A Lucky Imitation.

Marshal Gourko, the famous Russian
general, was q terrible autocrat. On
one occasion an impersonator Of cele-
brated men was performing at q thea
ter in Odessa. One evening he received
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 artis1 spent an hour in privately
impersonating the autocrattc 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
marshars palace and into an apartment:
where the terrible man was seated
"They tell me that you impersonate Gel:
ebrated men," he roared. "Impersoi.

Giving a 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 had I'm.
limited power to inflict punishment.
The impersonator dragged himself to-
gether and turned to the marshal a copy

Going to :Canossa.

The saying going to Canossa'' refers
to the humiliating pilgrimage made
by the Emperor Henry ~ to Italy in
the year 1917. Henry had objected to
the claims advanced by Gregory Hide
brand and, refusing to submit, was ex-
communicated by that pontiff. The
emperor at hrst laughed at the sen
ztence, but took more serious view
when he found himself deserted even
by his personal attendants and resolved;
on q journey to Italy to make his peace
with the pope. The latter; was then at
the sCS1tle Of Canossa, q fortress Of the
Countess Mathilda and situated in the
mountains OF Modena. Thither the en-
speror FASTENED, but the pope refused
to see him save under the most degrad-
Ing conditions. ::5.: III. @s5s: s. =.sS S
The desperate situation of Henry
compelled him to submit, and for three
days and nights, sbarefooted and bare.
beaded, clad only in hair shirt, the
raiment OF penitent, he waited at the
gate. At the end OF this fearful pen
ance, which was undergone in the
month Of January, he was admitted to
the papal presence, was absolved and
received his dominion as q gift from
the pope. The expression has ever
since been current as Indicative Of
abtect submission on any terms i'm
posed BY the CONC eror. ...=. ....s 81.

A Chinese Stratoxem.

Rajah Suran, who was one Of the
earliest :rlerS of India, overran the
entire eNst with the exception of Chi
own hand and married all their daugh.
tiers. It is said that when the Chinese
heard of his triumphant progress and
learned that he had reached their
frontier they became much alarmed.
The emperor called a council Of his
generals and mandar1ns, and upon the
advice of q crafty old mandarin the
following strategem was carried out:
A large ship was loaded with rusty
nails, trees were planted on the deck,
the vessel was manned by a numerous
crew of old men and dispatched to the
rajah's capital. When 1t arrived-the
most wonderful part Of the story is
that 1t did arrfve-the rajah sent an
officer to ask how long It had taken the
vessel to make the trip from China.
The Cinnamon answered that they had
all been young men when they set sail
and that on the voyage they had plant
led the seeds from which the great trees
had grown. In confederation of their
story they pointed to the rusty nails
which, they said, had been stout iron
bars as thick as a mans arm when
they started. you can see," they con-
cluded, that China must be q very
long distance away"
The rajah was so much impressed
by these plausible arguments that he
concluded he would not live long
enough to reach China and abandoned
his projected invasion.

The favorite Scottish method of deal.

ltcly to denounce the delinquents. The
Christian Leader tells this story:
When the Rev. Walter Dunlap, min

stopped suddenly and said: - 49,

provocation, cried out, Hold up yer

Then, finding that this general ex-
hortati0n was insufficient to deter q
certain well known member OF the
church from getting his nights rest
forward. the reverend gentleman turn

As there are 52,00O,0O square miles
