee for the Perry's
Victory Centennial celebration, that
there are probably other authenticated
relics of the War of 1872 owned in the
state, and that it might be worth
while to try to assemble them for ex-
hibition.
The Green Bay committee also has
some relics of the 1872 period. and
the Plymouth Reporter recently an
nounced the possession by a clergy
man of that city, named Perry, OF the
Commodore's sword.
The flagship Lawrence" of Perry's
fleet was exhibited at Philadelphia in
1915 and was carried away piecemeal
by relic-hunters. All sorts of articles
were made out of her planks and tim
bers. 1t would be very interesting to
gather together a large number of
these. The last survivor of the fight,
the brig Niagara" has recently been
raised from her wate-y grave in Erie
harbor, and is now being reconstructed
for the centennial. The state of Penn
sylvania proposes, however, that she
shall not be destroyed as her sister
brig, the Lawrence, was.
Any one owning such relic and
willing to loan it for such a purpose
under proper guaranty of safe return,
is requested to communicate with Mr..
Fred w. Dickens, Secretary, 709 Ger
mania Building, Milwaukee.
1t has also been suggested that de-
scendants of soldiers and sailors of the
War of 1872, and especially of officers
and men (and boys) who took part in
the Battle of Lake Erie, on either side,
should make themselves known in or
der that opportunity may be given for
gathering of such citizens. Mr..
Dickens, or Mr.. J. McC. Bell, Secretary
of the Wisconsin Commission, 507
Federal Building, Milwaukee, will be
pl0dS0U 10 near from any SUCH OS-
scendants. The Wisconsin chapters of
nish a nucleus for such gatherings.
Cities holding special celebrations will
make special arrangements for such
gatherings.
Either Mr.. Dickens or Mr.. Bell will
be pleased to send to any interested
person a copy of the complete official
roster of Commodore Perry's fleet,
some 533 names in all, giving rank and
ship. 1t was the list of the distri-
butees of the prize money awarded by
congress for the Battle of Lake Erie.
The fact that nine citizens Of
Wisconsin are. known to be descend
ants of men who served on Perry's
ships, led to the idea that there might
be a goodly company Of others. "A re-
cent letter of inquiry to the well
known writer of southern stories.

From Bad to Worse.

Mr.. Nv. Grey, the author of seek
ing Fortune in America" tells of a
tourist who asked a Florida guide to
show him a pool where he could go
swimming.
The guide led him to bayou, but
the man disliked the looks Of the
place on account of the numerous
water-snakes, although he was assured
that they were harmless.
He refused to go in, and the ma
tive then took him to a pool where
there was not snake to be seen.
Here the tourist was satisfied, and
plunged in for his swim.
When he came out he asked the
guide If he could account for the fact
that there was no snakes in this pool,
when there were so many in the 9TH
er. How come there amt no snakes
In hyar? Why. the caters keeps 'em

There is a wonderful difference in
this world betweenNthe house that is
simply place to live in, with four
walls and roof, and the house which
is n real home. The difference is not
so much in the house itself as In the
combined effect or union of the house
witt it's surroundings. There are GER
tair styles of architecture that seem
to lAend naturally with shrubs, vines
and Covers. With such house any
worl' done along the lines of amateur
Landscape gardening seems worth
while for every nook and cor
ner e the yard, every Towering shrub
and every tree throwing out its wide
branches seems to add to the coy,
homef,ike appearance of the place.
Thif is one of the surest tests we
have gf excellence in architectural
desigI1 Some houses never seem to
be at ease, or in accord with the site
on witch they are built Every eff
fort ta improve and beautify the
grounfS serves only to bring out the
more strongly the plain awkwardness
of the house itself, which is of neces-
sity tfn very heart and center of the
whole picture. A well-designed resi-.
dence, IN the other hand, l care not
whethoG it is a little four-room cot

lars OF a splendid residence costing
many Thousands, seems to harmonic
and blGed with it's natural surround
ings.
In this connection it may be re-
marked that the use of cement plaster
has done perhaps more to bring about
this desired union between the house
and grounds than any other building
material. The sand, cement and grav-
ell from which the plaster Is made be-
Ing from earth products seem natural
ly to harmonic with lawns and shrub
berry. What could be more restful and
inviting than the cool, silver gray, the
natural cement color, contrasting with
