The Skobeletfs have singular origiu.
Ia 1883 the Emperor Nicholas, while
at review of his whole army, ordered
a General Skobeletf to select the finest
men IN the army 10 form into a body OF
imperial guards. In the first regiment
examined the general came across u
stalwart young soldier, who tar sur
passed ms comrades IN appearance.
The soldier said that his name was Ko-
beief, and that he came from village
III the province OF Noygorod. The gen
eTal. upon hearing this reply To an in.
quiry he had made, seemed greatly
interested, and being told that 1t was
only the youth OF KobeleG that had
hindered his advancement from the
ranks, at once gave orders that
he should be made non-con-
stoned officer. That evening GEN
eral Skobeleii, at u dinner given
to the officers of tie regiment to which
kobeletf belonged, told an anecdote

nc was private soldier, he was ca

replied that ii was Kobelotf: Kobe

the sound OF chat name Tor the future
you are To be called SkoheIefI. From
that time the empress took an interest
in his welfare, and eventually, through
her favor, he became aide>de>camp to
the car. Il have only one remark to
make, said the general, "and that is
that the Young fellow whom | raised To
