The Baird yard is one of the prettiest
flower gardens in North Topeka, con
tanning as it does many rose bushes
and other Towering shrubs. One rose
bush IS especially beautiful, containing
as it does prOfusiOn Of handsome red
blossoms. Mrs. Baird takes great
pride and pleasure in her flowers and
spends considerable of her time in
caring for them. With all the atten-
ton bestowed on this yard by the fam
lily it seems a shame that persons
would enter the place at night and
steal the flowers. but such is the case.
as the other night one of the rose
bushes was almost stripped of its
flowers.

where she resided continuously until
December. 1903, when Mr. Swartz
brought her as his bride to make her

At this period Ibsen was a radical and
pronounced socialist, a contributor to
the famous Michael Thrane's paper and
OF of a party of students who made
an organized protest against the ex-
pulsion of another leading agitator from
the country. Ibsen narrowly escaped
Imprisonment with Thrane when the
latter was arrested and his paper sup
pressed Ibsen also afterwards Joined
two other Young radicals in founding
the weekly Andhrimmer. His Chris
tiania career was cut short by the offer
Of the post of theater director at Ber-
gen, the second city of Norway, with
trip abroad to study methods and an
enga cement for five years.
No doubt the poets remarkable hand
ling was largely due to his having &C
cepted this proposal and thus having
long studied the drama from the stand
point of the actual presentation.
His first drama at Bergen, Sane
thansnat, was not successful and was
not published. The next, Fru Inger til
Ostraat, a play based upon that period
of Norway's history when her ancient
kings were making their last stand
against the triumphant Danish in
vaderS was well received and is still
considered one of his best acting
dramas 1t is especially noteworthy
as furnishing a female tragic part
only comparable in modern tragedies
to that Of Lady Macbeth. Two other
cal stories of the Viking period, Gildet
Paa Solhaug and Haermaendene paa
Helgeland, were also successful. A
short poeticaI drama, Olaf Iiljekrans.
was also produced but not published.
From fragments of this, Henrik Jaeg
er, Ibsen's biographer, Is of the opin-
ion that it was a rude sketch of the
same motive which afterward pro-
duced Ibsen's greatest dramatic poem,
Brand.
When his engagement closed Ibsen
returned to Christiania, and in COM
pany with Bjornstjerne Bjornson and
others organized the pro-Norsk liter
airy and dramatic movement which re-
suited in the founding of an oppOsi-
ton theater at Christiania, known as
the Norsk theater. The movement was
so far successful that the other
theater had to bend to popular opinion
and dismiss its Danish actors. Isben's
Bergen trained actors soon became
favorites. But two theaters made re-
turns small for both. and not only was
the reward of playwriters small, but at
last the Norsk theater had to succumb
While the pro-Norsk movement was
popular, Ibsen was regarded as queer
and out of harmony with the prevail
ing literary spirit, which was pervad-
ed by Bjornson's earlier romantic and
idyllic tales
Ibsen produced two dramas, one,
Kong based On events of the
period Of the early kings of Norway,
and the other Kjaerlighe Kome-
die, the precursor Of his social dramas.

Ibsen, the Norwegian poet and drama
list, died this afternoon.
Ibsen was born at skien. a small viii
lage on the Langesund F'jord, Norway,
March 20 1928. While in his twentieth
year he became an apothecary's clerk
in the village of Grimstad, during which
period he wrote several poems which
were published in country papers, and
of which but one, Til Ungarn, survives.
While preparing for Christiania uni
versity he wrote a drama, entitled Gaia
lima, which was rejected by the theaters
and publishers, and was printed at last
at the expense of a friend, the total
sales being but thirty copies. The same
year he entered Christiania university
and began writing for the daily and
other periodicals. and he closed the year
by obtaining the presentation of a one
act play, Kjaempehojen, at the Chris
tfania theater.
