IN THE PUBLIC EYE

King Gustav ", who enters upon his sixty-fifth year today, is now nearing the completion of his fifteenth year on the Swedish throne. The King is direct ly descended from that Marshal Berna- dotte who, commencing his career by carrying a mushet for the great Napoleon ended by receiving the kingdom of Du- gald Dalgetty's great northern hero At the age of twenty-three Gustav was mar ried at Karlsruhe to Princess Victoria, only daughter of the Grand Duke of Baden. While Crown Prince he several times ruled as regent during the ill., ness of his father, King Oscar. He is a man of energetic character and in ear Her life had decided predilection for militarism He differs from his father the late King, in possessing little or no taste for literature or for science. Since coming to the throne, however, he has endeared himself to his subjects by the intelligent and marked concern which he has manifested in all matters that pertain to their welfare.
