INCIDENTS IN IesEh'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 lA1y's father, who had no respect for an impecunious poet Ibsen, like Goethe, was no hero, and incontinsnt}y fed, leaving the girl to explain as bet 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 wns thirty-two he believed himself to be born for painting. In fact, 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 falrnhouses 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- ngs belong to the Garden of Eden before the fall.S

LEAD POSTMASTER IN
SEVERE ATTACHMENT
OF MODEL YOUNG man
Money Order Clerk Shea and
His Manipulation of Post
Office Accounts.

lead, S. D., Feb. 1.-THE Lead Car,
whose editor is postmaster and who
has just been called on to put up n
shortage in the money order depart
ment Of his office of $4,000, for which
Clerk Ray Shea is under arrest, com
ments on the incident as follows:
while the shortage of Ray Shea's
former department at the ~postoffice
has been made up, 1t was done with
out the slightest assistance from
that model young man, and, so far a.
is known, without the slightest effort
on his part to keep an innocent man
from bearing the entire burden of Il
loss for which he alone was responsible.
Much sympathy has been expressed fof
Shea by friends OF his who have been
convinced of his innocence by his as
sertions to that effect, but those who
have investigated the records thor
oughly, and have held long sessions
with Shea in an attempt to get somo
reasonable explanation from him, arc
convinced that he is az consummate a
f~alsifier and hypocrite as ever posed
before the public as a model while Sc
cretly betraying trust.
Yesterday Shea declared that he had
been expecting an investigation for
some time, but while he was frequently
asked by the postmaster regarding his
department before the investigation be-
gan, ne always asserted that every
thing was all right, despite the fact
that he was forcing balances, writing
in any sum he happened to need. a
letter from the department regarding
shortage was suppressed by Shea SO
that the visit of the inspector to begin
the investigation was a surprise to the
postmaster, and in fact to the entire
force, with the exception Of Shea
shea, who has always posed as the
only truly good young man In the vi
cinity, and has been pointed out as the
model for the youths OF the city-Such
a nice young man!'--one who did not
smoke, chew, swear or indulge in any
beverage stronger than milk and water,
admits classifying his records, forcing
his balances, deceiving the postmaster
and deputy by declaring to them that
everything was straight in his depart
ment, but is a. the same time protest
ing his innocence of any wrong doing
What would constitute wrong doing In
his mind, or what serves him in that
capacity, would be difficult to deter
mine. II ~falsifying government records.
betraying trust, leaving an honest man
who had every reason to expect fair
treatment at his hands to shoul-
der unaided the burden Of his short
ages constitutes upright conduct to
him, his moral obliquity is of a sort
that ought to entitle him to a period
of seclusion under a warden, and 1t
looks very much as though he would
receive it."
