Christlana, July 27.-"If Sweden re-
sorts to force to carry out her concep.
ton of an honorable arrangement with
Norway she will find us prepared for
all consequences" said Prime Minis
ter Christian Nicholson Saturday
morning. Norwegian sentiments and
hopes have become so wholly centered
in this trusted statesman that what he
says is literally the voice OF the people.
Our action OF June T." he continued,
was a constitutional notice to Sweden
that the .Norwegians intended hence
forth to be their own masters. There
will be no retreat from that attitude in
the dissolution negotiations with the
gentlemen Of Stockholm.
Sweden has a perfect right to guard
jealousy whatever it considers it's
honor, but it must remember that nom
or is not Swedish monopoly and that
Norway has some which will be pro-
tected ALSO"
Monarchy Open Question.
When asked if it had been definitely
decided whether Norway would be a
monarchy or republic Mr.. Nicholson
said: No; that is still an open ques-
ton. Ii neither a Swedish nor a Dan
ish prince is available the sentiment
which is now held only by q minority
might rapidly crystalline. The natur-
al bent of our people is moarchical.
Our history is SO intimately wrapped
up with the lives of our kings that we
would abandon royal institutions with
reluctance
When the bitterness OF today has
passed away Premier Miclelsen looks
forward TO happier relations between
Swedes and Norwegians than ever ex-
listed before. Racial, lingual, reIig-
ious, geographical and commercial ties
bind us SO closely that friendship Will
be unavoidable. Ii Sweden should
wish to give effect to these natura.
bonds through a defensive alliance
Norway would not oppose it; because
we nave a common danger from the
east.
"Sweden's fears that Norway may
pursue foreign policy inimicaI tc
Sweden are ungrounded. We Will be
nobody's vassals, nobody's confeder-
ates. No entangling alliances will
be one of the fundamental principles
OF the new Norway as it was in the
new America of 1776. All we ask is to
be let alone and permitted to live in
peace, develop our resources and work
out our own salvation"

highwayman met Charles Hahn at the
corner of Bowen ana Washington

hands. Hahn, however, reache1 for
his revolver and at the same time
shouted for help. This frightened his

broken into and the money drawer

USE OF PLATINUM ANCIENT.
Found in the Tomb of an Egyptian
Queen Who Lived 700 B. C,


Perhaps some Psychologist will
Shortly discover that radium was
known to the ancients, for most of the
recent discoveries appear to be but du-
plications of earlier results. 1t has
been generally supposed that platinum
was first found in the early half OF the
sixteenth century, wnen gold ore from
the Spanish mines in Darien was found
sometimes to include particles of a
white metal possessing properties OF
WHAT the alchemists termed the
noble metals, but which could not be
identified. The export of this new
metal was prohibited, and it was not
until 1850 that it became generally
known and was made the subject of in
vestigation.
Two or three years ago M Bernelot,
a French savant, while in Egypt, was
examining the contents of a tomb
ascribed to an Egyptian queen of the
seventh century before the Christian
era. Among articles of use anG adorn-
ment he found a plate Of what he at
first took to be silver, but which, upon
closer investigation, he discovered to
be platinum, probably from the alluvial
deposits washed down from the uprer
Nile in times of flood.
Since then other discoveries led to
the knowledge that the metal was
known to the Egyptians and esteemed
for its useful properties.

The Humanity OF ROYALTY.

1t seems that even the royalty of
Europe has it's Four Hundred, and GER
tain princelings are not considered in
the set of certain other princelings.
And these petty squabbles for prece-

A "BARoN's'' EXPLOITS.
He Turned Out to Be a Thief Having
a Good Time.

