The Bernadotte Dynasty.

This question Of separate consular
representation on which the union seems
to have finally split has been agitated
for nearly half a century. Norway has
begged and begged, and been put off
with promises, and promises, and yet
more promises. So finally she has dis
solved the union and deposed the King,
with the assurance of her distinguished
consideration.
And there is no royal house in Europe
more worthy of distinguished consider
alton than this same hose of upstart
Bernadottes. 1t is the youngest of them
all and the most lngly. It was found
cd in 1914 by Jean Baptiste, whose faith
er had been u briefess barrister of
Pau, France. Bernadotte was fifty
wears old when he came to the Swedish
throne. AS a poor lawyers clerk he
had joined the royal marines of France,

and the early years of the Napoleonic
era he gained steadily in reputation UNI
Ill he became one of the most famous

did not like him, but his services so
evidently demanded recognition that he
created Bernadotte Prince of Ponet-
Corvo.

for close upon a hundred years. The
trouble between Norway and Sweden
has roots running well back to the be-
ginning of the forced union in the be-
ginning of the last century. In the
language Of the storthing's address TO
the King. There has been from the
very first hour of the union wide diff

Norway Didn't Like It.

In 1914, by the treaty of KieI, the
Danish king. Frederick, handed her
over to Sweden, without asking her
whether she liked it or no. She didn't
like it at all. she didn't want to be alb
solved from her allegiance to Denmark,
and her people had TO idea of being
loyal subjects Of the upstart Berna-
dotte. the former law clerk of Pau. who
had come to the Swedish throne.
Out of this crisis was born the
storthing, or national assembly. 1t met
early in 1914, and in May had drawn up
and adopted a constitution modelled on
that of the United States, and estab-
lished what was practically a republic
though the idea Of royalty survived
and a Danish prince, Frederick Chris
tian, was proclaimed king. That time
Sweden did not tamely submit War
followed, and Norway was obliged to
accept the Swedish king. But she was
allowed to retain her beloved constitu-
ton, with a few changes necessitated
by the union with Sweden. And the
storthing proclaimed Norway IAN indie
