Concerning King Oscar IL, it is
claimed by his admirers that he is one
Of the ablest rulers in all Europe. His
first kingly ancestor. Ec-nados;c, was
the son OF provincial notary, and was
born in the city of Pau, in the south of
France. When, by series of extraor-
binary turnings Of the whirligig of
time he was seated upon the Swedish
throne, he at once displayed most king
IL qualities Bernadotte's wife was the
daughter of wine merchant of Mar
settles, but the descendants of this
couple, sprung from the French middle
classes, have intermarried with some
of the most ancient reigning houses of
Europe, and in the quality of respect
ability SO highly priced by everyday
mortals they have always been ut the
head, while, if the present reignipg
representative of the family suffers q
reversal during the present crisis, it
viii be the first that has ever befauen
the line.
Before her marriage to the king of
Sweden the queen was known as
Princess Sofia of Nassau, and her
father was the prince of Wied. Oscar
was q third son, and the death of his
next older brother, Gustav, while yet
his eldest brother, King Charles XIV,
was childless, was the occasion Of the
present kings making a tour, which
included most of the courts of Europe,
in search of a consort. So romantic
was Oscars courtship that he felt
moved to write poem, in which its in
cidents are embalmed in graceful
measure. To the royal couple, whose
mating is understood to have been a
true lore match, four sons have been
born.
These are Gustav, the crown
prince; Oscar, Prince Bernadotte;
Charles, duke of Westergothland, and
Eugene, duke of Nerika. The crown
prince in 1881 married Princesse Vic
toria of Baden, the granddaughter of
the late Emperor William l. of Ger
many, and. curiously enough, great
granddaughter of King Adolf of
Sweden, who was banished from
Sweden nearly a hundred years ago.
The second son, Oscar, is simply
Prince Bernadotte, instead of duke of
Gothland, his original title, because,
having fallen in love with pretty Ebba
Munclk, his mothers favorite maid of
honor, he insisted on marrying her,
against the wishes of all his family and
despite the fact that by reason of his
marriage to a woman not of royal
blood he is cut off from the succession

passed much of his life studying art in
Paris. Some of his pictures were ex-
hibited at the Chicago worlds fair,
and to one of them a medal was
awarded.
Both Sweden and Norway have sent
hundreds of thousands of sturdy, broad
shouldered, brawny sons and fair
haired, blue-eyed daughters to dwell
within the borders Of the American re-
public, and to help build up its great
ness. To-day they and their children
number about three millions of good
citizens, who are loyal TO the land of
their adoption and It's institutions, and
possess here an able press. great church
organizations and half score of insti-
tutions of the higher learning. Yet
their hearts still beat warm for the
rugged peninsula whence they came,
and they are watching with the keen
est interest for the signs which shall
show whether or not the union, in
many WAYS so beneficial 10 both ma
tons, shall last, or is now upon the eve
of dissolution. And all Europe is
watching with them.

The door opened noiselessly and

There his place was taken by little

hands and the loosely-draped folds of

attention to detail. This tiny Turk. or
Indian, or negro-whatever he may be

shoes been in character. But they

ture of the most engaging abandon
ment that she placed herself at the
mercy of the American newspaper man.
With her spreading outstretched hands
she said, very plainly:
Here l am-do what you like. de-
sire to talk to an American above all
other things on earth. would readily
forego any other pleasure in the whole
world in order to secure this one.'
The woman who sat there is prob
ably nearly sixty years old. She be-
came an actress because there was
nothing else for her to do. She stood
small chance for making good mar
rage, because she had no dot, and
dot is an essential to a good marriage
in France. Her mothers good friend
was the duke of Morny, Il cousin OF
Napoleon Ill, and the brainiest diplo-
mat Of his reign, despite his dissoiute
character. When he died Napoleons
power began to wane, and some believe
that this was because of the duke OF
Morny's death. This friendship made
it possible for Sarah's mother to place
the girl in the conservatory. 1t was
the only thing which was possible, SO
to the conservatory she went. 1t was
there that she met Marie Columbier,
who afterward wrote 1.-THE Memories
OF Sarah Barnun1," book which made
a horribly vicious attack upon Bern
hardt. and caused three duels before it
was suppressed, besides gaining for the
authoress horsewhipping from Sarah
herself Columbier and Bernhard had
divided the second prize for elocution
at the conservatory, but no one be-
lieved that Sarah could possibly keep
pace with the other girl. Columbier
was considered to be by far the more
promising OF the pair. Bernhardt's
vastly greater success may have been
what really caused the scurrilous
book TO be written. Frenchwomen
have been known to be jealous. Bern
hardt was born il 1s40. Her father was
an attOrneyof Havre, and her mother q
Ouch Jewess of Amsterdam. Her early
youth was passed in the latter city,
