DENMARK'S PAVILION
AN INTERESTING EXHIBIT AT THE
COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.

Relics of Hans Christian Andersen-Hon-

Denmark-The warlike Brick and Nor

Denmark is taking q cheerful interest in
the Columbian exposition Notwithstanding
the fact that her people think Left Erik
son aud not Columbus is entitled to the
credit of the original discovery of this
continent. Her pavilion in the Manu-
features building is interesting in itself
and for what it contains It's graceful
spires and noble portal are enthusiastically
beautiful and imposing. The lavish dis
play of pictures on the exterior walls is
somewhat peculiar, but detracts little if
anything from the effect of the whole
A bronze statue of Hans Christian An
dersen stands in front of one of the wings,
and back of it is reproduction of his
study, the room in which he passed the
greater part of his time and where he died.
The furniture is that which he used-his
writing desk, bookcase, sofa table and stove
and even the pictures on the wall, while
there are any number of interesting relics
connected with him personally or associated
with his name. His & t, penknife, hand

THE LITTLE ARMCHAIR.

Nobody sits in the little armchair;
II stands In a corner dim,
But white haired mother gazing there
And yearningly thinking of him
Sees through the dusk of the long ago
The bloom Of her boys sweet face
As he rocks so merrily TO and fro
With a laugh that cheers the place.
Sometimes he holds book in his hand,
Sometimes pencil and slate,
And the lesson is hard to understand,
And the figures hard to mate,
But she sees the nod of his fathers head,
SO proud of the little son,
And she hears the word so often said,
mo fear for our little one"
They were wonderful days, the dear, sweet
days,
When q child with sunny hair
Was hers to scold, to kiss and to praise
At her knee in the little chair.
She lost him back In the busy years
When the great world caught the man,
And he strobe away past hopes and fears
To his place In the battles van.
But now and then in wistful dream,
Like picture out of date,
She sees head with golden CLEAN
Bent over pencil and slate.
And she lives again the happy day,
The day Of her young LIES spring,
When the small armchair stood just in the
way,
The center Of everything.

Andersens statue, like that of the sculp-
tor Thorwaldsen, which ornaments the OPP
posite wing of the pavilion, was cast in
Copenhagen, and efforts are being made to
retain it in Chicago. Thorwaldsens has
already been secured by New York city
and will be set up in Central park after the
exposition closes. Miniature reproductions
of some of the great sculptor's famous
works are on exhibition and the celebrated
painting of him by Horace Vernet in ex-
change for which Thorwaldsen modelled
statue of the artist.
An equestrian statue of King Christian,
about 3 feet high and made of gold and
silver, is one of the first things to attract
attention after visitor enters the pavil-
ion. If one may judge from it, the father
of the Princess of Wales is a fine looking
old gentleman and rides good horses.
A corner room in the interior of the pa
viion is called the Erikson room and is de-
voted to mementos, chiefly reproductions
of primitive sketches and furniture of Left
the Lucky 1.-The first discoverer of Amer
ica." The walls are covered with pictures
of the voyages of this hardy explorer, and
one of them represents him as landing on
the shore of Ninland in the year $50, Vim
land being supposed to be the present state
of Massachusetts

works at Copenhagen, both for table and

famous Ipsen pottery-few nations have as
interesting exhibits of progress in these
particular branches of industrial art. An
illustration of the system of manual train
ing in Danish schools is given with all
the details in a miniature reproduction of a
school. pupils, tools and everything neces-
sary to show the work.

From Beggary to Wealth.

Simon Oppasich, millionaire who has
been sentenced in Vienna TO seven years
hard labor for repeatedly perjuring him
self, was born without feet or arms. His
father and mother were professional
beggars, and in his twelfth year he was
put on the street by them to solicit aims.
His physical defects brought him an ex-
ceptional amount of sympathy and
guldens. He saved his money. and in
1890, at the age of Al, he had accumula-
ted 100000. With this sum he began
business as usurer and real estate specu-
lator. In 1888 he had increased his for
tune to 1926, 900 in cash, and some $780,
900 in Trieste and Parenzo real estate.
Since then he has quadrupled his wealth
by trading on the Boerse. His miser-
illness led to his present troubles.
He had promised to marry woman,
but eventually threw her over to avoid
mourning the expense of a wedding.
When she threatened him with legal
proceedings, he bought her forbearance
for cents day. This expenditure was
impoverishing him, he told her after
few months, and so he discontinued it.
In the trial of the case which she then
made against him he swore that he had
never contemplated marrying her, had
never promised to do so, and had never
paid her A cents day. After all this
had been proved false, he was tried and
condemned for perjury.-Boston Jour

KANSAS PoPULIsTs BEATEN.

All the Contested Cases Decided In Favor OF
the Republicans, Who Now Have the House.
TOPEKA. Kan., Jan. 5.-The mandamus
cases are at an end and the Republicans
have scored q victory over the Populsts
on every point at Issue. The court has
fully decided thas it has not power to re.
convene the State board of canvessers, ex-
cept that it could be shown there was an
error in the work. This settled the Hall
Stubbs case from Haskell county and the
Coffey county cases. as the PoDulists did
not allege that there was any error in the
work of the board. but the work of the clerks
and canyassers. The Populisrs have aban-
doned the fight. but they they are still pro-
claiming openly that they intend TO organ
ize the House. Republicans laugh at their
claim, which they say is based on the false
hope that some man elected as a Repub-
lican will prove weak.kneed. A new element
In the senatorial fight is the announced
candidacy OF Congressman Baker who
was summoned home from Washington
post haste, and will be pushed by the mid
dle-of-the-road Populists."
The House Is now divided as follows:
Republicans. G3; Populists. SO: Democrats.
3. giving the Republicans a majority OF one
over all. The Senate stands: Republicans,
IL; POpulists. II; Democrats, .. In joint
session the parties wOuld there be divided
thus: Republicans. u, PopulIsts, Il; DEM
ocrats, s. giving the combined opposition
to the Republicans majority Of two. This
majority, however. is not harmonious
one. except in it's opposition to Republic
ans. &c will be no easy matter to combine
1t on the question it will have to decide,
viz: the senatorship. The five Democrats
hold the balance of strength. They recog-
nize their power, and will utilize il in
strong endeavor to elect Democrat to
succeed Senator Perkins.

torIal campaign is victory for Breiden-
thai Her strength, and there was more of
1t than outsiders believed. will be thrown
TO the chairman of the Populist central
committee. She was originally In favor of
Judge Frank Doster. but it Is now pretty
generally conceded that he is out of the
race. jerry Simpsons boom fails to boom.
and he Is hardly regarded now as factor
in the fight.
