believed that had the then crown
prince and present king Of Sweden
been more of his fathers type there
would have been no separation, for
King Oscar was as popular with the
Norwegians as he was with the Swedes
and he is held In loving remembrance
by many thousands Of Norwegians to-
day. and his portrait occupies a prom
inent place in their homes.
The prince, however, was of a diff
ferent type. He embodied the Swedish
militaristic spirit, and in both his at
titude and his expressions he gave Sc
rious offense to Norwegians. The
prospect of passing under his sover-
eighty was, therefore, unsatisfactory,
and reluctance in this direction was
one of the aus which contributed
to the separation.
The kindly act Of King Oscar. and
the regard which the Norwegian peo-
pie had for him. brought the two
countries through the crisis without
the exchange Of a blow, and with
scarcely a harsh word, and the two
countries are now celebrating their
peaceful relations while practically all
the rest of Europe Is at war.

GOVERNMENT MONOPOLY IN
ARMS.

In a characteristic article H. G.
Wells, the famous English novelist.
pointing out some OF tho results of
the present system Of private manu-
facture of arms, urges that this indus
try be made hereafter a close govern
ment monopoly. MIR. Wells has some
very pertinent facts to set forth in
support of his argument. He points
to the late scandals in connection with
the connection between the Krupp
factories and the European govern
ments, and calls attention to the facts
which were brought out that these
manufacturers have maintained paid
newspapers, spy systems. and regular
bureaus in several of the important
European cities for the purpose of
creating war are and thereby ere
ating q market for their product. All
Of this is recent history.
Mr.. Wells proposes that the man
u%facture of arms and ammunition be
taken entirely u of the hands of pri-
waite persons and he handled directly

Sophie Peel. with a knife in one
hand and a basin in the other, her
little square shawl over her shoulders.
and a blue sunbonnet that morning
resurrected from the tomb of a winter
packing chest upon her head, was
roaming the narrow confines of her
yard in search Of dandelions. The
grass had only just begun to freshen,
for the season was late. and dande-
lions We're as hard to find as the pro-
verbal needle in the haystack. But
even two or three would make a bite
of tasty salad such as Sophie hank
cred after.
She had espied a d%electable herb
and was just about to pounce upon it
when h heard the sound of wheels,
and looking up saw a load of NOV
ahles coming down the street. Sophie
recognized the cartman and his as
ststant, but she did not recognize the
goods. Curiosity began to grow
within her. When the load drew UP
before the next house and halted she
stared openly. The quest of dande-
lions was forgotten.
The men climbed down and began
to carry in the furniture. There was
a good deal Of 1t, and 1t looked new
and nice. Whoever the new tenant
was she had excellent homemaking
implements. Sophie racked her brain
IN an effort to guess the name of her
new neighbor. The house had stood
empty all winter, and it was a very
good house, too. She could not re-

day they came near to wrangling, and
Mrs. Wheeler went home disturbed,
wondering what had come over Sophie
to make her act so "big feeling"
Sophie continued to press neighbor-
ly attentions upon Mrs. Delaney. She
even sent Ina May to help hang the
parlor curtains. And before Mrs. De-
lancy was fairly settled she put or
the purple rose and went formally to
call. Two days later she had Mrs
Delaney over. to tea. It was a great
occasion. But the next morning Mrs
Wheeler avoided her when they were
out in their respective back yards,
And at the sewing circle that after
noon she "acted like fury as Sophie
confded later to Ina May.
However, the friendships Of the
glory Of possessing Mrs. Delancy's
alone. Sophie's great joy came when
Mrs. Delaney asked her to go down
town one morning to help her select
a rug for the dining room. To &c
shopping with Mrs. Delaney in the
face of the whole town seemed to
lift Sophie to the very pinnacle OF
social ambition. And when, as it
chanced, she came face to face with
kept her eyes on Mrs. Delaney and
pretended not to see Jane at all. Jane
was "huffy,'' and she could get over
it, or not, as she pleased. Sophie did
not care.
So the acquaintance progressed, and
Sophie held her little old gray head
higher and higher. The spring how-
cred into fragrance and it came to be
a daily occurrence for her to run
quence, she had no time or inclina-
ton for the other neighbors.
There came a raw gray Sunday
when Ina May had a slight sore
throat and decided to doctor with salt
pork and vinegar while Sophie went
to church alone. A union service for
that evening was announced from the
pulpit, and on the way home Sophie
conceived the clever idea of asking
Mrs. Delaney to go to church with
her. She hurried into the house,
breathless.
HAS Mis- Delaney got home from
her church yet?" she demanded of
Ina May.
Ina May had been crying.
II don't know and I don't care" she
sobbed childishly. 1--WE had an awful

