A Century Ano.

One hundred years ago Napoleon
took leave of his soldiers at Fontaine-
bleau, preparatory to beginning his
exile at Elba. On the same day Louis
XVIII entered London in state and
few days later sailed from Dover for
France to ascend the throne vacated
by Napoleon. In the midst Of the
enthusiasm excited among certain
classes of the French people by the
fall of Napoleon and the restoration
OF the monarchy. there was felt gem
orally painful sense OF depression.
As the celebrated historian. Lamar

had great courage or thirst of pow

HSakon uses the word subjects"
The word is asrelic of the institution

misnomer when applied to Ameri-

connection.
Christiania.--The centennial cele-
bration of the independence of Nor
way began with a great patriotic
demonstration here. Forty thousand
children bearing the national flag
paraded yesterday before the roy
al palace In the morning, while the
military and civil procession in the
afternoon included 5000 Americans
who carried the stars and stripes. The
Americans were cheered by the enor-
nous crowds along the route. Many
Of them had arrived only just in time
to participate In the parade, headed
by the Luther College band from De-
corah, La. American flags were in
evidence everywhere. King Haakon
gave special audience to the Ameri-
can delegates. Albert @. Schmede-
mann, American minister, introduced
them, and all of them were invited by
the king to attend banquet at the
palace. The royal family, the Ameri-
can delegates and the Norwegian off,
Gals went to Trondhjem to attend the
services In the Cathedral Of Trondh-
jem. which is the most imposing
church in Norway.
On the occasion of the celebration
of the centennial jubilee great Amer
lean daily contained the following ed
itorial remarks: "At peace with all
her neighbors. enjoying political liber-
ties such as few of them possess, pros
porous In trade and industry, beloved
of her children scattered over the
