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:

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
