tween the Emperor Alexander of Rus
STA and quick-witted young girl
During the occupation of Paris the
Emperor Alexander was present at the
anniversary of one of the hospitals.

royalty'S attention
The emperor dropped a handful OF
gold on the plate, saying to the young
girl as he did so: This is for beauti-
full bright eyes
The pretty maid courteSied low. and
again presented her plate to the gener-
Gus donor.
What, more?" asked the emperor,
with a smile.

eyes demurely cast down, and mouth
well under control, now 1 would like
something for the poor"
The second handful was even more
liberal than the first, and the emperor
evidently felt that his speech had been
well met and matched. as he smiled af-
ter the pretty girl. who went her way
rejoicing to the next visitor.
