somewhat Too open Confession.

From the Minneapolis Times.
A peculiar state of affairs exists ia a
town on the Burlington Railroad north of
Sioux Falls. II appears that a prominent
evangelist visited the town and had Won
derful success in securing new converts.
Among those reclaimed was a noted fe-
male character of the town. The woman
was in dead earnest. and the church mem
bers considered her conversion one of the
chief events of the revival meetings.
This proved to be so, but not in the
way expected. AT one OF the meetinge
after the woman had renowned her for
mer ways and declared her purpose to
start life anew, the minister took occasion
TO remind the class of converts that an
open confession was good for the soul
The woman in question, taking the evan
gelIst at his word. proceeded to 'cut
loose" in a manner that has rent the
town asunder.
The woman told of her many sins and
implicated dozen or fifteen of the lead
ing citizens. The married women of the
congregation, who at first had listened
listIessly to her story, suddenly became
deeply interested and began a more sys-
tematc line of investigation as TO further
and corroboratiye details. AS a result of
this particular instance of open confes.
sion being good for the soul, an editor,
a banker and several prominent mer-
chants are the defendants in suits IN the
divorce courts or are about to be.

OUTLOOK FOR THE HOUSE.
Appropriation Bills Will Have the
Rinht of Way.

Washington, jan 20.-The House of
Representatives will devote most of its
attention during the coming week to APP
preparation bills, series of them, Dis
trict of Columbia, fertilization, naval,
postoffice and agriculture, being ready
for consideration. At the outset, how
ever, there win be a day or two given
to the other measure having right Of
way. The army reorganization bill will
be reported back promptly from the
committee on military affairs, probably
tomorrow, and sent to conference with
a general disagreement to all Senate
amendments. 1t may be reported back
during the latter part of the week and
a sharp contest is promised, Mr.. Richard
son, of Tennessee, the minority leader
having intimated that there will be a
discussion of each paragraph. The Dis
trict of Columbia is entitled to to-mor-
row and will seek to hold the day for the
consideration of local measures.
The bulky postal codifcation bill also Is
before the House as a continuing order
and will require much of the time not
given to appropriation bills Efforts are
making to have the bill to promote the
efficiency of the revenue cutter service
made a special order for Tuesday The
appropriation bills above referred to will
consume the time during the rest of the
week, except Friday, which is private pen
sion day. and Saturday, when eulogies to
the memory of the late Senator Gear Of
Iowa will be pronounced.

IOhi OhtNtETs
Henrik Ibsen, the Norwegian author, Is
nothing II not eccentric. but whether
his eccentrlcites are the result Of study
or the natural manifestation of his tenn
permanent, is the subject of much debate
among those who have met the Morse
writer. BY one who was recently accuS-
toned to meet him daily, the following
characteristic anecdote is related:
Ibsen had made his headquarters at the
Grand Hotel in Christiana, and insisted
that he should be waited upon at table
by someone who had read all of his
works. The proposition was astounding,
and yet so amusing 10 the proprietor OF
the hotel that the latter at once adver-
tised for "a waiter familiar with the
writings OF Doctor Henrik Ibsen." Tho
few applicants for the position who pre-
scented themselves were promptly proved
incompetent as students of Ibsen, the
fussy. vain. bewhiskered author being
himself the examiner.
you see, none but the elite read your
excellent productions, said the hotel
keeper. trying to wheedie the guest out
OF his strange notion
Everybody reads Ibseu, SIR exclaim-
ed the writer. do not dare to tell mo
that all Norway is not conversant with
the work of it's foremost man-of-letters.
! You did not word your advertisement in
! tellgenuy. Here, will write one"
i The thought of Ibsen as an ADVERTISE
| ment writer was so amusing that again
the hotel man inserted long blatant adj
vertisement In the Christiana and several
continental papers.
Soon afterwards, there appeared wan
youth who spoke Norwegian and said he
came from Paris. Doctor Ibsen was de-
lighted, after a rigid cross-examination, To
find that the young man could quote whole
pages from Ghosts" "A Dolls House.,
and John Gabriel Bookman." The au-
thor agreed to pay half the wages OF
the literary waiter. At every meal, Ibsen
listened with rapt attention to the recita-
ton of his own lines from the lips of the
aproned table-attendant. Between tho
service of every two courses, the literary
guest and the literary walter INDUCED
in long conversations about lbsens mode
Of life, his future plans, his ambitions,
the sums of money he earned, and so
forth. Nothing loath, the famous Nor
wcEian unburdened his innermost
thoughts to his hattering servitor one
day, less than a week after the pale Pa
rlsian had accepted his position In the
Christiana hotel, he was missing. Ipsen
was in despair.
Later on, the vain author received LETT
ter from the French capital In winch tho
writer thanked 1.-The master for diVulg-
ing the most precious facts about himself,
and also conveyed the distinguished coil
sIderation" OF the editor Of the best
known paper in Paris, in whose service
the erstwhile waiter had gone to Norway.
A postscript noted the mailing of marked
coDv of the paper mentioned, containing
a four-page interview with Ibsen that
will be the matrix of every future niogra-
ply of that author

