tTvHE late Herman. G. G. Luyties lies
in his grave in BelIefontaine Gene

terry in SC. Louis. and aboy

size figure in marble Of . pretty girl
Mr.. Luyties very largely devote
time and money to the pursuit of
the feminine form beautiful, and in
death It was his desire to feel that
near him always would be the
figure of an attractive young
woman.
Mr.. Luyties was q millionaire
manufacture Of toilet preparations,
and few men have crowded into one
life so many memories of one adj
venture after another, one mad in
fatuation following the last. His
pursuit of feminine loneliness took
him more or less all over the world,
and as he realized that his span Of
life was drawing Co close he did
the most dramatic thing of his pic
turesque career.
It was while he was in Italy not
long before his death, ii his usual
pursuit Of feminine adventures, that
he made the acquaintance Of .
young italian girl.
She is undoubtedly the prettiest
girl I ever saw exclaimed Luyties,
enraptured, "and / have seen, as
many as / possibly could. II she
cannot be mine in life / win make
her mine in death. So, long as mar
bic withstands the assaults Of time
this perfect bunch Of feminlpity
shall stand close to me above my
grave"
!. So Mr.. Luyties, after trying all
sorts Of ways to acquire the girl
herself, engaged the services Of .
famous sculptor in Genoa and paid
the girl literally to pose for the
sculptor until he had carved in.
Carrara marble an exquisite like ess
Of the face and generous form
which Luyties declared fulfilled his
uttermost dream Of enchantment.
In due time the big statue arrived
in st. Louis and Luyties set about
preparing a proper architectural
drawing for its pedestal and q little
sort of chapel to protect it from the
weather.
The gay old millionaire moved the
statue into his residence, where he
could look at her lovely arms folded
over her lovely bosom, those lovely
limbs crossed in modest conceal
ment of cold marble drapery: And
there she stood, eleven feet tall,
Luyties's fondest dream of fair
women-the symbol of all that had

Engaged 40 Years Ago.
Nearly forty years ago Brown and
Miss Thompson were engaged to be
married, but Brown was then poor und
his suit was frowned upon by members
of her family. Under this pressure she
broke the engagement and Brown left
this city. He found another sweet
heart and married her. On the day Of

Miss Thompson. in which she declared
that she would wed him If the whole
world stood in the way and that her
love for him was stronger than a sea

When she heard the news Miss
Thompson determined never to wed,
and turned to business life. Her
brother was then one of the big Off
cials of the Burlington railroad and
owned a string of eating houses. After
serving her apprenticeship in the busi-
ness she became the manager of these
railroad restaurants and operated
them for years until his growing for

his revenue, and he sold out.
Miss Thompson then devoted her at

when the Lincolnshire, fashionable
tearoom, got into financial difficulties
she was persuaded TO take over the

she was free again.

by Champain to accompany Huron
advance party bound fol the sources
OF the Susquehanna to secure aid from
the tribes there in the raid on the
Iroquois. He preceded Champlain over
the Lake Ontario route and returned
with the Indian allies to Oneida lake.
He arrived too late for the battle,
found the Hurons in retreat and re-
turned home with his allies, to follow
the Susquehanna to its mouth at
Havre de Grace on Chesapeake bay.
SO presumably Brule was the first
white man to see Lake Ontario and to
travel overland to Chesapeake.
Father Sagard wrote the details of
Brule's return from the Indians of the
Susquehanna. He was captured by
the ,Iroquois. In stripping him for the
stake they seized upon his Agnus Del.
"If you touch It," he warned them.
"you and all your tribe will die"
Just then a thunderstorm threat
ened Brule pointed to the black
clouds as a sign of the anger Of his
God. The Iroquois fed, but returned
to pay him high honor and set him
on his way home.
In the meantime Quebec had fallen
into dire straits. The French had dis
patched a supply squadron In 1928
which had been captured by Admiral
Kirk and an English feet. Kirk had
then demanded the surrender Of Que
bee, which Champlain had refused.
In 1929 Kirk returned and French
pilot guided three ships up the river to
Quebec, which promptly surrendered.
That pilot was Brule. He was exc
Grated as a traitor by some. but had
his apologists, inasmuch as the Quebec
garrison had been reduced to 10 men
and the women and children were
grubbing for roots.
Nevertheless Brule, when the treaty
of 1882 gave Quebec back to France,
left and went back to live with the
HurOns.

Champlain usually speaks Of Brule's
services as those of lone of my young
men" Nevertheless, his third work,
which covers the period 16l5-19. con-
tains Brule's narrative of his travels
among the savages south to Chesa-
peake bay and in his writings about
1852 there is a passage which states
that Brule was "fort vicieu & adonne
aux femmes." He also says that 1T
was bad example to send persons OF
such bad morals as the interpreter
Brule among the Indians, Such
characters ought to have been severely
chastised."
Samuel de Champlain was the ruling
spirit and prominent figure in French
exploration and colonization in the
New World from 1908 to 1885. AS ge-
ographer of the king, under Sieur de
Monts, he explored the Atlantic coast
/ south TO Massachusetts bay at time
when there was no settlement between
Newfoundland and Mexico. Then on
HIS third expedition he founded Quebec
(16OS). 1t was the dream of France
to discover q new passage by water to
Asia and the wealth of Ormus and
Ind"
So Champlain was a keen explorer.
In 1909 he discovered and gave his
name 10 Lake Champlain. In 1915 he
induced the Hurons to take him to
Lake Huron; in return he agreed to
head an expedition against the Iro-
quols Confederacy In central New
| York. The Hurons took him to Geor-
gian bay. Thereupon Champlain and
the Indians set out on their raid.
They crossed Lake Ontario just where
II empties into the st. Lawrence; two
conjectural routes are shown by the
dotted lines In the map. Champlain
fought an indecisive battle with the
Iroquois ut Oneida lake and was
wounded. He withdrew his forces and
arrived at Quebec after an absence Of
nearly a year. Then he left on visit
to France.
Brule, it appears, was born in 1892
and at sixteen went as a servant with
Champlain to Quebec. He left Cham
plain in 1910 to live with the Hurons.
1t was during this time that 1t is be-
lieved that he was taken by the In
dians to Lake Huron over the route
followed by Champlaln in 1615-the
tribal thoroughfare up the Ottawa,
across Lake Nipissing and down the
/. French river.
Anyway, the Recollet Friar Sagard
made record Of the fact that Brule
told him of vast mines of native cop
per known to the Indians. Father
Sagard also wrote:
"The interpreter Brule with some
savages assured us that beyond the
| fresh sea Lake Huron] there Is an
other large lake which empties into
this one by a waterfall named the Sau
de CASTOR, being nearly two leagues
! wide, which lake with the fresh Sc,
continues about thirty days journe,
