INCIDENTS IN IBSEN'S LIFE.

While at Bergen, Ibsen fell a little in love with pretty girl, who used to bring the young poet flowers from the wood. One day, while walking with her, the pair were suddenly met by the young lady's father, who had no respect for an impecunious poet. Ibsen, like Goethe, was no hero, and incontinently fled, leaving the girl to explain as best she might. It was to her that the poem Flow CTS of the Wood" was written.
 As young man Ibsen was by no means certain of his vocation. Until he was thirty-two he believed himself to be born for painting. In fact, a fairly large exhibition might be got together of the canvasses painted by Ibsen in the days of his early manhood, and scattered now through the farmhouses and country villas of Norway. He remained all his life profoundly interested in art, and his judgments of ancient and renaissance art in Italy are always original.
 Of Raphael he said: 'Raphael's art has never warmed me. His be- ings belong to the Garden of Eden before the fall"

RICHES FROM THE WEST.

Nearly third of a billion dollars was added to the wealth of the Unit ed States from the mineral produc- ton of the western states during 1910, according to the figures of the United States geological survey. This includes about $66,O0o,0O0 worth of coal, the remaining produc- tion, principally metals having a value of practically quarter of a billion dollars. The total figures of western mineral production as con- piled by the survey are $313,944,SS1. This is about one-fourth the total agricultural production of the same area, the proportion between min- eral and agricultural production be- ing about the same as for the entire United States. The agricultural production of the western states, de- rived from figures of the department of agriculture, was approximately 1894, ,791, ,000. The area consid- cred includes the belt from the Da- kotas south to Texas and the terri tory westward.

 "Oh! Percival, it's all my fault. I'm so sorry"
 "I should think you would be. Annie will never believe that tree ever stood there since we moved here. She'll think Pm a deliberate de- ceiver, a liar and everything in the category of deceit. If that sturdy old oak was only standing there, I'd give every cent l possess, or expect to earn.'
 "Why not have another one plant ed in its placer" suggested Hazel.
 Great, immensel I'll send the man to the woods tomorrow to fetch one."
 A few days later, when Percival met the "only girl in the world for him" at the depot he said, Jump into my automobile, l was appointed a delegation of one to meet you"
 "Oh! It will be lovely to take a little ride with just you. The depot is so new, nothing looks familiar Pm crazy to see our old home once again"
 "Your old home is going to be your new home some day, hope," he said, giving her one lingering, loving glance.
 q hope your hope will come true," she said, placing her hand tenderly on his shoulder.
 As they neared the house Annie spied the tree, which seemed to be waving its leaves to welcome her.
 ''That dear old tree has been wait- ing for me all these years" Jump ing out of the car, she ran toward 1t. Standing under the branches, she looked like some pure white flower. Percival could not resist the temp tation to kiss her.
 ''I'm so glad," she whispered, as the moon above smiled upon the two lovers under the green canopy, "that our first kiss is under my dear old tree. It makes 1t so sacred, Per- ciyal," she said. "Am 1 the only girl you ever kissed under the pro- -ecting shadows of this tree?"
 "I can swear to you by all that I consider holy that you are the only sweetheart I've had as long as that tree is standing there" answered the young man, ''and my love, like the oak, will stand for years to come, hardy, firm and strong"

AN ODlOUS COMPARISON

An article has been going the rounds of the Alaska papers captoned C0nrastng Policies" It has been given various credits but to have originated with the Seat tie Hines The stranges thing about it is that it appears to have been reprinted with approval of it's sentiments.
 The contrast treated of is between the policy of the United States toward the natives and the white folk of Alaska and the kick in because the aborgines looked after with faherly than accorded the paefaced chechacoes.
 It is such comparisons these and the painive pleas tor lteal favor coupled onto them that furnish the degrading and disgusting feature of the literature of the day about Alaska. Negect of Alaska is the cry while there is no neglect. Msdirected attention is erywhere and they may make lnuns of us all yet God forbid that the transformation shall be of seeking
 Right now it is not far stretch of the ina gination from the natives who look to the missionaries fer salvation and the government for guidance and grub to those whites who depend visiting cabinet officers, personal represent aves of the President and agents of departments for the development of the country and the promotion of their fortunes.
 Seriously the thing most devoutly prayed for by white people in Alaska is chance to work their destiny in their way. Considerable development has already taken place in the territory, and it pshed by people who got out where they could dig and build and construct according to their ideas and their

Big Suit Decided Against N. 6.

The district court at Fairbanks, in a suit brought by the government, re- gently decreed that the Northern Com mercial Company must pay a tax of 10 cents on every ton of goods landed on the dock for others than the com pany from 1905 to 1911, inclusive. A referee was named to take proof as to the nnmber of tons subject to the tax
 The amount involved will reach close to $l00,000 The principal point at is sue was whether or not the wharf used by the company is public or private.
 A similar case is pending against the N. A. T. & T. Co.,, and the decision is equally effective against that concern. The case will doubtless be appealed.
