grandchildren, and is the only one of them to
inherit the perfect features and delicate cooring
of Queen Alexandra. The extreme fairness of
his hair and complexion immensely pleases his
fathers subjects for that, of course, is exactly
the Norwegian type.
KING HAAKON'S PLEASURE.
King Haakon has expressed his keen delight
with the boys popularity in Norway. Il de-
clare" he said, ''that / should never have be-
lieved that child of three could have so con-
quered the hearts of the people I often say
to the Queen: How these Norwegians love
the best part of my government, which is our
child You must know that Prince Olaf was
Norwegian by instinct. He absolutely loves the
national flag. He loves the snow and he learnt
Immediately how to handle his little sled. He has
had nothing to learn in order to become Crown
Prince He had only to let himself be loved by
the people and by everybody. For his father it
is more complicated business. They have to
teach me my trade day by day"
OLAF AND THE FLAG.
Little Olaf appears to have quite passion for
flags. The people of Christiana were enchanted
with an incident which occurred during the
public reception of the new King. The baby
prince, wearying of formalities, made dart into
the crowd and wrested Norwegian banner from
boy, who, 10th to part with his treasure, strug-
gled with Olaf for its possession. The Prince
secured it, however, and ran back to his father,
growing with exultation. King Haakon then took
the energetic Prince in hand, and held him
tightly his knee while they drove to the pal
ace; but Olaf clung to his banner and waved
it vigorously in acknowledgment of every cheer
BONNIE PRINCE OLAF.
Prince Olaf was so violently adored by the la
dies of Copenhagen that when he is taken for
his daily promenade in the Royal Park he has
to be protected from their kisses and caresses
by bodyguard of four frowning policemen The
little Prince, however, prefers to chat with his
admirers, and to hob-nob with the children and
once adventurous three-yearold popped his
head under the cover of Olafs perambulator and
asked, "Are you the Clown Prince" "Yes," said
Olaf, "Im the Clown Prince" whereupon the
two launched into amated conversation
The little Prince has been made the subject
of number of demonstrations which were de-
signed for him alone and not shared by his
parents, who are also favored by their subjects.
On occasion the little fellow was greeted by
an immense throng of school children who had
come from all parts of the country to do him
honor. As they marched by he stood manfully

On another occasion he was made the recipient
of present of handsome Sleigh which was
given him by the children of his country.
Seldom has there been a more perfect royal
match than that between the handsome sailor
Prince and the charming, simple-minded, spright-
ly daughter of King Edward. As Queen Vic
toria said, "They seem made for each other, "
and this verdict has been indorsed by the ideally
happy life they have led together ever since
they were made one on that July day ten years
ago.

in history that two great nations are
to be seen groveling in homage at the feet of
a three-year-od child.
This is the distinguished honor that has been
thrust upon the infant Prince Olaf, the heir
to the throne of Norway. This little youngster
is sturdy little "son of the sea- who wins
the hearts of all those who meet him, as well as
those of the great army of persons who have
only been favored by occasional peep at the
lad in his travels in his own and other lands
He has been feted by the populace of his native
country and honored in hundreds Of different
ways. Wherever he toddles his baby footsteps
followed by an army of admirers endeavor-
ing to pay tribute to him. In his own country
it has been found necessary to furnish guard
to protect him, much against the little fellows
will as it interferes with his play and his pro-
clvity for making acquaintance. In his re-
cent trip to England with his parents to visit
his grandfather, King Edward, the party was
naturally the subject of ovations at ever turn,
but the attention of the little Prince more
than marked. During the trip from Portsmouth
to Windsor the little fellow was compelled to
take his place at the window of the royal coach,
and as it sped along the rails he kept busy
returning the salutations of the people along the
line.
IdE SEA hlNGS OON.
The praises of the Prince have been sent up
in songs written in his honor. The artists
of Norway have worn their pencils blunt in por-
traying him in cartoon and picture, several paint
ings representing the lad in allegory and in
portraiture, a number of them having been
made by Norway's leading workers in oil and
crayon. Not few Of these efforts have taken
a front place in the artistic world, not only
for the reason that from the nature of their
subject they touched sympathetic chord in the
hearts of those who viewed them, but because of
the genuine excellence of the work.
One of these canvases which probably calls
for the greatest amount of attention is the sym
bolic picture now in the Royal Academy, which
is entitled "a Sea Kings Son." by Herbert
Candy 1t is said that the artist made this beau
tful picture without any reference to the young
Prince of Norway, but it was so aptly typical of
the present position of the Norwegian royal house
that it must seem that the artist had this very
child in view as an inspiration when his brushes
sped over the canvas. This picture has attract
ed a great deal of attention because of the gen.
uine genius of the artist
A HANDSOME BOY.
Both in England and in Norway the people
have gone into ecstases the little fellow
who is remarkably pretty and engaging. The
Norwegians took him to their hearts the mo-
ment they saw him on the day of the new Kings
arrival He made the prettiest picture imagin-
able perched on the shoulders of grzzIed naval
officer, lovely fair-haired boy with dancing blue
eyes, vigorously waving Norwegian flag, which
he had borrowed from a child on the quay. There
can be no doubt about Olafs exceptional beauty.
He is quite the best looking of King Edwards

