COMES TO TAKE
 ARTIST HOME,
 FINDS HIM DEAD
William Rankin, Father ot Detroit Man, Discovers
 Body.

New York, May 4.-In little hall room of the artist colony, at 226, West Fourteenth street, George Rankin, thirty-two years old, an artist, was found dead yesterday by his father, William Rankin, a prosperous stone cutter contractor of Detroit, who had come to this city to inquire into the health of his son, following the re- ceipt of,a letter which mentioned ill., ness. The circumstances surrounding the life of the artist old of a bid for fame as a painter, which failed.
 The only son of the wealthy con- tractor. the artist as a boy showed a taste for painting, although the father preferred he should succeed him in his business. He submitted to the boys pleas. however, and sent him to an art school. The young man left his home at No. 625 Avery street, De- troit, nearly two years ago for New York.
 Glowing were the letters which were received at home Fame had not yet arrived, but it was coming The stonecutter saw that each month brought to his son a substantial let. ter. Last Monday letter was re. ceived in which the artist told of g cough. The discouraging tone alarm. ed the artists family.
 MT. Rankin arrived here to take his son home. The landlady then re called she had not seen the artis since last Tuesday, and both hurried to the little hall room he occupied d The door was locked. bu was opened with a pass key. On the wall were two unfinished paintings of wood land scenes. On the bed lay the ar tist, dead.

THE MOVEMENT FOR
 PRESERVING BIRD LIFE

The movement for the preservation and study of bird life in America may
 be said to have begun in the early part of the last century through the
 untiring efforts of John James Audu- bon, who was born near New Orleans on May 4, 17S0. Early in life he de- veloped a fondness for nature and he
 devoted himself to it's study all his life. Audubon, as his name implies,
 was of French descent, and at an early age he was sent to Paris to study. When he returned to his na-
 tive land he settled on a farm near
 Philadelphia. He married and en-
 gagged in trade but his fondness for
 the forest soon made him abandon
 this and he spent most of his time in
 the south, particularly in Florida
 where he hunted and studied birds.
 His taste for drawing assisted him considerably in his work of record
 ing bird life and in 1928 he publish ed his first volume with profase il- 1ustrations. This was after he had set out with his wife and child and had descended the Ohio River, roam ing the forest for many years. draw ing the birds which he shot. He ex- hibited his works in England and Scotland. The crowning effort of his life was the publishing of his 'aThe Birds of America" in four volumes, which is today considered the stand
 ard work on the subject of our bird life. The government of the United States recognized the value of Audu- bon's work and gave him the use of a vessel which he used in exploring 1 the coasts of Florida and Texas. The great naturalist died at his home in New York on January 27, 1851.

THE ECONOMY OF
 PUSHING YOUR CREDIT.

There's nothing so discouraging as to see bills piling up and now that they must be paid in a lump sum on a certain date. Everyone has had this experience unless they have bought wisely-that is, bought on credit.
 The manager of the Caesar Misch Stores in an interview said that peo- pie who had a prejudice against buy ing on credit and have handicapped their personal appearance by going without were amazed after they had bought the Cheerful Credit way to find out how simple a matter it was to pay the bills for no lump sums are ever demanded and the small, week ly, partial payment plan scarcely makes any difference at all to the family purse.
 In this way whole families are en- abled to buy the latest, fashionable clothing where otherwise they would be obliged to go without.
 The stocks of the Caesar Misch Stores are right at the best now. New styles are pouring in every week. so that this daylight Clothing Store is a veritable ever changing fashion cen ter.-Adv.

Charles Deneen, a Fighter

Charles Samuel Deneen, former Governor of Illinois, was built for big things. If you don't believe it just ask those who know him and have worked with him. He is fifty-four years old today and there is enough energy left in him to tackle the big gest problems of state as we'll as any other kind of a problem that might crop up. When he got into the gub- ernatorial chair of the state of Illi- nois he was at once confronted with the greatest problem that the gover- nors of that commonwealth had had to contend with-the powerful foe of every statesman, namely Bossism. And Bossism in Illinois was being spelleu with capital B when De- neen took hold. He just laid his plans and when the time was ripe he took off his coat and fought, and Illinois Bosses learned that Governor Deneen was a scrapper from way back. It seems that although Deneen had had quite public career those who thought they were the bosses in Illinois didn't believe the chief execu- tive of the state would do anything to hamper. them. They were terribly mistaken. He scattered them to the four winds and his tenure of office as gOVfenOr or llllnO1S was mdrkQ LOT efficiency.
 Charles :. Deneen early in life took it into his head to be something big. He set about it in the way that hun
 dreds of other big men have done, that is, he become a school teacher and was engaged in this occupation for about three years before being ad- mitted to the bar in 1886. From then on his rise was steady. He practiced law in Chicago and in 1890 became a member of the Illinois House of Re presentatives. From 1896 to 1904 he was states attorney for Cook County and then served two terms as gover- nor of his state, guiding it's affairs with a wise hand from 1905 until 1913.