"She amt got no hens"
"She has too. And she let 'em out.
And they've scratched everything up
in the garden. Go and see If they

Mrs. Peel turned pale. She passed
to the window. Scattered about over
both lots We're hens-big. fat, yellow
hens. Industriously engaged in
scratching for worms or taking dust
baths. The garden was indeed a
wreck.

Sophie. The garden was Ina Mays
pride, and they looked to 1t for most
Of their ~provender. She had never
dreamed that Mrs. Delaney would
keep hens. But she remembered with
a start the two big crates which the
cartman had carried into the Delaney
barn Just at dusk the night. before.
She had wondered then what those
crates contained. Now she knew.
At that moment she saw Mrs. De-
,lancy sit down at the open window

NORWAY N SWEDEN.

1t is now nine years since Norway
established herself as a kingdom in
every way separating her from her
sister kingdom, Sweden. Prior to that
time, and since the proclamation OF
independence of nearly a century ear
lier, the two countries have been in
dependent of each other, but the same
king presided over both. The arrange
mont became unsatisfactory to Nor
way for various reasons, one of which
was that. in the Eyes Of the world 1t
implied a sort Of tnferiority or subor-
dination to Sweden, and it was deter
mined that this relation should be end
ed.
II liz the general belief that the sep
aration would not have been effect
ed without war had 1t not been for
the wisdom and tact OF the late King
Oscar, the last joint ruler OF the two
countries. In fact there are many who

I'm tickled half to DEATH" cried
Sophie, radiantly.
Mrs. Delaney was the object Of her
deepest admiration. Though they
had both lived in Westmore for years,
Mrs. Peel had not met Mrs. Delaney
a half dozen times. Mrs. Delaney
was a lady of prominence and moved
sophie's. She had money and an
a~ristocratic air; she was handsome
and dressy; her widowhood became
her; she was chary of her favors; she
was, indeed, all Sophie would have
liked to be. had nature and fortune
been kinder to- her. Sophie strove
after her favor as the moth seeks the
candle.
And now the star had suddenly
worshipper. Mrs. Delaney was actu-
ally moving into the neighborhood.
She was coming next door. Another
day would bring her within twenty
feet of Sophie Peel's windows. Such
proximity seemed to place them on
the same footing. They would have
to be intimate from necessity. Sophie
Peel felt happy and triumphant.
All the rest of the day she watched

ately after Mrs. Delaney arrived with
a stout woman to aid her. All the
evening the sound Of q tack hammer
was to be heard. o
Next morning Sophie rose an hour
before her usual time and made
breakfast rolls. When they had come
forth, hot and brown, from the oven,
she arranged some on, her best blue
plate, covered them with a napkin
and took them across to the next
house.
Mrs. Delaney answered the rap at
the door.
ooh! 1 thought it was the hired
man." she exclaimed. you're up
early, Mrs. Peel"
Il always get up early replied
Sophie and delivered her tribute. II

breakfast"
Mrs. Delaney looked pleased.
Why, that's very kind Of YOU
very kind" she said. Thank YOU
Mrs. Peel. Til tell Anna to hurry
breakfast so that We may have them
while they're hot"
Sophie went home in an ecstasy.
Her offering had been graciously re-
ceived. She had shown Mrs. De-
lancy that she meant to be very
neighborly. and Mrs. Delaney had re-
sponded. Her desire for intimacy
with Mrs. Delaney seemed about to be
granted. 1t was no wonder that she
built air castles or that she showed
an air Of superiority to Mrs. Wheeler,

GETTING DOWN TO WAR
:. BUSINESS.

