NAPOLEON in Peters Bed.

Peter the Great hated Moscow, and
above all, that stronghold of oriental
intrigue and moral darkness, the Krem-
lin. If remember right, he never in
Labitedi the palace within its walls after
he was child. The old palace is a net
work of incredibly small, low, ill-ven.
tilated rooms, some little bigger thar
closets, painted in greens, blues and
reds, after the Swedish fashion; rooms
which seem, even to-day, to reek of
plots, intrigue and murder. Napoleon,
always a tritle theatrical, insisted on
sleeping in the bed of Peter the Great
when he occupied the Kremlin in 1912.
The bed of the boy Peter fitted the hero
of Austerlitz to nicely. 1t is very
abbreviated couch. In the very heart
of this oriental palace, with no window
which gives on the outer day and the
open air, is the terem, or women S quar-
tCrs. The terem was, to all intents and
purposes, a harem. The ladies, even
the tsaritza and the sisters of the tsar,
were only permitted to look down into
the hall of coronation through carved
wooden lattice, just as ladies do in every
harem in the east. They received no
men except their husbands and broth
ers, and when they went out it was in a
curtained litter. When Peter mounted
the throne of the tsars the women Of
Russia were orientals, imprisoned far
more vigorously than the ladies of Con-
stantinople to-day.-Louisville Courier
Journal.

WEE FANNIE.

Wee Fannie, bless her little heart.
I cannot help but take her part,
When romping through the halls:
Up, down the stairs she runneth wild,
This sweet. angelic baby child,
Fast clinging to her dolls.
What mem'ries doth her laughter bring,
When through the house l hear Ii ring,
In fond, ecstatic glee;
Old scenes arise before mine eyes
or children up beyond the skies,
Who're calling after me.
I gaze upon her broken toys,
Which tell me of true childish joys,
The joys of baby years;
And while into the past | drift.
The Ills and aches of life / sift
From out a vale of tears.
Guch purity from children roll
Into every hardened soul
That lacks the gem of grace;
Their voice, their smile, their very tear,
Can drive away the dread of fear.
Depicting Christ's own face.
Play on. my child, in rapture play,
And may your life be one glad day
OF endless bliss and peace;
And after evening shadows fall,
When quietness reigns throughout each
hall.
May joy your sleep increase.

POOR NICHOLAS.

From the oak to the spot where our
horses were tethered was close upon so
PAGES, and never, think, was ground
covered at a speedier rate by men run
ming for their lives. | was bursting
with anger, and know not what re-
strained me from pistoling Nicholas, so
furious was L at the blind folly of the
man. AS we reached the horses we
could hear the dogs splashing through
the spill water at the edge of the lake,
and some one fired third shot at us
from horseback, a shot in the dark.
which whistled through the branches
overhead.
Quick! quick! monsieur!" gasped
Nicholas, and with turn of his hand
he freed Couronne and sprang to her
back, the great mare standing steady
as a rock.
"Quick!" he called out again more
loudly, and made a vain effort TO loosen
my beast, which, startled by the shots,
the baying of the dogs and our haste
and hurry, plunged and kicked as
though it were demented.
Damn you!" 1 hissed, half at the
horse, half at the crop-eared idiot who
had caused this disaster, and, manag-
ing somehow to scramble to the saddle,
cut the halter with draw of my dag
ger. At this moment the dogs reached
us, a dark object sprang up from the
ground, and, fastening on the jaws of
my horse, brought him to his knees,
whilst the other beasts flew at my COM
panion. Nicholas pistol rang out to
no purpose, the report was echoed by a
chorus of shouts from the troopers fol-
lowing us, and Couronne, swinging
around, lashed out with her heels at
the hound that was baying her. Lean
ing forward with one arm half round
the neck of my snorting horse, l thrust
twice at the hound hanging to him,
the first time sliding off his metal col
lar, but at the second blow my blade
slipped to the hilt into something soft,
ii seemed of its own accord, and as the
dead dog fell suddenly back, bearing
my poniard with it, my freed horse rose
to it's feet, and, mad with pain, dashed
forward. AS we dashed into the wood
the troopers attempted to follow, but
it was with relaxed speed and every
moment we were distancing them, and
their cries, shouts and curses became
fainter and more faint. Leaping n
fallen log Nicholas burst through a
juniper bush, and my horse following
him we came on to an open stretch
which sloped down to the river.

