to rule; naturally he desires that his
son shall enjoy the same long period
of government.
A short time ago it was feared that
the King would not live. He was or
dered away from the seat of govern
ment by the Court Physician, and no
matters of State could be mentioned to
him. After q course of baths, and q
long period of treatment which in
cluded the rest cure,'' he returned ap-
parently well and nearly as vigorous
as ever. But his friends say it is the
vigor OF man who is losing his hold
upon his vitality, more like a spark
than steady flame. more like unto
the long rest which precedes the last
repose-
HIS BUSY LIFE.
King Oscar of Sweden and Norway
was born in Stockholm, on January
q, 1929, and succeeded his brother,
King Charles XIV. in 1872. Destined
for the navy he took an active part in
several expeditions, commanding the
squadron. He took the course in the
University of Upsa1a, where he was
graduated a doctor of philosophy. His
people claim him as the best educated
monarch of his day. He is not only
learned in the lore of books but has
travelled extensively. Oscar was
crowned King of Sweden at Stock
holm, on MAY II, 1873, and became
King of Norway at Drontheim on July
IS of the same year.
Early in his reign the old conflict
between Sweden and Norway broke out
afresh- The struggle on the part of
Norway to be severed from Sweden
was bitter. For a long time the rad
ical opinion of Norway had been hos
tile not only to the administration of
Swedish officials, but also to the funda-
mental union of the two kingdoms.
This had been making great progress
among the electors in Norway who
were for the most part farmers
At length. in October, 1882, the cleo
tors gave these radicals a considerable
majority. Their programme included
the restriction, and. if possible, elimin-
alton of the royal veto; a separation
of Swedish and Norwegian tariffs; a
representation from the Norwegian
Storthing in the Swedish Ministries,
and above all, the creation of a Nor
wegian Minister of Foreign Affairs, to-

gether with Norwegian counsuls and

gether with Norwegian counsuls and
diplomatic agents.
In the Cabinet crisis which followed
an attempt to reorganize the army,
the Norwegians won an advantage, for
little later the King. after ineffec-
tuaI efforts to reconcile the two par
ties, consented to the appointment of a
Norwegian cabinet, headed by the
Chief Radical, Sverdrup, the President
of the Storthing.
From that time forward there have
been constant struggles between the
two parties. and frequent Ministerial
crises.
The King is praised as an orator,
and has some~ reputation as a poet
His literary efforts include a mono
graph on Charles XII" two volumes
of poems entitled 'sRecollections of the
Swedish Fleet and Poems and
Leaves From My Journal He has
also translated 1.-The Cid'' of Herder,
the works of Tasso and of Goethe and
has edited the memoirs of Charles XII,
and has written a drama called 1.-THE
Castle of Kronborg-"
A LITERARY KING.
For some of his romances and bal
lads sent to the Swedish Academy
anonymously he received a prize. The
King has always been a patron of
learning. and Nansen owes his Arctic
discoveries to King Oscars original
encouragement of his enterprise. His
ability as a dip1omatist and authority
on international law was attested by
the choice of him as the judge of the
Venezuelan boundary case.
King Oscar is a Bernadotte, son of
Oscar I, and of Josephine of Leuch-
tenberg, who was the daughter of
Beauharnais, the stepson of Napol-
con. His wife, whom he married in
1857, is the sister of the Grand-duke
of Luxembourg. His sons have all
become men.
The Crown Prince is Gustave, Duke
of Wermland, born in June, 1853 He
married a granddaughter of Emperor
William I. The second is Oscar, Duke
of Gotland, born in November, 1859.
He married Miss Ebba Munck, and
thereby resigned all right to the
throne The others are Carl, Duke of
Westergotland, born in February, 1861,
and Eugene, Duke of Nerke, who was
born in August, 1865.

