arm at that funeral Of which he
was able to recount many inter-
esting historical incidents.
In 1924, the honored veteran was
appointed an aide on the staff Of
the national commander of the G..
A. r.

PORTAGE LAD
RETURNS HOME

Portage. Harry Walker, IA,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. d. Walker,
500 East Canal street, abandoned
a life OF adventure and freedom to
come back home to his parents in
Portage.
Harry disappeared from the CEN
trail school grounds early Monday
morning. He did not go into
school, but just casually decided he
would yield to the train siren and
head toward Milwaukee. He did
MT bother to persuade anyone to
accompany him; the adventure was
to be solitary one. Harry found
a freight Milwaukee bound and pro-
ceeded to board it. In due time he
reached the city. OF his further
adventures, beyond the fact that
brewery roof was his haven for
the night, he says little.
After a night spent on a roof ha-
wing had but one meal in twenty
four or more hours. things are apt
to appear in different light to a
fourteen year old boy. Home is
more attractive, and adventure
something to be postponed to bet
ter day. Harry was homesick, and
as soon as he could get back he
did And he says he is going to
stay in Portage with his mother for
some time to come.
He is now back in school.

ART SUBJECTS
BEFORE CLUB
Two Papers Are Given
Before FOrtnightly
Literary Members
Friday Night

In discussing Some American
Painters" at the regular meeting
of the Fortnigltly Literary club oD
Friday night at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. C. H. Williams, the host
ess stated that art should be an
essential part of all education.
Mrs Williams discussed the
question through the three phases
Of art growth in America: colon
ial, provincial and cosmopolitan.
American art really began with
the two pictures at Harvard which
furnished the inspiration for the
first group of painters.
In discussing the various paint
ers the following were mentioned:
John Trumbull, Copley, Wilson,
Peale, Alliston, Stuart, King, Wal
do, and others.
From galleries in Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, and other plac
es, exhibits may now be seen in
all the large cities of the country.
AS to the place of America in
art. Mrs. Williams said that the
United States is the youngest of
the great nations Of the world,
hence the development of this
branch Of human advancement has
been short and has not yet reached
completion.
Tt took but few decades to give
to Paris the character it now has
and with the exception of few
important buildings most Of the
city which the tourist admires to-
day is less than a half century old,
and in another half century we
shall have a dozen cities able to
lavish greater sums than the Bar
on Haussman had at his disposal.
The third quarter of the last
century was the golden age of art
in America, the speaker declared
John SINGER Sargent
Mrs. H. E. Cole discussed John
Singer Sargent, born in Florence,
Italy. in 1856, and died in London
last April. Born in an art center
he early showed an inclination in
that direction and became one OF
the worlds famous painters. In
America he painted many portraits
and some of hts mural productions
may be seen in the Boston Public
library and elsewhere.
His most noted picture in this
part Of the country is the portrait
of Governor Lucius Fairchild,
Madison. THIS was painted IN
Massachusetts and was given by
the G.. A. r. to the retiring COM
mander. Recently it was present
ed by his daughter to the State
Historical society. 1t has been
sent to Boston to be exhibited and
something of it's value may be real
lied when it is stated the insur-
ance on the shipment was $4,000
During the past summer there
was a sale of Sargent drawings
and paintings in London whic
brought about three quarters of a

bridge. The house long ago dis
appeared and another has taken
it's place.
Walked to Baraboo
Col Ableman drove to Milwau-
kee and brought the Muster family
to his pioneer home. He made no
charge and kept the family in his
home until a shelter could be pro-
vided. The first house built for
the Musters had no floor, often the
case in the early days.
There were no stoves in the
early log houses, the cooking be-
ing done before an open fire. Plain
living was the rule at that time.
The Muster family frequently
walked to Baraboo, the father car
rying a sack of flour on his back on
the romeward jourdey. There
was no road, just blazed trail.
When they came by team whole
day was set apart for the journey.
Plenty Of Indians
In those days there were plenty
of Indians and Col. Ableman as well
as the Musters were good to them.
Something to eat made a friend of
an Indian.
The First Wedding
The first wedding in the village
was that of William Weidman and
Hannah Muster, the bride a sister
of Mrs. Warren.
Mrs. Mary Muster the mother of
Mrs. Warren, lived to be "a years
old. Full of spirit, active for her
years, Mrs Warren bids fair to
span century or more.
A picture of Col Alderman hangs
in the railway station at Ableman.
He was a man of action.

After ie, months of intensive war fare in France, French relinqulshed command of the British forces 10 Field Marshal Haig and returned to England. He was created A yiscount and made eommander-in- chief Of the troops in the United Kingdom, post he held until 1918. Then he was made Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and served until April 30, 1921, when the Home Rule Partition Act took effect and Viscount Fitzalan became viceroy. On December l9, 1919, while motoring through Ire- land an attempt was made to as- sassinate the lord lieutenant. His party was fired upon from ambush, but French escaped injury.
 Upon retirement as lord lieuten- ant of Ireland, French was created an earl by King George. His new honor was not gazetted for nearly year afterward, when 1t was official ly announced that he had elected to be known as the Earl of Ypes after the place of his great victory in the war. Some surprise was occasioned by his title selection. 1t being quite unusual 10 take the name of for elgn place for a title, only few of such examples appearing in the British records.
 The Earl of Ypres, John Denton Pinkstone French. was the son of a captain Of the royal navy and was born September 2S, 1858, at Ripple, Kent. He joined II. NJ. s. Britannia in 1866 and was a naval cadet and midshipman four years. He entered the army in 1874.
 The earl was an ardent admirer and studeat of Napoleon whom he, regarded as the greatest strategist the world has ever known. In fol- lowing closely Napoleon's campaigns he had covered much of the very ground in Belgium, where years later he WI sealed upon to combat as for midable foe as the Little Corporal ever faced. French's knowledge of Belgian soil was said to have been an enormous help 10 him. And this, some insisted, was another bit of French luck.
 In 1880 the earl married EIeanora, daughter of R. w. Selgy- Lowndes.
