NEkOOSA
M0URNs
The Sudden Death of Mrs. J. E.. Bra
zeau
From Thursdays Daily.

from thursdays Daily.
Sunday last, Mrs. J. E. Brazeau Of
Nekoosa was taken Ill and her condi-
ton proved to be more serious than
what was at first anticipated. While
she had not been in good health for
some time, neither she nor any of her
friends and neighbors had any idea
that her general condition was serious.
A consultation of physicians was
had and they found that as soon as
she was stronger she would be oblig-
ed to undergo an operation to improve
her health. This time never came.
She grew worse since Sunday and died
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock at her
home in Nekoosa. Her death has been
great shock to her family and COM
munity in which she lives. A good
wife and mother has passed on to the
great beyond.
Mrs. j. E. Brazeau was q lovely wo-
man Of Christian character and ready
to do her part in all church and all
other good work in the community in
which she lived. She was great help
to her husband in the mercantile bu-
siness ever since her advent into Ne
koosa. She was member of the Con-
gregational church where she proved
herself faithful worker in all bran
ches Of the church work. She was
president Of the Parental Association
of Nekoosa in which capacity she was
a great worker. In all these branch
es of her employment she will be great
~ missed. She leaves to mourn her
husband, one son, Guy Stanton Bra
zeau and little Bernice Brazeau who
is about three and half years Of age.
They all have the sympathy of their
many friends in Nekoosa, Grand Rap
ids and Wood county, where they are
well known.
The arrangements for the funeral
are not known at this writing. They
will be given later,

endorsements to General Mauncury
that made the victory of the Marine
certainty, proved so popular that its
permanent observance was at once de-
cided upon.
This was rendered all the more ad-
visable by the fact that of the thou
sand odd chauffeurs who participated
in the memorable feat, only a few
still remain in active service at Paris.
Hundreds were later modified, others
died, still other departed, till the num-
Der has become so reduced that the
| definite observance was decided upon
to prevent memory of the accomplish
ment from dying out.
The original thousand drivers were
cited to the order of the day before
the French armies for their deed, and
this fact their successors for all time
to come, will endeavor to keep before
| the public on all future anniversaries
of the battle of the Marine.
John Breten, one of the few of the
original thousand, who still drives a
taxi at Paris, has just given to the
United Press the following interview
Of the memorable day, from the taxi
cabs drivers point of view
at was little after noon," said
John, ''that the police began stopping
US, ordering US to dump passengers
forthwith, without the formality of
collecting either the fare or the tip
| due US, and to report Immediately to
our depots. There we were to receive
full supplies of petrol and Instructions
when the policeman stopped me,
[ had not eaten since my morning
roll and coffee, but what did the po-
| iceman care about that, or about the
| fact that / was not to have a bit of
anything to eat for another thirty-six
hours with the exception of a biscuit
that wheedled out of poor old wo-
man at Lagny. And all in the mean
time my blessed wife at home thinking
sure was dead, and the situation not
being improved upon my return by my
inability to tell her where I'd been
for we all had to take an oath not
| to tell a soul what we had done or
seen.
''They gave me ten soldiers for my
| first fare, three on the seat beside me
and seven inside And what a sad
load. During the whole trip, through
| the dark, with whole stream of taxi
cabs ahead of me, and another one be-
hind, not one Of those soldiers ever
offered me word or smile, or
cracked a joke amongst themselves.
But they were real men all right, all
right-grave, resolved, knowing fully
what was going to be asked of them,
but ready to risk and give all.
II landed them where I had been
ordered and hurried back to Paris
| with the rest Of my pals for fresh
| load. It was just the same as the
frst-not a word from any Of them.
All, that silence through the long
hours of the night was terrible, and if
| lived hundred years I would never
forget that ride, nor the appetite |
had after eating only one biscuit in
48 hours, nor the berating I got from
my good old wife when my oath pre-
vented me telling her anything about
it."

MARGARET GOES
To RIO De JANIERO
BY MARGARET MASON.
(Written for the United Press)

Before the beauty of the bay
At Rio, all wish to say
Is surging deep within my breast
Too wonderful to be expressed.
My tongue is mute, my pen is dry
Before the glories of the eye,
And yet hear on every hand
The clamor of the tourist band
Exclaiming loudly Its just grand"
Rio de Janiero, Brazil, Sept 6.-(By
Mail. THE Bay of Naples may brag
of its necklace of diamonds but in the
harbor of Rio de Janiero at night the
Bay is belted with diamonds and
Sugar Loaf mountain even boasts of
tiara Electric lights are really
superfiuous as first aids to beauty
here. Even the roseate splendor of a
sun swooning in a crimson sea, the
gold etfulgence of a harvest moon or
the CLEAN of a myriad tropic stars can
enhance no further the already exquis-
tie charm of this South American
Dream City.
With lavish and partial hand ma
tuFe has poured all her splendors at
rock just abruptly out of a sapphire
sea whose waves kiss sands as white
rs alabaster. Verdant palm fringed
valleys simmer at the base of jungle
covered hills Irridescent humming
birds and gorgeous butterflies feast
at the hearts of vivid tropic blooms
and sassy little swallows and blue and
green Brazil birds play tag in the sun
shine of Rios midwinter.
Surely Rio deserves the palm
when it comes to natural beauty and
she got it, too, when Don John VI of
Portugal brought the first Imperial
palm from the Isle de France in 1908
and planted it where it now stands,
rearing it's lofty royal head high
above the Botanical Garden. Thanks
to Dom John these are palmy days
with many palmy ways in Rio now

glossy dark green leaves in a reck-
less profusion that would cause any
