Norwcgians and subdue them. For

fortunate thing that Norway secured
her divorce before old King oscar died.

his chief occupation was that OF a

lord when unexpected events placed
him on the throne.
The faction in Sweden which wept
because oscar declined TO shove the
mailed fist into the face Of Norway
rather fancied his tall slim, thin son
Gustave who admired Emperor Will

Of speciality Of military study. Like
our President Roosevelt, Gustave also
delights in hunting He cares com
psratively little for books. for quiet
artistic pursuits, and much for action
So Il was that the hot blooded element
stood ready 10 welcome Gustave to

eighty after having relgned as king Of
Sweden and Norway for twenty-six

Death TO Tyrants and Arlstocrats"
This explained why the old king
throughout his reign had obstlnately
refused TO let the doctors bleed him
by opening a vein in his arm after the
manner Of medical treatment in those
days. The discovery Of his earlier
motto would have caused him embar-
rassment In his later station in life.

Bernadotte became one OF Napo-

French minister OF war for a brief
period. and In 1904 Napoleon made
him a marshal Of France. Marshal
Bernadotte gave Napoleon valuable
service at Austerlitz and in other
great battles. Napoleon caused him to
be created Prince Of Pontecoryo. though
the emperor disllked him personally.
Bernadotte reciprOcated this feeling.

TO COOK BRAIsED STEAK.
Vegetables and Meat Used Together
For This Dish.

Have about two pounds of steak cut
very thick; melt one ounce of butter
or dripping in a small stewpan, then
put in a layer of mixed vegetables,
carrot, turnip. onions, ETC., cleaned
and sliced, making a layer of about
three-quarters of an inch deep; lay
in a bunch of herbs, and on all this
arrange the meat, cover down the
pan and fry it's contents for about -
or Is minutes, only shaking 1t occa-
sionally to prevent this burning; now
pour in just enough stock or water to
reach to the bottom of the meat, v
this with a piece of white paper brush
ed over with butter or dripping, then
down the pan, and let the meat
simmer very gently till it Is done,
basting the meat occasionally. The
time of cooking varies with the kind
and quality of the meat; for two
pounds of fillet Or rump steak III to
IL hours is about the time. Serve
the meat on a hot dish surrounded by
the vegetables and gravy, which should
be thickened with corn flour.

A COUNTRY BOY.
Trick He played on the City Chaps
Who Were Too inquisitive.

Font vas barefooted, and his
as he stepped out of the swamp, but
there was a picturesque appearance
o his figure that redeemed it from
the commonplace. Honesty, intelli-
gence and a laughing face were men
tai and physical characteristics that
struck the observer at once.
n he reached dry land, he held
up a rough wooden box and peered be
tween the Stats on one side. Something
w1ggled, and the boy laughed.
Say, what have you got in there?'
shouted a voice from the bridge above
the stream.
Font looked up and stared at the
two boys. He had not seen them be-
fore, and the voice, coming out of the
stiffness of the swamp, startled him.
Il say, what have you got there?"
demanded the voice more impera-
lively.
Font was not accustomed to such
~peremptory speech, and instead of re-
plying, he walked off in the opposite
direction.
He's mighty stuck up about it."
muttered the first speaker. Lets
take it away, and see what he's got"
"All right! Well teach him a les
SON."
The two boys hurried down the
slope, and in a few minutes reached
Fonts side. They were both taller
than he, but Font had the advantage
of breadth and muscle. Without
further preliminary the two boys
grabbed him by the shoulders. and
one said:
why didn't you answer me?
Haven't you any tongue in your
head?"
Font remained silent, and this irri-
