King Gustave who was forced off the
throne to make room for Charles XIII,
and Crown Prince Charles John, or
Bernadotte. Should the young Crown
Prince Gustave Adolph, who last year
married the beautiful English princess,
Margaret of Connaught, come to the
throne Sweden will enjoy one of the
curious compensations of history. Gus
tave Adolph is a Vasa, lineal de-
scendant of the great Gustavus Adolf
plus who by his victorious battles amt
his wise foreign policy made Sweden
during the seventeenth century one
of the greatest of European powers.
Gustave ", the new king, is the fifth
Bernadotte to occupy the throne and
the first one to find himself ruler of
but one country. Norway's separation
from Sweden two years ago, after
nearly twenty years of dissatisfaction
with the dual arrangement, leaves Gus
tave with the affairs of only little Swe-
den on his hands. His father, the ven
cradle Oscar H., who died Dec. 8, strove
without avail to conciliate Norway and
finally permitted the sister country to
depart in peace and elect a king OF her
own. It was the general impression.

eighty, after having reigned as king Of
Sweden and Norway for twenty six
years. it was discovered that upon his

his reign had obstinately refused to let
the doctors bleed him by opening a
vein in his arm after the manner of

discovery of his earlier motto would
have caused him embarrassment in his
later station in life.
Bernadotte became one of Napoleon's
generals when the Corsican appeared
upon the scene. He was French min
lister of war for a brief period. and in
1904 Napoleon made him marshal
Of France. Marshal Bernadotte gave
Napoleon valuable service at Austen
litz and in other great battles. Napo-
leon caused him to be created prince
of Pontecorvo, though the emperor dis
liked him personally. Bernadotte re-
ciprocated this feeling. In that era

Most women desire beauty-indeed,

there has come great demand for

desired result. I tell them to sleep;
sleep wakens up the brain wonderfully.

of the people. Three fourths of the
Swedish people make their living by
farming. They are excellent farmers,
too, as the million and more Of them
who have emtgrated to America prove
by their work in some of our Northern
states. The Swede likes more than
anything else to be let alone and to
let others alone. The fussy frenzies
of some of his European neighbors
merely cause him to shrug his Shout
ders and proceed with his blowing.
Now that the Norwegian problem is
settled by absolute divorce Sweden is
able to greet her new ruler without
fear that he will disturb the peace of
the people by seeking to force the Nor
wegians to be submissive. If Gustave
pursues the policy of the preceding
Bernadottes he will strive to make
Sweden great within herself by devel-
oping her resources and building up
her industries.
King Gustave has some unfortunate
physical handicaps. He is quite near

wear glasses, thus detracting from that
fine military aspect which he is said

old line of Vasa sovereigns had been
assassinated in 1892, leaving his three
year-old son to succeed him as Gus
tave ~. The boy king was compelled
to renounce the crown for himself and
his direct heirs seventeen years later,
his uncle being made king as Charles
XIII. This king was childless. The
rest of Europe began concerning itself
as to his successor. At length, in the
hope that the mighty. Napoleon would

Swedish diet elected the prince Of Pom

part Napoleon played in seating one
of his marshals upon the Swedish
Throne. IS
Bernadotte seems to have liked his
new position immensely. FIe set about
qualifying himself to succeed Charles
XIII. Sweden having joined the allies
against Napoleon in 1913 and 1914, Ber-
nadotte mounted his horse and led the
army of his adopted country against

Napoleon at Leipsic as valiantiy as he
had fought for him at Austerlitz. In

he would like to lead an army of
Swedes against the Norwegians and
subdue them. For the peace Of Europe
1t is perhaps a fortunate thing that
Norway secured her divorce before old
King Oscar died.
Gustave v. is by no means youth.
His age is forty nine. He has had ex-
perience, too, in the king business.
Several times his father retired tenn
porarily on account of illness and
placed Gustave in charge of affairs as
regent. Gustave gave satisfaction as
regent ruler. There was one party
which admired him for his semi mill
tary swagger and which held that old
King Oscar was pretty much of mol
lycoddle., Oscar was primarily liter
airy person and only incidentally
king. Being the third son of his faith
er, in his youth he never expected to
become the ruler Of Sweden and Nor
way. His father, Oscar l., old Berna-
dotte's son, was something of a literary
man, being the author-of a volume of
verse and of other writings. The
younger Oscar devoted himself most
assiduously to literary composition. He
was sailor and commanded naval
vessels on various cruises, but his chief
occupation was that of a writer. Ten
pages in his publishers catalogue are
required to enumerate the titles of his
works, which include poetry drama,
history, essays and criticism. Natural
ly man of his stamp was not inclined
to be a war 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
liam Of Germany and made something
of a speciality of military study. Like
our President Roosevelt, Gustave also
delights in hunting. He cares COM
parhively little for books, for quiet,
artistic pursuits, and much for action.
So it was that the hot blooded element
stood ready to welcome Gustave to
the throne.
But for the most part the Swedes are
peace loving people. Most of them
held old King Oscar in the highest re-
spect and generation just because he
was king who stood for peace and
for the material and spiritual progress

Sweden under the Bernadottes has
been fortunate in having kings of ma

fifty-four when he assumed the scep-

Charles XIV, eldest SOB of Oscar l., be-
came ruler at thirty three and was
succeeded by his younger brother, Os-
