THE TSAR'S GOOD SENSE.
He Sits a Worthy Example for His Arts.
tocratic SubordInates.

There is probably no class of people
i'll the world so stiff-necked in their own
etiquette as the officers of the crack
regiments in st. Petersburg. Since
| Nicholas II. became tsar he has endeay-
| ored to discredit the notion that an
army officer should not ride in a street
car. In st. Petersburg the army officer
has long considered himself too su-
| perior to the common civilian to share
with him this vulgar" mode of con-
, veyance.
A few weeks ago one of the few I'M
| titled officers in the Russian capital ven
tured to ride in a street car to his bar
racks. 1t was presumptuous and a
courageous act, for he had to alight be-
fore the fashionable cavalryman's club
Of the city. But it proved an uncom-
Portable act, for his fellow-officers de-
clared that he had disgraced his uni
form, and refused to listen to his quota
| tons of the tsar's remarks on the sub
| ject.
After some days the colonel of the reg
iment urged upon the officer the pro-
priety of resigning his commission. He
gave as a reason his feeling, and that of
ether officers, that he had committed a
degrading offense by associating with
the populace in street car. In his dis
tress. the unfortunate officer turned to
a friend in high official rank, who told
the tsar of the affair. Nicholas heard
the story at four in the afternoon. He
Immediately put on a dark suit, and
| with his adjutant went to the locality
where the officer had taken the car,
boarded one and rode on it to the bar
racks. He there alighted and getting
| on a returning car, went back to the
palace.
The next day the colonel of the aris-
tocratic regiment in question received
a full autograph account of the trip,
which the young ruler ended with these
| words:
Am | still worthy to wear the uni
form of Russian officer? Nicholas"
OF course, there could only be one an
swer to that question. There is now in
that regiment significant reserve and
silence respecting riding with despised
plebians, and titled snobs fall over each
other to see who can signal a passing
| car first.
The tsar deserves respect for his con-
duct. If he shows as sound common
sense in all state matters as he has
shown in this little affair, his reign will
not be deadly conservatism that clings
to old forms and smothers progress and
reform in its stagnant embrace

back until the avalanche had passed,
and he supposed the bandit was close
behind him. But at last when he cost
a glance back he found he was alone.
The bandit had not been able to
mount his horse and escape before the
avalanche caught him, and it had
swept him on. down the mountain as
though he had been a feather, and bur-
led him hundreds of feet deep in the
gorge.

quence, since it contained nothing but
few unimportant letters.
twas a narrow escape, however, both
for Frank and the money. But for the
avalanche the bandit would have got
the letter, and Frank just cleared the
track of the avalanche in time to save
his life
Old Peter, when Frank told him of
his adventure, ascribed his escape to
Providence, and while he worried about
the loss of the mail, he was reiolced
that Frank did not suffer the fate of The
robber.
Whether the hand of Providence was
in it or not, certain it is that the ava
lanehe came in good season; and equal
ly certain it is that the bandit never
went about the country hunting up the
registered mail that was addressed TO
other people "by mistake" or other
wise.

about some one else:
Mime. de T., arriving too late for
mass one Sunday at 1926 o'clock, said
to her lackey: Go and write my

Lady Jersey was supposed to have
put it somewhat differently, remarking
to her daughter as she turned away,
finding all the seats filled: "Well, my
dear, at least we have done the civil

At first he appears to have desired a

said he could take a kick from behind

enemies. Yet he pursued the even ten

MARCH OF THE GOLDEN RODS.

and the pathway,

And volunteers always fall in" by the

Their names are not drafted-one only con-

That all carry torches by night and by

A gayer procession never have witnessed,
They look brightly at me, and nod, each
and all,
AS they sing in a chorus: "Oh, summer is
dying!
And we are so glad, for we're soldiers of

And all through the last. dying days of
poor summer

And commands from the front, in the
distance from nowhere,

Then the soldiers in green halt and pa

For further commands for the troop to

But while they are waiting, their enemy,

Approaches and on them he lays his

And they die! and their little lives vanish