this country in Germany, great prog
ress has been made in the art and
there now several types of stoves on the
market designed for use in the household. Some
of these are in the shape of large chests, which
will accommodate large roasts, while Others are
smaller much like an enlarged bucket. This
scheme was not announced as an entirely new
one, but it was stated at the time that it had
been in use for hundreds of years in an obscure
part of the German Empire and was brought to
renewed life by the report of the consul re-
ferred to above
The scheme was hailed by the world a new
idea and attracted a great deal of attention and
its advantages were recognized at once and the
work of adapting it TO the uses of the household
was begun by many inventors, utilizing the prin-
ciples involved in the rude constructions of the
Germans.
1t now develops that the system has been in
use since remote times among the guides, hunt
ers and trappers of the Northwest, and some Of
them have become SO adept that they can prepare
unusually tempting meals.

can't frighten 'em on to the hook The only way
is to get up early, and use the right kind of bait
and then wait for the bites. Many years ago
there was fine old joke born, about the young
man who came counting, and who was chased OIL

it died a natural death, and aybody attempting
to resurrect it would be held guilty of cruel

ject was to learn something about
the territory recently acquired by the
Louisiana purchase" With a little
party of private soldiers and others,
Pike started from st. Louis, July Is,
1906. After long travel and numerous
hardships the condition OF the little

We're given and Pike determined to
press on to the great white peak"

peak was on November 27, when Pike
and two followers climbed to the top
of a mountain some fifteen miles
from the peak. Pike wrote in his
diary that the great white mountain

mountain he had climbed and that 1t
would be impossible for human be-
ing to reach the summit.

a Fatal Shooting.


Kennedy boarding house on Sunday
evening about 8 o'clock. The parties
involved are all Italians, the person
shot being named p. Massoni. 1t
seems that the shooting occurred in
one of the sleeping rooms of the
boarding house. There we're three
there at the time, the other two being
+. FortonoIo and G. Cristoforo.
Fortonoro was thinking of purchas-
ing pistol owned by Massoni. lhe
pistol was there, and Fortonoro was
examining it. He was sitting on the
foot of the bed while doing so, while
Massoni was lying on the bed. Crist-
oforo was there as friend, but in no
way interested in the negotiations
1t is claimed by the eye witness to
the tragedy that in examining the
weapon, one of the chambers was
accidentally discharged. The ball
took effect in Massoni's forehead at a
point just over the right eye, and
entered the brain, producing a
necessarily mortal wound. He was
rendered unconscious and was never
able to give his version of the matter.
Fortonoro upon, seeing the work
done by his carelessness, threw the
weapon down on the bed by the side
of Massoni, and left the premises.
That the occurrence was accidental
is the general opinion.
1t seems Fortonoro and Cristoforo
came from Pennsylvania, and went to
work at the Kennedy the first week
in of this month. They met Massoni
in lone on their way here, and an at
tachment sprang up between the three
men, all being taken in at the Ken
nedy about the same time.
Sheriff Norman went out to the
scene as soon as notified. Everything
it is said, had been left untouched,
exactly as when the shooting occurr-
ed. He picked up the pistol from
the bed, and took possession of it..
All chambers we're loaded except one.
Why the shooter should flee after
the sad affair if purely accidental, is
unexplained. He probably became
scared, and thought flight was the
best thing he could do.
DIR. Gall was called to examine the
patient. He was paraIyzed, and no
hope was entertained from the very
outset of his recovery.
Fortonoro did not get far away.
He was arrested on the train at Gait,
and brought back to this county
Tuesday.
He told the same story of the shoot
ing that Christoforo did. relating how
the affair took place. Upon seeing
the terrible result of the accidental
shot, at the request of the other
present, he skipped oui ; was told that
was the best course to pursue, as the
officers would be after him.
FortonoIo was removed to the hos
pitaI on Monday. The doctors re-
ga1ded it as HOPELESS case. He never
regained consciousness. The ball
lodged in the brain IN the back of the
head. He died Tuesday evening. An
inquest was held the same day that he
died.
The jury returned verdict OF
accidental shooting. Fortonoro is
still held awaiting the return of the
district attorney, who is away at
present. 1t is expected that he will
be released as soon as he returns.
