IBSEN At HOME.
The Dramatist Seeing on His O4cn
Buttons.

The Norwegian novelist John Paulsen. has
lately published little book about Henrik
Ibsen, whom he knew well for many years He
gives some vivid If not engaging glimpses of his
friend One thing that marked the man he
says. his determination to do things for
himself:
Thus, IL a button came OF OF his garments
he would retire his room, lock the door
and after many comical and unnecessary preInf-
naries, proceed TO the button himself with
the same care with which he wrote the fair copy
OF new play.
Such an important task he could not possibly
intrust TO any else, not to his wife
one of his paradoxes was that "a woman never
knew how 10 button SO that N would
hold But If he himself sewed it on IL held 10
all eternity.
Fru Ibsen smiled roguishly and subtly when the
creator of Nora out with such anti-fa n1inIst
sentiments. Afterward she told in confdence
1T true that Ibsen himself on his va Eraut

THE inquiry will arise in the minds
of men as to why Hunter. Kretschmer
and Benson should want to issue a
statement in which they presumed to
Judge Senator Allison's interests with
out consulting him. Major Day was
unwilling to take Hunters word be-
cause Etunter has little If any moral
standing. The purpose of Hunter.
Kretschmer and Benson is therefore
a proper subject for analysis. kretsch-
rner did not want to confess the hope
lessness of his campaign in his state
ment o. withdrawal. He did want to
save his face with people at home,
and In so far as possible avoid the APP
pearanee of having sold out TO state
as the reason of his withdrawal MS

seemed to him the best one to advance
and he did not hesitate to advance III.
Hunter and Benson apparently caring
little for the senator's feelings. wanted
the Allison reason to so into the state
mert because it served to draw the
senator into the open in the guoer-
Material fight and cause him TO APP
pear as an active supporter or FER
kins. To serve the railroads Hunter
was quite willing to use Allison, Just
as Kretschmer, to serve himself. was
also willing to use the senator's name

the effect that Allison knew nothing OF
the deal and had not been consulted.
