SCANDINAVIAN ALLIES,

Eighty-one years ago, May II, 1914
Norway adopted what is called the
free constitution. There are few more
interesting histories than that of the

cradle of the Aryan race in Europe,
and it was from this center that the
blonde families were developed Their

Norway to remain as an independent
nation. The close of the Napoleonic
wars was at hand and Bernadotte,
king of Sweden, demanded that he
should have Norway under his rule as
compensation for his aid to the allies in
overcoming Napoleon. From that day

I handed him over the watch, with
some slight feeling of amusement in
my heart, for the test was, as l Thought,
an impossible one, and intended it as
a lesson against the somewhat dog
matte tone which he occasionally as
sumed. He balanced the watch in his
hand, gazed hard at the dial, opened
the back, and examined the works,
first with his naked eyes and then
with powerful convex lens. I could
hardly keep from smiling at his crest

the case to and handed it back.

steadily increases and that help and
employers alike are prospering under

The very same day that brought this
news came the United Press announce
ment that 5000 workingmen in the
wire and nail mills of Pennsylvania
and Illinois have received notice of a

and that the Calumet & Hecla Mining
company, of Michigan, employing $500
men, will at once restore wages to the
rate paid before the 10 per cent. cut in
October, 1893, during the panic. These
are facts whose effects calamity howl

When you observe the lower part of

a man who treats fifty-guinea watch

get from old acquaintances. One day.he
met his master and asked for shilling.
Gordon" Numbered the master, IF
you could show me greater scoundrel
than yourself would give you half a
crown" and he stallee stiffiy away to
his rooms In half an hours time the
butler announced that Mr.. Pcmpous,
the esquire beadle, wished to see the
master. Now, the master had a spe-
cial detestation of the beadle, who, when
admitted and CURLY asked what he
wanted, replied: Mr.. Gordon In
formed me that you desired to see me-"
Said the master: Gordon has made an
ass of you!" In ten minutes more the
butler came again, grinning, and said:
