'^*^7WW' 6 By ROBER.TUS LOVE. EAN BAPTISTE JULES BERNA- DOTTE, one of Napoleon's fa mous marshals, was the grand father of Oscar II., king of Sweden, who died at Stockholm Dec. (3, and was the founder of the roy al line. Bernadotte in 1818 became feing of Sweden and Norway as Charles XIV. His son succeeded him as Oscar I. The second Oscar was the third (Son of the first Oscar and consequent fly was not reared with any expectation f reaching the throne. He was per mitted to follow his own bent, which Inclined to the sea. Young Oscar, bom Jan. 21, 1829, entered the Swed flsh navy at the age of eleven. The young prince worked hard, passing (through all the grades and winning lais lieutenancy in the regular army. Prince Oscar entered the University of Upsala at the age of twenty, where he distinguished himself in mathematics. OSCAtt II., LATE KING OF SWEDEN GTrSTAVE After his university course he resumed his career in the navy, making cruises to many lands. His brother, Gustave, the crown prince, died, and the second brother, Charles, became direct heir to the throne. Charles being childless. Prince Oscar thus became a distinct proba bility in the line of succession. He was twenty-eight years of age and un married. After visiting many Euro pean courts the prince met and mar ried Princess Sophia of Nassau in 1857. On the death of Charles XV. in 1872 Oscar II. ascended the throne. Thus the fourth Bernadotte king of Sweden and Norway was but two gen erations removed from the founder of the line, and he was born when Jules Bernadotte was still on the throne. For many years King Oscar pos sessed the distinction, of which it is said he was proud, of being the tallest }f European monarchs. He stood six A King Whom All Sweden Mourns Oscar II.

Slim, erect, dignified, he was "every inch a king." Remarkable Linguist. President Roosevelt once called King Oscar the ablest of European rulers. From his early youth Oscar always evinced a deep interest in literature and art. He became an accomplished musician and composer, a dramatist, a poet, a historian, a painter and a re markable linguist, writing eight lan guages and speaking five. King Oscar has been called the most eloquent ora tor in his country, where oratory is still held in very high esteem. Most of his literary work was done before he became king. The modesty of King Oscar has been a favorite Item of praise by his ad mirers for many years. When he trav eled abroad he usually went incognito, and even in his own country he pre- THE NEW KING, AND QUEEN ferred when on a trip to be known merely as a nobleman. It is related that on one occasion a purse proud no bleman rolled up to a wayside inn, his carriage horses spent, and haughtily demanded the hire of fresh animals. "You must wait at least an hour for fresh horses," said the landlord. "WThat? I? Bring me horses at once, my man!" "The only horses I have are being hitched up for that gentleman yon- der," said the innkeeper, pointing to a tall, slim man. The nobleman approached the tall person, saying: "I must have those horses. I will pay you a liberal bonus, my man." "I intend to use them myself," quiet ly replied the other, stepping Into his carriage. "Perhaps you are not aware vho I am," cried the haughty nobleman. "I am. sir, Field Marshal Baron George Sparre, the last and only one of my race." "I am very glad to hear that," said the tall man as he drove away, "it would be a terrible thing to think there might be more of you coming." As the tall man was King Oscar II.. it is evident that the monarch pos sessed a sense of humor along with his other qualities. Long the King of Two Countries. It Is said that Oscar's consuming de sire from the time he ascended the throne was to go down in history as "the king of peace." That he lived up to this ambition two years ago, when he permitted Norway to become a sep arate kingdom without war, is a mat ter of recent interest. For thirty-three 5 ears he had been king of Sweden and Norway, but when the latter country desired to be represented abroad by its own consuls for its own interests the king accepted the situation and permitted Norway to depart in peace, though many of his counselors urged belligerent measures. King Oscar did not believe In coercing the common people. His own grandfather was a humble country notary in France be fore he fought with Napoleon. When the king's son and successor, Crown Prince Gustave, was married to Princess Victoria of Baden in 1S81 the father revealed not only his eloquent tongue, but his paternal heart in wel coming home the bridal couple. It is interesting to note that by this marriage the crown prince brought back to Sweden to sit as queen upon the throne of her fathers a great granddaughter of the banished King Gustave IV., who was driven from the kingdom by Bernadotte. Most Popular Woman In Sweden. The new king of Sweden, Gustave V., is said to be much less popular than was his father. According to report, he is reticent, sedate, exclu sive and undemocratic. This tend ency i3 attributed by some persons to his vwfe, -who belongs to an ancient line of monarchs and holds tenaciously to the doctrine of the divine right of kings and the privileges of her class. Nevertheless, no woman in Sweden is more popular than she. Every year she pro\ides a Christmas tree for the sick poor children in the hospital at Stockholm, going personally to the hos pital to see the children. Her many kindnesses to the poor and the afflict ed have caused her to be much beloved throughout the country. Gustave is forty-nine years old and is not without experience as a ruler. For several months during his father's ill ness he was regent, ruling both Swe den and Norway. He showed excellent ability. Gustave's popularity has in creased considerably since his earlier days, when he was quite unpopular. Enthusiastic Hunter. Gustave is called the Nimrod of the Swedish family He is an enthusiastic VICTORIA. hunter. While his father's tastes ran largely to literature, Gustave's bent is toward sportsmanship. Nevertheless, he is something of a student. Gustave is an admirer of Emperor William of Germany and has made a close study of military matters. When he was regent some years ago it was a matter of gossip that he aspired to make the dual kingdom a military power, and it was said by certain Swedes at the time of the separation of Norway that if Gustave were king he "would lick the devil out of the Norwegians" rather than let them go their way. With more years and more experi ence, however, the successor to the democratic and amiable Oscar appears to have learned wisdom and acquired conservatism. It is generally believed throughout Sweden now that Gustave will make an acceptable king. Like his father, he is tall and of atrikins appearance.
