Marshal Gourko, the famous Russian
general, was terrible autocrat. On.
one occasion an 1mpersonator Of cele-.
brated men was performing at a thea.
ter in Odessa One evening he received
a mysterious message, which read:
STUDY General Gourko." In Russia it.
Is better not to inquire into matters
that one does not understand. and SO
the artist spent an hour in privately
inpersonating the autocratic Russian.
Just as the evening performance was
about to commence an order Of arrest
signed by Gourko was presented to the
impersonator, and without explanation
he was led through the streets to the
marshal's palace and into an apartment
where the terrible man was seated.
'.They sell me that you inapersonate cel
ebrated men," he roared. '-Imperson-
ate meT
Giving hasty look at Gourko. the
performer turned to the mirror to
'.make up" It was an anxious time.
for If the marshal should take excep-
ton to the representation he hao un-
limited power to indict punishment.
Tie impersonator dragged himself to-
gether and turned to the marshal copy
n his own face and overbearing man
ner. Gourko burst into roar of laugh
tex, and the dangerous moment was
over.

After one or two assault cases IN

out the next door neighbor and follow

to law, but found he could do nothing.
Failing; he took a detached house. Then
Rowley hired brass bands and organs
and assailed him. This was actionable,
and Rowley paid FL, 0o0 for his revenge.
