Little men rule the world.
They have always done so, the
popular idea to the contrary
Notwithstanding. How difficult
it is to think OF Il King or an
Emperor or any person of high
degree as being small! When
we think of a great ruler, it is
the human instinct to think of
him as being as what is popu-
larly known as 'kingly statue"
We can hardly bring ourselves
to contemplate him as an ordi.
nary human being. 1t was this
feeling which inspired the ia
nous old stanza:
How big was Alexander, Pa,
That people call him great:
Was he, like old Goliath, tall,
His spear hundredweight?
Yet Alexander, who sighed
for more worlds to conquer,
was great in name only. His
body was small.
Observe the great rulers of
today. What about their phys.
iCal size?
King Edward VII of England
is only ) feet 6 inches in height.
President William Mckinley
of the United States is small

Emperor William of Germany
is so small that he wears high
hats and thiClxsoled shoes when
he walks and uses an especially
high saddle when he rides to
give the impression OF height
King George of Greece, like
the royalty of Germany and
Great Britain, to whom he is
closely related, is Of small

The Sultan of Turkey is of
less than average height.
The Gear of Russia, contrary
to the popular conception of
Russian characteristics, is hard
ly larger than his royal neigh

King Oscar OF Norway and
Sweden is Of medium height.
Photographs of President
Diaz Of Mexico give the i'm,

yet his height is only , feet s

Lord Rosebery, former prime
minister of England, and who,
rumor says, may be restored to
power, is only of average height.

SO sOlicitous were the Car

at that time contemporary
writer said:
The young mans constitu.
tion was not strong when he
was in his teens, and there were
grave miSgivngs as to whether
he would possess Il sufficiently
robust physique to bear the bur.
dens of the empire. After his
trip to Asia he became more ro-
bust, but he was never as strong
man as his father
The story is told of him that
at one time he danced with one
of his partners at a state ball
until size was ready to drop
from exhaustion, to pu nish her
for saying that the Czarowitch
had no vitality.

The rain had poured IN torrents All
day Sunday and that night the resi-
dents Of C~edarville we're lulled to
sleep by the never ceasing patter. pat
ter and drip. drip Of the storm. Mon
Day morning the wind veered suddenly
into the north and blew a fine. light
snow into the faces Of the children
who were hurrying to the district
school on the mountain road. BY
noon the snow was falling 80 thick
and fast that a big bob-sled was sent
up from the railroad for all the able
bodied men who could work to keep
the tracks open.
There were only two young men In
the village who had work enough
OF their own to keep them at home,
Sherman Keene, the village black
smith, and DR.. Abner Coulson. Not
that DR.. Coulson was particularly
busy, he had only made his appear
ance in Cedarville a few months be-
fore, but he could hardly be expected
to participate in a snow-shoveling
bee.
The wind rose steadily all the after
noon and the storm settled down into
a genuine blizzard. Long before dark
1t was apparent that the men who had
gone to help clear the railroad could
not return that night. Keene closed
the smithy early and made things
snug at home for the comfort Of his
widowed mother and himself. Then
he made his way with difficulty
through the storm to some Of the
neighbors, whose men-folks had gone
with the bob-sled party, and helped
them with the evening chores. On his
way home he looked In at the widow
Morse, who had come to the door to
greet him. and had seen that she was
provided with plenty Of wood and wa
ter against a wild, stormy night. He
would not have stopped had Nannette
been at home, but she had not yet re-
turned from the school on the noun
tain road, where she guided the youth
full minds Of Cedaryllle through the
tangled paths OF "readin', writin' and
'rithmetic."
That night, while the storm howled
hercely without, Sherman Keene sat
IN his comfortable armchair and oozed
before a great fire OF blazing logs on
the hearth in his sitting-room. Widow
keene had long since sought her bed.
Keene dreamed Of Nannette, and in
his dream she was always in danger,
