FOR A PARCELS POST In an argument in favor of a Kational Parcels Post, The West ern Empire cities the fact that a British citizen may now send an eleven pound package of mer chandise from New York to San Francisco, or any other point in the United States for but 24 cents, while an American pays from $2.80 to $3.20 for the same service. The English parcels post carries such a package to New York and it is there trans ferred to the American express company, which has a contract "with the British government to deliver said package to its des tination for the 24 cents. The American Express company has kept up this contract for five ' years and is willing to continue it 100 years. A citizen mailing r expressing an eleven pound package from New York to San Pranciseo would . find the cost exceeding 1 $2, 50, The . Western Empire insists that this is un-;, just discrimination and demands a United States parcels pest that the situation may be remedied. The Empire continues: Xfmi 1 .

Wdrtham'sDgtorf Positively. No Free List writing, Krlstoffer Jansen, tnen a young: student, made his way to the poet' home at Cnristlania. carrying in hi pocket a roll of poems of his own to manuscript. BJornson was lying on his back on aa lounge playing with his firstborn,. Bjorn. b "Go on," he said, with a gracious; nod to the visitor as soon as he had heard the cause and the purpose of th visit. .... Young Jansen began to read. Now and then he would look up to see what impression he was making on his lis tener. As far as he could make out,. Bjornson was wholly absorbed in the play with the child. When at last the recitation ended and Jansen lapsed , into despairing silence, too awed to venture a question even, Bjornson leaped to his feet, dropped the child into the cradle and rushed out of the room. A moment later he returned, leading his wife by the hand.. "Karoline," he said to her, "I have . heard something that I like at last, and here is your first dollar." Blushed With Delight. ;. Jansen stared in unfeigned surprisev But i the explanation , that followed .made him blush with pleasure. ' "And now you must hear my latest," . Bjornson said, taking , a. manuscript from the drawer of his writing table. - .. It was "Arne." - Jansen listened to the reading of it with bated breath. VV nen ine euu came, o juruauu ueiuuuu- ed: : . v.:; : ' "Well, what do you think of it?" i Jansen gasped and stammered and blushed. He wanted to say something Cice, and he could not find words that ' seemed good enough. Finally he burst out: ; ' : - "I I think Mrs. Bjornson 1 should have another dollar." . ; , Bjornson was once askedto mention the greatest pleasure that ' his poetry had ever given him. "That," he replied "was when a delegation of political opponents marched to my house and smashed all my windows, for," he add--ed,-"they had no sooner done this and started to march home again than I heard them sing. ,T.'Tes, ; we love this : The editor of the G.-T.-is .io Lland of ours.'
