THE ANDERSEN CENTENARY
Preparations Under Way for Big Cele-
bration in Denmark.

The people Of Denmark are preparing
to celebrate the centenary of Hans
Christian Andersen with considerable
ceremony. He was born at Odense on
April 2, 1905, and the inhabitants Of
his native town will, of course, pay spe-
cial honor to his memory. A tablet al
ready exists on the facade Of the home
Of his childhood.
The lead taken in Denmark will be
followed in America. More or less at
tention is given to Andersen g birthday
by the Danish organizations, and natur-
ally the observances will be on a much
more elaborate scale this year.

THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE

For aught that I could ever read.
Could ever hear by tale or history.
The course of true love never did RIM smooth
But, either 1t was different in blood,
Or else misgrafted in respect OF years,
Or else 1t stood upon the choice of friends;
Or, II there were a sympathy in choice,
War. death, or sickness did Law Siege to IT,
Making 1t momentary as sound
Swift as shadow. short as any dream:
Brief as the lightning III the collied night
That, In spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth.
And ere man hath power to sap-Behold
The Jaws of darkness to devour it up:
So quick bright things come to confusion

sARE A BAD LOT'
Swedish Sailors Said to Be the Worst
of All.

"Swedish sailors are hard lot, )"
says Rev. S. Thysell, who has made a
tour of foreign ports for the purpose Of
investigating their condition. The rea-
son for this lies in the fact that Swedes
do not take to the sea except as last
resort, while in many other countries
seamanship stands so high that the best
class of people are to be had at any
time.
Not only are the Swedish sailors in
the lowest rank among the country g
workingmen, but in general reputation
they are among the lowest in their
trade.

city and village councils the right to
prohibit bucket shops within their Dor

article he frankly stated that If any
such move was on foot he was ignorant
Of it and It was the first he had heard

Furthermore. said Mr.. Gray, Il think
the commission Is more In need of money

TO create a new position unless ! knew
that the services that would be required
