INCIDENTS IN IBsEN's LIFE.

While at Bergen, Ibsen fell a little
in love with a 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 nc
hero, and incontinently fled, leaving
the girl to explain as best she might
It was to her that the poem "Flow-
ers of the Wood" was written.
As a young man Ibsen was by
no means certain of his vocation
Until he was thirty-two he believed
himself to be born for painting. IL
fact, fairly large exhibition might
be got together of the canvasscs
painted by Ibsen in the days of his
early manhood, and scattered now
through the farmhouses and country
villas of Norway. He remained al
his life profoundly interested in art
and his judgments of ancient anc
renaissance art in Italy are always
original.
Of Raphael he said: raphael
art has never warmed me. His be
ings belong to the Garden of Edel
before the fall"

SINGERS AT DAWN.

In her ideal American novel, era
MONA" Helen Hunt Jackson tells us
of beautiful custom practiced by
the Spanish-American Catholics OF
California in this wise:
"At the first dawn of light, the
Oldest member of the family rose
and began singing hymn familiar
to the household. It was the duty
of each person hearing it to immedi-
ately rise, or at least sit up in bed,
and join in the singing. In few
moments the whole family would be
singing, and the joyous sounds pour
ing out from the house like the mu-
sne of the birds in the field at dawn.
The hymns were usually invocations
to the Virgin or to the saint OF the
tlaw. and the melodies were sweet
and simple"
BEGINNING the new day with a
song nm the heart, it is easier to fol-
low the advice of Froebel, who said
eECome, let us live with our children
so shall their lives bring peace and
ioy to us; SO shall we begin to be-
and to become wise. The House

Perciival's Interest
In Horticulture

By ADELE MENDEL

"Percival, what do you find so un.
usual and singular about that tree:
You scrutinize it as if you had not
seen it every day for the last ten
years." asked Percival's sister Hazel.
'It just flashed upon my mind
that those branches need trimming"
didn't you want the whole tree
chopped down to make room for the
tennis court? I thought that you
mentioned something about it before
you went west"
ooh, I've changed my mind since
I met Annie Alliston. Why she
used to live in this very house when
she was child. Her father died
and the family moved away. She
was most interested to find / came
from her home town. Wanted to
know all about the people here, who
married who. Made me describe the
house infinitely. What color it was
painted; who occupied her room,
and last but not least she confessed
how she loved that old tree under
which she used to play with he1
dolls. I never realized how much ]

Just as Hazel was about to leave

VEGETABLE WHITEWAsH.

When travelling through the rural
districts of Uruguay ones attention
is attracted to the fine white color
of the farm buildings, even during
the wet season, says the Daily Con-
sular and Trade Reports. 10 obtain
this neat effect a whitewash is used
which is made with the sliced leaves
of the common cactus, macerated ID
water for "a hours, producing So
luton of creamy consistence; to this
lime is added and well mixed. When
applied to any surface, be it OF wood,
brick, iron or other material, a beau
tiful pearly white appearance IS pro
duced which will endure through
storms and frosts for many years.
In sections of the United States
where the cactus is nuisance the
plant might be utilized in the man
ner suggested.

much," directed Hazel, thinking,
Certainly it isn't necessary to stay
home to watch that man."
Hazel was much disturbed upon
her return to meet her brother, who
looked as distressed, excited and an
CRY as it was possible for young
man to appear. "Hazel, in heavens
name-theres nothing but the roots
of that tree left. The old imbecile
bungler chopped it down How
could it have happened? I'll have
that brute arrested! Aimee loved
that tree and I believed she loved
me bcause I loved it too"
ooh! Percival, it's all my fault.
I'm SO sorry"
81 should think you would be.
Annie will never believe that tree
ever stood there since we moved here.
She'll think Pm deliberate de-
ceiver, liar and everything in the
category of deceit. If that stun Il
old oak was only standing there, I Z
give every cent I possess, or expe :
to earn"
sWhy not have another one plant
ed in its placer suggested Hazel.
"Great, immense! 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, was appointed
delegation of one to meet YOU"

loving glance.
II hope your hope will come

tenderly on his shoulder.
AS they neared the house Annie
spied the tree, which seemed to be
waving its leaves to welcome her.
sThat dear old tree has been watt

ing out of the car, she ran toward it.
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

two lovers under the green canopy

PUBLICITY
BUREAU
Will Guide Settlers To
Lands In Northern Min
neSOta

Northern Minnesota is to have
an advanced outpost at its princi-
pal gateway at Minneapolis to look
after its interests and direct immi-
grafton this way. L. B. Arnold OF
Duluth, has returned from st.
Paul, where he attended the meet
ing of the immigration commission
of the Northern Minnesota Devel-
opment association, which was ap-
pointed last June at the meeting in
Duluth. The commission has de-
cided upon permanent publicity
bureau, to be located at Minneap-
oils, and it will include magnifi-
cent display of Northern Mime
sofa products. w. R. Mackenzie,
secretary of the Northern Mime
sofa Development association, will
be in charge, and will be the first
Northern Minnesota immigration
agent.
The committee as appointed con-
sisted of w. A. McGonagle, Du-
1uth, chairman; Dan Shaw, Thief
River Falls; P. H. Konzen, Hal
lock; c. M. Sprague, Sank Centre;
John Rundquist, Grasston; A. G..
Wedge, Bemidji; L. B. Arnold
Duluth; ]. P. Foote, Crookstoh.
The resignation of Mr.. McGonagle
as chairman was received at the
meeting and Commissioner Shaw,
of Thief River Falls, was elected
in his place. In addition to the
members of the commission are W..
R. Mackenzie, of the Development
association, and David Teney of
Minneapolis, representing several
lumber companies with cut over
lands for sale in Northern Mime
sofa.
1t was decided to raise fund of
$12, 900, with which to maintain an
Office in Minneapolis for one year,
and in which to keep a large dis
play. From this Office settlers will
be directed to the various districts,
a plan having been worked out by
which this will be accomplished
with fairness to the various Sec
tions.
For the maintenance of this blu.
reau funds will be solicited from
all persons and interests having
lands for sale in the northern par
of the state. David Teney and L
B. Arnold were appointed an audit
ing committee to make monthly
audit of the expenditures of tn,
bureau and quarterly reports O
the activities will be sent to al
subscribers, large or small, to tn,
fund. In this way every contrib
utor will be kept thoroughly il
touch with the work being done.
1t is expected that all the vari
Gus interests in Northern Mime
sofa lands will contribute. TIL
.$12. 900 desired, it is estimated
would be reached with a contribu
ton of one-quarter cent per acr
on the agricultural lands. TIL
undertaking will be tried out TO
the first year, and, if successful, i
is hoped to increase the fund ant
broaden its activities. ,
Northern Wisconsin has secured
a fund of 100000 per year for tn,
next five years by a voluntary
acreage contribution, and Nortl
Dakota has started similar un
dertaking. Northern Minnesota i
now making trial, which if sue
cessful, will warrant going aheac
next year on scale equal to tina
of her neighbor states.
All interested in the welfare o.
Northern Minnesota are expected
to cooperate, and the new burea,
has the endorsement and will work
in hearty accord with State Immi
grafton Commissioner WEIGH an6
