making devices. Murgel came home in
a car.
When seen by reporter at his home,
Mr.. Murgel made light of his escapade
and stated that he was feeling fine with
the exception of the frozen toes and
that his appetite was good and also
that he was unable to sleep in his bed
the first night, having somewhat gotten
out of the notion of sleeping and eating
during the three nights and four days
in the woods. He also stated that the
piece of liver was frozen solid in his
pocket and that he had to carry it all
the time he was in the forest. He was
in jovial mood while relating his
experience but his story was one of
bravery in the face of the hardships
of three nights and four days without
eating or sleeping in below freezing
weather all the time. Being a man of
medium build, rather thin, his story
also proved that head work won out
over difficulties with which physical
stature alone had no power to cope
Using his head and feet all the time
saved his life.
The man was not dressed for such an
ordeal. He had left the camp for only
short stay in a shirt, sweater and
jacket, light pair of mitts, two pair
of overall trousers, two pair of sox,
rubbers and cap. Wonder has been
expressed that he ever came out alive
as it was the impression that ne would
lay down to rest and freeze.
His hunting party spent Wednesday
in search for him and then came in
and gave the alarm. Thursday a small
crew was sent out without results. Fri
day crew of thirty men under COM
mand of the game wardens secured
the woods In the meantime Murgel
had made his way to the camp.

DO Tower, the large number arriving
after the banquet in time for the meet
ing that followed. Mrs. B. o. Strachan
sang a selection of solos.
The Ely members put on the initia-
tory degree for the Grand Matron and
were highly complimented for their
work. The Grand Matron was officially
introduced by Mrs. Bell Of the Tower
lodge as was also Mrs. p. Schaefer as
a past grand officer. In turn the past
Matrons and past Patrons were intro
duced after which introductions fol-
lowed for the present Matrons and
Patrons.
All who attended report a most
pleasant and instructive evening.

for a license at a day and fare
to Virginia. Your prospective
bride may not be of age and it
will be necessary to take both
her father and mother also
when you apply for license.
Then you wait five days and
make another trip for the docu-
ment emitting you to get
married. The county saves So
a month and you spend 500 or
more, besides the fee of 1925
to the clerk.
Sure, the county must re-
trench. So a month amounts
to $50 a year and in the next
ten years this would be $3.50
for Ely alone. This will be a
considerable drop to help out
on the over a million overdraft
in the poor fund besides help
ing out the Seventh district
overdraft. Something must be
done to cut down expenses and
$50 a year is not to be sneeZed
at. The deputy license clerks
were getting altogether too fat
in their work of accommodation
for which they were being paid
about Is cents an hour and
were at the beck and call of
those desiring to get married,
day and night. Yah, but we
got to save money!!

OLD LEE HOMESTEAD
IS BEING RESTORED

two signers of the Declaration Of In
dependence, Richard Henry Lee and
Francis Lightfoot Lee, as well as the
home Of Light Horse Harry" Lee and
other generations of the distinguished
family.
It stands on a hillock not far re-
moved from the Potomac In a section
Of the Northern Neck which the old
er generation Of virginians especially
looks upon as hallowed ground. The
estate fronts for two miles on the riv-
err and within few miles are the
birthplaces Of three Presidents-Wash-
ington, Madison and Monroe.
The house itself, built In the shape
Of the letter II, is two stories in height,
with tall basement forming the first
floor, and is topped by massive quad
ripple chimneys on each wing. It was
started In 1923 by Queen Caroline,
wife Of George II Of England, with
gift of 1900 toward the cost of its erec-
ton following. fire which destroyed
the original manor house, on the site
of which now Is located the Lee fam
lily burial plot.
The House Well Preserved.
The mansion, in fine state of pres
ervation, Is built Of brick on English
lines by English standards, with walls
Of fortress thickness, and was known
as the stateliest house Of its time In
Colonial Virginia.
In restoring the plantation with It's
Colonial atmosphere and Its arts and
Industries as pursued two centuries
ago, the old brick and saw mill, now
in ruins, will be rebuilt and placed in
operation. Spinning, weaving and
wrought-iron craftsmanship will be
practiced for the enlightenment Of
visitors and students. The tobacco
warehouse will be reconstructed, and
scenes Of the old planting season re-
vived. The old kitchen, with Its -
foot fireplace. will be fired again, and
the tall brick wall again will hide the
culinary operations from alien eyes.
The Garden Clubs of Virginia will
complete the restoration picture with
landscaping, terraces, flowers and rare
shrubs such as once were the pride
Of the Lees and the delight. of their
many distinguished guests.

Will Revive Life and Culture
81 Old South.

w Nv Il
Richmond, Va. - Stratford Hall,
homestead Of the Lee family in Vir-
ginia, center Of historical interest
and symbol Of the life and culture
Of the Old South, has been saved for
posterity. Through the efforts Of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy
and the Lee Memorial foundation the
mortgage on the observation-disclosures
estate In Westmoreland county has
been paid Off and the last obstacle to
the preservation Of the mansion as
national shrine has been removed, says
the New York Times.
There remains now the work Of rem
ovatfng the fine old house and restor-
ing the extensive grounds which for
merly made 1t one Of the show places
Of the state, and this work will pro-
coed as funds for the purpose are
made available. Within reasonably
short time plantation life of the Eight
zenith century will be resumed there
in all its picturesque phases. .

Chapter Of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy, while rummaging
through a desk which belonged to her
nIother-in-law. Mrs. Sidney Lanier.
widow Of the poet, came upon a pen
ciied manuscript by Lanier, until then
not known to exist.
A Speech on Lees Death.
The paper proved. to be speech he
had made In Macon. Ga. in 1870, on
the death Of General Lee, In which he
urged the establishment Of a memorial
"by' contributions as shall be within
the compass Of the humblest citizen
who loved him and who desires the
grateful privilege of laying some trib-
ute on his tomb"
On the following day Mrs. Lanier re-
ceived letter from a friend describ-
ing a visit to Stratford and. asking
why It could not be preserved. On the
same morning she called meeting
OF her organization, which resulted In
the adoption Of resolutions looking to
the acquisition of the homestead.
After months Of negotiations ar
rangements were made with Charles
&c. Stuart, the owner. for its purchase,
and the Robert E. Lee Memorial foun-
dalton was formed to acquire the prop
erty and conduct campaign for con-
tributions in all parts Of the country.
The price was fixed at $4,000. The
mortgage was cleared away by an I'M
conditional advance Of $4,000 by
prominent Delaware woman.
