the schoolhouse to raise money for the
library. The girls bake the pies, and
always put on the packages some dis,
tinguishing mark.
On the way TO the social the girl
will whisper to her sweetheart: '1ts
the one wrapped In white tissue paper
and tied with pink ribbons" Then it's
I'D to sweetheart.
When the package In white tissue
paper and pink ribbons is held up by
the auctioneer he bids SO heavy that
the other boys understand aud keep
raising the bid until the auctiOneer
Nled with pity, calls time and knocks
the pie down TO the financially ruined

BY MARTIN w. oDLAND.
Denmark.

According to Swedish newspapers
which have recently arrived In Amer
lea the Nobel prize In literature for
this year will be given by the Swedish
academy to the two Danish authors,
Henrik Pontoppidan and Carl Gjeller-
up. Both were born in 1857 and have
probably done their best work. In
speaking Of Henrik Pontoppidan, an
American writer says: "He Is a CEN
trail figure Of the Danish literature Of
today, position acquired by his vast
knowledge OF human nature and his
thorough acquaintance particularly
with the cultural and spiritual move
ments of Denmark during the last CEN
tury. OF Viking blood, he longed in
his youth for foreign countries, he
walked from Denmark through central
Europe to Switzerland, supporting
himself all the time by different kinds
of work. On his return to Denmark
he felt the narrowness Of Danish high
society, and he expressed his feelings
in series Of books, the first published
In 1881. Among his most prominent
works is the novel tIilogy. "Det For
jettede Land" IA melancholy satire
over the power of high and beautiful
words to fool and conquer the mind
of mankind. The subject Of the book
Is the dream OF liberty and happiness,
inspired by the movement for popular
education In Denmark, started by y.
Grundtwig. In another book. Den
Gamle ADAM" he ironizes the fancies
of love and In "Skyer' the empty po-
litical slogan. A series OF small sto-
ries from rural Denmark depict cOun-
try life In a truly realistic way. Pom
toppidan's last important work, fin
ished recently, is novel cycle OF 1.3OO
pages. comprising five volumes; TOR
bern og Jytte," "Storeholt," "Toldere
og Syndere," "Enslevs bod" and "Fay-
singholm." With reference to Karl
Gjellerup. the same writer says that
he Is both scientist and author. In his
early youth he expressed atheistic
ideas and fought against the theology
Of the clergy in several books as Zen
Idealist" and "Det nye Danmark." In
the great novel "Brynhild," influenced
by Richard Wagner, he leaves the the
illogical discussion and advocates that
great personality forms his OWL
laws. The modern novels "Minna'
and Molten" published In 1889 and
1896. are considered the best works
Of Gjellerup. Among his other works
may be mentioned Herman vandel,
"Wuthhorn" and requiem over
Charles Darwin, "Aander og Tider."
Though his style often seems little
chilly, Influenced by his scientific
knowledge, he has deep-seated and
original idealism. As his compatriot
Kierkegaard scourged the state
church, he has criticized the conven'
tional marriage.

Dispatches from London bring the
interesting news that IN unpublished
play by Henrik Ibsen will soon be
presented on the London stage and
will be published simultaneously in
England and America. Austin Fryers
states that the play, which is entitled
the Realities" was given to him by
Ibsen. in order to show his apprecia-
ton of Mr.. Flyers play "Beata," which
was founded on Ibsen's "Rosmer-
sholm." That was in 1892. Mr.. Fry
ers further states that he considers
"Realities" the most dramatic Of all
Ibsen plays, and that "Ghosts" was In
tended merely as a prolog to 1t. The
announcement has resulted In con-
troversy over the authenticity Of IRE
alities." william Archer, Ibsen's BIZ
ographer and translator, declared
that he knew absolutely nothing
of such play, and was very skeptical
about It. Mr.. Fryers retorted that
the play was In Ibsen's own hnndwrit-
