KING OSCAR II.
Ills Keen Interest In Kindly Nature OF
His People.

His Keen Interest In Kindly Nature of
His People.
American correspondents who visit
Sweden never tire Of writing about King
Oscar IL. Tho he can be as imperious as
his imperial highness, Wilhelm Ii. on
occasions, he is ordinarily pleasing ana
gracious, and invariably extends the
"glad hand to journalists. The CORE
spondent for the Pittsburg Gazette tells
g, very characteristic story which he pre-
faces by his personal opinions regarding
the king:
King Oscar of Sweden has most interesting
personality. Tall, we'll built and handsome, In
youth he must have been the Ideal fairy prince
of the children's wonder tales POSSESSING
also clear well-trained mind, and benevolent
gracious nature, he is the fttest of rulers for a
people themselves at once simple and Intelligent,
kindly and shrewd
That he Is universally beloved and respected
goes without saying, and he returns IN full
measure the affection of his subjects.
He has many plans for their advancement Is
an enthusiastic patron Of literature and the fine
and ever ready to ASSIST ali worthy Aious-
trial enterprises.
He Is particularly anxious that his people
should stand well in the estimation Of other ma
tionalities, and once remarked .-...- .-
my people may not be as artistic as the
Italians nor such deep students the Germans
nor such thoro- going business people as the
Americans, but 1 firmly believe they are the
best the kindest, the most thoroly polite people
with the politeness that comes from the heart
and is not veneer-on the face of the
earth 49,. "A. go -
The question he oftenest asks Of strangers is
edo you find my people kindly 2
And 1t Is the sign of his own gentle nature
Nhat he values this characteristic so highly.
He is the terror Of unjust judges for the poor
est and humblest of his subjects may appeal per
eonally to him for redress of their grievances.

SATURDAY EVENING,
A case Of this kind occurred mot long since.

A case Of this kind occurred not long since.
A very poor peasant was drawn into diIn-
Guilty with neighbor, which involved the loss
of everything he possessed ON earth. The mat
ter was brought before the resident Judge, who.
taking offense at what he considered the disre-
spectful demeanor of the peasant, decided the
c against him, altho justice was clearly on
his side.
The man at once set out on foot for Stock
holm to lay the matter before the king.
After a tiresome journey of three weeks, he
reached the Swedish capital and presented him
self ragged and travel-stained, before King Oscar.
The kings first words were Observation-Disclosures
'How dare you appear before your sovereign In
this condition." but, my man, you look tired
and hungry Go with one of my servants and
get some food and rest for while. and then
come back "
The poor fellow, almost fainting from hunger
and fatigue, was led away to hearty meal and
n comfortable couch, returning refreshed and
laid his case before the king, whose brows dark
ened in the hearing.
''The matter shall be thoroly investigated.
and, If you have told truth it shall go hard
with the Judge Here IS money to pay your
way to your home and to provide for your tempo
rary wants.
The case was probed to the bottom and the
Judge suffered heavy fine and imprisonment,
with, of course, the loss of his position.

RURAL HIGH SCHOOLS
Those of Denmark Source of Great
Strength.


Strength.
The rural high schools Of Denmark are
her strength, says an exchange. Founded
by Bishop Grundtvig more than fifty
years ago, these schools have been the
means of spreading general and particu-
lar knowledge among the small freehold
farmers the largest class in Denmark,
and the class which has always been the
backbone of the nation politically. The
farmer s naturally isolated being by
reason of his work, and has therefore,
had little chance to enjoy educational
blessings. This fact has made Denmark
a ''little nation" in spite Of the superior
mental quality Of the people. The rural
high schools, out of which the cooper
alive movement so advanced now in Den
mark has really grown, have been of in
calculable value in spreading the leaven
of education, and in strengthening in
every way that class Of small FARMERS
filling their own land, and making fair
living at it, which can do more than
any other class to keep economic cond1-
tions in d nation healthy and good.

Knocks Out plumbing Law.

In the municipal court last "Wednesday,
In the cases of Charles Green, Peter Peter
son and Gust Johnson, who were arrested
for doing plumbing without having Sc
cured a license, Judge Holt held that the
law was unconstitutional because it is
class legislation. The law provides that
plumbers working at their trade in cities
Of more than 10000 inhabitants must Sc
cure license. In his decision Judge Holt
held that large cities should not have any
more restrictions than the smaller towns
and that the health Of the people in the
smaller places must receive equal con-
sideration with that Of the big city. The
passage of the law in question was secured
after much work on the part of those in
terested and it is thought that on account
of opposition in small towns it will be {
hard matter to get law which will cover
the features desired and still be constitu.
tional.
