A CrazY Emperor.

That crazy Emperor, Paul l. Of Russia,
during one Of his drives met a soldier
whose cOuntenance pleased him.
"COme into my carriage, Lieutenant"
said Paul.
"Slre, am only a private"
"The Emperor is never mistaken, Cap
tain.''
81 obey your orders, sire
Every good, COmmandant. Take your
seat by my side. What lovely weather
we have today"
'Sire, dare not venture"
''What are you saying, COlOnelD
Unluckily for the new-made Colonel,
the Emperor had to be back to the Palace
early that morning. If the drive had con-
tinUed a few minutes longer his chance
companion would have been made Field
Marshal. As it was he was obliged to
content himself with the grade OF Major
General.
But a few days afterward the same poor
wretch, picked up by the Emperor in
exactly the same way, had TO 90 through
the same gradatiOns Of rank, only in the
reverse direction, and in half an hour,
from beng a Major General, had to be-
come a private soldier again.
On another occasion Paul, while review
ing "A regiment which did not please him,
gave the word of command, ''Right about,
face! March to Siberia"
And the whole regiment, officers and
men, were obliged to set off by forced
marches to Siberia. 1t was only when
they got half way there that Count ROs
tObchine obtained their recall.

Two friends I'VE will call them John
and Dick met casually and both had new
suits on. John bought his at the
"F'dmOus' and was very much pleased.
Dick bought his elsewhere, and not being
a judge of clothing thought his suit just
as good. The Famous says, put the two
suits to the test, wait three months, and
we wager that the "E'OmOuS" suit, for less
money, wear better and look better than
any clothes bought elsewhere. We have
often seen it and know it for fact. Our
goods are all manufactured by us for our
trade; nothing Is too good for our trade,
and there is as much difference between
our clothing and the ready-made goods
made for appearance to sell to retailers
as between day and night. We can free
ly guarantee our goods, and we agree to
refund the money for any unsatisfactory
purchase made. Famous New York
