Daughter Brought Here.

Rose, the ten year old daughter, was
also brought back to Kenosha. A fam
lily on Exchange street opened it's home
to her and she will be kept there until
other arrangements are made to pro-
vide suitable permanent home for the
child.
1t was planned to take Stasewicz
into court today to arraign him on a
charge of wife abandonment. Con-
viction on this charge would carry a
prison sentence.
Detective McCluskey learned also at
Milwaukee that Philip Rizzo, who for
merly lived in Kenosha, had been con-
victed ofsforgery there and had been
sentenced to a two-year term in the
state penitentiary. Rizzo several
years ago was sentenced to short
term here on a burglary charge.

Tip from Higher Up Names
Some Men Being Con-
sidered for job.
CARLSON IN THE LEAD
Charles Carlson, T. S. Scott,
J. Alexander, Sheriff Rauen
Are All Mentioned.

Political bees started buzzing in Ke-
nosha this morning, when what APP
peared to be "hot tip" from one close
to government officials indicated some
of the men who are being considered as
possibilities for Kenosha's next post
master A Kenoshan, vel known in
poliaical circles, had a heart-to-heart
talk with a man who claims to be "on
the inside" and who was, willing to ad-
vance his information regarding the
situation.
This tip declared that at the present
time the leading candidate for the ap-
pointment is Justice Charles Carlson,
who during the recent election was
chairman of the Kenosha County Re-
publican committee. He has long been
affiliated with the LoFollette- Blaine
faction, and it is admitted that this
fact is featuring largely in his being
groomed for the Office.
Others Likewise Groomed
There are others also being groomed
for the Office, which is admittedly the
political plum of Kenosha. County
Treasurer T. S. Scott, for many years
chairman of the Republican committee
of Kenosha county, who has served
efficiently as treasurer, is being sug-
gested by his friends. Sheriff William
Rauen is also one of those prominently
mentioned es"sfnss .,7 Ma ST 2t@z of
Among the dark horses is John D.
Alexander, former army captain, who
led Company M to war, and whose can
didacy is declared to be looked upon
with much favor by officials. Another
dark horse candidate is Louis Hans
mann.

WIFE DESERTER
LANDED IN JAIL
Joe Stasewicz Arrested at
Milwaukee and Brought
Back Here.
DAUGHTER ALSO FOUND

The three week search which the
police of Kenosha and Milwaukee have
been making fog Joseph Stasewicz,
Kenoshan who formerly lived at 4SO
Wisconsin street and who deserted his
wife and three children here, was ended
Saturday evening when the latter was
arrested in Milwaukee and held for
Kenosha officials. Detective McClus-
key later went to Milwaukee and
brought Stasewicz back to Kenosha to
face charges of wife abandonment. 1t
is the second time within a year that
Stasewicz has left his family in desti-
tute circumstances.
The Stasewiczs had been living with
the Serge Poluchek family on Wiscon-
sin street. Poluchek, who has been
convicted several times as a moon
sinner, had sought in vain several times
to be allowed to take Rose Stasewicz, a
nine year old girl, and adopt her.
Then All Disappear.
One day, about four weeks ago, Mrs.
Stasewicz, who has since been adjudi-
Gated feebleminded, was found with her
three teeblem1nded children at the
home on Wisconsin street. They had
no food nor fuel and had to be cared
for by the poor commissioner. She
declared that her husband had left
with the Polucheks and had taken Rose
with him. The only solution that
could be found for the tangle was to
send the deserted wife and three child
rem to the home for the feebleminded
at Chippewa Falls.
Stasewicz when arrested showed lit
tie concern regarding the family
which he had deserted. He was told
that they had been sent to an institu-
tion and seemed pleased to hear that
some way had been found to provide
for them. 1t is said that he has been
working in Milwaukee. He had made
no attempt to communicate with his
wife.

