SKULL FRACTURE
CAUSED Death.
Mrs. Eric Larson Died at Her Home on
South Second Street Yesterday
Afternoon AZ Result Of
Accident.
WAS BORN IN SWEDEN
Was a Member OF Observation-Disclosures
Church and Well Known and
Liked BY Large Number
Of Friends.

Yesterday afternoon at one O'Clock
at the family residence, No. 400 South
Second street, occurred the death of
Mrs. Eric Larson, one Of the older and
well known residents of this city.
The death Of Mrs. Larson was due to-
an accident which befell her at her
nome about nine weeks ago, she hav-
ing fallen in a fainting spell and II
an inexplainable manner, fractured her
skull. No one was present at the
time Of the accident and Mrs. Larson
was unable to tell in what manner she
had .,een injured, except that she had
struck her. head against something
that had caused fracture Of the skull.
The injury to her skull mended but
she never fully recovered the shock
and death yesterday was thought to
be due to the accident which occurred
a little over two months ago.
Born In Sweden.
Mrs. Larson was born in Arhula,
JJllared. a province of Sweden on
June 80, 1874, and came to this coun-
try at the age Of twenty-seven years,
coming directly to Keokuk where she
had resided ever since.
She was married in the year 1872
to Eric Larson and to this union four
children were born, all Of whom sur.
yive her. They are; Mrs. G. A. Mel
son, Misses Olivia and Anna and Ar
thur Nelson, all of whom reside in this
city.
The deceased was a consistent mem
Der Of the Swedish Methodist church
Of this city and was one of the fore
most members of that organization. Flu
neral arrangements will be made later

drinking coffee and drink Postum in
Its place as he and his family had
used Postum and found it powerful

I hesitated for time, disliking the
idea Of having to give up my coffee
but finally got a package and found
IT to be all the doctor said:

TAKE LIFE LIKE A MAN.

It is a pitiable thing to see a young man whining over his lot in life and excusing indifference and inaction because of hard luck or some cruel fate which has put stum- bling blocks in his way.
 No matter what your environ ment or what you may be called upon to go through, face life like a man, without whining. Turn your face to the sun, your back to the shadows, and look the world in the face without wincing. Make the most of your situation. See the beauties in it and not the ugly fea- lures. This is the way to improve an unfortunate environment.-From Success Magazine.
The log cabin Democrat., 1909-07-23
LOOK FOR THE HUMOR.

If you have a good, sound, per fectly healthy laugh tucked up your sleeve, it doesn't particularly matter how crazily the world goes round. The most tragic moment usually has a second or two of humor. Some day, when humanity is enlightened, all troubles will be adjusted with a smile. One would think the indi- yidual of most amazing account, con- sidering the tremendous amount of consideration we give our own af- fairs. Be like the canary bird. When he is happy he sings, when he is wretched he keeps still. We can learn a great deal from those who don't know anything.

THE ROSE OF NEW ENGLAND.
Right of That City to the Flat tering AppelIation.

This is the year in which to for ever settle who first called Norwich "the Rose of New England" ]" It was first put in the public eye to stay when it was inscribed on beautiful arch on Broadway in 1859, at the time of the towns bicentennlal annl- versary. Since none of the speakers of that time use the sobrlquet, 1t IS fair to presume that it was new. Henry Ward Beecher has been ac- credited with originating the nick name which stuck. The rose was Beecher's favorite flower, and a story has been told of his paying so much attention to a favorlte rose that Mrs. Beecher in a jealous mo- ment cut it off and threw 1t away. He did not so call 1t because of the popularity of rose culture here, but it was his ideal rural New Eng land city; 1t took his fancy as the rose had taken it long before. It is told of him that when he stood beneath the Lorenzo Dow elm, at Norwich town, he emotionally embraced the great tree and exclaimed: ''It seems as if 1 should call thee brother" Henry Ward Beecher was capable of seeing here "the Rose of New Eng land," and we all recognize the beauty and fitness of the name.- Norwich Bulletin.

WHEN THE EXPERT TESTIFlES.

 "ls the prisoner sane"
 "He is."
 "What particular thing determines your decision :"
 '"The size and source of the fee, of course. You must be a novice" No extraneous comment, please. Do alienists ever lie under oath?" "Those of the other side, yes, al- ways"
 But supposing you had been re- tained by the other side 2"
 In that case this side would have become the other side"
 And you say the prisoner is sane"
 No, insane; crazy as a hare, an imbecile from the cradle"
