for the present with his brother
and will shortly visit his nepe"'
William. in Rock Island.
William a Peterson OF ROCK IS
land was greatly surprised Monday
afternoon. when he called to see his
parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Charles e.
Peterson. He was told to enter the
dining room and shake hands WIN
= gentleman whom he ought to
know" On complying with the re-
quest OF his parents. he was con-
fronted by an elderly man whom
ne had noticed on Market square
in Rock Island Saturday.
To his amaZeuent he was told
thai the stranger was his long lost
uncle Otto. The uncle spent most
OF the 43 years Of his absence in
Kansas CITY. and st. Louis, Mo.
Eight years ago, after the mem
here Of the family had advertised
extensively in western newspapers,
William learned that his uncle,
Otto, had owned farm at Spring
Ranch. Clay county, Nebraska, but
which carly in the SOS he had
sold. He hunted up the purchaser
OF The land and was told that his
uncle after receiving the purchase
price had left. This was the only
clue to his uncle's whereabouts
that came into possession of the
family since Otto left Orion in
1878.
Otto was born and reared in Gen
eseo. He made his hume with his
elder brother Charles. His sudden
disaDDearance and the long silence
during his wanderings gave mem
bers OF his family great distress.
William Peterson of Rock Island
has not yet learned where his I'M
Gle has been spending nearly half
a century Of time since he left
Orion in 1878. because he had to
leave Orion a few moments after
meeting his uncle.
Two Others Missing.
An interesting side light upon
Ot.o's long absence is that where
abouts OF two OF his other brothers
are at present unknown.
John Peterson left home five
years after Otto's departure, and
no trace of him has been found
Another brother, Peter, who 25
years ago sold his farm in McPher-

church and rectory at DeLand; en-
larged the church and built a small
rectory at New Smyrna; gave Fort
Pierce it's first Catholic church and
through it maintained the most
friendly and cordial relations with
his protestant neighbors. In fact
the new archbishop Of Baltimore
has always been proud Of the fact
that my protestant friends out
number my Catholic friends, ten

The then priest became an Amer

In the fall of 1903 he suffered
a severe attack of neurasthenia of
the brain, induced by his heavy
work and was forbidden by his doc
tor and his bishop to present him
self for further degrees. He re-
Taxed his zeal in his studies, rested
several months and then continued.
He was ordained priest by Cardinal
Parochi, March 10, 1904, in the
Basilica OF ST John Lateran. Dur
ing the greater part of his stay in
Rome the rector OF the university
was then Monsignor Cater Cardi-
nall COmmaSsei.

in Rome as the happiest in my life,''

On June 90, 1904, the young
priest bid adieu to the Eternal City
and the early days OF July found
him at home in Athlone after an
absence of four years from his par

Queenstown for New York, plant

bishop, the late Bishop Kenny, at
St Augustine on the eve of Thanks

Bishop Kenny died in October,
Plus Y named the young priest as
Bishop of St Augustine. He was
then just 10 years a priest, and 81
years and six months old-one of
the youngest men who had ever
held so important a post in the
church. He was consecrated in the
old cathedral OF St. Augustine
June so by Bishop Kelley of Sa-
vannah.
The seven years of his episcopate
have been busy ones. He has
caused to be erected at least 50 new
churches.
Just a few weeks ago he was en-

TT IS a well-known fact that the
Polished Girdle Diamond is su-
perior to other diamonds in bril-
lance and beauty. One reason for
this is the patented process of cut
ting and polishing, which brings out
beauties that might be hidden or lost
by any other method. Another rea-
son is that only the most perfect
stones can be subjected to this proc
ess. Women who know these facts
feel doubly hattered when they dis
cover that their engagement ring is
to be bought at the store of Bailey,
Banks & Biddle Company, and the
man who wishes to give his fiancee
the very best diamond that he can
buy chooses the Polished Girdle Dia-
mond. 1t is eXquisitely mounted in
platinum or gold, either singly or

VERY housewife with up-to-

- ing has considered the posi-
bility of investing in an electric
washing machine. And when she
.urns to the consideration of the
most economical machine the Laun-
dry-ette comes in for its share of at
tcntion. The chief feature of the
I.aun-dry-ette is the elimination Of
the necessity of wringing the clothes.
The washing is done by the vacuum
cup process. and then, instead of
putting eNrn piece separately
through wringer one simply
presses down foot pedal, thus rails
ing the tnside tub, which. revolving,
dries the clothes wringer-dry in
