MISS KATE E. BENTLEY

Kate E. Bentley passed away on
Thursday, April 3, 1919, at the North
ern Hospital, Winnebago. The i'm
mediate cause of her death was
pneumonia, following an illness of
only one week. Death came so sud-
den that it was severe shock to her
hosts of friends. Her remains were
brought to this city on Saturday, and
on the afternoon of that day at three
o'clock the funeral services were held
from the First Universalist church,
the Rev. VIM. J. Taylor, pastor, con-
Quoting the same, and who paid
high and deserved tribute to her
memory. The services were largely
attended by relatives and friends;
covering the casket and in the back
ground was a profusion of beautiful
floral offerings, all of which spoke, far
more than words, of the love and es-
TEEN in which Miss Bentley was held
in this community. Interment was
in the family lot in Pine Grove
cemetery
The pallbearers were w. B. Schol-
field, e. A. Gooding, Karl Mathie,
A. V. Gearhart, j. N. Manson and E,
B. Thayer.
MISS hdU0 LllLdUolu h6HCloy was
born at Eau Pleine, Portage county,
uly 18th, 1857. She resided in Ste.
vens Point for time and came with
her parents to Wausau, at an early day
to make this pinery village her home,
and she had lived the greatest part Of
her existence in this city. She received
her education in the public schools of
Stevens Point and WauSau, and at
the age of sixteen began teaching in
the schools of Marathon county. Her
first term was taught in the town of
Weston, in what was then known as
the "Curley Joe district" where the
majority of the patrons and pupils
were Indians. Later she was gradu-
ated from the Oshkosh Normal, after
which she resumed teaching and filled
the position of principal in the public
schools of Schofield, Trappe and Ar
Dor Vitae, and did much school work
in Wausau. She went to the hospital
for treatment April 9th, 1918. She
was possessed of unusual capabilities,
especially in an educational way, and
in directing the minds OF many of
our students in right channels. Our
people owe much to her for assistance
given them in laying the foundation
for their education. Her life was de-
voted to the happiness of Others and
this unselfish spirit was Characters
tic of her life.
She was member of the First
Universalist church and of the Ladies'
Aid society, and for many years was
the society's secretary and treasurer.

CHARITY FUND IS
SHORT
DOES NOT OBTAIN $4,000
FUND-H. C. BERGER WILL
TAKE CONTRIBUTIONS

The Federated Charities campaign
for fund of $4,000 ended last
Thursday, when the Office maintained
for over week in the Western Union
Telegraph station was discontinued.
During the drive pledges amounting
to $6,667 were accepted. In view of
the necessity for $4,000 more to as
sure the institutions supported by the
associated charities proper support
during the coming year, Harry c..
Berger will take contributions at the
Marathon County bank building.
Responsibility on Giyer
The campaign was conducted on
basis different from that ordinarily
used. Quite generally it is the Gus
tom for the campaigner to approach
people directly, requesting their con-
tribution. The Federated Charities
left it to each individual to decide
what he or she could contribute to-
wards this work, doing nothing more
than sending out a stereotyped letter
and pamphlet, in which the work of
the Ladies Auxiliary to st. Mary's
hospital and the Children's Infirmary
was described, as well as the social
welfare work carried on directly by
the associated charities. The fund
desired will, it is believed, be reached
with pledges which were forgotten
during the drive.

NARROW ESCAPE

While l.. H. Wheeler was taking
his children out for an auto ride, with
several of their little friends, on Sat
urday afternoon and had started from
the home, his youngest daughter,
Peggy" about four years old, leaned
against the door. 1t flew open and
she fell out, rolling over and over.
Mrs. Wheeler was watching them
from the window and was the first to
reach her, and as she picked her up,
she said, that's funny; that never
happened to me before" She was not
injured, much to the delight of all, but
it was a narrow escape.

JOBS SCARCE FOR
BRITISH SOLDIERS
Officer, Honored by King George,
Finds 1t Impossible to
Get Work.
MAY COME T%OUNITEDsTATES
Reports Come From All Over the
Country of Difficulty Demobilized
Officers Have in Obtaining
Employment

London.-From all parts of the coun-
try come reports of the difficulty de-
modified officers are having TO find
jobs. Those former officers with wives
and families to support are In many
cases living ON meager pensions.
One of the most remarkable cases
OF unemployment is that of a Cam
bridge university graduate who for
the greater part of the wal held an
important command In the army and
subsequently a temporary post Of
great responsibility In a government
department. He is armed with a let
ter from the war Office thanking him
for his services and adding: 'There
are few people with greater organ
izing ability, more charming manners,
greater tact and drive than yourself"
Honored by King George.
Another letter to him from Sir Auck-
land Geddes, president of the board
of trade, expresses swarm personal
thanks for your loyal and devoted CO.
operation In very difficult work." King
George bestowed on him the order of
Commander of the British Empire.
But these credentials have been of
no avail in his quest for suitable en-
ployment in this country, and, In de-
spair, he says that he is going to
America next month.
Ex-officers have discovered that the
business world regards long military
service as a disadvantage rather than
an asset. An infantry captain, 43 years
old, with wife and three children,
said: 81 have farmed in South Africa,

best they could do. as trade was SO
bad.
