The Harden Realty company are much

perfect and the new sidewalks and grad

The Ibsen lovers all over the world
are interested in the argument that
is going on In Christiania over the
purchase Of the '1bsen house" Sigurd
Ibsen says that his father never owned
the house and only rented rooms In It,
and he opposes the idea. The citi-
zena. however, know what an attrac-
tioa such a house would have for
tourists and are bent on adding II to
the sights Of the city. And so IL is
that the fire OF genius burned to H.
lumine the mercenary outlook OF the
Nurghers OF the Norwegian city.

Although angling has been and
stin is one Of the chief delights OF
my life, something bitter always arises
when l think of my fishing expert
ences. Taught from my earliest years
to handle rod and throw a fly, it
has, nevertheless, never been my good
fortune to grass really big fish. On
the other hand, some of the greatest
duffers, so far as angling goes,
I have ever known have wiped my
eye" time and again at salmon fishing.
Only year or two since l had a
friend staying with me at Dupplin
Castle, who, to the best of my be-
lief, had never before handled a
salmon rod or any kind Of rod in his
life. But almost at the FIRST cast
IL one could dignity the action by
such a name-he rose, hooked and
eventually grassed lo-pounder. An
other friend, also most Indifferent
fisherman, killed, single-handed. a
splendid fish that went all but SO
pounds. But l, who have given years
to the game. have never seen my
spring balance tally more than q
pounds.

INDIAN WOMAN GOT THE BEAR.
Prodded Him Out with Her Scissors,
Then Tomahawked Him.

As for that grit of women-meaning
Indian women--which has been cele-
brated in well-known book, there IS
story in Fur News which Is good
evidence of their physical courage.
A dealer in skins tells Of a sQuaw
who was walking along on her snow
shoes one day when her small boy
saw bear curled up under the snow
in his winter sleep. She could not kill
him where she was 50 she lashed a
pair Of scissors to a sapling, prodded
him out and smashed his head in with
her tomahawk as he emerged
Il gave her ten dollars for the skin,
writes the dealer, $50 1t was not bad
mornings work. Another ingenious
piece OF hunting that remember was
accomplished by an Indian who found
two moose in a yard-that is, the
snow clearing which the animals
make when the frosts are breaking
up and the snow is too sharp and britt
tie for their comfort
tie crept sRp and cot fho female
with his tomahawE The male was
driven to fury and II was unsafe to eps
prcach him The stroke Of hoof
would put the Indian out Of business
In close order
Having no gun he improvised q
bow and arrow from the trees, stuck a
sharp file into the point Of the arrow
made bowstring with the laces Of his
moccasins and shot the beast through
the heart"

REAL ORIGIN or uMsRELLA.
Defoe Credited with its Introduction
Into England.

In a recent controversy in England
regarding the origin Of the umbrella,
and Defoe's knowledge Of that now
universal article Of wearing apparel" I"
a London writer says this knowledge
may have been acquired in Spain,
which he visited on business. his line
being Spanish and Portuguese goods
long before he wrote Robinson Cru
soe." It is noteworthy that John Mac
donald, a footman, mentions in his
autobiography that he brought his
own silk umbrella from Spain, and
was denounced by the hackney coach
men OF London as Frenchman when
he took his walks abroad with It. De
foe makes Crusoe explain that he has
seen umbrellas made in the Brazils,
where they are useful In the great
heats which are there" and adds, as
a new point. that he found his UNI
brella "as well for the rains as the

lief that long ere this trial had end

that Harry and Evelyn should break
the relationship of matrimony and
that Evelyn should be paid we'll for
her services TO the man.
Had these divorce proceedings
come from Evelyn, the world might
well have taken the view that what
ever love she had for Harry Thaw
had grown dead in her bosom when
she saved his life with her shame.

But Evelyn hasn't, even chirped
about such fear. She has never
once indicated apprehension or
dread of life with Thaw, but has,
on the contrary, been keenly alive
how much money she is to get when
the Thaws get the divorce.
It isn't pleasant to contemplate,
this aftermath of the Thaw trial 1t
doesn't argue for the homely yir-

eczema of a very bad form. He treated
her, but the disease spread to her back,

off. The pain she suffered was excru-
