Dial wrote two tales which were
published in the Moscow newspaper.
In one of these one of the characters
is q gypsy woman, thief. She
hides herself, and they seek, but
cannot find her. The local authori-
ties are applied to, and they also
look for her in vain. Dial served in
a government Office and for his "of.
Tense" was called before the author
tiles and told to choose between
writing and the service. The censor
represented the matter to the en-
peror in the following manner, AL
though Dial, by his story, inspires
the public with distrust in the au-
thorities, yet he does it without evil
intention, and as the ks do not
on the whole contain anything
harmful no considered it sufficient
to censure the author.
Again, Count Uvaroff, in writing
a book on Greek antiquities, had a
great deal of trouble with the CEN
sor, He was not permitted to refer
to emperors as having been killed,
but was ordered to state that they
died or perished:-W estminster Re-

THe LOST PRAYER.

st night, once pausing in the outer hall,
A woman 5 prayer he heard OF weary breath,
"Forgiye, o Lord, his doubling, lest he fail
And should lose him in the world of death. "
Methought among the shadows of the night
He saw that prayer go forth and saw 1t roam
Like lost child, forewearied by alright,
Who wanders in the dark and walls for home.
In the unfathoinable ways above,
Where the great worlds INCREASINGLY are tost,
"Forgive, o Lord, f" he heard its cry Of love,
"The world Of DEATH" then in the void twas
lost.
And he, the listener, filed with strange fore
boding,
Turned also to the night and wandered brood
ing
Tin all the stars their lonely way had crossed.

Severe Training.

Some suggestive details concern
ing the early education of the Ger
man emperor have come out. It
seems that William II had in early
childhood a tutor who was a captain
of the guards. Prince Bismarck had
recommended him, and he applied
to the heir to the throne the princi-
pie ON which he trained his recruits
-"bend or break" The young Ho-
henzollern was made to rise at 5 80
every morning and at once begin Il
course of gymnastic exercises un-
suitable for a child of his age. 1t is
this regimen, authorities say, which
made Prince William so weak and
nervous that his grandfather, the
old emperor, suggested ono day to
Bismarck that his captain of the
guards would perhaps better return
to his recruits. New York Trib.

never trust it out of my hands, for
it is not only my sole means of ex-
istence, but, as you will observe, it
is a very valuable instrument.
The pawnbroker handed out the
money, and almost regretted that
the loan was so small. AS he was
going out the man turned back and
said: ''By the way, ] wish you
would not put this violin ABIDE with

A few days later an elderly man
came in and asked to see some opera
glasses. AS he was looking over the

hanging on the wall.

it critically, and then a delighted
expression overspread his face.

AS soon as he was gone the pawn

musician. The man lived in a poor

great poverty.
"What! Sell my dear violin?" he
exclaimed Indignantly. mo! a

The man hesitated long while
Tears came into his eyes and his
long, pale fingers trembled as he
told the story of his struggle with
poverty, but he took the money.
A week passed and the wealthy
connoisseur had not put in an APP

to show to an expert.
