refused 10 join in. an selected her

peared not to pay much more atten-

decided to establish a great univer-

! King or Prince Christian died in
1891, aged fifty-five. He once said:
"A King who would be great and
rule well, ought to be more compass
sionate than another men" sup
pose he meant that he should be
more compassionate than one ov the
common herd. But, be that az hit
may, I believe he cum purity nigh hit
tin the nail on the head.
