lBSEN'S "GHOSTS."

Ibsen's Ghosts" has probably
been condemned by more people
than any other play that has ever
been produced, but at the same
time it is one of the greatest SER
mons that was ever preached. And
Ibsen's portrayal of the Sins of
the fathers being VISITED upon the
children" cannot help but set us to
thinking. Mr.. Harry Hestayer who
will present Ibsen's greatest dra-
ma at the Spokane Friday night,
is one of the most talented young
opponents of Ibsen that we have

NEW YORK, Nov. 20. Mrs.
Pearl Mary Theresa Craigie John
Oliver Hobbes), who is now visit
ing this country, has contributed a
new word to the language. Had
It started from the Bowery it
would have been slang, and polite
people could not have used it. But
canning from such woman as Mrs.
Cragie, it is eminently and unques-
tionably good form.
The word is a good fit. 1t has
the taking qualities of slang, a GER
tain brisk directness, a certain elu-
3iveness of definition. Therefore it
is disable, to say nothing of being
imported. There is no reason why
it should not be as pSAilar this
season as our good old standbys,

The word is "blim." 1t is a verb.

ter the battle, a party Of English
men set fire TO the widows house
one winters night, and after, rob.

In the course of time Margaret