THE SCENES AT CoWEs.
Newspaper Men Waiting YEARLY in
the Early Hours.


Cowes, Jan. 81, 1918 a. m.-During the
afternoon the long, billy road to the pal
ace grounds was crowded with people ar
rayed in their Sunday garb, dotting the
landscape with vivid patches of color. The
local gentry, after church service. wrote
their names in the visitors book at the
lodge, which contains no signature that
would mean anything to the world outside
of the Isle of Wight
Inquiries of importance all came by tel
egram and these were legion. Hundreds
of people, all sorts and conditions of men,
clergymen predominating, flocdod Cowes
with kilograms asking for the latest news
A swarm of country people, among whom
were correspondents from all parts of the
globe mingled. ceaselessly converged to-
ward the lodge gates. When night fell
the country side became deserted, save
for the newspaper watchers who waited
YEARLY in the lodge. Strict injunctions
have been given to the court attendants
and the Osborne House employees to
make no answer to any inquiries except
by referring to the official bulletins. The
most circumstan ial stories of various all
ments are currently accepted here, where
the fact of the Queens paralytic stroke
is generally unknown.

SAD SCENE AT OSBORNE
frince Henry's Memory Honored
With Much Sadness.

WIN huch sadness.
Cowes, Jan. 90 Sunday at Osborne
hedsed around with intense secrecy be-
gan with touching scene. Amid the
bright sunshine, in marked contrast To
the gloomy skies of Saturday there drove
out from the palace grounds a carriage
containing wreaths for the tomb of Prince
Henry of Battenberg in a little church at
Whippingham, about ten minutes ride
from the royal residence. Then followed
carriages containing the Princess of
wales, the Princess of Battenberg, Priu-
cess Louise and others, all dressed in the
deepest black. The face of the Princess
or Wales showed signs of the anxiety she
is undergoing.
Inc annual memorial service for Prince
Hehry, always sad occasion, was more
than usually sorrowful, for the shadow of
still greater bereavement was upper
most in the mind. The Princess of Wales
ana the Princess of Battenberg sobbed
bitterly, and there was scarcely one O.
those royal heads bent in prayer that did
not shake with a grief which could not be
suppressed.
Inc departure of the Prince of Wales
for London shortly after 70 o'clock to
meet Emperor William was quietly ac-
complshed. The Queen had been inform
ed of the Kaisers coming and had signi-
fled her desire that the Prince should 90
to meet him. Rather against his will
the man who for the moment was prac-
tically King of England obeyed his moth
er's wishes. 1t was rumored that the
Queen wanted the Emperor to postpone
his visit to Osborne House, as she did not
wish to receive him in her present con-
dition. Apparently, in her lucid moments,
she believed that she would be able to
conquer the dread disease which had
fastened itself upon her.

LEGISLATIVE FORECASTS.
What Is Likely 10 he Done at Wash
ingtOn This Meek-War Reeve
nue. Bill to ne Taken I'm.

