CHRISTIAN X.

King Christian K of Denmark, all though not an active participant in the Europan war, doubtless awaits the, issue with some misgivings, for his little country has long been the object of the covetous gaze of Prus- sia King Christian will be 45 years old tomorrow, having been born Sept 26, 1870. His father was the late Frederick VIII, and his mother Princess Louise of Sweden, a niece of King Gustaf V. The Kings grand father, Christian Tx, was German, son of William. Duke of Schleswig- HoIstein. He was a descendant of wife. Princess Louisa of Hesse-C Cas- sell. The Danish monarch is a brother of King Haakon of Norway. One of his sisters, Princess Ingeborg, is the wife of Prince Charles of Swe- den, brother of King Gustaf. The Dowager Queen of Great Britain, the FDowager Empress of Russia, and the King Christian. and King Constantine of Greece is his cousin. In uniting with Norway and Sweden in an al1i- ance for mutual protection, Denmark has taken a step which will doubtless prove of great benefit. The Danes look upon the Prussians as their worst enemies, and not without cause, for they still recall with bit terness Bisnarck's ruthless campaign in 1883, when the Prussian army marched into Denmark and wrested from that country part of her fair est territory. At that time the Prince had just married the Princess Alex andra of Denmark, and. this added to English sympathy for the unhappy Danes. The English people raised large subscriptions for the wounded Danes, and in other ways manifested their sympathy for the Danish cause. For centuries the ambitious projects of the monarchs to gain the ascend ancy over their Scandinavian neigh bors have made enemies of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, but now that the kings have been deprived of all power it is altogether likely that the Scandinavian peoples will dwell to- gether in unity, presenting a solid front against any enemy.

ROCKEFELLER's FIRST JOB.

The first money earned by John D. Rockefeller was as office boy and as sistant bookkeeper with the old com mission firm aof Hewitt & Futile in Cleveland. The worlds richest man got his first job just 60 years ago to- day, Sept. 25, 1855, and he has ever since ce1ebfated that day as marking hhe beginning of, his business career. The oil magnate has since confessed that he found that first position diff cult to get, and that he tramped the streets of Cleveland for weeks, ask ing, merchants and business men if they had not some use for a lad, be- fore he finally connected with the elusive job MT. Rockefeller's first place paid the munif1cent salary of $4 per week. Even from that small sum he contrived to save a few pennies, and. as his weekly stipend increased, his savinga grew larger, until he had $50, which he loaned at 7 per cent Later he became borrower, and with two friends managed to get to- gether enough money to buy a small petroleum refinery. Half a century ago he owned several refineries and launched the Standard Oil Company, which has made him the wealthiest of the worlds plutrocrats.

A great deal of film comedy is horse-play, but David w Griffith in ''The Birth of a NationS' which comes to Polls all week of October 4. proves that quiet refined comedy is big laugh maker and pleases people bet ter than the old style crude methods.
 One of the best laughs in '"Fhe Birth of Nation" is the love-sick sentry in the hospital scene gazing at Elsie Stoneman. This particular bit is of the ''sure f1re' order, for never does an audience miss the rapt devotion of the sentinel and the naughty expression of the young lady rebuking him with million-nliles- away look.
