Coed Nfifs's Comment.
Some amusing anecdotes Of Ibsen
have been published BY the Norwegian
writer, John Paulsen, who was on in
innate terms with him for many
years, says the New York Sun. One
Of his stories he prefaces with the re-
mark that however much the dram
atist upheld the rights of women, he
by no means considered them superior
to men in any llne-ln fact, he consid-
cred them inferior in many spheres In
which the world in general puts them
ahead. One OF his maxims was:
''No woman could write a cookbook,
and NO woman can sew button on
fast
he lived up to the latter part of his
dictum. When he detected a loose
button on any of his garments he re-
treated 10 his own den, locked himself
In and with elaborate preparations
sewed the button on.
BE took as much pains with II 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 sewed
on by any woman, not even by his
wife.
His wife used to laugh with quiet
" ironical expression on these occa-
sions. She confded to Paulsen that
abe secretly reserved all the buttons
that the poet had sewed-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 of. in few days
IL she did not lo6k after them.
But don't undeceive him." the faith
full wife added appealingly. ut makes
him so happy to think that he did it"
So, Paulsen remarks, there was a
hidden lie in the life OF the great apps
tie Of frankness ana truth. One day
In Munich Ibsen asked Paulsen in the
most concerned way whether he pol
lshsd his own shoes In the morning.
With a feeling Of indescribabls guilt
Paulsen confessed that he didn't.
"But you ought to-" Ibsen urged.
You will feel different man IL you
do. No man should let another do for
him what he can do for himself.
Begin with polishing your shoes and
you win soon come to keeping your
room in order, even to making your
own fires. In this way you win grad.
ually develop into a self reliant man,
Independent of servants and all other
people"
Ibsen was extremely sensitive about
any one finding out the least hint re-
garding any incompleted work that he
had in hand. BE never revealed a
plot an incident or a scrap Of dialogue
until the work was completed.
Once his wife picked from the door
scrap Of paper with the words, 1.-THE
doctor says" upon 1t. She asked her
husband 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 bis wife
showed him the paper and explained
where abe had found II. The play was

Col Barnsdale, a prominent citizen of Pittsburg, was travelling through Indian territory. While strolling around Muskogee he met an old colored woman who seemed to be an interesting character and asked: "Aunty, how many people are there in this city?" The negress consid- cred gravely for a few moments and then said: 'Well, boss, I reckon there's about 25,0OO, including the white folks" Col. Barnsdale says he thereupon saw a first illustration of how much depends upon the view point.