CHAPTER NI.-CoNTINUED.


The men rode by us slowly, one of
them carrying a torch, and, taking a
turn to the right, trotted Off into the
forest, cursing the orders they had re-
ccived to 60 forth after the horn

and with hurried look behind him, at

mcckery, he crawled forward rapidly

gained the shadow Of the terrace, and,
working along it's ivy-covered wall, got
TO the main building. Here we cast

was not possible to do this by holding
on to the ivy, as, if it came away, there
would be fall, and all our fat would be
in the fire. The ascent had to be made
Eciselessly, and as | looked at the high
wall before us | began to think it was
impossible. Running my eye on the
lichen-gray face of the main building,
however, | noticed something that
Iookedlike series of huge monograms,
with a crescent above each, cut in high
relief on the stones, beginning about
ten feet from the ground.

pcred.
Nicholas nodded, with pale face. In
his excitement he had forgotten the
Wild huntsman, much to my satisfac-
ton.
Bend, then, and [ will ascend from

He leaned forward against the wall,
and, climbing on his shoulders, l
found that | might possibly raise my
self by the monograms, which | discov-
cred to be the letters ii. ID. interlaccd in
one another, the initials of the second

crescent was, as is well known, Madame

the point of my boot. This was enough
for me to change my hold to the next
higher monogram, and finally ! came
to a level with the parapet of the ter
race. Here was difficulty. Every time
l stretched my hand out to grasp the
parapet / found that / could not ieacn

from the slime and moss on the stones.
Three times | made the attempt, and
swung back three times, until | began
TO feel that the effort was beyond me.
There was, however, one chance, and,
quietly thrusting my boot forward,

Nothing is so curious and instructive
as to observe the Englishman when
travelling in comparison with the
Frenchman. The former is calm, pune
tual, precise, and with only the neces-
sary quantity of baggage. He will
journey through China with merely q
valise. He is not impatient. He loves
travel; it is to him an inclination and
felt want. On the other hand, the
Frenchman when journeying, is rest
less, nervous, impatient, bored; the en-
tire time he spends looking furtively at
his watch, or consuming the railway
time table. He is always crowded up
with parcels, in addition his portman-
teauX. He is, as rule, encumbered
with many useless articles. In fact, he
dislikes travel which he. finds an ennui
and fatigue.-La Petite Journal.

Ct the Philippines AFFORDED fruitful
theme for prolonged discussion. It is
strictly within the bounds Of propri-
ETY., however, to say that among the
American speakers on this subject
there was practically unanimity OF
sentiment in favor Of the policy being
pursued by the government in refer
ence to the islands.
In none of the discussions was the
purpose for which the Congress was as
sembled lost sight of, and not the least
insignificant OF the declarations by del
egates was that of Enrique Alzamora,

EXHIBITS OF FOREIGN SAMPLES.
While the International Commercial
Congress taught through the ear, the
Foreign Samples Department impartS
information through the eye, and, TAX
en- jointly, these two features of the
Exposition prove a wonderful unfold
ing Of the possibilities for strengthen
ing the position of the American pro-
Queer in foreign markets. Manufacture
ers learned through the samples what
is required of them to compete in the
export trade of nations, and not few
have already taken steps for quicken
ing their pace in the race of rivals for
Australian trade. Foreigners said to
them: Produce this or that, and we
will buy in America" The reply has
invariably been, in effect, Il will inn
prove on the article and lessen the
cost"
The specimens of foreign manufaet-
urers run through the whole category
of products which are likely to tempt
American producers They were Sc
lected abroad by commissioners from
the Philadelphia Commercial Museum
aided by the United States Consular
service, and for their purchase Con-
gress appropriated 100000.
The International Commercial Con-
gress will shortly adjourn sine die and
the Exposition will close November 80,
but the foreign samples will remain,
in the custody of the Commercial Muse
UNI, so that the Philadelphia Trade
Show is destined to be more than
ephemeral.

late last night, and in less than two hours
his supposed murderer, George Wells,
a negro miner from Seammon, was swing
ing to a telephone pole. the victim of a
mob which had forcibly taken him from
jail. Earlier in the evening McArdle and
Wells had some words in the saloon after
which the negro left. Shortly afterwards
a shot was fred from across the street,
the bullet killing McArdie. Wells was ar
rested on suspicion and lodged in JAIL
A determined mob formed quickly and
marched to the jail. Securing Wells with
out much trouble, they dragged the
frightened negro from the building and
strung him up to the nearest telephone
pole. Before the rope was placed about
his neck Wells admitted he was with the
man who shot McArdle but denied that
he had done the shooting.

IMPORTANCEOF ACCURATE MEAS
UREMENTS.
For the present we Will omit the
usual menus for Thursday, as there
are some suggestions about general
cooking which will be helpful TO the
many among our readers who have not
had direct instruction from those who
have given the art and science OF cook
cry years of study and who have
learned much that even the Oldest
housekeeper might do well to heed.
One of the most difficult things III
teachers experience is to convince the
housekeeper, who is welded to her
own ways" of the Importance CT ac-
curate measurement. Singularly enough
such housekeepers are adopts in the
art of finding any other reason than
the right one, for many of their fail
ures or the variable results of their
work. Some error in the recipe, or
fault in the baking, or variation in the
quantity of materials, they will accept
more readily than the possibility that
it could make any difference if they
guessed" at a. spoonful, or shook
down the -four in the cup, or filed II
before sitting, or packed the butter
loosely, or varied the well-tested recipe
according to their own ideas Of econ
omy
OF course there are many times
when even the most reliable formula
will need judgment in its use, for diff
ferent grades of flour vary in their
thickening qualities, the kind of sugar
is not always specified in the recipe,
the butter and lard with large portion
of water will not shorten the dough
OR make so rich cake as that which
has been we'll worked. and the size
and shape of loaves and the variation
in the heat from different fuels, wood,
coal and gas, all these will cause some
variation in the finished product.
But generally where definite, proper
terms are given, it is safe to follow a
recipe exactly, and it would be we'll if
all housekeepers would accept the
standard Of measurement adopted by
the leading cooking schools and which
the next generation of housekeepers,
at least those who are now being
laugh in our public school kitchens,
will probably use.
We shall then hear no more about
blue cup of this, teacup of that, and
tumbler of the other, but every rec
ipe will be formulated from the same
standard. Weights instead of measures
are no doubt more accurate, but a COM
parison OF the two has been arranged
which enables US to measure with suffi-
Gent accuracy and with certainly much
greater ease and convenience than ac-
companies the use of the scales.

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People From Trying :
Good Medicine.

'revents Many People From Trying
Good Medicine.
Stomach troubles are SO common
and in NEST cases SO obstinate to
cure that people are apt to look
with suspicion on any remedy
claiming to be a radical, perma-
nent cure for dyspepsia and indi-
gestion. Many such pride them
selves on their acuteness in never
being humbugged, especially in
medicines.
This fear of being humbugged
can be carried too far, so far, in
fact, that many people suffer for
years with weak digestion rather
than risk little time and money
in faithfully testing the claims
made of a preparation SO reliable
and universally used as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are vastly different in one import
ant respect from ordinary proprie-
tary medicines for the reason that
they are not secret patent medi
cine, no secret is made of their in
gradients, but analysis shows them
to contain the natural digestive
fermerts, pure aseptic pepsin, the
digestive acids, Golden Seal, bis
muth, hydrastis and nux. They
are not cathartic, neither do they
act powerfully on any organ, but
they cure indigestion ON the COM
mon sense plan of digesting the
food eaten thoroughly before it has
time to ferment, sour and cause
the mischief. This is the only Sc
cret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and
never can cure indigestion and
stomach troubles because they act
entirely on the bowels, whereas the
whole trouble is really in the stom-
ach.
.Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after meals digest the food. That is
all there is to it, Food not di-
gested or half digested is poison
as it creates gas, acidity, headaches,
palpitation of the heart, loss OF
flesh and appetite and many other
troubles which are often called
by some other name
They are sold by druggists
everywhere at so cents per pack
age. Address F. A. Stuart Co.,