Washington, Jan. 2O.-The Senate will
take up the legislative. executive
and judicial appropriation bill Monday as
soon as possible after converting There
is little in the bin that ordinarily would
create debate. But It does not seem inn
probable that several days may be re-
quired TO act on IL because of the de-
sire on the part of some Senators to
postpone consideration of the ship-subsidy
bill as long possible. The shipping
bin viii be made the unfinished business
whatever in the opinion of the friends
of that measure it is wise to give 1t that
place, out IN view of the fact that 1t wih
be displaced by the appropriation bills
whenever Senators in charge of those
measures desire to take them up. It is
probable that the motion to give the bill
the pace Of vantage will be postponed
until after the disposition of the legis-
lative bill
Senator Aldrieh, chairman of the FL
nance Committee, probably will report
the war revenue reduction bill Monday
or Tuesday and he will ask immediate
consideration for that measure. The rules
OF the Senate give preference to reve-
nue. bills, as they do to appropriation bills,
and no order of the Senate will be neces-
sary to make a place for that bill. II is
not probable that any effort will be m de
to dsplace appropriation bills with that
measure, but ala senator's seem united in
the opinion that it necessarily must be-
come law during the session and If
there should be an occasion when 1t would
be necessary to decide between 1t and some
bill other than an appropriation bill. the
preference almost certainly would be
given to the revenue bill. The present
impression, however is that this bill will
be soon disposed of Democratic senator's
probably will make an effort to secure ad-
ditional reductions, but failing i'm this,
will vote for the bill. The pension and
military academy appropriation bills also
are onsthe calendar and will receive early
attention. The Indian appropriation bill
will be reported early in the week, but
will not be pressed.
Senator Morgan has not indicated his
purpose with reference to the Nicaragua
canal bill but his friends say that he will
delay reasonable time, and If England
does not act upon the amendments to
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty he then will
move consideration of the canal bill.
Renewed effort will be made Monday
or Tuesday in executive session to Sc
cure the confirmation of Mr. j. 5. har-
Ian as attorney general for Porto Rico,
and also to secure ratification of the
treaty with Spain for the occasion of the
remaining islands of the Philippine group.

WALES POOR HEALTH.
A Very Serious Matter for britain
just Now.


London, Jan. 21.-In the closing moments
of Queen Victoria's life another grave por-
tent arises, namely, the serious indisposi-
ton of the Prince of Wales. So worried
tired and exhausted wis he last evening
that he could not respond Immediately to
the summons from Osborne House The
most he could do was to promise that he
would leave London at o'clock this morn
ing, if possible. 1t is worthy of note that
even to-day the London papers do not
mention by yelled allusion the fact that
the Queen has had a paralytic stroke
Pages are devoted to the mournful

tons of occurrences here, as we'll as to
kilograms from the colonies and foreign
countries testifying to the sympathy
everywhere evoked. According to the
Daily Telegraph, Emperor William, who
has expressed a desire to be received at
Osborne House, not as Emperor, but as
grandson, said on hearing Of the Queens
illness:
II am my grand-mother's eldest grand
son, and my mother is unable from illness
to hasten to her bedside"

THE KINGDOMS SAD SUNDAY.
Day of Anxiety and Suspense
throughout England.

London. Jan. 21.-Throughout the Unit
ed Kingdom yesterday was a Sunday of
anxiety and suspense. No one in Eng
land, outside the circle of the court, knew
the real condition of the Queen or the
nature of her disease. The bulletins
threw but little light on the universal
question whether death was imminent
The London newspapers had not learned
that Her Majesty had suffered a shock
Of paralysis. Extra editions of the Sun
day papers were eagerly bought.
There were sma,. gatherings in the vi
cinity Of Buckingham Palace and MARI
borough House, as well as other centres
where the bulletins were posted.
Crowds assembled to witness the arrival
OF Emperor William. Apart from such
incidents, however, the customary quiet
OF London Sunday was not disturbed.
Inc most alarming reports of the day
came in the form OF kilograms from the
Processes at Osborne House. The COM
ing of Emperor William and news that
King Leopold was about starting for
London inspired fears that death was at
hahd. On the other hand the fact that
me Prince of Wales was able to leave
osborne House had an encouraging eff
rect When the Prince arrived from Os-
borne at Victoria Station, London, at 4

To allow all this splendid country to go

All this arid land needs Is irrigation. AL
