DENMARK.
Copenhagen.

Great mystery surrounds the con-
struction Of beautiful castle which
the kaiser is having built In SiIesia.
Contrary to his usual habit OF patron
ling German art and trade at every
occasion, the kaiser has had the plans
for the castle drawn by Danish
architect, and a famous Scandinavian
artist has been engaged to design for 1t
several complete suites Of furniture in
old Norwegian style. These two facts
combined have given rise to the opin-
ion that the kaiser intends the castle
as a present to his fourth son, Prince
Adelbert. whose enga cement to Prin-
cess Thyra OF Denmark, younger sis
ter OF King Haakon of Norway, Is ex-
pected to be announced within a
month or so.
A dispatch dated Sept. 16 from
Copenhagen says that NJ Hanson, a
Swedish horse dealer, who sold sever
al horses to King HaakoE of Norway,
was invited to take lunch with mem
bers of the royal family at Christi
anla. He had never been in court be-
fore and when the king requested
salt. Hanson thought King Haakon
was toasting him and arose, pulling the
table cloth and all the dishes on the
floor. Hanson says the king and
queen felt unhappier on his behalf
than he did.
The newly appointed United States
minister to Denmark. Maurice +.
Egan, paid his respects to King Fred
erick a week from last Friday and

The cage Of human freight was be-

other men sprang TO the assistance of

OF the side of the enginehouse and
ripped out several Of the sheaves In
and about the shafthouse.

IT to the poorhouse. They think they
had good reasons for doing so.
Mrs. Quick found the infant OH their

under a tree. When She saw that no.

had been abandoned, she caught 1t IN

As the days passed Mrs. Quick was
delighted with her new charge, but
at the same time she was perplexed
at curious change in its complexion.
The pink and white were gradually
but surely turning to pronounced
brunette shade. She told her husband
and he laughed and said she kept the
child too much In the sun. But Mrs
Quick was not satisfied. She kept care
full watch and slowly the brunette
tinge deepened. deepened into an un-
mistakable dark brown, and certain
peculiaritles in the features OF the
infant also developed.
