ENTERS KINGDOM
WITH BABE IN ARMS
Norway's New Monarch
Totes Around Prince.
BABY TALK FOR PRINCE OLAF
King Haakon Acts Just as a Fond Papa
Should.

CHRISTIANIA. Dec. 23.-Though the
new royal family of Norway is scarcely
settled in the uncomfortable and half
furnished palace. there already exists
between its members and the Norwegian
people a feeling that is more than loyal.
that is one of hearty affection.
Queen Maud has got her hot water
bottle and chairs enough for the dining
room-neither of which was 10 be
found when she took possession-and is
setting herself cheerfully to put her pal
ace in order The King is gracious, inter
ested and democratic, and the whole
ma ton loves the baby OLAF.
Indeed it was the baby, or rather the
fashion OF the baby's entrance into our
way, that won the peoples heart-and
! do not think the story has been fully
told
The royal family. King Haakon.
Queen Maud. and the baby Prince Olaf,
came from Copenhagen on the royal
yacht Danebrog and were transferred
of Christiania to the Norwegian war
vessel Heimdal. There he was met by
NJ Nicholson. premier and chief OF the
provisional government In the trans
fer and for safety's sake, the King
took charge of the baby.
When the premier advanced. the KING
held ON 10 the baby and lauShingly IN
troduced the little one to NJ. Nicholson
And so the monarch and his premier
met, the latter carrying the child like a
good, plain bourgeoise father and the
minister talking baby-talk to the heir
apparent. 1t was a case Of cordial sim
plicity that is, perhaps, without paral-
lei.
II is not generally known but il Is a
fact, that the new King and Queen We're
able to converse intelligibly with their
Norwegian subjects from the very out
set. In the ordinary way it would be
naturally supposed that Norwegians and
Swedes speak very much the same Ian
guage As mattel OF fact. Norwegian
is mere Danish diaiect, and the die
tionary from which Queen Maud studied
the speech of her husband before hel
marriage was called a "Dano-NorWe
gian WOrdbook."
1t is not only Of babies that Kine
Haakon is fond, as this incident vii
show.
A pretty little incident once occurred
when ne was in command Of a Danisl

when the little creature was gettini

so touched at its devotion that he de
