never seen. When his majesty arrived
In Christiania, he was greeted by one
Of the few men he had ever promoted.
whose height compelled him to look up.
That tall functionary was forthwith
given another and higher office far
from Christlania.
After the formal bows in receiving
me bis majesty shook my hand with a
vicelike grasp; then we sat down on
opposite sides Of broad table-desk, on
which were many periodicals and tel
ephone. Age had only added grace to
bis erect figure. Ills hair, like his
beard. was gray and was parted on

brow and serious eyes. ears OF refine
ment close to his head, the wuminent
nose Of the generous, the mouth Of the
merclful, the long, strong ougwB Of
the pianist and a mighty bEsadfh OF
shoulder. He was dressed like any
we'll bred gentleman, displaying no or
nament, not even the button Of an or
der, to indicate his exalted rank. He
wore a gray tweed suit, with cutaway
coat, standing collar, four-in-hand tie
and patent leather shoes. His only ar
ticles of adornment were a small pearl

dinary watch chain. He speaks nine

Of his greatest hobby.

voys appointed to represent the new
government Of his country at the court
Of his friend King Oscar.
Fond of a Joke.
While the king Is more OF a scholar
than a politician, just the same he
loves a joke. He related an incident
that marked, the celebration of his
birthday: "a committee representing
many trades waited upon me- and
inquired OF each what was his busi-
ness. One said he was a manufactur>
er Of perambulators. asked him II
he was doing well. He replied that his
business was thriving. The next man
proved TO be an undertaken. He com
plnined that times were bad for his
business; that he was doing poorly. 50
said TO him: Look here. I'll tell you
what to do. Go home and become a
manufacturer Of perambulators. Ihave
just been told that that business is
fourishing.'"
King Oscar Is one Of Che most ac-
cessible and most democratic monarchs
in Europe. Il was out wnlking alone
one day" he said, when met an old
friend. asked him to have some re
freshment, so we went to a restaurant
When paying time came I found that /
had left my purse at home, so had to
ask my friend to lend me the money to
pay for his entertainment"
At this ;uncture a door opened and
there entered a lady with the sweetes;
face imaginable. She was dressed in
black silk. without any fuss or feath-
ers. Whereupon 1 was presented to
Sophia, queen of the Swedes. She will
soon celebrate her goIden wedding al
niversary, and she wore the lace cap
prescribed for women who are ep-
preaching seventy. She Is remarkably
we'll preserved. though somewhat OF
an invalid. She takes part in state
ceremonies only with great pain, A
sufferer herself, she devotes her time tf
alleviating the sufferings OF others

She has always been Interested In re-
form dress for women. AT the palace
she has room fitted up specially for
the display Of rational costumes de
signed by her. One day while driv-
ing in Stockholm she came to crowd.
A young girl had tainted The queen
ordered her footman to see that the
girl was carried TO the nearest apothe
cary's shop, and TO the shop went also
the queen, where she helped restore the
girl to consciousness The patient
proved to be a poor girl who had strlv-
en- in vain to support herself by dress
making. The queen relieved the girls
immediate wants and appointed q day
for her to come to the palace. Receiv.
ing the visitor IN her dressmaking
roons- the queen handed her protege
certain simple costume, saying: Take
this as a model. Call 1t the queen
model and tell your customers that It
Is made after the queens own fash
ioning." Then. by wearing one OF the
gowns herself, the queen set the fash
ion for the ladies Of Stockholm, and
soon the once poor dressmaker had to
take a larger shop.
Pleasantly Greeted by Absent cOuntrymen.
One Of the volumes which lay on the
kings table was Roosevelts History
Of New York" After speaking OF the
pleasure he had derived from reading
the book the king said, when Presi-
dent Roosevelt retires 70 private life he
should make a tour Of the world, as
did General Grant, for he is a man
whom we over here wish TO see" Con-
cerning the 100000 Swedes and
Norwegians in the United States the
king said, Every year on my birthday
l receive the most pleasing greetings
and the most surprising gifts from my
countrymen in America" After ex-
pressing his astonishment at the con-
tinued opportunities which the United
States offers the poor Of the world, as
shown In the large amounts OF money
which the Swedes and Norweglans in
America are constantly sending ia
their poor parents in the home country

Probably no famous bird has a small
er habitat than the bird OF paradise,
whose beautiful feathers are so highly
priced In the millinery trade. No one
knows why the varieties OF this beau
tiful bird are confined to the island OF
New Guinea and the nelghboring
coasts Of Australia. There are many
other islands not far away where the
conditions would seem TO be equally
favorable TO their existence, but they
are not found among them, and II we
should ever see a hunter Of the bird Of
paradise we would know that he was
a native OF New Guinea or the neigh
boring mainland of Australia or had
visited those regions.

LINEV1TCH'S POSITION
RUSSIAN MILITARY EXPERTS
NOT HOPEFUL FOR VICTORY.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 27.-The MILL
tary experts take anything but a hopeful
view OF Gen. Linevitch's situation. They
do not believe he can be surrounded but
apparently the experts do not consider tie
possibility of a Russian victory. Line
Vitchs retirement to Harbin and the isola-
ton OF EladlvostOk seem 10 be regarded as
foregone conclusions when Field Marshal
Oyama strikes. According to the latest
news from the front. which is thirty-six
hours old. Oyama. after forcing back tie
Russian right and center, transferred his
weight against the left, compelling the Rus
slams to give ground there also. The mil
itary critics. however agree that the
frontal movement Is merely feint for the
employment Of one or both of the Russian
wings, without which nothing in the shane
OF a decisive victory is possible The i'm
preston Is that Oyama, profiting BY past
experience, is more carefully preparing his
tuning operations; but by the same token
the Russian STAFF dec.ares Linevitch has
taken ample precaution 10 keep In touch
with Hawking movements, and that Ii is not
