In an interesting letter to the Banner, Mrs. Ella Kiser, says that she expects to leave Redando Beach, Cal April 3 and will reach Chicago on April 7, probably arriving in Ligonier on the same day. Describing a trip to Catalina Island, Mrs. Kiser writes, “T tpok a trip on the: glass hottomed boat, saw the submerged gardens and file wonderful mountains, the mountain goats and seal rock with its family of seals. The very largest of seals was at the highest point of the rock and the boat whistle blew to awaken them. Their queer cries were tremendous and the big seal kept it up until -all the others one after another slipped off into the water then he slid down and all was silence.” : . Business Metheds in P. 0. { Postmaster Gaby is in receipt of a statement by P. M. General Will Hayes, concerning the pariicipation of ‘the Senate and House committees In postoffice afafirs. Mr. Hayes’ idea .is ’that’i these committees should occupy ‘the same relation to the postal service as a board of directors to any. large business. In the same manner the Joint commission on Postal Service ‘would serve in the position of an ex‘ecutive committee participating in the largest way in all efforts to improve the service, The Joint Commission consists of five members from each house of Congress together with an ‘advisory council of seven citizens experienced in business and commercial affairs. = £ | | e — ' ' Decision Delayed A Year.

After the appraisal is made another six months will be required to digest it. The next date of hearing is set for April 18 at South Bend. I

GOETHE HERO OF ROMANCE

Minor Love Affair That Figured in the Life of Germany's Most Famous, : g Man of Letters. ;

Goethe, famous man Qf letters, once loved a pretty little wife of a middleaged merchant, Peter Anton Brentano, who sold cheese and herrings. o Goethe, always careless -of custom and tradition, went often_to the Brentano home. It did not take him long 1 to discover that the lovely Maximiliane’ was extremely unhappy, and he did what he could to make her smile, He romped with her step-children, and he played a bass viol at family concerts. .

Both were younger than Brentano, and both were palpably. bored by his merchant friends and their talk of sales and profits. ; : At first Brentano was delighted to have Goethe come to the- house. His visits made Maxfinjliane happy, and that pleased the husband, who had grieved when he saw his wife smile so seldom. But he grew suspicious. =He counseled Maximiliane to see Goethe less often, and there were violent scenes in the household. Goethe sided with the young wife, and continued to call frequently. Brentano could not conceal his wrath and his flaming jealousy. He upbraided ° thém, an%' there were “terrible moments.” Goethe finally rushed away lln anger from .the house, determined never to be embroiled in: such quarrels again. He plunged into the writing of “Werther,” and Maximiliane passed out of his life, : ’ -

BIRD THAT LOCKS ITS NEST

Central American Wren Takes Particular 'Care That Its Eggs Shall " . Not Be Harmed. :

. In Central America .are many -strange birds with stranger habits, but probably none is more interesting than a little brown wren which may be seen along the roadsides or on fences. This little %l'rd,' about the size of a canary, builds a nest out eof all pro--portion to its apparent needs. He selects a small tree with horizontal branches growing close together. Across two of the branches he lays sticks fastened together with tough fiber until a plutform about six feet long by two feet wide is constructed. On the end of this platform nearest the tree trunk he then builds a huge _dome-shaped nest a foot or so ‘high, with thick sides of interwoven thorns. A covered passageway is then made from the nest to ‘“tfle end of the platform in as crocked a manner as possible.. Across the outer end as well as at short intervals along the inside of this tunnel are placed cunning little fences of thorns, | with' just enough space for the owners to pass- through. On going out this opening is closed by the owner by placing thorns across the gateway, and -thus the safety of eggs or young is assured. W

Use for Fire-Killed Timber. Prejudice exists in certain quarters against the use of timber cut from dead trees, and some purchase specifleationseinsist that only timber cut from live trees will be acceptable. As a matter of fact when sound dead trees are sawed into lumber and the weathered or charred outside is cut away, there is no method known to the United States forest products laboratory by which the lumder can be :distin‘guished from that cut front live trees, except that the lumber from deadl trees may be partly seasoned sben sawed. All the ihformation -available at the laboratory indicates that timber -cut from insect or fire-killed trees is just as good.for any structural purpose as that cut from live trees of similar quality, providing the wood has not been subsequently injured by -decay or further insect attack. . 2

