A Visible Streak.
Colonel Norris is Dane with
streak of eccentricity that is visible at
all times. Years and years ago, when
John G. Fremont was appointed min.
lister to Denmark, Norris called on him
at his residence in Copenhagen. He
tells the story of meeting Mrs. Ere
mont coming down the stairs and in
quiring Of her if she had seen Mr..
Fremont.
