' Editor Gazette-Times: - ,: In regard to the item in your last issue referring to the mik stolen from the back porch of a Baptist gentleman, allow me to say, through the columns of your paper, that it seems to me quite an ill will that would attempt a slur upon " a prohibitionist ' and also the Christian ' gentleman mentioned in that communica tion. - - '-'.- "You manfully(?) asserted that a prohibitionist did the deed.

Poet and . Patriot. . AMUSING BENT IN HIS HOME How a Young Student and the Novel - ist's Wife Figured In One of His Fa- vorite Ideas Greatest Pleasure That His Poetry Ever Gave Him. Of Bjornstjerne Bjornson, the aged Norwegian novelist, dramatist, poet and patriot, who was born at Kvikne, Osterdalen, Norway, on Dec. 8, 1832, and who was recently stricken with an attack of arterio sclerosis, an Inter esting anecdote is related by Kristof f er Jansen, the minister-poet, who spent a number of years in the United States. In the first article hs ever published Bjornson announced his firm belief that a new generation 01 pojets would soon arise, in Norway. It was one of his favorite ideas, and he reverted to it time and again. One who heard more of it perhaps than anybody else was Miss Karoline Reimers, 'who in 1858 became -Mrs. Bjornson. Shortly after BJORNSTJEENE BJORNSON. their wedding Bjornson promised his wife Jestingly that he would keep her in pocket money by paying her $1 for each new imaginative work by a na tive writer that took his fancy. x "They will be coming! They will be coming!" he cried triumphantly. "I'll have to work hard to keep, my prom ise." ..J' . ' But they did not come. Months passed, and if Mrs, Bjornson received any pocket money it was not owing to the merit of any native poet or nov elist, Bjornson himself was" then best known through "Synnove Solbakken." which he had published not long be fore.