Berlin, Dec. 2=Great excitement
was caused in various cafes in Leipsic
by the appearance of a young man,
who called himself Baron Won Sly
mankiewiez,' belonging to a wealthy
Polish family, and who spent his money
right and left. The baron soon became
the favored customer of the cafes by
reason of his generosity and his amia-
bility toward the women who made his
acquaintance.
A man who witnessed the Polish
baron's excessive prodigality was rath-
er surprised that he should have an ex-
tensive knowledge of the Berlin dia-
lect. He requested the waiter to ask
the baron to see him for moment out
side the scafe. He then represented
himself as a detective. The baron i'm
mediately took to his heels, but was
arrested. When taken to the police
station he admitted that he was Karl
Szymankiewiez. and that he had for
meriy been employed by Berlin firm,
which placed great confidence in him.
He stole large sum of money, and
went to Leipsic to enjoy himself there.
The self-styled baron. who had been
convicted of theft three times, was
sentenced to a years imprisonment

Penalty OF Realism.

Berlin, Dec. A queer story of a
tragically interrupted comedy, played
in the theatre of Schwarzenbach,
comes from Munich. An actress was
playing her part in love scene in q.
very effective manner-so effective
that her acting did not commend itself
to her husband, who was behind the
scenes. Believing that his wife was
really in earnest, he discharged four
revolver shots at her. The actress fell
apparently dead, and the husband at
tempted to take his own life, but was
prevented. The actress was not killed,
however. She had simply fallen on
stage in a swoon. In spite of no blood
having been shed the performance was
not resumed.

Paris, Dec. "A sad story was told
in the courts concerning the last years
Of the operate star. Sybil Sanderson,
monde and ''Thais.' The case was
brought by the administrator of her
estate, who objected to a bill for $685.,
600 sent in by a, Rue de Ia PAX jew
eller. In order that the case should be
fully understood 1t was necessary TO
tell the life-story of Sybfl Sanderson-
a life crowned with triumphs, but
which ended in absolute misery. When
the great artistic came to Paris from
America she took the city by storm
and kept her hold on opera-lovers I'M
til her marriage in 1897. In that year
she left the stage. When her husband,
Elilio Terry, a Cuban, died, he left her
$4,000, q sum that was wholly insult
f1cient to meet the requirements of a
queen of song accustomed to live in
the lap Of luxury.
Sybil Sanderson returned to the
stage, accepting an engagement to play
-Esclarmonde" at Nice. At the first
performance it was seen that her star
had set. She had no voice. When she
returned to her hotel she had to go to
bed, and her mother had to send 81, 200
from America to pay her hotel and
doctors bills. Sybil Sanderson died
in 1903, a victim of alcohol, which she
had taken in earlier years as a cure
for stage fright, but which had grown
upon her and brought about her death.
She left debts to the amount of $780,
600. The administrator of the artistic S
estate took exception to the jeWelIer's
bill already mentioned on the ground
that as her credit was exhausted in
1902, she could not have found a
tradesman to let her have goods to the
amount of $4,000, when she had no
means of paying for them. Besides, he
pointed out, there was not any trace of
these Jewels. The jeweIler disputed

GREAT WORK FOR CHRISTIANS
The great utteranee of great truths,
and, better the great living of great
truths and the humble doing of daily
duties, is the great work Of the soldier
of Jesus Christ. There are great truths
that run like rivers through every life.
Christ found these truths and uttered
them. So must We as Christians. Our
lives must be open to the truth of
God and to the needs of men, and as
faithful messengers we must bring
the truth Of God to the needs of men.
We must know the wants and woes of
men, the problems and dangers of
men. and apply Gods truth to these
Nothing can finally or fully satisfy the
soul of man except Gods truth. OF
this satisfying truth of God we as
Christians are messengers to the souls
of men. It is our duty to fight the evil
but it is our privilege to make the good
shine. Let US make 1t shine so that
men will love it and live it. We are
responsible for the defense of the
truth of Christ in the world, but let US
know that we defend it best by living
it and by proclaiming it. Truth crush
ed to earth viii rise again" we say.
But 1t will not. Truth of itself is pow
erless to rise or to shine. It is only
as truth is caught up and made vital
in life that it has power to bless the
world. Let US put on the girdle of
truth and wear it everywhere.-Rev
