age, his father, upon the death
of King Frederik VII became
King of Denmark.
In those first twenty years oil
his life he lived in a very modest
home. His father was born very
poor and taught his children
economy. Never pay out any
money without knowing the value
of the thing to be bought and it's
absolute necessity, was the rule
of his father. The mother like
wise, taught the lessons Of econ
omy to all the children. His
sisters therefore learned cooking,
dressrnaking and millinery work,
as she herself had learned to do,
and first and last Of all not to
consider work a disgrace for
Princes and Princesses. 1t can be
stated on good authority, that
Queen Alexandra, Dowager
Queen of England, has never
worn a hat that was not either
wholly or in part made by her
self. She and her sisters had
such success that the noted
French Milleners found in them
their equal.
AS a boy the King attended
the Grammar School with other
children in Copenhagen; later as
a young man he studied to pre-
pare himself for entering the
University, the able Prof. L. W.
Petersen being his Tutor.
At the age of seventeen years
he was confirmed together with
his sister Princess Alexandra
From this time his studies were
continued at the Royal Univer'
sity of Copenhagen and at Ok.
ford University, England. Three
years later his father became
King, but this made no change ii
his life with the only exception
that he now took the street car:
forth and back on his way to thu
University, whereas before HI
had walked. Otherwise he asso
ciated with his classmates a!
before.
When the wal OF 1864 broke GU
he was a student Of Jurisprudence
at Oxford he went home at one
to take part in this war. Late
he was honored by this Univer
sity with the degree of LID
Previous to this time his militar,
career had started with common
soldier life; first with the Infantr,
and the with the Dragons. H
carried his own knapsack, ate tn
same food as the other common
soldiers, with the same utensils
wooden spoon, iron fork am
knife, polished his own shoes
ETC., until after serving his tim
as a common soldier he entere,
a military academy and wa
promoted according to his worl
until he became a General in tn
army where he was loved an
honored by all.
He was married July 18th
1860, to the beloved daughter o
King Carl XIV Of Sweden-Nor
way. This evidently being a tru
and real love affair and bot
having much the same under
standing of life, their marriag
created indeed, a home such a
is an honor and an example to al
the people for whom he late
should become King.
Reared in a home where NOR
economy was practiced than i
the average home Of today, an
where true simplicity made j
possible to carry titles with sober
ness, mingling with his peopl
in childhood as a boy among boy
as a youth among the youth, the
as a common soldier and officer
is it no wonder that he knew hi
people and that he, the Philar
tropist, the friend of the poo:
was loved by all? This simp1icit
explains also his travelling incog
nltio and walking upon the street
of Hamburg as a common mar
wearing a business suit and whe
found not one single thing abor
him indicated his greatness say
his conversation with DR.. Selig
man, the Physician, the last ma
with whom he talked, and the fac
that reflected his great and lovin
heart.
