KINGS PALACE AND UNIVERSITY AT
~CHR1STIANIA. ..r
The Observation-Disclosures assembled final
~ in the same hall where the constitu-
ton was drawn and adopted-Eidsvolds-
byzningen-on the Goth of May, when
the journals were signed. Thereupon
they formed a circle, the Chain of Broth
erhood, by each member giving his right
hand to his partner on the left, and his
left hand to the one on the right, and in
this position. hand in hand. they shouted:
''Enige os tro, indtil Dovre falder"
In this solemn moment many were
overcome with emotion, and tears were
shed from the bright eyes of these Nor
wegian noblemen that rescued the ma
ton from practical slavery. Their names
will live not only in history, but in the
hearts Of the people-the rich and poor
as long rs Doyre stands.
But the Swede5 would not give up
what they had gained through the
Keller treaty. Carl XIII attacked the
Norwogians, who faced the music bold
ly, but they had to surrender Fredrik-
stad and Frsdrikshald. Sweden needed
peace, however, and it was finally agreed
that Norway should enter into union
with her on the condition that the king,
Carl Johan, should give up his claim in
the Keller treaty ana approve the Nor
wegian constitution.
Christian Fredrik called an extraordi-
nary storthing (congress) for the 18th of
October, which was his last act as king
Of Norway. 1t commenced it's labor
with Sorenskriver Christie as its first
president, and on the Goth it was agreed
that Norway as an independent, self ex-
isting kingdom should enter into union
with Sweden, and that the two nations
should be ruled by the same king. The
constitution was changed accordingly.
and approved in its new form the follow
ing 4th Of November. The form of gov
eminent remained as adopted the 18th of
May.
On TIE 18th Of November, 1914, the
Swedish king, Carl XIII, was unani-
lnously chosen the king Of Norway. The
irst ordinary storthing, in 1916, exc.
cuted the regular act Of the union.
King Carl Johan succeeded Carl XIII
In 1918 when the latter died. His orig
inal name was Jean Baptiste Julius Ber-
nadotte. He was born in France, where
his father was lawyer, enlisted in the
French army in his seventeenth year, and
was promoted to sergeant when the rev.
olution broke out. He distinguished him
self in the war, was raised to the rank Of
general in 1874, and led the French army
in Belgium, at the Rhine and in Italy.
Later he became q marshal Of France
under Napoleon; but there never existed
true friendship between the two. Der
nadotte was chosen Swedish crown prince
ii 1910, and, as stated before, king Of
Norway in 1914.

jenten." His works have been translated
into German, French and English. In
"Fiskerjenten' (the fisher maiden) ap-
pears the following poem:
THE NORTH LAND.
My Lane will / defend, ,.
My lind will l befriend,
And my son to help its fortunes and be faithful
will train;
Its veal shall be my prayer,
And its want shall be my care,
From the rugged old snow mountains to the
cabins by the main.
We have sun enough and rain,
We have fields of golden grain;
But love is more than fortune, or the best Of
sunny weather. '
We have many a child of song,
And sons Of labor strong;
We have hearts to raise the North Land, If they
only beat together.
In many a gallant fight
We have shown the world our might.
And reared the Norsemanfs banner on q van.
pushed strangers shore;
But fresh combats we win brave,
And a nobler flag shall wave,
With more of health and beauty than It ever had
before:
New valor shall burst forth;
For the ancient three-cleft North
Shall unite its wealth and power, yielding thanks
to God the giver!
Once more shall kinsmen near
To their brethren's voice give ear,
and the torrents of the mountains wed their
forces in the river.
For this North Land is our own,
And We love each rock and stone,
rom the rugged old snow mountains to the cabins
by the main; 49,.
And our love shall be the seed .
To bear the fruit we need,
md the country Of the Norseman shall be great
and one again.
Bjornson has by right been called the
Norwegian peoples heart singer.