and scouting are entirely done on foot.
This may be accounted for to a consid-
cradle degree by the character of the
country where they reside, which on
account of its roughness and barren
ness is not suited to warlike move
ments on horseback.
1.-The Apache may therefore be said
to represent the Indian type of infan-
try scouting. On the march the scouts
were always up and on the alert before
dawn, for dawn is the time when the
hostile Indians were most likely to att
tack.
"A peculiar characteristic of the
Apache is that he never wants to be
alone, and in consequence if a scout
ing party is ever reduced below three
members, the remainder join them
selves at once Co some neighboring par
ty, for if not, one of the remaining
scouts might be obliged to go to the
rear to report something he had OBJ
served and the other would thus be left
alone.
1.-THE scouts would then start out in
parties of three or four, forming a fan
shaped screen about the head of the
column, and nothing more would be
heard from them until the site for
the next camp was reached, except
when anything of Importance was not
ed by them, in which case one of the

broken branches, sites of former camps
and anything that would give them a
clue to the whereabouts of the enemy,
or the length Of time since he had
left.
1.-The Apache gives us the best ex-
ample of infantry scouting while in
the use of cavalry for this important
brother, the Sioux.
1.-THE Sioux. unlike the Apache, uses
his horse for fighting as well as for
transportation, and is probably the
best type of mounted Indian. He is

he did not see a single Indian, while all
of his movements were known to the

1.-The Sioux scouts resemble more
nearly cavalry screen than an adj
vance guard, for they generally operate
a long distance, sometimes as much
as twenty-five miles, and even more,
in front of the main body. with which
communication is maintained by means
of signals, in which the Sioux are very

A KING IS TIRED
OF THE THRONE.
Oscar OF Norway and Sweden is Ready
to Place His Royal Crown Upon
the Head of the Crown Prince.

Flushed with his triumphs of the
past year, during which he celebrated
his seventy-first birthday, amid the great
rejoicing of the Scandinavians, King
Oscar of Norway and Sweden now
talks of forever retiring from the field
of Kingly endeavor. He wishes to abb
dictate the throne in favor of his son,
the Crown Prince Gustave, who was
born in 1858 and is consequently ripe
for the throne.
Though in fairly good health for the
past six months His Majesty has been
suffering from a severe and lingering
illness for the past three years; and.
though he may recover, his advanced
age renders rest imperative.
Let it not be supposed that at the age
of seventy-one and i'll, the King of
Sweden has resigned himself to his lot
Of old man. Far from it he is Just
as young as ever in many respects. He
shoots during the hunting season,
dances in the social months, spends
much time driving and is the picture
of aged vigor- Only, recognizing his
years and appreciating the duty which
he owes his son, he thinks it well, so
it is claimed, to retire to post where
he can watch the Crown Prince rule.
and at the same time, assist him in the
first years of his reign.
The same course has been urged up
on Queen Victoria, namely that she
allow the Prince of Wales to reign for
a year or two before his mothers
death. BY simply abdicating, she
could see her son crowned and could
enjoy the delight of guiding him along
the pathways she has laid out and
cherished during the past sixty and
more years.
So, with King Oscar. Forty-three
years of age, when he came to the
throne, he found himself ripe and ready

| porter of this newspaper g. few days

| rs it true that you advocate Indian

was asked.
"Well.'' he replied, ST don't think It

Few people have an idea how much

THE CAVALRY SCREEN.
s.On the march this service is per-
| formed by a cavalry screen which pro-
tects the head of the column from sur
prise and observes everything that is
| possible of the whereabouts and move
ments of the enemy. This screen, which
received its greatest development from

War, marches considerable distance

days. march, and covers the country
to a breadth of from ten to twenty
miles.
Much study has been given to the
proper performance of the service of
security and information by military
officers both at home and abroad, and
many books have been written on the
principles involved, but, strange as it
may seem, the uneducated American
Indian far excels his more learned
American and European brothers in
arms in this important duty; and it
may truly be said that the nearest we
approach in civilized warfare to the
methods of scouting used by the In
dams the more nearly we reach the
ideal
"As an instance of this remarkable
ability of the Indian, we may take the
Apaches of Arizona and New Mexico.
During the various uprisings of these
willy savages which finally eliminated
in the capture of Geronimo in 1886
friendly Apaches were employed ex-
clusively as the scouts and guides or
our troops. It is interesting to note
their methods Of procedure.
The Apaches, unlike many Of the
more northern tribes, never fight
mounted, though they are excellent
horsemen. They use their horses
merely as a means of transportation
from place to place. but their lighting
