1914 IS NORWAY'S
 CENTENNIAL YEAR
By wm. Britt.

On the seventeenth of May this year 1t will be one hundred years since the Norwegians tore themselves loose from the inglorious union with Denmark and re-established the old Kingdom of Nor, way with constitution more dem. ocratio perhaps thany any republican form of government now in exist ence.
 Norway is now preparing for cen tenary celebration of her national in' dependence to be held during the com ing summer throughout the country, and also for centennial exposition at Christiana from May 15 to octo- Der 15. Primarily this exposition has been planned to exploit the wonderful advancement Norway has made along development lines during the past cen tury, and secondly to bring her sons and daughters together from all parts of the globe to get acquainted. The directors of the exposition ex- pect a tremendous rendezvous of Nor wegians and Norwegian descendants, and 1t is learned from transportation sources that not less than 15O,OOO from the United States alone will attend the opening of the festivities.
 The exposition is located in the beau tiful vicinity of Christiana, and one of its main buildings is dedicated to and called "The Emigrated Norway" In this building everything will be done to make the visiting relatives feel at home. Besides. there will be exhibited photographs, pictures, paint ings and other objects Illustrating cir cumstances, conditions, homes and en- vironments of emigrated Norwegians in all parts of the world,
 Norway has every reason to be proud of her progress in the past cen tury. Opposed by the powers of Flu rope, then allied against the great Ma poleon, she forced herself to an inde- pendence.
 With a population of less than three millions she has built up a merchant marine that IS second only to England's and Germanys. With the aid of cleo tricity she has developed wonderful industries in various lines. In art, lit erature, music and science she has produced men like Guide, Dahl, Thau- low, Skeibrok. Bjornson, Ibsen, Lee, Bull. Gricg, Munck, Abel, etc,
 Illiteracy is unknown, and she stands today as one of the leading na- tions of Europe in general education and industrial progress.

DOUGLAS PLANS ON
 IMPROVING BUILDINGS

As the spring approaches many Douglas people are beginning to plan improvements. Among them, Mir. P. II. Fox is seriously contemplating a decided change in his store front by moving several of his large display windows around to the D street side and changing the main entrance to the corner.
 Along about the first of April the Odd Fellows will begin the work of re- newing the foundation under their building on Second street. They may put a concrete basement under the en- tire building.-Douglas News.

all my time when was in it praying for the day when
managers would think that 1 was worth something
better
Lakenham shook his head vigorously. ~Al depends
upon what you would call something better of course.
For my part, give rattng good musical comedy,
with jolly good waltz tune lots of pretty girls in slap
up frocks, and principal like you There's nothing
better that l know Of"
ooh, but there is, really' Sybi1 protested "That
may be all very pretty and graceful but isn't the real
thing"
"And what, Lucille asked calmly, "s the real thing?"
Mot to anuse people, Sybil replied, "but to make
them feel. Laughter, mrth-compelng stories, and
musical comedies minister only to the holiday
OF life To portray real emotions, to excite real
pathes, to make people think send them away feeling
that they have passed through little eptome of life,
to break through the crust and make them conscious for
few moments of the great things,-that seems
much more wonderful
Jeryn laid his hands upon hers; his eyes glowed with
pleasure "That," he declared "is what we are going
to do
Lakenham laughed long and boiserously. "If all the
pretty in London fill their heads with
those IDEAS" he exclaimed, "ha the theaters would
have to close their doors before the over and
the other half wouldn't pay. 1t won't do Miss Cluley.
The stage in London at any rate wasn't for that
sort of thing. Amusement is what all want nova

waltzed upon the stage. You'll never do anything
greater than that
She made little grimace at him. 4For you, perhaps,
no. Lord Lakenham; but then you see, there many
people in the world who have other Standards
"Thank Heaven!' Jermyn remarked under his
breath. "And now,' he added, rising @you have all
been warned. There some people in the drawing
room who want bridge-a couple of men from the bar
racks who couldn't get in time to dine, and the
local doctor, who they tell me, quite first class Miss
Cluley and going to read, and mustn't be dis
turbed upon any pretext."

in low chair and took up the play. Suddenly she held
out her white him.

Her eyes large and round and pleading, her

frame seemed shaken with suppressed feeling. He
dropped on one knee by her side

@You know that it is all true love you very dearly,

They look though they belonged entirely and alto
gether to the world. They like Lord Lakenham.
And you different. You very different, aren't
you, Jermyn? Your face is grave and quiet some
times, and you look though the ordinary things of
life didn't anuse interest you. You look all the time
though you seeking for something better,

toward the clouds. You to be listening for the

to write like the mmortas to inspire with ambition.
DO you know that you are bewtching tonight" he
murmured. This afternoon you looked little tired,
almost worried. There frown somewhere upon

Sybil let herself go from that moment. She gay,
she was charming she was joyous. Even Lucille watch
ing her always from her place the end of the table,
admitted to herself that this little girl from the theaters
was no unworthy rival. Lord Lakenham, to whom she
talked with spirit and whom she rallied gently
upon his during the early stages of dinner
seemed to change by degrees his whole attitude toward
her. From the suspicious resentment of a man whose
attentions have been sighted, he developed admra
tlon that he took no pal!ls to conceal He Wed with
Jermyn in gallant speeches. his eyes followed her all the
time He drank glass after glass of champagne and his
manner became more and more unrestraned. Jermyn
grew little reserved toward the end of the meal He
glad enough to the slight antagonism between
Sybi and his cousin removed but he certainly did not
approve OF Lakenhams present attitude.
Jermyn, old fellow, m not that you deserve

assured him. "On the contrary Miss Culey and are

bled. Il used to like Miss Cluey before you got hold

quietly, Il do not consider 1t
good taste on your part to go
to your study and shut your
self up with Miss Cluley.'
"My dear Lucille he pro-
tested, don't you understand
Miss Cluley came down here
simply that we might study
my new play together. She
has not seen her part yet, and
it is to be produced within
three months. There is really
not an hour to lose
Lucille shrugged her shoul-
ders slightly and passed on her
way out of the room. Jermyn
watched her disappear with a
puzzled frown upon his fore
head.
Il am not sure," he said to
Sybil, as they crossed the hall
together, @that quite under

"Then you are a goosel7 she
laughed.
TERMYN'S study was the old
= library of the house, only a
trifle modernized. The book
cases, which reached to the
ceiling, we're mellow with age;
but the interior of the room,
though still preserving a GER
tain scholarly tone, gave evil
dences of more modern taste.
A baby grand piano stood in
one corner. There were guns
and fishing rods and cricket
bats in evidence. The win
dows opened on the lawn, and
beyond were the woods, behind
which the moon, slowly rising,
was already visible. Jermyn
dragged the writing table up
to the open windows and lit a

Even Lucille, gowned by
Paquin and with a European
reputation for smartness, could
find no fault with her guest as
she entered the room. Sybil
wore a dinner gown of blue net,
which a famous dressmaker had
designed for her, and a large
bunch of white sweet peas
which Je1myn had sent to her
room. Her face was suddenly
freed from the little cloud that
had sometimes hovered there
during the afternoon. 1t was
as though her great happiness
had triumphed over every an
xiety, had finally crushed the
presentinent that had dis
tressed her. She moved joy
fully, her cheeks were pink; her
eyes, soft and glowing with ex-
element, seemed actually to
have increased in size. There
was a touch almost of shyness
as she took Jermyn's arm.
Somehow or other the news
seemed to have spread, and the
old butler and the other ser
wants whom they passed on
their way to the dining room
bowed with new Difference.

softly, "has it had SO lovely a
