TRIBUTE TO IBSEN
Poem by Edmund Gosse in Honor of
Ibsen's Birthday.

EetAl ny uoSSc LII I'll
Ibsen's Birthday.
Edmund Crosses tribute to Henrik ID
sen ION entering his seevnty-fifth year.
March 20, 1902, was a poem of laudation
which has been extensively published in
the English papers. 1t is given herewith:
Red Star, that on the forehead of the North
Hast lared far and with so fierce blaze,
Thy long vermiIion light till issues forth
Through hight Of fr-woods down thy water
ways, .......
And draws us UP its sinister wild rays;
Lower it falls and nearer to the sea-
But still the dark horizon flames with thee
All stars and suns roll their predestined
course, s-4
Invade the zenith, hang on high, and turn;
Thrust onward by some godlike secret force,
They twinkle flush, and, e'er they fade,
they burn, .
Each drenched at last in it's historic urn;
Each sloping to it's cold material grave;
, Yet each remembered by the light it gave
Thy radiance, angry Star, shall fill the sky
When all thy mortal being hath decayed !,
Thine is splendor never meant to die,
Long clouded by man. s, vapors, long de-
layed,
But risen at last above all envious shade.
Amid the pearly throng of lyric stars,
Thy fighting orb has lamped the sky like
Mars. ".-
And when the slow revolving years have
driven s.: ...a-
All pearl and fire below the western wave,
Though strange new planets crowd our start
"a led heaven, ...
The soul will still bear on its architrave
The light, reflected that thy lustre gave.
Hail, burning Star! A dazzled Magian,
Kneel to thy red refugence till I die.

ScOre-North and South, T.
COMMENT.
Trick 1-South should lead the singleton in
preference to the spade suit, as the spades
are so long that in case the ace is led, it is
very apt to be trumpet on the first round anil
in any event after the second round, whicf
must be taken to clear the suit, the hand
will be dead, and there will then be no POS
sibility of bringing In the suit Also the
chances for ruffing the heart must. be better:
earlier in the hand than later for if the
opponents are not very strong in trumps, they
will hesitate before leading them, knowing
nothing Of the spade suit, except that it is
absent. Tho leading Of the inlmonse spade
suit, without any effort at protection, is in
itself a declaration OF weakness in trumps and
must necessarily give encouragement to the
opponents.
Trick East must lead the ace of trumps
under the circumstances The ordinary play
would be fourth best.
Trick 6--North reads from the fall of the
cards that South can have no more trumps
with the possible exception of the queen,
which he knows he cannot have as he has al
ready played three trumrs and would not
have led the singleton under any crcum-
stances had he held four trumps. The spade
suit is marked with South, as he has led the
top Of his. clubs, had but one heart and only
three ltrumps, the bulk of his remaining cards
must therefore be spades and North conse-
quently leads to what must be South's suit if
he has nny at all.

PRAISE FOR "TRUE PATRIOTS" 4
Extract From Editorial in Kansas
City Star.
Swedes are much better understood and
appreciated in Kansas City than in GER
tain other parts of the country, as will
be seen from the following complimentary
editorial in the Kansas City Star anent
the forming of Swedish club in that
town:
The Swedish-Ame ricans> of Kansas City
propose to build a clubhouse with assembly
rooms for their societies. 1t is an excellent
idea. There are enough Swedes in Kansas
City to support a fine institution of this
kind. And it need not be feared that the
creation OF a strong Swedish social organiza-
ton will in any way modify the Americanism
of the Swedes.
The Swede is true patriot and his hear,
IS big enough to love his own country and
his adopted country equally well. He is
a strong American. Indeed, if he displayed
less respect and affection for his own nation
ality his allegiance to America would not be
so deep rooted and invincible.
The Swede in Kansas City finds pleasure
and profit in assembling with his country
men as Swede, while if he goes abroad
he is an American. His love for Sweder
is a sentiment. His devotion to his adopted
country is a part of his every day life
Social organizations such as the thu
Swedes have formed in Kansas City ought t
be strongly encouraged. They afford tn
| means of relaxation and enjoyment to tn
members and in this way become pledg'
of security to the body polite. The happie
the people of any community are the better i
will be for the place where they live.
