ropAv's BIRTHDAY HoNoRs.

Haakon VII. King Of Norway. was
born August 3. 1877. at Charlottenlund
Castle, In Denmark. Prior TO his
election to the throne by the Norwe.
gian people In 1905 he was Prince
Charles Of Denmark. the second son
OF the late King Frederick VIII. In
1896 he was married 10 Princess
Maud, third daughter OF King Edward
VII OF Great Britain. There was con-
siderable opposition to the marriage,
as the princess was the daughter OF
the future King OF England. while
Charles was only a Danish prince.
At that time no one forecasted the
brilliant future In store for Prince
Charles. After the marriage Prince
Charles was well received In England.
When Norway severed her connec-
ton with Sweden the name Of Prince
Charles was the only one seriously
considered In connection with the
throne. In 1905 Prince Charles and
Princess Maud were crowned at
Trendhjem under the title OF King
Haakon VII and Jueen Maud. The
royal couple have one child. Crown
Prinse Olaf. now In his thirteenth
year.