Chicago Herald: There is a report
that Turkey is thinking Of entering
the war as an ally of Germany. This
report is denied at Constantinople,
which is said to have assured Great
Britain hat she intends to preserve
her neutrality.
Whether the report is true or not,
there can be little doubt that Ger
many would welcome Turkish assis-
lance. She would welcome it and use
it for the same reason that England
is utilizing the power Of the Japan
csc.
In brief, in this war every nation
involved is going to make use Of all
the human instruments at it's disposal.
The fact that a race is brown or yell
low. European or Asiatic, will cut no
figure. The nation will use it for its
present need, and let the future take
care Of itself.
If any justification is needed the
casuists of each nation may be relied

lack good Excuses for awaiting itself
Of every possible in time of

The English are now utilizing the
Japanese, the French have already in
troduced some Moorish troops into
Europe, and Germany, whose in1u-
ence is strong in Turkey, will unques-
tionably use that country If she needs
her and Turkey ia willing.
For Germany to criticise England
or France or for France and England
to criticise Germany for having re-
course to the aid of the brown or vel
low races would be a case of the pot
calling the kettle black.
In this war everything that looks

AN EXPECTED FIGURE WAS
MISSING.

As the Constituencies army
marched into the City Of Mexico. the
more thoughtful observers among the
crowds that watched the triumphant
rev~olutionists must have noted with
some apprehension that the man lead
ing them was not the man to whose
military ability. their success was
largely due. The winner of battles, the
general who made an invincible force
Of sternly disciplined soldiers out of
scattered bands with difficulty distin-
guishable from bandits, the litter
ate peasant who in a few months rose
out of an o%bscurity shot only with
criminal CLEANS into a position where
he was visible from far beyond the
borders of his own country, the com
mander whose has been no less
well demonstrated than his courage

Seemingly the provisional president

serious. Villa in the City Of Mexico
might be dangerous to the new ad-
m~inistration, but out of it he cannot
be more easily controlled, and there
are already rumors that there will be
further need for just such abilities as

it would be better to have him for a

Mrs. Delaney looked out.
why, yes, they are" she replied.
Handsome fowls, aren't they? I got
them last night, I've always wanted
to keep chickens, but I've lived
where I could. There Is plenty Of room
for them here"
They've ruined my garden" said
Sophie. you'll have to shut 'em
up"
"shut them up! Oh, MOI" replied
Mrs. Delaney. She looked ruffled at
the suggestion.
,"Then you'll have to fence them in"
said Sophie, also beginning to be
ruffled. II can't have them in my
garden"
There are two sides to the fence
question:" said Mrs. Delaney, with a
little sharp laugh. you can fence
them out as we'll as I can fence them
in"
Sophie trembled. She felt the very
foundations Of the earth shivering
under her tread. But the spark Of
her old Grandmother Sniffles leaped
and sputtered and fred her as IL she
were composed of combustibles.
I'll see a lawyer about this!" she
cried.
Dol" returned Mrs. Delaney. And
shut the window in Sophie's face.
Sophie also shut hers. AS she did
she caught sight of Jane Wheeler
coming slowly along from church.
She had certainly heard the final ex-
change Of volleys.
All that afternoon Sophie and Ina
May chooed hens and mourned over
the remains of the garden. That
night Sophie did not sleep. Next
morning she rose UP, determined, and
went to see Lawyer Wiltsie.
Within twenty-four hours a tight
wire fence divided the premises. So
phie had put it up at her own ex-
pense. She moreover closed all the
blinds on the side of the house next to
Mrs. Delancy's. And she and Mrs.
Delaney did not speak when they met.
When it was all over, Sophie fell
i'll with nerves and took to her bed.
Before she had been there an hour
Jane Wheeler came over with a bottle
of grape juice and one Of her famous
cup custards.
I'm not tho kind to hold a grudge,'
she said pointedly.
Sophie was humble I'M grateful.
"Old friends are best" she sighed.
1t is lucky that the skunk is not as
b~loodthirsty az his war cry.
