Only 143 subjects of the Swedish
crown emigrated to foreign countries
in January, 1908, as against 31S in

the patriots who are trying to stem

A Swedish journalist thus refers to
the present riksdag: 1T goes up like

pointing out the fact that the brilliant
reforms planned at the opening of the
riksdag have been already suppressed.
The following anecdote concerning
King Gustaf, while his majesty was
still the crown prince, is related: He
was riding in an automobile in the vi.
cinity Of Sparreholm. He met on the
road two peasants, riding in a cart
drawn by a horse that showed unmis
taxable signs of fear. His majesty
stopped the automobile, advanced on
foot till he reached the frightened
horse, which he unhitched and tied
Then, getting into his automobile, he
resumed his journey, when one Of the
peasants told him tauntingly that
since he had unhitched their horse he
ought also to hitch 1t up again. This
the prince did, whereupon he revealed
to the bold peasants his identity. They
enjoyed their experience greatly and
have been telling of it with great sat
isfaction since. And that is the way
gentlemen ought to act when they
meet teams on the highway, says q
Swedish writer who has evidently had
some unwelcome experiences with au.
tomobiles.
