bitter struggle on the cxarina's part,
but at last she has won. The pure
heart and lofty mind of the czarina
have won the autocrat of all the
Russias from his Illicit love.
1t was long before he married Prin-
cess Alix of Hesse that the car be-
came enamored of Matilda Ksches-
inska, a beautiful ballet dancer. Prin-
cess Alix knew of this fascination be-
fore she married Nicholas and also
knew that a son had been born to the
ballet dancer. She fought against
marrying Nicholas, but matters of
state and the wishes of her relatives
induced her to change her mind.
But for many years the beautiful
czarina's wife was anything but
pleasant. No son came to her as an
heir to the throne of Russia. while to
her rival three more sons were born
The car wanted an heir; Russia
wanted one. 1t seemed as if the
cars life was to be blighted as that
of his wife had been.
But fate had better things in store
for both of them. Gradually the pure.
beautiful woman who had shared his
throne weaved her fingers about
Nicholas heart. Love came where
only ambition had been before. So
gradual did the change come that
even the court did not realize it until
the other day it was discovered that
the Polish ballerina had become a
member of the company at the Wen
ma opera house. 1t has since leaked
out that she received 100000 from
the cxar. and that her four sons have
been surrendered to the cars mother
who will bring them I'M.

a new rule being enforced this year
that cash on hand Is assessed as cash
on hand and does not appear as a
credit to be Offset by debts. Bills
payable are deducted from bills re-
ceivable, and cash on hand does not
figure there at all as 1t has done in

quite appreciably. Many at first did
