PROPOSED TO KING CHRISTIAN
A Demented Woman Startles the Old
Monarch ViSibly

According to the Vossische Zeitung,
King Christian of Denmark was pres
ent at a reception in Copenhagen on
April ~, when a young, handsome,
and fashionably attired woman came
UP to him, and, in a loud voice, de-
manded:
I desire to ask your majesty if you
would like to marry me?"
st fear" replied the king, modestly,
that am too old to be eligible for
the honor you offer me, madam. I
must beg to be excused"
At this the woman burst out in loud
weeping, and it was at once apparent
that she was deranged. An officer Of
the royal guards gently escorted her
from the presence chamber to car
riage, and she was driven in haste to
a physician.

PoLACKs GO TO SWEDEN
Large Numbers Are Imported by the
Sugar Beet Farmers.

In order to secure cheap labor, the
sugar beet farmers Of Skane, Sweden,
are importing large numbers of Poles.
There are plenty of people to be had
in Sweden, but they cannot exist on
one krone per day. The Swedes who
emigrate are scolded for their lack of
patriotism and gratitude, but those.
who remain and see their places taken
by the ignorant and serf-like Poles,
view the matter in another light. At
least the mill owners, landed proprie-
tors and their associates are doing
what they can to stimulate emigration
by importing cheap labor.
In the riksdag at least one voice has
been raised against this course. Hr.
Thoresen demanded to know what the
government intended to do to stop
farther importation, and whether it
intended to assist in lowering the
wages of Swedish laborers.
