A Democratic Queen.

Queen Sophia is a wo&an of whom
the public, outside of her kingdom,
hears little but of whom it would do
it good to hear much. She is German
born, but by her sympathies and in
terests she belongs entirely to the
Northern country whose crown she
wears. She has not been strong in
health for years, and consequently she
has been compelled to live a compare
lively retired life. She cannot often
share in the great court festivities.
Her interests are to a great extent
taken .up by charitable work. One of
her most cherished occupations is to
alleviate distress, and, being strongly
impressed by religion, the queen is
greatly interested by the religious
movements of her time.
More than one charitable institu-
ton has been founded through the in
itiative of the queen. above all the
"Sofahemmet," or Sophia House, in
Stockholm She has on many occa-
sions started the idea of important
works of charity-for instance, when
she formed and carried out the plan of
the great fancy fair in Christiania for
the benefit Of the families of the
wrecked fishermen from Finmarken.

RIFLE EMBEDDED IN A TREE.
Curiosity Near CentraIia Is a Great
Mvsterv.~

CENTRALIA, Wash, June g.
About IL miles from Centralia on the
road to Little Rock, near a deserted
homestead is an old-fashioned rifle
embedded in the trunk of tree. The
trunk of the tree, scrub oak, is not
more than six inches through at the
point where the rifle is embedded, so
plete view. The rifle is in perfect
state of preservation. 1t is evident
from the appearance of the tree that
the rife was placed in a crotch of
the tree many years ago, at, probably,
the height at which a man would rest
a gun were he taking careful sight In
the course Of years the tree has
grown completely around the rifle.
and the rife is about 10 feet from
the ground. Romances innumerable
might be woven about the old rife.

An Accomplished Monarch.

All things taken into consideration,
King Oscar is the most accomplished
king in the world. He is an excellent
musician, he has been a great trav-
eler, he is d doctor of philosophy, he
is popular poet and splendid
speaker. He has the reputation, also,
of being a wit And he has found
time to distinguish himself in all these
ways in spite of the fact that he has
had, as king, one of the most diff
cult tasks that has fallen to the lot
of any monarch of recent years. The
king is most fortunate in his heir-ap-
parent. Crown Prince Gustav who
has acted as regent of the kingdom
during the long illness of King Oscar
is a sensible man, devoted to his
father, and on the best terms with
Swedish statesmen and public men in
every rank of life, and in recent years
he has greatly increased in popularity
with the masses in Sweden.

ROYAL COUPLES
GOLDEN WEDDING
Gala Day for Loyal Sub
jectS Of Good King
Oscar

STOCKHOLM, June 6.-This was a
gala day in Stockholm and, for that
matter, all over Sweden, for it was
the golden wedding anniversary of
King Oscar and Queen Sophia.
All day the city was en- fete and
everywhere was rendered manifest the
devotion which the Swedish people,
especially the middle class and poor.
have for the most democratic royal
couple in Europe.
At the palace King Oscar, who was
attended by all the members of the
royal family. received large number
of addresses, including one from the
municipality and one from nearly
every public body in his kingdom.
Special representatives of nearly every
sovereign of Europe were also on hand
to present messages of congratulation.
Though not entirely recovered from
his recent severe illness, his majesty
was in the best of spirits. and warmly
greeted each delegation presented to
him.
Because of the health Of the royal
couple, some Of the early plans for the
celebration of their golden wedding
were necessarily abandoned. One OF
the notable features of the celebration
that was carried out was a public col
lection to enable poor patients to gain
admission to the. sanatorium for con-
sumptives, which was founded 10
years ago, on the 25th anniversary of
King Oscars reign. with the money
subscribed by the nation and handed
over to the king.

A Happy Pair.

