Daughter Finds Father, After Fifty
Three Years, Who Failed to Claim
ssss- Remarked Wife.

Tarrytown, NJ Y.-As the last chap
ter in dramatic story which closely
parallels Tennysons .Enoch Arden"
Capt Lewis 3. Hunt of Tarrytown.
N. Y. now eighty-four years old and
quite feeble, has started for Oregon
with his daughter. who has just seen
him for the first time In ifty-three
years. HE left his wife to another
man she had married in the belief
that he was dead. s@s3 Is
s When Captain Hunt came home to
Buffalo, N. Y, in 1865, after being dis
charged from his regiment at the
close of the war, amazed friends met
him at the station and told him they
had believed for several years that he
had died in battle.
X, They. told him that his wife had be-
lieved the reports Of his death and
had married again. Like Enoch Ar
den, he turned his back on Buffalo
and went adrift into the world, leav-
ing his wife in ignorance and to the
new happiness she had found.
Z When he went to the war his daugh-
ter was two years old. When he re-
turned to Buffalo he wanted to see the
child, but he dared not, because the
knowledge that he was alive would
ruin his wife's happiness. Therefore
he dropped out of sight Of all who
had known him.
This daughter grew to womanhood,
was married to man named Miller
French and moved to Clatskanie, Ore

husband moved to Wisconsin. As the
daughter OF a Civil war veteran Mrs.
French recently wrote to the pension
bureau to see II she could not obtain
a pension. The bureau informed her
that her father was alive and living at
Tarrytovn. where he was receiving a
pension. RI
Mrs. French hurried here and then
for the first time in flfty-three years
met her father.

EMBLEM |: OF NOBLE WORK
Double Red Cross, Symbol Of War
Against Tuberculosis, Was De-
vised by French Doctor.

The double red cross, the symbol Of
the war against tuberculosis, was
first adopted by the symbol Of the In
ternational Anti-Tuberculosis associa-
ton in Berlin in October, 1912. The
proposer Of the symbol was Dr. G.
Serron Of Paris, who Is now asso-
ciated secretary of L'Association Cen
trale Franchise Contre la Tuberculo-
sis. Today the emblem used by anti
tuberculosis workers in every part OF
the world, even in Iceland, India.
South Africa, Labrador. Japan, China
and the Philippines. The double
red cross is similar in shape to
a cross used frequently in the
Greek Catholic churches, and also
to the Lorrain cross of France.
In the United States over 1900 anti
tuberculosis associations aud com.

WHEN CLEANING HOUSE.
sIMPLEsT AND QUICKEST METH.
obs OF DOING THE WORK. Y
Housewife Of Experience. Of Course,
Has Her Own Manner Of Doing 4
Things, but These Hints May r
.ss Be Of Value.

For those who have put OF their
housecleaning from the spring to the
autumn the time of reckoning has
finally arrived. Perhaps few words
as to the simplest and quickest way to
get through this period of trial may be
welcome to many housewives:
g II you own a house start at the top
and work downward. II you are a
nat dweller, begin in the room far
thest away from the hail door, always
leaving the kitchen until the last.
One direction applies to every room
in the house. First take down all
hangings and draperies. The carpets.
too. must come up. II any Of these
are to be replaced by new, the old
coverings should be Immediately sent
to the laundry or cleaners. II not.
they should be carried out Of doors
and given a thorough brushing and
beating.
Next, all pictures and ornaments
should be removed from the walls and
thoroughly busted and cleaned. These
should then be piled in safe spot and
covered from the dust.
After this the floor should be we'll
swept When this is finished the wall
should be swept OF with clean
broom twice, then gone over with .
duster.
The floor should be brushed lightly
to collect such dirt as may have fallen
from the walls Chairs which are
stuffed should be thoroughly beaten
with a ho r,Ioo hot o,,d thon tho wood,
work on them polished. For the fine
furniture, which may be spoiled by q
polish OF beeswax or turpentine, a
good furniture cream should be used,
but this should be tried very carefully
before using on fine woods. Also a
perfectly dry silk cloth should be used.
For dining-room furniture the old
fashioned mixture of turpentine and
beeswax is better than anything else.
For leather covered chairs this IL
much better and safer than any new
tangled connections you may be per-
suaded to buy.
II there is fireplace in the room
this should be well cleaned and the
hearth well enameled.
Then scrub the floor thoroughly,
using strong carbolic soap and hot
water. When the floor Is perfectly
dry the clean carpet may be put down
and the stretches of floor which sur
round it should be- well polished with
plenty of beeswax and turpentine.
All cushions should be beaten out Of
doors before being returned to their
accustomed places.
The pictures should now be rehung,
the windows cleaned and fresh cur
tains put up. Nh 4
If the housewife will try one room
at time in this manner she will see
that even the men in the family will
not complain. for they will not know
that housekeeping is going on.

guests, he remarked:
