The Gear and Iii. Car,ca,ure..

The car OF Russia Is a man OF moral
as well as physical courage. Recently
the imperial couple had one OF the
palace rooms done In black a. white.
which Is tho latest fad In decoration.
and then the car took n notion to
have a Dor decorated with caricatures
Of himself. So he gave an order that
a collection Of all c~aricatures Of hia
royal self that appeared In foreign
journals should be procured, and 1t
was done. 1t Is doubtful whether an
other sovereign In Europe would have
done the same. Some OF the carica-
lures were exceedingly malicious. and
none was complimentary, and that the
q q could extract amusement from
such a display is proof that he Is no,
the tyrant and oppressor so many per-
sons have been brought to believe.