The marriage of King Oscar then
prince, to Princess Sophia of the
house of Nassau took place at Biebe-
rich castle, Germany, on June 6, 1857,
and was great public event 1t was
a love match, and how happy they
have been together during the so
years of their welded life can be
learned from King Oscars verses. The
king writes excellent poetry, and in
one of his opens, in which he de-
scribes his first meeting with his wife.
he speaks of her as an "angel pure
and good"
Four sons, models of intelligence
and manly beauty, have been born to
them. They are Crown Prince Gus
tav, Prince Carl, Prince Eugen and
Prince Oscar. None Of these stalwart
young men is less than six feet in
height and all of them are broad
shouldered and athletic. The king
himself stands six feet three, and
Prince Carl towers above all the rest
of the family, his height being fully
six feet six.
Prince Carl is called "the blue
prince" as he nearly always appears
in his blue cavalry uniform. Prince
Eugen. the youngest son, is the artist
Of the family, and his fathers special
favorite. The other sons possess
onafities that have made them widely
popular and generally beloved. and al
together King Oscar and Queen So
phia have reason to be more than
proud OF their progeny.

Birthday Picnic and Social.

Monday, August 5, 1907, was the 92d
anniversary of the birth of Mrs. Sallie
Musrish Hoare, surviving widow OF the
late John Hoare, pioneer settler. In
recognition of the event, her nephew
Capt. Phil Lawrence and wife, their
son Aubry and wife and grandson Ray,
all of Huron, S. OAK, were present.
having arrived here the middle of last
week.
What made the birthday of this wo-
man of beautiful life and character
stand out especially prominent this year
should be accredited to the Woman 3
Relief Corps. Learning well in advance
of the eventful period, the members of
said order got busy preparing for fit
ting observation of the same. Messrs.
William and James Hoare, sons of the
aged lady and with whom she resides,
readily joined in the project.
In consequence there assembled early
in the afternoon, at the inviting family
home which adjoins the city on the
south, Grand Army veterans, Relief
Corps members and invited friends to
the number of two hundred or better.
1t made grand assemblage of those
who honor age, who honor woman and
who honor the country's defenders.
Hour after hour, until 1880 o'clock,
passed in that free happy manner as to
insure the occasion being one of the
grandest social events in the history Of
Mineral Point.
After the shades of night set in the
popular local band appeared on the lawn
and rendered numerous choice selec-
tons. thus contributing much to the
grandeur of the success.
The needs of the inner man were not
overlooked by those having charge of
arrangements. There were substantial
foods, fruits and ice cream in abundance
for all.
Upon the announcement of supper
MRS. f10are was presented with Deau-
tiful china cup and saucer by the ladies'
of the Relief Corps as slight token in
honor of the occasion.
Foo one who has experienced the vi
cissitudes of life for ninety-two years,
Mrs. Hoare is remarkable woman.
Her eountenance is as bright and free
from times ruthless touch and her in
telleft as clear as the average woman
Of fssv summers. Physically she is

Of ore of her limbs few years ago her |

as hare portrayed are largely due to
happy, hopeful, contented disposition.
The prospects are favorable for Mrs.

for many yaars to come, and there is a
very pronounced hope to the effect,

Killed by Fall from Train.

Ed Flannery, aged 40 years, restaur-
ant proprietor at Argyle, sustained in
juries from falling or being thrown off
the evening passenger train west on the
st. Paul Tuesday evening of last week,
two miles east of Browntown, that re-
suited in death at 6 o'clock the follow
ing morning.
Mr.. Flannery was in Monroe and at
tended Gollmar Bros. Circus. He took
the train west in the evening for his
home. The accident occurred near the
Chas. Long place. There is sharp
turn at this point and the turn is on
filled-in cut about twenty feet deep, the
sides of the road-bed being of rock.
Charles Long about ten o'clock was at
tracted by cries and means of pain, and
on investigating found Flannery lying
at the foot of the grade, badly injured
and bleeding from several cuts on the
head and body. Both legs were broken
and there was a bad cut in the small Of
the back, a deep cash in the head and
the flesh on one heel laid open to the
bone. One leg was broken just above
the ankle and the other in several
places between the knee and foot.
There We're other body wounds andpos-
sibly internal injuries. The track is
down grade and the train being little
late was running fast to make connec-
tons at Dill.
1t is presumed that Flannery while
standing on the platform, was thrown
from the train as it went around the
curve and that he pitched and rolled
down the jagged rocks at the side OF
the road-bed
