LOVE AND THE PoSToFFlCE.
How German Girls Energy Led TO
Her wedding.


CbicapD Nov A romance which had
its origin in the fancies of a fourteen
year-old girl in Duisburg, Germany mas
been brought to happy ending by the
marriage of Ethel Schwann, Of Chicago,
to Carl Redinger, of Rockport, Ill.
Six years ago the two lived in Duisburg.
Carl was eight years older than Ethel.
and he scarcely noticed her, although she
felt herself in love with him. She came
10 America when she was nineteen, hVe
wears after him. and since her arrival had
been living with a sister in Chicago. Dur
ing these years she had heard nothing OF
Redlinger beyond statement that lie had
settled in IIinois and was engaged in
farming.
After her arrival in America she began
a search for the companion of her child
hood. For six months this was beset with
great difficulties. Then she hit upon an
extraordinary scheme 10 pursue her
quest. She addressed a letter to Carl
Redlinger. Elgin' On the outside of the
envelope she wrote please return if not
called for in ten days" Then she wrote
another letter and addressed 1t to Carl
Redinger, Bloomington with the same
instructions. Every day she wrote one or
more of these letters, and then to almost
every town in Illinois.
Nearly all were returned to her, but
one of the random shots reached the
mark for which they were intended and
the young womans quest was ended.
Carl Redlinger, the one Ethel had learned
to admire years ago in Germany, had for
five years lived on farm near Rock
port, in Pike County. Ethels letter ad-
dressed to Rockport was received by him
last July. He replied to her and follow
ed the letter with visit. The wedding
tells the rest of the story.
The young couple left today for their
farm near Rockport.

a DIET OF RAW SPIDER.
Professor BeaII Declares the Insect
to Be Edible

Prof BeaH. of the Agricultural Depart
ment. until recently and for many years
connected with the Bureau of Animal IN
dustry. says human beings may eat poison
spiders with impunity. He is ready to
challenge the story so widely published a
few days ago about a woman ''Iifer'' in
a Northern prison who collected spiders,
ate them and died, as being untrue and
impossible.
That woman or any other woman. or
man, either he said. might eat spiders
and suffer no more i'll effects from them
than if she had eaten a piece Of chicken
or radish- II she died al all she did
not commit suicide by that means and
could not had she wanted TO. The very
worst effect that she could have felt from
the spider meal would have been a case of
indigestion from the repugnance she
might have felt after the disagreeabie
diet

toms are misunderstood by patients and
physician. In the pitileSs struggle for exist
ence the sick are at an awful disadvantage.
They are trampled under foot like lame
wolves in the rush of their strong ana
hungry fellows. Small wonder is il that the
invalid gloomily rejecting on what he be-
lievcs to be his hopeless state resorts TO
pistol or poison; to the rope or the river.
A few dry words from his doctor have
fallen on his ear like death-Scntence. In
some medical book the sufferer has read Of
deadly diseases with symptoms such ~ he
noted in himself. He concludes he has some
disease he has read about, an inference as
natural as it is unwarranted. Pride duty and
love are powerless to hold the suicide hand.
Among the readers of this article may be
some who have pondered long on the que>-
ton whether sick life is worth living, Vet
have not reached that pitch of despair when
they would push themselves across the line
between time and eternity. To them Il few
words of simple, temperate common sense.
How do you know that you cannot be aS
well and strong as any Of your neiglibors?
