"Can you tell me," asked King Oscar,

"Charles XII." responded another.
"Oscar II," stammered ihe smallest, who
was something of a courtier In her way.
The king, much amuned, went up to her
and asked her to tell idm of the great
events of his reign. The child blushed,
hesitated, and finally. In tears, murmured:
"I don't know any,"
The king smilingly stroked tlte child's
