Saturday, December 16.
Henrlk Ibsen, who by many Is re
garded as the greatest dramatist now
alive, has become so old that further
work from him Is not to be expected.
Already he has made contributions to
the drama which are Invaluable. His
gospel is the gospel of truth, and no
thinking person thinks of gainsaying
the fact that Ibsen holds the mirror
up to some phases of human nature
more pitilessly than any other writer
for the stagp.

Fortunes Made by Western Sheepmen

Sheep Sold for (2.60 and $2.80 Per

Now that the sheepman Is counting
the cash results of a phenomenal year
the most prosperous In the history
of the trade retrospection and pros-
pectlon are both of interest, says the
Breeders' Gazette.
Fortunes of no small magnitude
have been cleaned up during the past
few months by shrewd speculators,
who had they been operating In
grain or financial circles would hav-
acquired publicity by their success.
Purchases of iOO.OOO head look small
In the light of recent transactions and
most of these sheep have been turned
over at a profit of 50 cents to $1 per.

Naturally the views of these opera
tors on trade prospects are worth
consideration. At the same time they
are difficult to secure. While the
speculator has had a profitable sea
son he Is seriously concerned regard
ing the future.
Growers are aroused to the situa
tion and Incensed that a lion's share
of the year's profits has gone Into the
strong box of the man who had suf
ficient foresight to risk his money
on the phenomenal appreciation that
has made the sheepman the envy of
those operating In other branches of
the livestock trade. That it has been

Unknown Person Lcavca Infant at
Walla WaUa Hospital.
A little baby boy only a few hours
old was left by some unknown person
at St. Mary's hospital about midnight
Sunday night, and no trace has been
found of those responsible for his
coming Into the world or for his un
ceremonious entrance Into tho hospi
tal, says the Walla Walla Union. He
was cozlly wrapped In some blankets
and shut up in a valise, presumably
for the purpose of being easily car
ried without attracting attention on
the street
The person who left the little being
in the hospital quietly opened the door
of that Institution at about midnight,
set the valise Inside and gave the
doorbell a vigorous ring for the pur
pose of attracting the attention of
some of the nurses or attendants, and
beat a hasty retreat.
The little fellow was scarcely able
to make himself heard by his cries, so
close was It In the- grip, and had not
the bearer of the strange burden
taken care to ring the bell the little
mite of humanity might have remain
ed unnoticed and unheard for several
hours, and eventually perished from
suffocation.
The good Bisters have arranged to
take care of the new arrival until
some proper person comes along and
desires to adopt It. giving it a name
and a home.
Just at present the youngster Is as
much at sea In regard to both a first
and last name as some newly born
are for a given name. If no one ap
pears with urt offer of adoption the
sisters will probably arrange to bring
him up to the best of their ability and
select some name that he will be
known by through life.
