I given us by a brief essay of lmpresjsions written by a nev.coiner, A. It. ' Burns, late of England. Mr. Durns

has not been a MUhawak&n long. Ilia description of the city was written shortly after h;s arrival here. He appears to be ery favorably impressed with us. Hut let him Epeak for himself; he aiya:

j "It might interest the readers of . The News-Times to read the views i of one- recently arrived in this counjtry. fjl America and Americans in K'-neral, and of Mishawaka and the '.district in particular. Arriving at the depot at Miifhawaka as I did, on a sunny afternoon In the early part j of September, my eye rested with pleasure on the garden town of j Mtshawaka. The city, to a stranger, looks as pretty as the lilting I sound of Its name is sweet. He loka i up to the pleamlng cross on St. Jo- . seph'.5 church, ami down on the va- . ter which Hows between green banks Alter a Fomenh.it prolonged stay in the mushroom -jrovvn city o! : Detroit, congested bnyond all Imarr:inntion. and a busy time in New ' York. Mishawaka looked to me like a veritable city of re., where one j could be lazy and not feel guilty. ' It was hard to r elieve that this quiet I town was a hive of industry, and ; that the results of Its labors finds purchasers in the far markets of the world. I Nor was I lontr allowed to feel stringer In the city. Aa soon as It ; was known that I wished to settle 1 here for a time, at least more j than one kindly peryon came foriward and offered their services to j help me to find rooms, or, they j expressed It. "to get located." On ; every s!d I met with kind servie i and courtesy. I Although Mishawaka might 1m- ' press a stranger as a fjulet spot the "stranger soon learns it Is not behind j the times. The inhabitants are not behind In learning the value of a i dollar, and the value of thrir mer-

prised crowd

this condition In

Mishawaka one

chnndise. The newcomer finds that

j Ills hotel or his meals at the res'taurnnt are as costly as they are lr

i New Yrk or Detroit. And when he

goes farther and looks for room.1 hr finds that they are on a level with everything else. In New York the grnt port of landing In America one Is not sur-

surprised to find

Detroit. Cut in . i u . . c

fathers and forefathers had all lived

their lives here. Instead, one finds people of all nations and toncut-s Creek. Hungarians. Germans, Helglan.. Italians, and people frum

I various parts of the British Kmpiro.

Üpe ik to therr and they will tell you in broken English that they are all Americans. To the newcomer this is startling. Here is America a nation which ii not a nation, as she is made up of Immigrants from ail nations. S!ie Is a people made up of peoples f;om all ovei the world. Hre cities hae their various sections. o,uarters or colonies, as for example. New York, which has its Jewish east .side. Its Greek section, its Chines rnd Italian colonies ,etc. They ypeak their native languages, though the are in America. Is it any wonder that Rev. A. McClure Fpeakint; to the members of the Chamber of Commerce counselled them to make ev.-ry endeavor to understand the Immigrants h-s they "make up the. greater part of the population of the United States." At this time of th yrar nny one from England. Ireland or .Scotland where Christmas is such a sensun of hi'-rh festival, won id not feel out of place In Mishawaka. One Fe. -a on .ill sid s the same preparations, the fnrr.e enthusiasms. The stores are fuil of the same tempting displays. The same gaudy decorations, the same Christmas trees with the same colored candles, and glittering colored bells and tinsels have made their appearance. Even the simo notices. "Mall earfV" and "Shop Early" are to be seen. We are further reminded that thl is the children's season and that E.o stores all have their special departments of Christmas tovs. This

's the true spirit of Christmas which Is to bo found only In the Rritish Isles and America. It Is the spirit which has f-cen handed down from the rUtrrims of the Mayflower, who in England before they left her shores, learnt the tru moaning of the Christmas festival. The children's season of toys, of laughter, of soncr and dance and pood cheer rw-n If the country is dry. The sraffii when all be'-nrae young become as children again.

Today, the column's the thing. If you can become a column conductor In some newspaper, whether It be a metropolitan aristocrat or an enterprising small town bulletin of 32 ambitious columns you are well on the road toward fame. U. L. T. s-t tho fad. King Lardner followed as a close second. P. P. A. and loi. Marquis are equally well known and equally popular among their particular fan3. And along comes C. L.. Edson, with a timely little volume on columning. an authority unquestionably, but a choice bit of column humor besides. Kdson. it may not bo known, has lslted in Mishawaka frequently. lie i.s a warm personal friend of Isaac Kuno Parks, with whom he went to school in u email country village when they were both youngsters. Ho visited In tho otflces of The News-Times on tho occasion of his last stay In the city. . And Mr. Parks, when the little book eamo out recently, secured a copy especially for the Man In the Street. I look Klcli In Humor. It 13 called, naturally, "The Gentle Art of Columnmr." In It the author sketches an entertaining picturo of himself, his humor springing from a genuinely rich vein. He dis

cusses his art from a to z, and reveals its secrets without reserve. He points out the pitfalls to the aspirant, and directs him toward the most prolific fields. His book Is i f ally a handbook of the s ilient points In column writing. But it is v. orth tho while of anyone who enjoys racy and entert lining writing. The hook has a series of introductory essays that adds much to its value. Such names as Don Marquis, Christopher Morley. Franklin P. Adams and George Horace lorimer are sufllcient in themselves to attract the reader who desires- to be Instructed while he is amused. Kdson was for some years on the staff of n. larcre eastern dallv. His experience naturally furnishes him with a fund of material from which to draw.
