Catholic elIEiOu seemed 10 De more
firmly established IN that portion ov
the Kingdom than elsewhere. In
1896 delegates assembled at Dron-
theim and Christian sent them word
that he wuz King o. Denmark an
that by virtue ov the union ov the
two countries he thought hit proper
that Norway sit up an take motifs that
he wuz still dom business at hiz old
stand an that Norway ought 10 rec
ogniZe without delay. But that only
made the people oy Norway madden
an they finally engaged in riots an i
killed several ov the Kings friends
an gave motifs TO awl the balance ov
them that they must move out oV
Norway at once. This action caused
Christian to march an army into Nor
way, an before the year wuz out the
country had been completely subject
ed. Early after this the Danish nobil-
ity persuaded Christian to strip Nor
way ov awl independence. He then
published a decree an stated that
Norway wuz not able to support
King an a separate government; that
the Norway Senator'S had shown that
they were enemies oy Denmark-that
liz, the crown, that therefore, the
said Kingdom of Norway shall for
ever be subject to the crown of Den
mark He made hit plain that Nor
way must be part ov Denmark an
that he wuz not goin' to stand any
more foolishness. The Senate ov
Norway wuz abolished an citizens ov
Denmark were appointed to fill near
ly awl ov the minor positions in Nor
way.
Christian died in 1858 an wuz sue
ceeded by Frederick II. Toward the
close ov hiz reign Denmark began
TO be noticed. England sent an en-
bassy an a high honor wuz placed
upon the King. In 1888 Denmark
Princess married James vi. ov Scot
land. Frederick died in hiz fifty
fourth year, an had been King nearly
twenty-nine years.
Christian ". was only eleven years
old when hiz father died In 1921 a
treaty ov alliance wuz concluded be-
tween the Kings ov England, Den
mark. Sweden, an several ov the
princes ov Holland. The object wuz
to support Palatine. He did not
amount to much az military man,
an the treaty fell through.
BY this time Denmark had gotten
into a bad way an needed ruler
with sense and backbone. Her army
had been playin' losin' game. Her
navy wuz hardly worth the name. To
add to everything, her treasury wuz
empty The large landowners an
the quality" generally had been ex-
empted from the payment ov taxes
an this caused the poorer classes to
hev hard time in every way. This
WuZ another very clear illustration oy
the fact that the chief duty ov gov
eminent IL to restrain the strong an
to encourage an protect the weak
an hit will hold good az long az the
world stands.
In a short time Sweden an Den
mark were at outs. Norway wuz onl!
1ookin' for an opportunity to agar
cut loose from Denmark an go hi
alone.
In 1855 the jealousies between
Sweden an Denmark increased
Charles Gustavus wuZ now on tn
throne ov Denmark. He wuz smar
an he wuz ambitious. The King o.
Sweden havin' won out in few bat
ties with the forces ov Denmark, de
cided to starve out the city of Copen
hagen. But while he wuz layin' hi
plans Copenhagen got in supply o.
provisions. The island of Amak
near Copenhagen, wuz the chic
source ov supply in the way ov fresl
vegetables, an King Charles decides
to send enough troops to seize an
hold this island. The first assault
failed an by this time each govern
ment had large fleet ov old-fash
toned warships on hand an grea
naval battle took place, the Dutcl
warships assisting the Danish fleet
The Swedes finally withdrew an tn
Dutch ships landed a large supply o
provisions in Copenhagen. The wa
then grew hotter. The Norway mil
itia invaded Dronthiem, which ha
been coded to Sweden by the las
treaty. But the success ov the Dutc
allies an the conquest ov DronthieI
did not change the plans ov Kin
Charles. He had started out to cal
ture Copenhagen. In 1863 he ha
concluded treaty with the Gar al
he hoped to make an attack befor
the ice would get thick ennuff fc
troops to march from the land ov b
enemy. The plans were formed al
the different attacks were made al
ali three resulted in failure.
Peace wuz concluded an in a fe
months Frederick had effected con
