A KING IN DISGUISE.

Ever since Car Peter. the great,
worked as common laborer in the
docks of Holland, in order to Learn
how to build ships, there has perhaps
not been an instance OF monarch
laying aside the royal insignia
and donning the simple duds OF a
workingman until the other day. when
King Gustave of Sweden Joined the
stevedores and performed an honest
days work for the purpose of learning
the conditions under which 1aborers
live. Monarchs have led troops in bat
tie and performed works OF heroism
in the view of armies, but very seldom
have they taken any active part In the
industrial battles for life in which so
tave has done this.
For some time Sweden has suf-
fered from a strike that has caused
general stasnation of business. In a
country with paternal government
the king Is naturally looked up to as an
arbiter OF such differences. But in or
der to perform this duty he must know
the full truth. King Gustave, ii seems,
had reason to suspect that the reports
which were permitted to reach him
were not entirely reliable, and so he
decided to find out for himself what
ever he could. by mingling with the
laborers. This course seems entirely
wise and consistent, and II his ma
jesty continues his personal investigu-
tions he cannot but learn many things
OF benefit to him, as the father OF his
country.
King Oscar, his distinguished father,
was a very popular monarch because
he kept in close touch with the people.
Charles XIV. his uncle. was also popular
because he mingled with the people,
and understood them. King Gustave
makes no mistake If he studies the
needs of his subjects and stands up for
the interests of the working classes.
For they are, after all. the strength OF
the crown.

GREELy FOR COOK.

| In view OF the fact that Dr.. Cooks

1t is interesting to notice that Gen
Grecly does not hesitate to accept
| Cooks claim in advance of the final
verdict. In his last edition of Hand
book OF Polar Discoveries he says. as
quoted by the Springfield Republican:
Phenomenal as was the success OF
Cook. and unsurpassed as were the final
marches OF Peary, the writer, from his
personal knowledge of the Smith sound
environment and of both explorers.
iInds himself constrained to give full
credit to their reports, though Cooks
are bitterly contested"

due credit for the discovery of the
pole" And again: "In this great jour
ncy to the pole. Peary exhibited high
qualities as Arctic expert, as admini-
strator. and as sledgeman. He sur
passed tho speed record of all predeces-
sors-traveling per cent faster than
Cook" There IS glory enough for both.
Gen. Greely. in 1881. was placed In
command Of an expedition to establish
one of chain of 13 circumpolar sta
tions. He reached a latitude of SO de-
grees. "a minutes. the highest on record
