NYE'S DISSERTATION ON SOME OBJ
vIOUS DISCOUNTS OF ROYALTY.

II anything could reconcile the aver
age American boy to the fact that he
is not a ear, it would he the late story
OF Mr.. StrakOsh to the OBJECT that his
imperial majesty once, when the car
owitch played a French obligato to the
song given by Nine. Nilsson, and that
years after, when lie had become a
full blown car, the orchestra affected
him to tears, for it brought back the
memory Of that blessed time when he
did not have to put ON 4 sheet iron
overcOat to go ont and get the morning
paper.
Happier inded. was this great man,
with his French horn aud his portfolio

mouth, than in after years as Il thirty

pire under his thumb and IL fractions

Greatness brings with it newspaper
criticism. loss OF appetite, lanyour,
cold feet and death. And even in
death a great man does not stand
much of a chance. Relic hunters come
and try to break into his grave and
carry fragments of his system away to
remember him by, and the historian
criticizes him to his hearts content.
For this reason VT ought to appreci-
ate IL country where we need not be
great if we would rather not. A car
really has no alternative. He can
avoid being il czarina by beginning in
time. but when he discovers that he is
a czarowitch he knows that it is "good-
by, John,"as the Russians have it.
Here tn. rules are less severe. A man
may escape greatness for years and
Years. He may be President of the
United States to-day and promoting
pullets tomorrow.
The utmost latitude is given an
American. He cannot only abstain
from being great, but after he has been
great our people will excuse a man and
allow him to insert himself into OBJ
again, i'll case he feels more
comfortable that way. But Il car has
chance. He really has no fun at
all. AS soon as he discovers that his !
lineage is big he is open to criticism
md cannot do anything undignitied.
