A professor In a German school In
order to teach his pupils letter writing
recently conceived the happy idea Of
having them compose business letters
which were inclosed in envelopes and
correctly addressed to various mer-
chants In the town. In the evening
Herr Professor, having carried the
varied epistles home for correction, left
them on his table and, as was his Gus
tom, hied himself to the cafe. 1t hap
pened that he had a careful domestic,
who, seeing an the letters properly ad-
dressed. at once concluded that her
master had forgotten to mail them, and
out of the goodness Of her heart she
stamped them and hurried to the post
The stupefaction Of the village mer-
chants upon opening their mail the fol-
lowing morning may be imagined, and
the amusing part Of the incident Is that
many Of the letters, which contained
lengthy orders for goods, we're taken
seriously and the orders promptly fill

Curious Land. Curious People,


Near Cape Horn, in the island of
TERRA del Fuego, live the most curious
people in all South America. 1t rains
or SHOWS or sleets nearly every day,
and yet they look on their country as
the finest in the world. They wear
hardly any clothing and seem not to
feel cold. Because he saw fires on the
shore the explorer Magellan, the first
European that rounded the Horn. call
ed the island 1.-The Land of Fire." which
Is almost the worst name he could
have chosen. Their huts are made Of
bent boughs and covered with grass
and give only the poorest shelter. The
folk are vain, too, wearing necklaces
Of the teeth Of fishes or seals and paint
ing patterns on their bodies. Among
them some colors have novel mean-
ing. White Is the sign Of war and red
of peace. They are great mimics and
will initiate voice and gesture per-
fectly.

character Is 80 clearly recognized that
they are often grown in large pots or

boos are generally thought to look best

will be moved to the reservation
country for use in the publication Of
a weekly. The incident shows that
it is much easier to start a daily than
to make it pay. No town the size Of
Mitchell has any business to be try
ing to support more than one daily
and The Republican of that city,
which has toiled increasingly in the
interest of its home city for years, is
clearly entitled to the right of way.
Council Bluffs is a city of 30, 900 peo-
pie and one good daily is good
enough for it. Marshalltown is a city
of 35, 900, and it has but one daily.
Another was started there but it
failed. The experience of the Star,
which has blinked .out so suddenly,
will serve as a fitting warning to
other enterp1ising publishers to count
the cost before making a plunge into
a field already amply filled.
