Hans Sach, the shoemaker-poet'
and "father of German literature,"
from whom Goethe and many others
drew much of their inspiration, was
born at Nuremberg 415 years ago
today. He lived to the ripe age of
eighty-two, dying in the picturesque
old city of his berth, which still pre- j
serves with jealous care the house of i
Hans Sach, in the street named fori
the poet.
It was decided that Hans should
follow his father's calling, tfcr.t of a
shoemaker, but he was first careful
ly educated at the Latin school of
the city. He then began to learn
his trade.
A trade meant something of im
portance in those days, when the
guilds or labor organizations
were supreme powers in civil affairs. ,
One of the chief features that count
ed. largely in the connection of learn
ing a trade was what was called the
wanderjahre." A young man must
perfect himself in his preparation to
announce himself ready for pa'tron
age by going to work in many cities,
learning methods and customs and
broadening himself in thought and
experience.
Hans worked at what he called his
"craft" in Katisbon. Passau, Salz
burg, l.eipsic, Lmbec and Osana-brm-k.
Then he came back to Nu
remberg and spent the rest of his
das as a shoemaker making litera
ture his pastime ami real joy in life.
He married when he was 25 and
t'iis first ife having died, he mar
ried again in 1561. Both wives bore
him children, so he had a large fam
ilv, but he supported them in the
careful well-regulated German home
liie that is full of simple and far
reaching infuence.
It is claimed for Hans Sach that
he founded in Germany the school
of tragedy as well ns comedy. The.
great poet. Goethe, repeatedly said
that he got the outline of his ' Faust"
from Sachs and the idea of many of
his other works from the same 1
source.
Hans felt the need of preparation ' "
for his place in the ranks of the Till FPHONE NO 136
Meistersingers, and he went to Mu- T E L 1L r M w n IH J . I
nieh for a time to studv. He wrote Especial attention given to telephone orders. Free delivery to any

The largest funeral corteg" seen
i Ilrownsvil'e for many years was
that which accompanied the mortal
remains of Santos Valdez, t.ie late
tii. collector and assessor for the
City of Brownsville for a period of
24 years to the cemetery yesterday
afternoon. The funeral service was
conducted by the Caholii church by
Rev. Father Hugnard. The process-on
which followed the remains
from the church to the cemetery was
about six or seven blocks in length
and included at least six or seven
jitindred people.
At the cemetery the I;. -rial services !
conducted by the Mexiran
of fun gave an added charm to it.
There came a time, some 300 years
ago; when German writers abandoned
the tradi'ions of the early singers
anil began to copy the style of for
eign writers. Thus it happened that
there was a period in which Sachs
was almost unread, even in his own
city. It was. in trnth, Goethe who
awakened afresli the interest in this,
admirable poet. And he is now fa
miliar to ail readers who enjoy and
appreciate poetic genius and expression.