" Ben Franklin, Refom}er. Like many of us! today, Franklin was no, chu«thgoer, but firmly beHeved in the deslrability of other people’s - attendance at public worship. ‘ln the goodness of l:js.heart, however, he was desirous of making the Church of England’s morping service less onerous to the faithful. ' So, while representing the Colonies in England, he proceeded to abridge the Book of Common Prayer! He was assisted in the task by an Englgh crony, the once notorious Lord De Spencer. : : The whole episode reminds us ‘of the day when, as a small boy, he suggested to his astonished parent that much time and'troubre might be saved if grace were sald over the whole family pork-barrel at once.—Asa Pon Dickinson in the New York Times.

Dickens tells it thus: ‘After leaning his plump little cheek against the ..v?indow glass in a dreary little way for some minutes, he looked around and ﬁnqulred, in a general way. and not as if it bad any speclal application, whether she didn’t think “that the 'towgr of Babel was a great mistake altogether.”’’s smt#lt.f g “In former times ge man who lived In a small town saw' little of life.” - “And now.” Gt S “Now the same J()ﬂlms go everywhere.”—Louisville Courier-Journal.

MODERN “CARMEN” AT WORK Gathering of Women Cigarmakers Presents a Colorful Sight in Span. : & lsh Citles Today. . - The Carmen of the opera ils no idle fancy-of a poet. She was and is very real In Spain today. They are known as cigarreras, and their age may be anything from twelve to sixty.~ They are paid but a peseta a day, and as no human being can live on that, they devote a good share of tgelr time to a business said to be the oldest in the world. ©lt is no uncommon thing to find as high as 50 babies in cradles or crawling about the feet of the girls as they work. For comfort the girls discard the greater part of their clothing when they start to work, but retafn a red rose in their hair or' great silver éarrings. o

- They are hoisterous and rough, and the visitor is hailed with demands for money and given the vilest of curses if he refuses. But the girls sing as they work. Every one has a tiny mirror before her in which she sends constant glances, and the little ¢lothing she retains is colorful :as the rainbow. They all have lovefs whe almost without exception abuse them, beat tfem and take away their earnings. She stands this as long as the lover is true to her, but if he looks elsewhere he had best beware of a stiletto blade between his shoulders. The older women make the cigars and the younger the clgarettes.f-Denver

INGALLS’ TRIBUTE TO GRASS

Beautiful Word Painting of Kansas . Statesman That Is Recognized L 0 .as a Classic: i

Lying in the sunshine among the buttercups and dandelions of May, scarcely higher in’'intelligence than the minute tenants of that mimic wilder- - ness, our earliest recollections are of grass; and when the fitful fever is ended and the foolish wrangle of the market - and forum lis @vsed, grass’ heals over the scar which our d'é;scent; | into the bosom of tle earth has made, and the carpet of the infant becomes the blanket of the dead. Grass is the forgiveness of Nature—her constant benediction. PFields trampled| with battle, saturated with blood, torn with the ruts of cannon, grow green again with grass, and carnage is. forgotten. Streets abandoned by traffic become grass-grown like rural lanes and are obliterated. - Forests decay, harvests perish, flowers vanish, but grass is immortal. Beleaguered by the sullen hosts of winter, it withdraws into the impregnable fortress.i of its subter-; ranean- vitality and emerges upon the first solicitation of spring. Sown by the winds, by the wandering birds, propagated by the subtle- agriculture of the elements which are its ministers’ and servants, it softens the rude outline of the world. It bears no blazonry of bloom to charm the senses with fragrance or splendor, but its homely hue is more enhancing than the lily or the rose.. It yields no fruit in earth or air, and yet should its harvest fall for a single year, famine would depopulate the world.—From a “Collection of the Writings of John James Ingalls.” ° : ~
