Remarkable LinquiSt.

President Roosevelt once called King
Oscar the ablest of European rulers.

evinced deep interest in literature
and art He became an accomplished
musician and composer, a dramatist, a
poet, historian, painter and re-
markable linguist. writing eight Ian
guages and speaking five. King Oscar
has been called the most eloquent ora
tor in his country, where oratory is
still held in very high esteem. Most Of
his literary work was done before he
became king.

favorite item Of praise by his ad-
mirers for many years. When he trav-
eled abroad he usually went incognito,
and even In his own country he pre-

Enthusiastic Hunter.

Gustave is called the Nimrod of the
Swedish family. He is an enthusiastic
hunter. While his fathers tastes ran
| largely to literature, Gustave's bent is
toward craftsmanship. Nevertheless,
he is something Of student. Gustave
is an admirer of Emperor William of
Germany and has made a close study
of military matters. When he was
| regent some years ago it was a matter
of gossip that he aspired to make the
dual kingdom a military power, and it
was said by certain Swedes at the time
| of the separation of Norway that if
Gustave were king he would lick the
devil out of the Norwegians'' rather
than let them go their way.
With more years and more expert
ence, however, the successor to the
| democratic and amiable Oscar appears
to have learned wisdom and acquired
conservatism. 1t is generally believed
throughout Sweden now that Gustave
| will make an acceptable king. Like
his father, he is tall and of striking
appearance.

Spare, the last and only one Of my
race"
Il am very glad to hear that" said
the tall man as he drove away. 1T
would be terrible thing to think
there might be more Of you coming"
As the tall man was King Oscar H..
It is evident that the monarch pos
| sessed sense of humor along with
his other qualities.
Long the King of Two Countries.
1t is said that Oscars consuming de-
sire from the time he assembled the
throne was to go down in history as
1.-The king Of peace" That he lived up
to this ambition two years ago. when
he permitted Norway to become sep
arate kingdom without war, is mat
ter of recent interest. For thirty-three
years he had been king Of Sweden and
Norway, but when the latter country
desired to be represented abroad by
its own consuls for it's own interests
the king accepted the situation and
permitted Norway to depart in peace,
though many of his counselors urged
belligerent measures. King Oscar did
not believe in coercing the common
people. His own grandfather was q
humble country notary in France be-
fore he fought with Napoleon.
When the kings son and successor,
Crown Prince Gustave, was married to
Princess Victoria of Baden in 1881 the
father revealed not only his eloquent
tongue, but his paternal heart in wei
coming home the bridal couple.
1t is interesting to note that by this
marriage the crown prince brought
back to Sweden to sit as queen upon
the throne Of her fathers a great
granddaughter of the banished King
Gustave w., who was driven from
the kingdom by Bernadotte.
Most Popular Woman In Sweden.
The new king of Sweden. Gustave
v, Is said to be much less popular
than was his father. According to
report, he is reticent. sedate. exclu-
sive and undemocratic. This tend
ency is attributed by some persons
to his wife, who belongs to an ancient
line Of monarchs and holds tenaciously
to the doctrine of the divine right of
kings and the privileges Of her class.
Nevertheless, no woman in Sweden is
more popular than she. Every year
she provides a Christmas tree for the
sick poor children in the hospital at
Stockholm, going personally to the hos
pital to see the children. Her many
kindnesses to the poor and the afflict-
ed have caused her to be much beloved
throughout the country.
Gustave is forty-nine years old and is
not without experience as a ruler. For
several months during his fathers i'll
ness he was regent, ruling both Swe-
den and Norway. He showed excellent
ability. Gustave's popularity has in
creased considerably since his earlier
days, when he was quite unpopular.

WANT TO BE READING CLERK.
Many Applications for a Vacant
Senate Position.

One day last week an enterprising news.
paper reporter at the Capitol discovered
that the secretary of the Senate was look
ing around for suitable reading clerk
and that the applicant who had the best
voice for reading Senate bills and docu-
ments would be appointed to the position.
The reporter wrote it up for his paper,
and the day after it was published letters
began to pour into the secretarys ONCE
in such large numbers that everybody
around the place began to wonder what
had broken loose.
When the letters were opened and found
to contain applications for the position OF
Senate reading clerk, everybody who was
next" to the vacancy began to wonder
who had inserted an advertisement in the
papers. Each applicant declared his voice
was the finest ever, and asked only that
he be given a fair trial.
Replies are now being written to every
applicant telling him that If he has the
Endorsement of a senator he may appear
at the Capitol for trial some time before
December 10, and then ''let the best man
WIN" Many of the fifty or sixty appi-
cants have NO other Endorsement than
their own, and ali hope for them is gone.
Sometimes when the Senate is not in ses-
sion a loiterer in the gallery will hear
first one voice and then another bowling
out portions Of bills, reports, the roll, the
Congressional Record. and perhaps even
the Presidents message There will doubt
less be high voices and low voices, big
voices and small voices, clear voices and
voices that will sound like fog horns. Ev-
erybody will have his voice well oiled for
the occasion, too, and will endeavor to
prevent fatal squeakS and chokingS. 1t
will be merry time.

