The man that would have been his when he Lecame Be it known that the family of Erbach is a “mediatized” family, the members enjoy equality of birth with all the royal families of Europe. Their rank has been held sacred by them, every male and female ancestor of the present count since back in the tealh century has bien of noble birth. Mesalliances have history, but children of such unions have been debarred from the succession. Up to his eighteenth year the count who has Just wedded a washerwomam, was kept in guarded seclusion, reared in full belief in the family greatness, had dinned into his ear the duties incumbent upon him as eldest son of the reigning count. He knew what happened to an Erbach that married a woman of low degree. At the.age mentioned, Lhe heir was sent to complete his education at the University of Bonn, and here learned that there were others in the world besides the Erbachs, was given a wider outlook on life, doubtless lost some reverence for Erbach traditions One day whilst at home on a vacation and out for a ride on the family estate, he came upon a beautiful young peasant girl. He found her as Intelligent and honest as she was fair; he fell hopelessly in love, persisted in courtship. The girl's father thrashed him—npot dreaming the young man, too, was honest: his father thrashed him; family and associates boycotted him. The love oul- lasted years, outlasted persecution; the other day Count Francis and Anna Schultz ran away to England and were married by ring and book. HENRIK IBSEN It Is hard to belleve the wonderful, uncon- querable personality could be conquered even by mortal illness itself, that the invincible old Nor- wegian, after such bitter, strenuous, immensely successful struggles, must at last be laid low by the reaper. But let us not speak of death, let us speak of life and force. Back in 1866 Ibsen said: *1 will and shall have a victory some day.” And when the victory came, & victory beyond his dreams he was hum- bly “grateful to be understood.” Ibsen is named one of the greatest literary men of the time, great poet and dramatist. He was born at Skien, Norway, 77 years ago, of German stock on his mother's side, some Danish blood from his father. In his youth he was clerk to an apothecary for awhile, and later began the study of medicine at the University of Christiania. He wrote when not at his studies, and the success of one of his productions led him to give up medicine for the drama Ap- pointed stage manager at Bergen, presently he won renown in Scaudinavia by his series of national dramas Five years he served as director of the Nor- weglan theater at Christiania, but his management brought the theater to bankruptcy. After this fallure he petitioned the strothing for the poet's pen- slon, which was finally granted him. Embittered by the failure, by the polit- ical situation in 1864, he exiled himself from Norway, lived abroad ten years. In 1891 he returned to Christiania, that city became his home. In 1899 a bronze statue of Ibsen was placed before the National theater; on the occasion of his seventieth birthday he received presents and greetings from all over the world. Ibsen's dramatic work at first was romantic, then historical then we have the social satires. and the later pyschological work. When the work “Ibsen- ism" ia used, reference is made to the last nhase THE FRENCH PRESIDENT President Loubet had repeatedly refused to Le considered a candidate to succeed himself; it is ob- viously unnecessary to say that he had been re- peatedly urged to succeed himseM Sincere regret Is voiced at his retirement, on the sudden death of his predecessor the national assembly elected him on the first ballot. As a president Loubet has not been’exactly a Roosevelt but France would scarcely know what to do with a Roosevelt. Ho has conquered hatred and preju dice, closes his presidency with dignity and pres- tige. ’ Some newspaper man remarks that his term Is ending In a blare of glory. ‘Sovereigns have honored him. and the position of France, thanks to the friendly understanding with England, the greatly improved relations with Italy and Spaln, and the spparently undiminished financial strength of ber thrifty population, Is better than in a gen eration.” Under his administration the republic has been strengthened, the monarchists seem to have disappeared. A GREAT NEWSPAPER MAN " An authority on things Russian, Dr. Dillon's | name has been signed to numerous recent news paper and magazine articles of wide publicity Dr. Dilion has lived In Russ.a 25 years, Is married to a Russian lady, Is a personal friend of many Russians of note. He is a man of rare ability and rare opportunities, eminently fitted for his high place In journalism. Dr. Dillon is an Irishman—it would seem that nowadays to be markedly successful one must be either Jew or Irish. His education was begun in Dublin; he continued studles at various European universities. Dr. Dillon is a scholar of renown as well as a journalist; a friend says he Is by na- ture scholar and philosopher. And when we add that the scholar is a man of unusual physical cour age, a bold adventurer, we surely have a picture of a most interesting personality, Let us speak of Dr. Dillon as war correspond. ent, of his noteworthy work in this field. He visited China after the Boxer Iinsarrection, which visit led to some plain speaking in regard to the conduct of the troops of the allies; and American and European was called upon to squirm. He was In France during the Dreyfus agitation. Disguised as a monk he worked his way into Crete with the Insuregents, at no fnconsiderable risk. He was in Spain before and during the Spanish-American war, saw Weyler and his work. The sultan refused permission for him to go to Armenia in 1895, but he entered the country In disguise, traveled about as a Cossack offi- cer, a native woman, a Kurd chiel—observed first-hand the atrocities, gave rellef where he could, sent forth reports that stirred the world, In Armenia he was poisoned once, several times barely escaped with his life. BELOVED MARK TWAIN Mark Twain was 70 years old the last day of November—Thanksgiving day this year. And ke gave us a Thanksgiving sermon In the true Twaln fashion, the three-score-and-ten arrival has not dimmed the luster of his wit or weakened the sureness of his aim. He hits as straight from the shoulder as ever, and with as hard a blow, Mark Twain's new book, “Editorial Wil Oa's,"” tells the story of his carly wanderings from printing office to printing office; In mind's eyo we see him at the case In Hannibal, at Keokuk, Mus. catine, St. Louls. And then comes "Noo York." But the great city does not hold the wanderer, back again west be travels to the river his name is to immortalize. He plays pilot til] the break- ing out of the war, enters Lhe confederate army, plays soldier for the short period of two weeks— in Twain fashion he explains the briefness of his service—he became overfatigued In constant re. treating. Next he becomes private secrelary for his brother, newly appointed secretary of the territorial government of Nevada, the private secretary hay- ing “nothing to dF asd no salary,” But the impressions gathered here are later to bring him fagse. Whilst idling In the far west, heé acts as correspond. ent for the New York Tribune and Alta California, picks up a precarious liy- ing by means of his journalistic work. In 1869 “Innocents Abroad” is published, and presently there ia no fur ther need for newspaper pot-bollers, the book bringing anthor and publisher each a goodly fortune. Then come those other classics —" Roughing It.” “Tom Sawyer “"Huek’ Find" —everybody knows the list. Then comes the arduous round-the-world leclure trip to pay the debt of honor, Now Is the unencum- bered old age. Old age and Mark Twain! Banish the thought! N.L. TOWNER, M.D. E. WN.
