Bitters Were Introduced
by a German Adventurer

Johann Gottlieb Benjamin Siegert,
born just before the Nineteenth GEN.
fury, in Silesia, Germany, went to
Berlin to study medicine and later
served as an army surgeon with the
East Prussian infantry, in the cam
paign of the nations allied against
Napoleon.
A born adventurer, writes cor
respondent in the New York Herald
Tribune, he embarked for Venezue-
la not long after his discharge, to
offer his services to Simon Bolivar
in the war for independence. Boil
var made him surgeon general Of
his military hospital. DR.. Siegert
later settled in a town on the river
Orinoco, practicing as physician
and surgeon. In 1924 he first made
use of an article which he termed
Aromatic Bitters. It's popularity
spreading fast among his friends,
his two sons later took over what
had become a major industry in his
part of the world.
Later, to escape the peril of po-
itical disturbances, the brothers
took the industry to Port of Spain
in Trinidad in 1875.

Cripple Creek History

The district about Cripple Creek,
Colo, swarmed with prospectors in
the 1905 and 1905, but each report
of finding gold in abundance there
proved false and for several years
thereafter the region contained only
lonely cattle ranch and a few pros
pectors who continued the search.
But on the Fourth of July, 1891, the
famous Independence vein, on what
is now the site of Victor, trans
formed the region into one of the
greatest gold-producing districts of
the ,~orld.

Treasury Seal Old

The Great Seal of the Treasury
department, which is reproduced
on all United States paper currency,
bears an abbreviated Latin legend
which, when expanded and trans
lated, reads 1.-THE Seal of the Treas
ury of North America" It is wit
ness to the antiquity of the Treas
ury department, for this seal was
designed before there was a treas
ury of the United States Of America
and before there was government
of the United States of America. It
is older than our government, older
than our Constitution. It is found
affixed to documents issued as early
as 1882, seven years before the Con-
stitution of the United States went
into EJECT.

Old City of Client Has
Annual Parade of Nuns

Once a year the ancient city of
Client provides a show that can be
seen nowhere else on earth. It is
the procession on the day Of As
sumption of the Virgin. At that
time, writes Frederic Babcock in
the Chicago Tribune, the nuns Of
the Twelfth century Beguinages
pour forth from their walled and
moated refugees and, with heads
bent within their white wells, per-
NIT the tourists and natives to watch
them parade solemnly through the
streets.
The Benguinage-its names orr
gin still mystery-came into ex-
istence in the days of the Cru
sades, when hundreds of the cfty's
fathers and sons lost their lives on
the battlefelds of Palestine. With
no men to marry them, the widows
and young women took refuge in
these religious houses, but took no
vows. To this day the same rule is
observed and each member is free
to return to the noisy life of the
city whenever she wishes. Further
more, the Beguines pay taxes.
American visitors often remark
that the Beguines of Client are the
''prettiest nuns" to be found any
where. Although quite unconscious
of this esteem, these women, many
Of them from excellent families, are
not there because no one asked to
marry them. They devote their
sheltered lives to prayer and nurs-
ing the sick of the poor. Each con-
vent cottage of the Beguinage is
named for a saint, and over the por-
tai of their little city within a city
are the gospel words in Latin, 81
was stranger and ye took me in"
In their spare time they make lace
so beautiful that bits of it can be
found in every corner of the globe.

Pawnbrokers Got Worst
of Deal Through a King

VI ACoA IA OOSA q Nt1
The story of the king who pawned
his watch for refreshments is well
known.
Another king who had contact
with pawnbrokers was Theodore of
Corsica, who came to London in the
mid Eighteenth century, and was
buried in a Piccadilly church, only
escaping a pauper's grave by a
strangers kindness, recalls a writer
in London Answers Magazine.
He had previously been a German
soldier and adventurer, Baron Won
Neuhof by name. After putting
down a rebellion in Corsica he was
offered the throne by the king of
Sweden, who at that time claimed
the island.
In a few months King Theodore
decided to quit and live in the safer
neighborhood of London. But he had
extravagant tastes and little means
of gratifying them. After many bor-
rowings, and even spell in the
debtors prison, he put the king
dom he had deserted into pawn-to
a syndicate of so-called business
men.
He had no intention of returning
there, and even less hope of being
received as king if he should return.
Few pawnbrokers can ever have
made such a silly deal.