Gets Workhouse Sentence.

James Simmons was sent to the work
house this morning by Judge Mills Of the
Police Court for three months and a half
in default of fines amounting to $50 on
two charges of assaulting an officer and
disorderly conduct. 1t developed from the
testimony that Simmons, who was said to
be in an intoxicated condition, was stand
ing on a street corner in Anacostia last
night, cursing and insulting passers-
by. The noise attracted Policeman Esk-
ridge of the Anacostia substat ton, who
placed Simmons under arrest While con-
Quoting his prisoner up the street the lat
ter turned on his custodian and a fierce
fight ensued. necessitating the use of his
club by Eskridge, who later drew his re-
volver in order to Subdue Simmons
Upon reaching the station house Simmons
started a second time to fight, but was
quickly overcome and locked in cell.

Closing Copper Mines.

BUTTE. Mont. December 9.-Pursuant
to orders from New York all the mines OF
the Amalgamated Copper Company, ex-
cept some of those operated by the Boston
and Montana Company, are being closed
down. Work has also been stopped at the
mines of the Butte Coalition and North
Butte companies, the ores from which
were treated at the Washoe smelter, In
Anaconda. The latter plant will be
closed indefinitely and about 1000 men
will be laid off there.
Amalgamated mines that are being
closed employed about 1850 men. For
several months the Amalgamated has been
turning out about one-fourth of its nor
NAL copper production. 1t is stated that
the output of the Boston and Montana
mines will be somewhat increased as a
result of suspension of other properties.
Its ore is treated at Great Falls.
Already about 1000 men have been laid
off at the Butte mines and shelters and
the new order will add nearly 5000 to the
number.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. December 9.-An old contro-
versv has been settled in the simplest
manner by an experiment in the London
geological gardens. Certain people have
always been crying out against the feed
ing of serpents on live animals. In de-
Tense Of the custodians of the serpents it
has been pointed out that the reptiles
would not take dead animals as food. and
if given no other would die. But the su-
perintendent of the London gardens has
just announced. at meeting of the Zoo
logical Society. that this belief has been
founded on nothing more than tradition.
since he had himself been feeding the SER
penis in the society's menagere during
the past six months on dead rabbits, pig
cons, fowls and goats, all of which were
eaten with avidity. The great pythons,
which have always been fed at all zoolog-
ical gardens at home and abroad on live
goats and rabbits. have shown their read
mess to take the same animals in dead
condition.

THE PALAIS ROYAL publishes
a catalogue of Christmas pres
ents on another page of this issue
that is one of the most comprehen-
sve ever seen in a newspaper. The
list will be welcomed by a host of
anxious seekers of presents, and
the problems of what to give need
no longer perplex unless indeed the
suggestions prove so many that a
new sort of perplexity may arise.
The suggestion made in the Palais
Royal page is a good one-that the
list be preserved and used as
guide for the whole household. 1t
will be noticed that many induce
ments are presented TORTOISE MAX
ing early selections, including the
offer to suitably box and lay aside
any article for future delivery. and
the giving of special discount to
those calling during the less busy
morning hours.
When the thought comes of the
hurry and worry of seeking pres
ents from the devastated stocks in
cidental to the nearer approach of
Christmas, and when, already. the
afternoon overcrowding is only too
painfully apparent, it would seem
that only the hopelessly thought
less will overlook the advantages
of shopping early in the month
and early in the day.

Gull, trustful state OF mind which IS
reflected IN the face and manner.
Another is 10 learn 10 beauufy her
dress. This does not mean TO increase
its COmpleXity or its adherence TO the
changes Of fashion; but rather 20 study
and experiment until she hnds out what
forms, colors and styles are most be-
coming TO her. then adopt these, in hair
dressing and garments.
The third thing is TO beautify the place
wherein she lives, whether il Is one room
or a spacious home. Weed out the
wrong things; rearrange the others and
force your dwelling place 20 express In
same way your own feelings after what
is beautiful and true
No matter how circumscribed her life.
