THE CZAR'S BACK.
He Was Benefited by Having 1t Rubbed,
But He Was Afraid.

But lie was AIralu.
The penalties of being an absolute
ruler are well illustrated in story of
the Emperor Nicholas of Russia, which
was recently related by Prince Bis
marck. 1t emphasizes the familiar say
ing that the government of Russia is
ian absolute despotism, tempered ly
assassination"
At one time, the story goes, the Em-
peror Nicholas physicians, to relieve
him of some bodily suffering, ordered
that his back should be rubbed thor
oughly every day.
The emperor neglected to take steps
to have the injunction carried out, and
the doctors insisted. The emperor
then wrote letter to King Frederick
William of Prussia, asking him to send
to St. Petersburg three or four nom
commissioned officers of the Prussian
Royal Guard to perform the service re-
quired by the physicians,
King Frederick William promptly de-
tailed four stalwart non-commissioned
officers of his guard to go to ST. Peters
burg and rub the back of the Russian
emperor
They performed the service faithful
ly, and the emperor recovered from his
malady. When, at last, the men re-
turned to their regiment, they were IA

The president had been writing some-

sheets of foolscap paper.

the same when there isn't anybody to
hear it, and find fault with it,"

should care to criticise anything you
had written"
"Yes, you will. Everybody else will.
It's just what l want you to do. Sit
still, now, and you'll make as much of
an audience as | care for"
The manuscript was long-a letter
nominally addressed to some gentle
man in Illinois, but really to the coun.
try and to the world. He was salts
| fed that it was about what he intended
it should be, and laughed silently,
when, at last, he put it down on the
table.
"Now! is there any criticism that you
want0d to make?"
"Well, / was thinking, of course, it's
as nearly beyond criticism as it well
could be-but there's one place -"
"What's that? Take the paper and

OUR YOUNG READERS.
TWO KITTENS.

have good friend and my friend has one
too,
And both are devoted and tender and true;
ones noble and brave, the others gentle
and pretty
And ne'er has been told of In story or dtty.
And neer has been found in the country or
city,
pair of such friends as are Kitty and Kitty
II Kitty was glad, why, Kitty was too,
If Kitty was sad, what Kitty could do
In pleasure or pastime, in frolic or fun,
To make Kitty happy most surely was done,
They played in the rain and they played In
the sun,
In taking walk or in taking a run,
Were ALWAYS together;
IN good or bad weather,
IN running and leaping,
Or playing housekeeping,
In playing with dolls, or in playing a game,
In house or In meadow, twas always the
same.
But out of this friendship misshap occurred,
Which proved very plainly the truth you
have heard,
That all are not equal In gifts or in graces.
And talents may differ as much as our faces:
For Kitty and Kitty climbed up tall tree,
Which bore such thick blossoms you scarcely
could see
The two loving friends--when loi out on the
grass
Did Kitty with eyes alert, see something
pass;
Quick, quick as the lightning, with one leap
and bound
She Jumped from the tree and stood safe on
the ground,
And held fast beautiful, bright butterfly
That trembled all over as though it would
die.
When Kitty saw this she cried; 'Look out
for me-"
And with bold spring she jumped out of
the tree;
But o what disaster what shreks and what
paint
Her folly had cost her a break and sprain,
And taught her the lesson that everyone
knew
That one Kitty can do what another can't do.
The story is pain-and need not say more
