new king of Sweden who
THE taken the title of Gustave
V Is a great grandson of a
boy who ran away from his
home In Tau France to go to sea but
got caught in the maelstrom of the
French revolution and became a skillful
general minister of war and marshal
of France under Napoleon and finally
king of Sweden and Norway His orig
inal name was Jean Baptiste Jules Ber
nadotte Anybody who has read that
once popular book J T Headleys
Napoleon and His Marshals will re
member that Bernadotte galloped all
through its pages now here now there
at Wagram at Austerlitz always show
ing high skill and gallantry
Napoleon who disliked Bernadotte
preferred to have him fight for rather
than against him Accordingly in re
ward for the marshals brilliant serv

town Some years later the Swedish
diet elected Bernadotte crown prince
of Sweden hoping thus to gain the
favor of Napoleon Bernadottes ele
vation however was extremely dis
tasteful to the French emperor who
knew that his former marshal cordial
ly despised him These are the facts
of history and they are in direct op
position to the popular supposition that
Napoleon placed Bernadotte on the
Swedish throne
Gustave V therefore is but three
generations from a humble French citi
zen However by marriage of Berna
dotte princes during those generations
with royal princesses the new ruler
has several strains of kingly blood in
his veins It is said that he is the
first of the Bernadottes to be accepted
or cordial terms by the aristocracy of
Sweden this proud element having
scorned old Jules Bernadotte and his
son and grandsons because of their
plebeian extraction Gustave is as
sumed by the aristocracy to have a
preponderance of truly royal blood
By the elevation of Gustave to the
throne a daughter of one of Europes
proudest families becomes queen of
Sweden Gustaves wife is Victoria
daughter of the Grand Duke of Ba
den and granddaughter of old Emper
or William I of Germany Queen Vic-

KING GUSTAVE
of Sweden
toria is a first cousin of the present
German emperor She is described as
an extremely clever woman fond of
painting and sketching and talented
as a writer She is also an excellent
cook In which fact she is said to take
much pride The new queen has en
deared herself to the people of Swe
den by her consideration for the poor
King Gustave is forty -nine years old
a year older than Emperor Williem
whom he greatly admires and whose
military bent he is said to emulate
When Gustave was a youth he was
poetic and dreamy This is not to be
wondered at since his father the ven
erable King Oscar who has just died
was the author of many meritorious
poems To cure him of his dreamy
tendencies Gustave was sent into the
country where he became an en
thusiastic hunter Ho is still exceed
ingly fond of the chase Another thing
young Gustave did in the country he
fell in love with a pretty girl the
daughter of a rural pastor He want

friends and associates Gustave is
much more popular than he was in
his youth His reserved manner was
mistaken for haughtiness As crown
prince Gustave was constantly under
comparison with his father King Os
car who was the most democratic and
perhaps the best beloved monarch in
Europe No matter what Gustave did
or omitted doing the people insisted
upon estimating him according to his
ican mainland and creating competi
tion between Filipino and American
labor Japan in return for commercial
privileges in the Philippines would
agree to prevent immigration of Jap
anese laborers into this country
Baron Kaneko was mentioned as suc
cessor to Ambassador Aoki He had
an important part in the negotia
tions by which peace was arranged
between Ilussia and Japan Ho has
been much in tjie United States and is
a graduate of Harvard university
After he had become one of Japans
most distinguished statesman Harvard
conferred on him the honorary degree
of doctor cf laws Worlds Work re
lates that at a dinner given in his hon
or President Eliot said to the baron
Harvard university has conferred
on you its highest honor We can do
no more but I understand there is a
son in your family We claim him as
a future recipient of the degree con
ferred upon you I trust lie will come
to us and be a worthy successor of his
father
He will come replied the baron
Returning to Japan he told the
Baroness Kaneko about the incident
and she told the child The Idea that
he was to go to Harvard and receive
degree made a great Impression on
the boy and whenever he was naughty
hismother would say Remember if j
you are not good you will not receive
the Harvard degree That always
brought him to time
When Baron Kaneko Avas preparing
to come to the peace conference at
Portsmouth his son came and asked
Where are you going papa
To the United States said the sire
