BJORNSON'S BIRTHDAY.
The Norwegian Poet and Political
Reformer Seventy Years Old Cele
brations Throughout Norway.
Christiania, Dec. 8. Bjornstjeme
BJornson, the Norwegian poet, dra
matist, novelist and political reform
er, was 70 years old today and the
ovent was made an occasion for cele
brations throughout Norway.
BJornson Is the national poet of
Norway. His name Is a synonym of
tho hopes and aspirations of the Nor
wegian people In their political and
intellectual struggles.
BJornson was born In 1832 and be
gan his literary career In the early
50s. In 1857 ho published a peasant
novel, "Synnove Solbakken," which
proved epoch-making In Scandinavian
literature. In It and several others
that followed he gives an Idealized
picture of peasant life brought the
thoughts and aspirations of tho peas
antry Into literature. These stories
havo been a great source of pleasure
and profit to the Norwegian people.
Peasants have read them and learned
to know their better selves
BJornson's literary activity since
the days of the peasant novel has
been to elevate the Norwegian peo
ple. An to accomplish this ho has
worked In various directions. He has
written numerous songs that have
fired his countrymen with a spirit of
seff -reliant patriotism; other songs
touching .the various phases of life
and love that havo been ennobling
and refining. Ho has written histori
cal dramas to bring vividly before
his people the sturdy qualifies of their
lorojatners: powonui social uramas
which probe deep In social evils, not
primarily for dramntlc effect, hut to
arouse the public conscience and to
suggest the remedy; modorn realistic
novels that have dealt In the broadest
manner with the great questions of
education, religion and domestic duty.
BJornson Is therefore known better
In Scandinavia as a'polltlcal reformer
though his reputation outside Iris na
tive country Is that of a delightful
novelist and poet. A republican of
the republicans, he has for years
been dodging Jails and writing prob
lem books. Years ago he was given
a jail sentence for treason, but got
out of Norway and lived in Germany
until 1883. On his return to Chrlsti
nnla he at once resnmed his antl-gov
ernment agitation and his novel writ,

Biographical.
In Portland. Me., where his ances
tors had lived for eight generations,
Thomas Brackett Reed was born Oc
tober 18, 1839. Like all other New
Rngland boys, ho attended the public
schools, and like thousands of other
Now England boys, he Worked his
way through college by teaching
school during his college vacations.
He was graduated from Bowdoln Col
lege In July, 18C0, with the degree of
A. B. It Is said that In the last year
of his college course he exhibited
wonderful diligence nnd Industry, not
only making up the time expended
upon somewhat miscellaneous read
ing during the first three years, but
placing himself In the front rank
among the six honor men of his class.
His reward was the much-courted
prize for "excellence in English com
position." First Nomination.
In 1SCS, without his knowledge, (ho
tepublicans of Portland unanimously
named Mr. Reed as one of their can
didates for the lower branch of the
legislature, and he was elected. His
teputatlon as a lawyer had already
become so fairly established and gen
erally recognized that ho was assign
ed to tho judiciary committee. Ho
was then, ns he has ever since been,
a man of action, and ever ready to
do nil ho could to expedite business.
Before tho end of his first term in
the legislature, he secured tho pas
sage of a law which resulted In reduc
ing from three years to as many
months the time required for bringing
contested suits to jury trial In his
native county.
State Senator.
Mr. Iteed was re-elected in ISfiO,
and in 1870 he was promoted to the
stato benate. By this time his abili
ties and energy had gained for him a
reputation as wide aB the stnle, and
ho was nominated as the republican
candidate for attorney-general over
several strong and popular competi
tors, among whom was Harris M
Plaistcad. afterward governor, and
was elected. During tho three years
of his Incumbency of that office Mr.
Reed not only added steadily to his
reputation as an able lawyer and bril
liant advocate, but exhibited a degree
of courage and resolution which ex
cited universal admiration.

JUDGE GRAY DEMANDS DATA

Elected to Congress.
In the centennial year of American
independence tho horizon of Mr.
Reed's public career suddenly and
somewhat unexpectedly widened, and
fairly opened before him. After a hot
struggle In convention, he was nomi
nated as the republican candidate for
congress from the Portland district,
and was elected by a plurality of
about 1200 votes. In 189C, Justs 20
years afterward, he was re-elected for
tho tenth time In succession from the
same district, by a plurality of moro
than 10,500 votes and a majority of
975G over all.
Since tlio first one, all of Mr. Reed's
nominations for congress have been
unanimous, and the only hard fight
he has had to make for re-election
was in 1880, when tho greenback
craze swept over tho stato and defeat
ed the republican stato ticket In Sep
tember. Retires From Polities.
As speaker of the 55th congress, he
presided over the debates which led
up to and grew out of the Spanish-
American war. It became known that
he was out of harmony with the ma
jority of his party on the policy of the
acquisition of tho X'hinppines. jjiu
he did not bolt, aB did others, and his
loyalty was rewarded by his re-elec
tion as speaker of the 56th congress.
He roslgned In 1899 and retired to
Portland, Me., where ho has since
practiced law as a member of the
firm of Reed, Simpson, Tnatener &
Carnum.
Mr. Reed publlshod a volumo of
parliamentary rules In 1894, and was
editor of "Modern Kloquence," pub
lished In 1901. Ho also frequently
contributed articles to the magazines
on public questions.
ing. Ho wrote tragedies, too, and
won a wide fame as a writer and de
scrlber of Norwegian life. His sev
enty years wolgh Ilghtlly on him, and