Telephone lines, owned chiefly by pri-
vate companies, abound in the cities and
rural districts. The University Of Chris
tiania counts over fifty of the most learned
instructors, while it has an attendance
Of nearly 1000 students. The school
system Of the nation has been so i'm
proved under the administration Of Prime
Minister Sverdrup, with the assistance Of
the storthing, that it ranks among the
highest Of Europe. High schools, gov
ernmental and private, are instituted
throughout the whole land, and the Gag
erness with which it's sons and daugh-
tiers seek to attend the institutions and
thus acquire knowledge results in the
fact that Norway today has fewer illit-
crate inhabitants among the young and
middle aged classes than any other nation
on the face Of the globe. The Norwegian
fleet Of merchantmen has till late been
No. 8 in the world.
With the exception of a very few re-
mote districts away back in the valleys
and mountain region, where the old Gus
toms of dressing and modes Of living
have been maintained. the people, as a
whole, dress and live in modern style.
Foreign travellers speak highly of their
cleanliness. The fact that some travellers
in the United States give lectures in
which they paint the Norwegian people
as half civilized and unclean causes the
gravest misrepresentation ever given to
a nation. The sons and daughters of the
Vikings today are, as a result from the
climate and the use, as a rule, of plain
food, healthy. A young Norwegian peas
ant boy, trying his hand in English,
wrote, among others, the following SIM
pie verse about his native land:
Our people are very healthy,
Strong muscles in their wrists;
With roses on their fieshy cheeks,
And courage in their breasts.
Their limpid eyes will tell you
The most about their heart,
For earnest and upright they be,
If not SO very smart.

Norway, the little land of nearly two

The southern and western parts of
Norway constitute n continuous tract

success is doubtless due to unskillful-
ness in handling the gun and beating
the covers, and to the lack of training
in the dogs, but good deal of it can be
explained by the scarcity of chickens
in many localities. According to the
reports brought in by returning hunts
men, the best sport seems to be found
north and west of Minneapolis along
the lines of the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific railroad companies.
Returning Nimrods from the section
covered by those roads, north to the
Canadian line and west to the Dakota,
say that they find plenty of chickens,
although others who have gone over the
same ground have come back without a
bird. Out along the FL. & D. division of
the Milwaukee road. which has been
heretofore a favorite pasture for the
people DESTROYS of feeding upon prairie
chicken, the birds are reported as scarce.
Many hunters who went out to Bird
island and to other points in Renville
county have come back with not enough
game in their bags to make a good sized
pie for dolls party. Further out along
the Fl. & d. birds have been found, but
not In unusually large numbers. Tracy

that gun which cost him $3.50 with the

Then there is the man who has won all

goes out hunting for the first time with
the proud, naughty air of boarding

the experience of that gentleman.
But all men do not meet with these
experiences. Since Thursday morning.

that l captured them.
One may hear just such stories as the
above all over the city now. The man
who told the one here narrated had just
stepped off Great Northern train with
a bag full of chickens. He was telling
what brilliant shot he had made in the
field out in the western part of the
state while chicken hunting. The friend
did not appear to be much
of hunter, but he had some sense.
and was mentally calculating how
many weeks it would take his Nimrodic
companion to become millionaire if he
could only make money as fast as he
could tell lies. But the man who had
made his gun scatter and who killed
the twelve chickens maintained the
truth of his story and thereby proved
his right to be classed as as sports
man.
Hunters are not all liars. but some
large stories are being told. some OF
which are most laughable. All men
who go out hunting, equipped with the
most complete outfit, are not good wing
shots, and some of their work is really
most amusing. Plenty of ''jobs" are
put up on the new men, for hunters

Lumber Notes.


Driving operations on the Mississippi,
according to the Lumberman, are at
tended with difficulties just now, owing
to the low stage of water. Col. Simp-
son, of tbs Mississippi & Rum River
Boom company, estimates that there are
100000 feet of logs between Mime
apolis and the mouth of Swan river. In
all the boom company has about 400
men engaged on the drives. Notwith-
standing the low stage. of water the.
boom company is turning between
100000 and 1850, 900 feet day.
The boom scale of the surveyor gen.
erals office shows that during July the
boom company turned 500, 5S3 logs. seal
ing 53,S73. no feet. These figures show.
the best work of any month during the
past five years. The total scale up to
Aug. l, however. is still behind that of
last year. If the boom turns an average
OF 50,000,00 feet month for the rest of
the season, the aggregate will not ex-
coed the amount last year.

visited by a good many and, in the m ain,
plenty of sport has been found down
there, as we'll as at other points along
the Northwestern road. However, put
ting all reports together, the best hunt
ing seems to be along the Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific northwest
of Minneapolis. The best filled game
bags have come from that direction.
The fields surrounding Morris have con-
tributed a good deal to making the
hunters happy. Benson and the sur
rounding country has also kept several
parties busy with the guns. There is
plenty of good shooting out in Dakota,
but this profits Minneapolis men little,
as the South Dakota game laws prohibit
the carrying of game out of the state.
