An Incident Which Greatly Amused

An Incident Which Greatly Amused
the Father of Nicholas.
As a graduate of the famous Univer-
sity of Copenhagen, Prince Christian
early won the respect of the cultured
world. He wore the regulation cap of
the university students and participated
in the social and athletic life of the
young men. On his express desire no
distinction was shown him; he went
through the same scholastic curriculum
as the other fellows, sharing their work.
On Saturday evenings he might be found
on the corner of Gothersgade waiting for
his car. He was the only member Of the
royal family who ever made use of the
street tramways. If there was no room,
he would stand up, and I often found
him sitting on the rear rail, chatting with
artisans and workmen. By moving so
freely and naturally among the people he
gradually crept into popular favor, and
he is now the most popular prince, not
only among his own subjects, but abroad
as well.
Once when promenading along the old
Kings highway, near the Kronborg cas-
tie, in Elsinore, he Joined the car of
Russia and the crown prince Of Den
mark, who came along dusty and weary
from the hunt, with their guns slung
across their shoulders. A peasant drove
by with n hay rig, and the prince hailed
him, asking if he would give them a ride
home. The peasant was willing enough,
but it was evident that he did not know
the identity of his most august passen-
gers. The prince made up his mind to
play a joke on the man, but as it hap
pened the man turned the joke on the

Long ropes Of pearls the mother sea filings down
To the winged emerald daughters of her heart,
Who run in laughter and in laughter part
Upon the beach, though clouds to westward

Low thunders from the sunset sudden drown
The light sea laughter, and the wavelets dart
Back to the mother breast, again to start
And weave the pearl ropes in glittering crown.

That, as you move, new essence is unroled