THE opTIMIsT
TIE MAIL MAN

THE OPTIMIsT
John Merryweather
/ Had no more cause to bless his lot
/ Than any other average man,
For every day he had a cross to bear
And oftentimes a heavy one.
/ But each new day he met his task
All patiently.
| He never wavered;
When fluctuations came to him,
/ He never faltered;
He always lent a helping hand
To weary brother.
If someone whispered words of doubt
About another,
John always smiled;
/ Then slowly he would shake his head
And say there must be some mistake.
For he had always found this man
To be like any other human.
For John told them we all had faults.
Twas not our task to Judge men.
And with word of confidence
John went his way.
And men would pause and marvel
At faith he had in human kind.
But somehow they all loved him.
In all his life no man had heard him
Undermine a brother.
Ans when his fellow workmen raved
And cursed their lot,
And said the world was heading for
Eternal damnation,
John raised his hand and said: my
friends,
This world Is full of gladness
If we will pause and look for It;
Though some days seem quite bleak
and drear,
You'n find some heaven in It,"
And sometimes when all hope had
fled
From weary plodder.
John had pointed out the manly part,
And left him with stouter heart
To face the future.
So all through life he toiled and spun,
And welcomed victory when won,
Although twas msaGer.
He knew within his heart that men
Were ofttimes crring.
But some are weak. no often said.
1t IL our task TO show them.
No matter what their faults may be.
Why hold your hands in horror,
There may be dark spots In our lives
That friends y9ould Htart at knowing.
30 this his " to all through life:
Remember In iis vale Of strife.
n you can't Nblp.
Don't hinder.

NE VI IDEA STRUCK
BY MOBILE ARTIST
IN UNIQUE PASTELS.
Roderick D. Mackenzie, in
Garb of Coal Miner, I'm
mortaIizeS Industrial
Birmingham

Roderick d. Mackenzie has intro
duced a fourth new element dimen-
sion into patnting-heat. His pastels
of the Ensley steel plants, which are
being exhibited by the Little Art
Gallery, fairly radiate the intense
heat of the glowing ingots, the frey
flowing metal and the opened flam
ing furnace. Splintering sparks of
near molten metal have been placed
upon canvass with uncanny realism
by the artist.
There are 45 pastels of Mr.. Mac
kenzie being exhibited at the Little
Art Gallery by the Alabama Art
League. Some of them have been
seen in Birmingham before, but more
of them have recently been completed
by the artist. who has been living in
Fairfield four months. He lived the
life of a miner while working on his
drawings and paintings. While at
work internationally about the steel
plants he wore the overalls. flannel
shirt, and toreh-light cap of a miner.
One of the pastels being exhibited
in the gallery is OF himself in this
costume, with pipe in his mouth
from which there trlclles a wreath
of smoke.
A large pastel showing the con-
verters seen from the open hearth
is the favorite of the artist, who ex
plains that his preference is based
on the fact that, this picture is more
comprehensive of the whole steel
industry-in all its bigness and
strength-than any other The A
pastels that deal with the steel
plant show all the processes in the
manufacture of steel.
Mr.. MacKenzie's genre pictures of
the miners are simple, forceful and
realistic-some of the miners shown
at their posts and some of them in
their spare moments between Jobs.
Mr.. Mackenzie was born in Lon
don. England, and early came to
Mobile, Ala, where he now has
studio and classes in art. For twelve
years he lived in India, and in 1903
he was commissioned by the Indian
government to paint the ceremonial
at Delhi, known as Durbar, at which
the coronation of Edward VII as
King of England and Prince of India
was proclaimed
The durbar painting OF Mr.. Mac
Kenzie is of the state Entry"
showing the procession, preceded by
elephants. in which rode Lord and
Lady curzon and all the dignitaries
of the several states of India. The
painting of this gorgeous. oriental
scene consumed many months as the
artist Travelled over the entire coun-
cry securing native types for 1t,
1t now hangs In the possession OF the
Indian government at Calcutta.
Mr.. Mackenzie has received many
flattering compliments upon his pas
tells being shown at the Little Art
Gallery. A steady stream of visitors
constantly pass before the pictures
and expressions of appreciation are
many. Mr.. Mackenzie has placed
! Birmingham industry in art and has
done 1t effectively.
