PAlnflns A KING.
By nskins Term. 0.ear Of Sweden Saved
f5,880 Francs.

From tssie's Weekly.
Biographical literature from the time Of
Diogsnes down abounds in anecdotes Of
Een Of commanding genius and more or
less eccentricity who have dared to speak
TO their kingly masters with a frankness
which in less privileged persons would
doubtless have led 10 some painful result
All are familiar with the stories of this
sort told OF Phidias, the sculptor: Mozart,
the composer. and vandyke. the artist
OF similar character is an incident re-
lated OF the artist Anders Zorn. whose
work was so popular in this country dur
Ing and after the Worlds Fair. The in
cident relates to the production OF Zorn's
full-hgure portrait of King Oscar ii. Of
Sweden. an oil painting which has been
the most conspicuous object in the Swed-
ish pavilion Of the Paris Exposition.
When tais portrait was finished King Os-
car was so pleased with il that he sent
one of his chamberlsins TO Zorn with the
message that he wanted the artist to 20
10 work at once on a bust portrait OF
smaller size.
YES" 7nsw cred Zorn, In his usual shrill
nasal tone, looking anything but pleasant.
Eyes, yes-all right. But tell his majesty
that don't want to paint him in uniform.
! don't want IL, and / am not going TO 90
1t. VIII you be sure to tell his majesty
thatg'
Yes" replied the chamberlain with a
smile, and then he returned to the castle
and told the King that Zorn was over
toyed by the honor shown him and would
be happy to begin work on the new por-
trait az a stated date and hour.
The King. who possesses in fullest
measure the politeness expected of
princes. was more punctual at the first
sitting than the artist. When Z0rn. a lit
tie late. was ushered into the royal pres
ence. he discovered at once that the King
was in uniform.
Why" he exclaimed unhesitatingiy. In
pretty much the same tone he had used
TO the chamberlain. Il said | didn't want
to paint you majesty In uniform"
Il heard nothing about IT," declared the
King, with glance OF surprise at the in
discreet artist.
"Well. well. WELL" muttered Zorn. while
he put his easel in order. But then. I'll
tell your majesty something. II have to
paint your majesty in uniform / shall
have to charge my large price"
How much is that?" Inquired the royal
customer
1T is $500 francs. your majesty" ex-
planned ZOrn. But II your majesty will
change clothes. I'll only charge my small
price. which is 10 600 francs"
well" unused the King. trying TO look
very serious, that's a very big sum-25,-
900 francs. Why. my dear Zorn. I'll tell
you what III dol think | shall have to
change clothes"
The King retired to his private apart
mehts for a short time. and when he ap-
peared again TO resume the sitting he was
dressed as private citizen.
