he was taken i'll. suffering first a
chill, and failing rapidly. Their
daughter Muriel, employed in Provi-

father died, she not having been sent

1t is simply marvellous how

in overcoming chronic troubles,
like Constipation, Dyspepsia and
Rheumatism.
The juices of apples, oranges,
figs and prunes-intensifed and
combined with tonics-are made into
small tablets called "Fruit-a- tives",
which have proven the marvels of
the medical world for many diseases.
For instance, Mr.. James a. Shell,

The Perfect Servant.

From the Youths Companion.
1t seems to us that the perfect
servant-from theetheoretical point of
yiew-has been identified. AS . mat
ter of fact he would have been more
satisfactory seven to his master IL he
had been less perfect and a little
more human.
Dickens used to tell = story OF his
biographer, John Forster. Forster
had 4 devoted and skillful servant,
Henry. who was always most correct
in everything he did. 1t was there
fore astonishing one night when
Forster was entertaining several
writer's at dinner to see the scrupu-
lous Henry make error after error. He
upset a plate of soup, and Forster ut
tered 4 cry of alarm. He forgot to
serve the sauce for the fish, and his
master said, why, Henry!'
Altogether he made the excellent
dinner seem a slovenly and poor re-
past When at the end of 1t he leaned
over Forster's chair and said in a
tremendous voice.: "Piease, Sir, can
you spare me now7 My house has
been on IRE for the last two hourk"

BOONE. Iowa, September 13.-The
recent visit to his birthplace here by
Curtis d. Wilbur, Secretary of the
Navy, served among other things to
reveal the Secretary is an ardent stu :
tremely large family and his arces-
tors on both maternal and paternal
sides are buried or still living in
nearly every section Of tho United
States.
On an automobile trip from Des
Moines to Boone Secretary Wilbur
told members OF his party he became
interested in his family lineage while
chief justice of the Supreme Court
of California. He carried this inter
est to Washington and during his
leisure hours scanned the volumes
of the Congressional Library for fur
ther information of his ancestors.
His ancestors. the Wilbur and
Langley families, were of early Colo
nial stock and both migrated west
ward from time to time, some of
them settling first in Ohio, then in
Iowa, South Dakota and Montana,
and finally pushing westward to the
Pacific States
The Secretary told how. when he
was in Vermont recently, he had
visited the graves of some of his
relatives and then, upon reaching Des
Moines. he found an uncle, Zangwell
Langley, was buried there. He has
relatives living In Boone and Mar
shalltown and it was at his aunt's
home here that he stayed during his
visit.
During his visit the Secretary went
over every part of the town where he
roamed when a boy. The maple tree
in which he played he found still
standing, but the house in which he
was born is gone.

NORWEGIAN WRITER'S FAME.
Historical Novel by Sigrid Undset
Considered q Masterpiece.

Charles e. strangland in the Atlantic Monthly.
Two names sstand out as pre-
eminent among the writer's OF today
in Scandin avia-Knut Hamsun and
Sigrid Undset, both Norwegians.
Their personalities and styles are
Numerically opposed. Hamsun's rep
utation has increased by leaps and
bounds during the last fifteen years,
and his is one of the few Scandi-
navian literary names known in the
United States Sigrid Undset arrived
at fame through a monumental work
which promises to give her such i'm
mortality as Scandinavian may
hope for.
This work is an historical novel
entitled "kristin Lavransdatter," In
three large volumes, written with all
of mans advantages, though the
author is a woman. The work de-
scribes the love of a man and 4 wom-
an for one another, and that still
greater love of a mother for her
children. The humanity of the work
is so real and deep, it's feeling so
genuine, its art so perfected, that it
will yet have q circulation rivaling
that of Hans Christian Andersen.
The work was written during the
war and just after its end; it's his
torical bases are admirable and cor
self liSi nk at the time described
and a hundred years from today
readers will still find it so.
The war has had very slight influ-
ence on real literature in these
countries, fortunately. Present ten
dencies are rather remote from the
earlier Fart pour Fart, and this is no
doubt due in part to translations of
American novels, with their tradi-
tions of swift and exciting action
Such translations in cheap editions
have been overrunning the Scandi-
navian book markets, especially since
the end Of the war.

FASHION MANNEQUINS
TURN TO MOTOR CYCLES
Smartly Attired Young Women
Must Be Expert in
Guiding Motors.
From the London Mail.