folks.) WALTER COINS is

Noticed WILLIAM SMITH,
"dean" of the postal employees,

others that space doesn't allow
mentioning. The consensus of
opinion was that it was a very,
very nice party.
Last Saturday afternoon MRS.
BLANCHE MASON, HARRIET

see the Ballet Russo. 1t was the
most wonderful performance of

Well, 1 hope all you men have
.emptied your boxes and necktie
racks, making room for the new
Christmas supply that usually rolls
in. One lady we know has bought
a dozen (and they are not cheap
ones either) and says she gives one
to each of the men where she
works, from the janitor to the boss
himself, and on Christmas Eve she
has to hire a taxi to carry home
the boxes of candy she gets in re-
turn. Quite a feat!

Butchers Bill on Clay

The butchers is an ancient trade.
One of the oldest writings is butch
er's bill inscribed on a piece of
baked clay about 1850 B. C. in Baby
Ion. In Fourteenth century Paris,
butchers could sell only one kind of
meat-lamb, or beef, or pork, etc.
Originally butcher was seller of
goats meat. The word comes from
French and Italian words for goat.
In fact, in Taormina, Sicily, street
butchers carry goats head on a
spike to advertise their produce.

Highlights on the Postal Alliance
Dance held at the Safety Building

TELA BURT escorted charming
RACHEL JAMES, who was
gowned in pale blue taffeta, to the
dance. Cute E A R L E N E
STOKES seemed to be enjoying
herself with not only one, but
quite a few young admirers.
The ARCHIE JAMES were as de-
voted to one another as young
honeymooners. (Now that's what
we all like to see.) -. MILDRED
BROOKS, alluring in her yelled
tiara, was looking quite contented
with DON VERNON. AUDRE
MCCULLOUGH looked sweet in
peach lace. The DORIS COINS
(gowned in black satin) and BERT
SHANNON romance is still bloom
ing. LOUIS MASON and
DOROTHEA HARRIS make an
awfully cute couple, don't they 1?
LOUISE CARMICHAEL was
really enjoying herself. Who
was the young man who couldn't
take his eyes off of ELIZABETH
WALKER? Some gals ought
to bring a ball and chain to dances
to hold their b. ifs, instead of mere
handouts. (That ought to hold
them.) must say that Mrs.
DAVE FRANCIS made a most
charming hostess. All the guests
enjoyed themselves to the utmost.

Ferdinand de Soto was the first
commander of the great fortress at
the entrance to Havana harbor. The
passage was once blocked by heavy
chains which stretched across the
channel from La Fuerza to FL Moro,
the forts on either side. These
chains could be raised or lowered
at will and held enemy ships at bay
while the forts poured shot and
shell into them.

Devils Revenge"

Cologne cathedral, one of the most
famous in the world, was not COM
pleted until 1880, more than 600 years
after it was started. A legend ex-

architect plan it, and when he was
duped out of his pay he made the
world forget the name of the archi-
tect and held up the construction for
generations.

o loud they are
In praise of me,
And modestly smile,
But trembling dream
Of what I'd be-
Were sin made worth my while.
JULIA MARIA SUTHERN.
MANS WAY

And this talk of death.

Wasted on words
And the ponderous talk of death.
Leave them to their endless rocking,
And their endless pain;
Leave the shadows hooking
Rocking pain.

2. Would 1 be justified on

health to retire.
12-9-19.-The guest was in the
hotel where I work. l asked him
about a job in New York and gave
him my address. Was he intend
ing to write back and help me?
Ans: He meant all right at the
time but since then he has forgot

dress and this will recall the matter
to his attention.

move out of this old ragged house
and when?
Ans: Just as soon as a little
more money starts coming in to
your family you will be able to take

says? He just keeps putting the
date off. Tell me if he loves me
or not?

doesn't want to get married and
that's why he keeps putting it off

definite date or he never will marry
you.

larly and find it very interesting
