LEROY LEE Dead
EMPIRES DURING NIGHT AT
PETER HEAGNEY FARM
DEATH SURPRISES
FRIENDS.

Leroy Lee, aged 80 years, a life
long resident of Lake county, was
found dead in bed at G o'clock this
morning at the farm home of Peter
Heagney, six miles northwest of the
city. While il had been known that
Mr.. Lee had been suffering somewhat
from tonsilitis, he vas able to be
about the farm where he worked yes
terday, and his condition was not
considered serious. Death is thought
to have been due to heart trouble.
That he had died after retiring last
night was learned when Mrs. Heag-
ney called him at breakfast time.
Mr.. Lee, who was known to his
friends here and in many other places
in the state where he had attended
militia encampments, as Spy" Lee,
was in the city last Tuesday. He
then complained that he was having
trouble with his throat. Mr.. Lee was
a first lieutenant in Co. ID, which
disbanded here a few months ago.
He was born in the old village of
Madison on the shores of Lake Mad
ison. His father, William Lee, was
the first sheriff of Lake county.
Both the father and mother died
here, the father about eight years
ago and the mother in 1914. There
survive a brother, Irving d. Lee. of
this city, and a sister. Mrs. Mabel
Ireland, of Webster. Sidney Lee, of
this city, is a cousin.
Mr.. Lee was one of the tallest men
in the county, measuring 6 feet and 5
inches. He earned the appellation of
Spy" when as a boy he assumed the
role of a spy in an amateur play
given here.
Arrangements for the funeral had
not been completed this afternoon.
The remains were prepared for burial
at the Hallenbeck undertaking par
lors.

must maintain constant appearance
of prosperity, even though it is false.
One OF the frailties of human nature
is the fact that the world has little
or no sympathy for failure, and the
mere appearance Of being hard up"
is dctriment to man of business.
In these matters, however, there al
ways is a happy medium, and, while
the world may turn cold shoulder
to the man whose appearance sug-
gests that he is not prosperous it still
treats him more kindly than one who
is out OF money and in debt. Sensi-
bic thrift or, as l have said before,
the greater thrift, should be practiced
in these m2'ers to the end that
man will rcger allow himself to be-
come ha"eics;ly involved in debt and
at tn time avoid an existence
OF mis- lcss.
The high cost of food and clothing,
and the cxacting demands of chang
ing fashions, are stumbling blocks 10
those who would live frugal lives.
But the rewards OF thrift arc so sat-
isfying and so substantial that they
arc worth the sacrifices of personal
pride that are demanded.
The importance of thrift has been
given official recognition by the
Canadian government in connection
with its new war loan. The Minister
of Finance declares that thrift cam-
paign must be conducted in the Do
minion in order tn. money may be
obtained for munitions and supplies
for the army. This shows the ma
tional value of personal thrift. While
it means considerable from a none
tary standpoint. its greatest virtue,
perhaps, lies in = reflected influence
on the lives OF tie people.

"a splendid tribute to the growth of
thrift in the country,
One Of the chief causes Of thrift
lcssness among Americans is false
pride. Many men and women have
the inclination to save money. but
che desire to make an appearance of
afluence or prosperity keeps them
constantly in debt. To go in debt for
luxuries is an exceedingly bad prac-
ticc. 1t amounts to spending, I'M
necessarily, money not yet earned.
It is unfortunate, perhaps, that pco-
pic are judged somewhat by their
clothes, and by their methods OF
livelihood. 1t is also unfortunate
that the exactions of modern bust
ness, especially in the great cities, de-
mand often that man, in order to

FATHER FINDS
SONS MISSING
SIXTEEN YEARS
Last Saw Them as Children
Struggling in Waters of
Great Flood.

BARTLETT, Tex, Oct. 14.-W. N.
cehand, a farmer near Bartlett, was
reunited few days ago with his two
sons, James and Rudolph, whom he
had mourned as dead for sixteen
years.
The Cehand family were living in
Galveston at the time of the great
storm which swept over that city in
September, 1900. When the food
swept in from the Gulf struck their
house it collapsed and the members of
the family were cast into the torrent.
Mr.. Cehand managed to catch hold of
piece OF wreckage and chung to it
for several hours while he was dashed
hither and thither. and he was finally
flung UP on the mainland several miles
from the site Of his wrecked home.
In Great Flood.
When his house went down Mr.. Ce-
hand caught a glimpse of his wife and
two sons as the mountain of water
swallowed them up. The two boys,
then aged three and five years respect
lively, were holding each other in an
embrace and Mrs. Cehand was endeav-
oring to reach them. That was the
last he saw of any member OF his
family since that memorable day when
they were torn apart in the raging
storm, until few days ago his two
sons. now grown to young manhood,
alighted from the train at Bartlett.
MIR. Cehand made long search after
the storm to discover the fate of his
wife and children; but he could OBJ
tain no trace of them and he finally
gave them up as dead. 1t appears now
that the two boys were swept to a
point on the mainland remote from
the spot where their father landed and
we're found by q party Of rescuers and
placed in the hands of the sisters of
charity. who found them home in a
convent in distant city. The older
son, James, remembered his own
name and that of his brother and 1t
was this that led to their ultimate dis
covery by their father. After remain
ing few years in the convent they
were adopted by family living in
California.
Found in California.
The two boys were making their
home in Sacramento, Calf. when one
day few weeks ago an old friend of
the Cehand family, travelling through
California, saw James in the street
and perceived the family resemblance.
He questioned James, who told him he
was James Cehand.
The visitor then informed the boy
that he thought a man named Cehand
whom he knew in Texas, was probably
his father. Upon returning to this
state the family friend informed the
elder Cehand of his discovery. Letters
were exchanged and the two young
men came here and rejoined their
father.