The great interest which modern
woman is taking in motor cycling
| briugs in its train q new career
that of the motor cycle manneQuin.
| Already these mannequins are to be
seen in the shopping centers of the
West End, on the parades Of the
various seaside resorts and at the
| meetings of motor cycling enthusi-
| asts. They are light-hearted, skill
full and smart-looking sisterhood. and
to them must undoubtedly be ascribed
much of the popularity which the
! motor cycle is now enjoying among
the energetic womanhood of the day
The motor cycle manneQuin's job is
by no means an easy one. Her duties
are as numerous as the outfits which
she Is asked to display. She may be
employed by firm to demonstrate a
new type of mount specially con-
structed for women. A clothing firm
will possible enter into the scheme
and provide her with the various out
fits which they wish to have ad-
vertised.
Daintily dressed, she must be capa-
BILE of riding her mount in as attrac-
tive a manner as possible. whatever
the condition of the road surface. AS
her work takes her abroad in all
weathers, there are always the possi-
bilities Of skids and swerves on
greasy roads. These she must be
able to negotiate without drawing
undue attention to herself, and with
out causing any spatters Of mud to
fly up on to her display clothing.
In the course Of a week she may be
asked to undertake mock shopping
expeditions in Bond street and Oxford
street. She must therefore be an ex-
pert enough driver to be able to nego-
tiate traffic not only in the approved
and lawful manner. but ever with an
eye on her appearance and the effect
which she creates 1t is not always
easy to make q graceful start after q
traffic hold-up, and ugly footwork is
a pitfall which tho experienced man.
nequin instinctively avoids.
Then she may have to spend Q day
at Brooklands or attend hill-climbing
contests, and even on these compare
lively long distance runs she must be
just as careful of her appearance.
Her work does not end here, either.
She must learn the mechanism of her
mount and be able to answer ques-
tions and discuss points with inter-
ested onlookers.

Ne,u Orleans Plans to Celebrate
Anniversary of Freedom Battle

Of the land declare that you are, of

League and other organizations as
sembled at various meeting places as
had been requested. Later in the day
Gen. Fred N. Ogden, who had taken
command of the White League forces,
formed "a defensive line of battle on
Poydras street--my right resting on
the levee, my left on Caronde1et
street with the intention of throwing
the city into 4 military camp for the
purposes of thoroughly organizing
the State forces" according to his
official report of the fight.
AT AIS pm. the forces OF the
government the citizens had de-
termined to oust opened fire on
them. For hours the battle ragged in
the streets, cannon, gatling guns and
other weapons being brought into
play. The citizens lost altogether
IL dead and 13 wounded, OF whom
several died later. 1t was never de-
termined what their opponents cas-
ualties were, but, according to Gen.
Ogden's report, ''the enemy's loss
must have been heavy from the
number OF dead and wounded left by
them on the field. Their chief. Gen.
A. S. Badger, fell into our hands,
severely wounded"

Special Dispa tch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HEREFORD, Tex, September Ia
When the commissioners court of
this county offered bounty Of 10
cents a head for all Jack rabbits killed
within the limits of the county, 1t
was thought only q few hundred dol
lars would be required to pay for tho
dead animals. To the astonishment
of member Of the board. 1000 jack
rabbits were brought in in one day,
and within a period OF little more
than q month more than 10000 VIC
Tins Of the chase were delivered at
the courthouse and the bounty paid
on them.
While in most instances only the
ears of the jack rabbits were brought
in, there were also so many carcasses
piled into the county clerks office
that they took up much Of the avail
able space. After the disaEreeable
work Of counting them had been nm
ished they were taken into the engine
room Of the building and burned.
Cattlemen, cowboys, farmers and
many people OF other vocations took
part in the jack rabbit drives and
hunts. The bounty was offered be-
cause the pestiferous lonE-eared ami
mails were so numerous as to cause
great destruction to growing crops
and grass.

FEWER LIGHTNING RODS.
Research in 1905 Indicated q Fail
ure to Protect.
from the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
From the time Benjamin Franklin
invented the lightning rod, in 1852,
until the dawn of the twentieth CEN
tury the Nation, the world, had an
implicit faith in the ability of the
lightning rod to ward off the bolts OF
lightning. The death of the lightning
rod came with the report of light
ming research committee in 1905,
which showed many failures of con-
ductors to protect the houses from
the bolts of electricity.
There have been frequent discus
sions in scientific periodicals relative
to the proba BILE date of the invention
OF the lightning rod by Franklin. In
A. letter to Peter Collinson, dated July
20, 1850, Franklin proposed to. test
the electricity of thunder clouds and
suggested the possibility Of the light
ming rod. In September, 1853. 1t Is
recorded that he erected on his house
an insulated rod, connected at the
lower end with a pair of bells, whicb
"a, ringing would show when the
rod was electrified.
April II. 1853. he entered note
in his journal that he had charged
a. I,eyden jar from this rod. A file
of the Pennsylvania Gazette for the
wear of 1852 shows that the lightning
rod was in use at the time Franklin
made his famous electrical kite ex-
ueriment. This same year he out
lined directions for erecting lightning
rods and published them the follow
.-Z -ear in Poor Richards Almanac.
