soon be in better condition. r.
The foremen Of the companies also
asked the board to permit the house of
Company No. 2 to be removed to the
vacant lot by Mr.. Yowell's store and to
appoint some citizen to look after the
fire plugs twice month and to- take
care of the apparatus after each; fire
and put it in condition for immediate use
The board granted both requests and
told the fire boys that they would APP
point anyone they (the foremen) might
mention. The boys named John McFar-
lane and the board appointed him at a
salary of $50 per month. =
The appointment is good one as Mr..
McFarlane knows the location Of each
plug and knows how to keep them in
order. ~"
The INDEPENDENT congratulates
Foremen Miller; and Castle in taking the
condition of the fire department up with
the commissioners and congratulates
the board on its quick response to their
appeal. ..... u
If Mr.. McFarlane should fail in his
duties, the writer will consider it a
favor to be given the facts attending his
failure. We will then try to wake him
up.

THE REAL RISEN
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4,


 him stroke his whiskers and sip brandy and soda at f1ve-minute intervals. The vulgar vain, foolish old man had bec<me d venerable giant forging a masterpiece in absolute solitude. Suddenly he would shut himself up to write. He would see no one answer no communications. NO eloistered monk was more isolated from the moving world than Henrik Ibsen when the fever of composition was upon him. He ate, slept, lived alone.
 Asked why he followed the life of a hermit while he was working upon new production, Ibsen replied with characteris- tic terseness: 'I am living with my char acters at such times. They have form and life They talk with me; they dine with me. They are near me all the time. I write down their conversations, their thoughts. My work comes along very fast. I never have to erase line. have thought out the plot in my mind; know the play from the first scene to the last, even the dialogue, and it Is only neees- sary for me to write it out as quick as possible During this time 1 am not Hen rik Ibsen. l do not live in Norway nor in the world. My existence is apart from life, in a sphere of my own creation peo- pled by beings of my own creation"
 Thus lived the real Ibsen, two-sided man of letters and the drama, one all frills and foppery. vain, supercilious, childish: the other the thinker, the work CT. the genius The question was put to 1bsen whether he favored certain social institution common to Germany and France and about to be adopted by the Norwegfans. q favor it?'' he cried, Il? I am in favor of nothing, l have no rem edies to suggest. My plays are not doc trinary They tried to read strange, new meanings in my Peer Gynt.' They looked for problems where there were none. Peer Gynt' as a gigantic picture of presented in epitome; it Is youth, ambi- ton, love, old age, truth-the greatest thing I have done. It will be my monu- ment when l am gone; it will live after me-"
 Time seems to be bearing out the prophecy of this foremost writer of his Peer Gynt' as gigantic picture of human life and emotions and the critics are agreed that in this wondrous specta- cle of ever changing existence by the lit tle old man of Christiania the stage has a work of consummate art the like of which has not been produced since shakespeares day.

Mrs. Mary Padeett Dies.

Greenville, April 7.-(Special. )-Mrs. Mary Reid Padgett died yesterday at the home of her son, James H. Dunklin, where she had been very i'll for some time. The funeral was conducted at the resi- denee this afternoon and interment made at the old cemetery. which had been the family burying ground for a great many years Mrs. Padgett was a daughter of MT. and Mrs. Archie M. Reid, who were among the early settlers of this county She was CT years of age, beautiful type of womanhood, gentle and refined and de- voted to her family and her home. She had been a consistent member of the Methodist church since her early girl hood and the funeral service was con- ducted by the pastor, the Rev. W. O. Waggener, who paid a touching and beau tiful tribute to her life and character

of animals but the most remarkable of all these is the egg-eating snake. And this because, to avoid smashing the shell and spilling the contents during the pro- cess of swallowing, it has, metaphoricallv speaking, first swallowed it's teeth and fastened these along its backbone, con- irving so that their points shall pene- trate the gullet. The egg can thus be swallowed whole, and when just under the teeth the body Is gently raised and brought suddenly earthward again, so that the teeth thereby pierce the shell of the egg and liberate the precious con- tents. Soon after the she'll squeezed such as is made by the owl and some other birds.
 The starfsh, the octopus, and the skuay gull feed by strategem; but of these three the starfish is easily first in the aston ishing method adopted in devouring it's prey. This creature is a deadly foe to oysters and mussels. Raising its body upon the tips Of its arms to form kind Of tent enclosing the victim, the shell Is slowly pulled open by the action of the innumerable suckers; and as soon as this feat Is accomplished the ghou1ish creature forces it's stomach out of it's body through it's mouth, and slowly en- velops the coveted and luscious morsel
 The octopus plays a waiting game. He sits down beside oyster, holding a stone at the end of one of his suck-be ing arms. Sooner or later the intended victim gasps-when hey, presto the arm is shot out and the stone lodged between the valves-dissolution speedily follows
 The skua also plays a waiting game, for he always waylays gulls on their way home to roost after supper, and, giving chase, speedily compels them to disgorge their late meal, and, plunging downward, catches it before it reaches the water
