the giant wanted to play and shut down
the bell to keep the weather out when

THAT trapdoor over the mouth of the
horn worked perfectly, and you'd have
thought there wasn't anything more to
be done about it; but it seems the giant
didn't like the bother of stepping out -
lift the cover and then stepping out again
to put ii back, and finally he saved him
self that effort by a very simple con-
trivance that was not only convenient
for him, but that was really ingenious
as it was simple Even the old man said
it was good.
THE giant made a little pulley block

to it, simple as could be, but with this
contrivance he could lift the lid off the
bell of the horn. and put 1t back over Il
just by pulling on those cords and with

AMUSING STORIES
TOLD OF IBSEN
Insisted on Sewing on Buttons
for Himself
WOULDN'T TRUST WOMAN
Did Not Believe Woman Could Write
a Cook Book, Either-Literary
Work Always Done
in Secrecy.

Some amusing anecdotes of 1sben have
just been published by the Norwegian
writer, John Paulsen, who was on init.
mate terms with him for many years
says the New York Sun. One of hi.
stories he prefaces with the remark that
however much the dramatist upheld the
rights of women. he by no means con
sidered them superior to men in any line;
In fact he considered them inferior in
many spheres in which the world in gen.
eral puts them ahead. One of his max
Inns was:
mo woman could write a cook book
and no woman can sew button on fast.
He lived up to the latter part of his
dictum- When he detected loose button
on any of his garments he retreated to
his own den, locked himself in, and with
elaborate preparations sewed the button
on.
He took as much pains with 1t as he
would with the final, fair copy of one of
his plays Then he used to brag about
the performance. saying that he wouldn't
put trust in button sewn on by wo-
man-not even by his wife.
His wife used to laugh with a quietly
She confided to Paulsen that she secretly
reserved all the buttons that the poet
had sewn, sewed them good and tight, as
only a woman can, she said, explaining
that he always forgot to fasten the
thread, and the buttons would come off
In a few days if she did not look after
them.
But don't undeceive him." the faithful
wife added appealingly; ut makes him so
happy to think that he did it."
So. Paulsen remarks, there was a hid
den lie in the life of the great apostle of
frankness and truth. One day In Munich,
1bsen asked Paulsen in the most con-
cerned way whether he polished his own
shoes in the morning. With a feeling of
Understandable guilt, Paulsen confessed
that he didn't
But you ought to-" Ibsen urged. You
will feel different man if you do. No
man should let another do for him what
he can do for himself.
Begin with polishing your shoes and
you will soon come to keeping your room
idn order, even to making your own fires.
in this way you will gradually develop
into a self-reliant man, independent of
servants and all other people"
Ibsen was extremely sensitive about
anyone's finding out the least hint re-
Rarding any Incomplete work that he had
in hand. He never revealed plot an in
cident or scrap of dialogue until the
work was completed.
Once his wife picked from the floor
scrap of paper with the words 1.-The doc
tor says upon it. She asked her hus-
band jestingly what the doctor did say
and who he was.
Ibsen went into a paroxysm of rage
He declared that he was not safe in his
own house: he was surrounded with
spies. All his ideas were ruined, his plans
thrown awry.
He was only pacifed when his wife
showed him the paper and explained
where she had found it. The play was
"An Evening of the People," the doctor
was Stockman.

TO WIPE OUT ONE ROOSEVELT.
Not Teddy, But a Town at the Bottom
of Proposed Reservoir.

The Roosevelt dam is located in Gila
county, Arizona, about sixty-five miles
northeast of the city of Phoenix, at a
point where natural site for dam is
afforded by the canon formulation.
Owing to the character of the coun-
try it was necessary to construct a
series of highways, in order to haul
machinery and other supplies to the
site of the dam from the nearest rail
way point. Road building operations
have covered nearly one hundred miles
alone, some of the highways being Cut
through bluffs ranging from fifty to
seventy five feet in height.
The immense amount of rock cut
ting, the quantity of cement needed,
also the elaborate concrete work, rem
dered necessary the construction of a
cement mill, several concrete mixing
plants at various points, as well as
smaller industries, which have created
village in the vicinity of the dam
site. This community is called Roose
welt.
An odd feature of Roosevelt, says the
Cement Age, is that it is situated on
the bottom of the proposed reservoir
and will pass out of existence as soon
as the dam is completed Owing to the
difficulty in securing fuel and the ex-
pense of installing steam power the
engineers decided to utilize hydraulic
and electric power, and portion of the
preliminary work has been the con-
struction of power canal, which is
nearly twenty miles In length. 1t will
generate sufficient current to operate
all of the mechanism and that needed
for Illuminating the cement mill and
other plants, and if necessary will fur
nish light for night work upon the dam
itself.
Where the dam is being built the
gorge is about 200 feet wide at the
base, expanding to 400 feet in width at
the top of the cliffs. By the construc-
ton of barrier of the dimensions pro-
posed a reservoir will be formed about
eighteen miles in length and averaing
four miles in width. While the area is
less than that of some of the storage
reservoirs already completed in this
country 1t will contain sufficient water
to flood 100000 acres to an average
depth of one foot-and quite CROUCH
to wipe out Roosevelt

MO, the great giant wasn't what you
N would call lazy" said the old cir
Gus man, but still he was a man
who saved himself effort when he could.
For instance:
Il guess you remember my telling you
horn in our band? We had a horn built
specially for him of dimensions AMI
strength corresponding to his size and
power, and the giant used to march with
the band playing that horn in our street
parades, his place being at the left hand
end of the rear rank formation, where he
and his great horn rose like a high tow
err at one corner of a low, square block.
"Thunders, indeed. the great giant
evoked from the giant bass horn, and he
was not a bad player, though such prof.
cheney as he had gained, of course. as
most men have to do, was only by prac-
tce, and it was in his preliminary prac-
tice that the incident occurred that | was
going to tell you about, bearing on the
question you asked me about whether
the giant was lazy or not.
THE great horn was shipped to us from
the factory one winter while we were in
winter quarters ana tne giant went 10
practlclng on IL right away. IN the mousse
that the giant lived in we had made
room of sufficient and suitable height for
him by taking out the floor of the secon
story rooms over large room on the
ground floor, thus making one large room
that ran up through two stories and
which so had height enough for the 81
ant 10 stand up straight In with a far
amount of head room, and then we hdd
cut in one side of this room door lead
ing out of doors that was high enough
for him, a door like the scenery door IF
theatre so that the giant could go in
and out without stopping.
well when the big horn came the gi-
ant took to practicing 1t right away: AMI
the blasts he blew on 1t were sometime,
powerful, but we never, even ourselves,
living right there with him as we did,
realized how much power there was in
those blasts until there was forced on
us actual proof of 1t.
This house that we had there was n
fat-roofed house, with no garnet, tho
ceiling of the giants high room coming
up right close under the roof, and in
about a week after the giant got goin:,
on the horn-he practlced in his room.
of course, as he could not very well
practice outside in winter-we noticed
that the roof on his side of the house,
over his room, had been started up off
the side walls Just lifted up by the DOW
erful blasts from the giants horn. and
then we knew that If he kept on improv-
ing in power as he had been dung in the
past day or two 1t would be only a ques-
ton of a comparatively short time before
he'd blow the roof of the house off. Then
the old man, resourceful in every emcr-
gency, got busy
