OUR STOCKHOLM LETTER
A Norwegian Author Gives King Oscar
Some Very Bitter Pills to swallow.
A Liberal Partisan Donor. Canadian
Emigration Agents on Iceland.

SrocKHoLli, May is is93.-LSpeeial. ]
It has been said that Oscar, the present
king OF Sweden and Norway, Is the
most educated monarch Of Europe. a
gentleman from top to bottom" and
generally well liked by other crowned
heads and by his own people. But now
there exists a Norwegian author named
Arue Garborg, and he tells a very
different story, and a remarkable one at
the same time. do not share his
opinion in every respect but ! must
concedc that what he says contains "a
good deal OF truth. Mr. Garborg cx.
presses himself very freely in the Yer.
dens Gang. the organ OF the extreme
Left. ON the position Of the king Of
Sweden. "The position OF King oscar
Is as difficult as Il could be, he says,
"lor he is homeless and rootlcss in
Sweden, as well as Norway. lie has
no foundation to stand on, nothing to
fall back on in either country, and the
Swedish gentlemen do not even respect
the necessary royal dignity They
follow him on bis trips to Norway in
order to see that he may not in some
unguarded momen prove himself more
loyal to Norway than to Sweden. "Ii
the King had been Of Swedish descent
he might have maintained greater m.
dependence, and he would have done
so, TOT Il Is Of no benefit TO his dynasty
to become unpopular in either Kingdom.
n his house had descended from Hn old
Swedish family and had been Identified
with the history Of the people. with Us
great aud dear memories, II would not
have been so much risk for him to sub
iect himself to q short spell OF unpopu.
laity by proper gard for the position
and rights OF Norway. In that case his
house could not have been torn down
by a small storm. But nov he knows
that he is a foreigner in Sweden His
name do not arouse the enthu iasm vi
the people, there Is no halo OF tradition
10 bind the dynasty To- the country. and
he knows that the Swedish noblrmrn
only "a little over eight years ago
bounced king. who was infinitely more
closely identified with sweden than the
Bernadotics can be,
Another point is that his house is so
young In aristocrtIc society this Is
weak point, lie Is surrnunucd by n
national nobility. which u much older.

Alleged Insurance Espionase,

The question of moral hazard receives
more attention from the life insurance
companies than is generally supposed.
Every person applying for policy has his
record and modes of life thoroughly look
ed up by two or three mercantile agencies,
and if there is anything that will not pass
muster he finds his application rejected.
Men whom the general community look
upon as models have found themselves I'M
able to get insurance because of practices
which they thought hidden from the light
of day, but which the sharp eyed detectives
discovered.
After a man has passed this ordeal,
however, the company should honestly as
sumo the burden Of the risk for good or i'll
and not try to throw the party over if it
becomes impaired and likely to prove loss
to the company Yet this is said to be
just what the big life companies do. They
divide the country up in sections, over
each of which is placed man-nominally
an inspector, really detective-whose
business it is to transmit information re-
garding the physical character of the par
ties insured by his company. When he
meets policy holder who is in shaky
health and whom he considers bad risk,
he notifies the home Office, and, curiously
enough, this party gets no notice when his
premium is due.
OF course the object is to have the policy
lapse from the omission of the assured to
pay the premium, and naturally, depend
ing upon the notice from the company
office, he will be very apt to forget that
he has premium due On a certain day

Was woman ever known to blow out
the gas or to be bunkoed by man who
wanted to borrow money to pay freight
bill? Does she ever get her pockets picked
or lose money on a little ''game?" If she
has roll of money with her, does she
ever flash it out when she wants to buy a
cake of chewing gum? Isn't it fact that
she is wiser with money when she is trav-
cling than the men and more to be trust
I'd? Instead of woman having man
nlong to s'protect" her, the daily papers
prove that every man who goes away from
home should have woman to act as a
guardian and keep him from making a
bigger fool of himself than he naturally

Little Pitchers, Etc.

Winifred's mother was talking to her
grandmother. The conversation led her
to relate a little circumstance, but, re-
membering the presence of the child, she
checked herself with the laughing remark
that "little pitchers have large ears.'' A
moment later the little maiden demurely
crossed the floor, and taking small water
pitcher from the table carried it from the
room. Returning, she seated herself with
a triumphant air and said: s'Now, mamma,

THANKSGIVING SERVICES.

The exercises of Thanksgiving Day
were very interesting. There was a
large attendance at the Congregational
church of the First Parish. The pastor,
the Rev. George w. Reynolds, delivered
very able discourse. He said that the
Columbian year had displayed the won
derful prosperity of the country in it's
system of Improvements, in arts, ma
chinery, literature, and everything that
makes a nation great; but at the same
time the country had passed through an
experience of business depression and
financial losses hardly without parallel;
but its recuperative energies would
prove equal to the emergencies. He
said that the power and capacity of men,
tai effort was the source of the marvel
GUS improvements which were every
where manifest, and he illustrated his
subject with facts and logic. A new fea-
ture was introduced, which made the
exercises very attractive. The members
of Gorham Grange, under the leadership
of Mr. and Mrs. George Went worth.
Hon. Frederick Robbie, Miss Nellie White
Miss Mabel Palmer and others decorated
the pulpit and it's surroundings with a
large variety of the products of Gorham
farms. The cereals, vegetables, fruit
and implements of husbandry were well
and artistically arranged, and presented
an attractive appearance. Mr.. Reynolds
was very much pleased and compliment
ed the work and taste of Gorham Grange

came over the street and told them that

dog evidently understood his fate, for
he began to moan and moan as soon as
they took him from the house.

The Perfect Man.

Rev. M. T. Savage, Of Boston, gives his
idea of the perfect man. He will be:
A perfect animal.
A trained, clear seeing, unbiased intel
lect, whose one thirst is for truth.
A taste that sees and appreciates all
beauty.
A heart that loves all lovely things.
A sympathetic beneficence that would
have all men lifted to the highest.
A soul or spirit that recognizes kinahip
with the Eternal Spirit and ever aspires to-
ward q fuller spiritual life.
These all blend in one being, not that he
has these things, but is these. Woman
kind.

THE MOST FERTILE SOIL IN
AMERICA.

What is there in this Alberta, through
which the Canadian Pacific Railway
runs, that it should draw trainloads OF
settlers and settlers effects from Idaho,
Washington and Oregon? The most
fertile soil in America, wood, water, coal
and climate; that is what they say.
This Valley of the Saskatchewan seems
to have been rediscOvered of late by
some Washington and Idaho men, who
kept things dark until they and their
friends had secured locations Immediate
ly around the few depots already erected
when the line was opened. Then they
sent word of what they had found, and
their friends are going in by the score.
The country, they say, is large and good
throughout, and new stations are prom
ised as settlement requires them. Then
Maine, Michigan and Vermont caught
on. and sent up delegates to spy out the
land and report. They gave q practical
answer. They wrote, saying they had
examined the country, had selected To-
cations and were coming home to sell
the old place and 60 where it was worth
while farming. The grain and vegetables
they saw cannot be excelled in North
America, and can be equaled in very few
parts. The cattle, horses and sheep
were rolling fat and standing up to their
knees in rich native grasses. Why was
this not all known before? Because for
generations only the Hudson Bay Com
pany knew it, and they wanted no set
tiers in their fur country; and when
they lost hold of it there was no way of
getting to it. Now two branches of the
Canadian Pacific Railway run through
the richest parts of it.
