now occupying the throne of Sweden.
In fact, the Bernadottes have the good
sense to make no secret thereof; and
the late King Oscar, whenever he visited
France, was wont TO make pilgrimage
TO the old cottage at a village in the
neighborhood of Pau, where his grand
father, Jean Baptiste Bernadotte. was
born-that Jean Baptiste Bernadotte
who. entering the ranks of the French
army as a private. being as such on duty
at the foot Of the scaffold on the occa-
sion of the execution of Louis XVI, rose
TO be marshal of France and died as
King Charles XIV of Sweden.
When Marshal Bernadotte was elected
heir TO the throne OF Sweden he left be-
hind him in France number of rela-
tives. He did not invite them to share
his good fortune: but the late King
Oscar not only hunted them up, but
treated them and their descendants as
knsmen. Thus, when at Pau he in
variably invited TO dine with him at his
hotel there a cousin bearing the name
Of Bernadotte who follows the trade of
photographer, keeping a small shop for
that purpose. At Marseilles, too, King
Oscar found other cousins in the grand
nephews and grandnieces of his grand
mother. The latter was a Marseilles
girl Of the name of Desiree Clary, and
before becoming the wife of Marshal
Bernadotte YVES fitted by the first Napo-
leon. Her father was a Marseilles stock
broker; but the Clary family has gone
down somewhat in the world as its rep
resentatives to-day consist Of a retail
grocer and a tailor, both of whom,
along with their families. were invited
by King Oscar to dine with him at his
hotel when he was last in Marseilles and
were addressed by him as cousins"
Old Queen Desiree was still alive in
the early COS. She was a dainty little
woman, very frail in appearance, but
with most charming conversation and
ma agnifcent eyes. Her married life Is
said to have been very unhappy, as her
husband, besides being extremely fickle,
appeared to forget his own peasant
origin. and after becoming king was al

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 10.
Dearf Dad: Since election day
Col. Roosevelt has received and
declined $500 invitations to make
public addresses. 1t Is not his
purpose, however, forever to re-
main silent. Before next spring
he will go to Arizona to help in the
formal opening of the Roosevelt
irrigation dam, and a few other
speaking dates will he fitted to
this engagement.
I understand that Col. Roose-
welt does not regard himself as in
any sense a candidate for the
presidential nomination of 1912,
and will do all in his power to
eliminate himself from anybody'a'
consideration. The progressive
fight must be made under some
such leadership as will be fur
nished by the candidacy of La Fol-
lette, Johnson or Beveridge.

Less is appearing now in the So

Post about Pauline the White

gent press-agenting of Mr.. Secre-
tary Norton.
The government is paying the
railroads an average of 9 cents a
pound for hauling newspapers and
periodical magazines 1000 miles.
This would be nine dollars a hun

between New York and Chicago,

is $3.50 a hundred. The express
companies last year paid a divl-
dend of IL per cent and issued an
