Two small boys returned from school
and complained to their father that the
schoolmaster had pulled their hair.
"Ah," said the wise parent, "I'll soon
put that to rights" And thereupon he
cropped the heads of the boys until
there was hardly enough to lay hold of.
The next day the schoolmaster pulled
the ears of the boys. AS they were
nearing home Tom said to Harry, 'I'll
tell father what the schoolmaster's
DONE" Don't" said Harry. "Mebbe
he'll cut our ears Off"

The Car came In contact with the mem
bers of our Red Cross Society and to then
he spoke again and again Of the kiudnes:
OF America to Russia.
He remembers that kindness to-day and
frequently expresses his sentiment Not
long ago he said:
THE friendly feeling which exists be-
tween Russia and America is genuine. and
I trust 1t will endure forever"
At another time he spoke of what Russia
had done for the United States during our
Civil War. saying that his father had In.
formed him of the cordiality which existed
between the countries at that time.
The Car now uses American plows. reap
ers and mowers on his vast estate. and
other things being equal he would rather
patronize America than any country of Eu,
rope.
And this leads me to the vast possessions
owned by his Majesty.
He is by far the richest man of the whole
world, Carnegie and Rockefeller not ex-
cepted.
You know how much a G4O-acre farm Isl
The Car has enough OF land of his own
to make million such farms.
The Russian crown owns IOO,o00 square
miles of forests and cultivated lands. an
area equal to one-third Of the United States
without Alaska and our outlying colonies.
He has in addition mines in Siberia which
produce a vast revenue. and bonds and
stocks and gold galore. Indeed no one
knows what his revenue Is.
The crown domains are considered the
private property Of the imperial family,
and there are millions coming from them
which never get into the public reports.
He has also vast amounts in jewels and
other treasures so that 1t is impossible to
estimate his wealth.
HIS FATHER WAS A CAREFUL
BUSINESS MAN.
The Cars father was a careful business
man. He watched the income and outgo
and cut down the expenses OF the estate
which had been extravaganza.
When he came to the throne he personally
overhauled the accounts OF the imperial
household, and after few days study re-
duced the ordinary expenses OF the court to
an amount of Sl25.OO0 a year.
He then cut down the imperial stables
and looked into the management of his
palaces.
In the Winter Palace there had been a
magnificent Persian carpet which he had
especially admired as Prince.
Shortly after his accession he noticed that
this had disappeared.
He asked about 1t and was told It had
been sent out to oe cleaned. He ordered
1t brought back at once. but the daye
passed and It did not appear.
He then looked into the matter and found
that officers Of the household had ordered
that tha entire palace BE- Ssfufnished and

Special Correspondence Of The Sunday Republic.
81. Petersburg, June 15.-I want to tell you
something about the Gar of Russia as he
looks acts and rules in this good year 1903.
His life is no secret from his people.
Any one may see him almost any day
driving about his palaces in the country
near here. and now and then in an open car
riage riding through St. Petersburg itself.
He has discarded many OF the guards
which were kept during the reign of his
father.
The cavalry does not now line the streets
when the Gear goes out driving.
POLICE spies are reduced In number. and
the force Of Russian detectives scattered
over tho world has been cut down
Whatever the Car may be. he is no cow
ard.
He realizes his danger. but prefers to take
the risk rather than have the annoyance
OF the police.
What kind Of a man 10 tho Cxarf
In personal appearance he is not i'm
pressive.
He ID now IS years old. and might be said
to be In his prime.
He is rather slender than heavy, and con-
siderably under size.
He IL sensitive as to his height, and al
ways stands or sits at the front when his
photographs are taken. 20 that the camera
will sxaggerate him.
His lack OF stature comes from bis legs
which are too short.
From the waist UP he is as tall as the av-
srage Russian. which means very tall, and
when he is on horseback or sitting he looks
like other men.
In this respect he is like Napoleon Bona
parte and Phil Sheridan, both OF whom
were long-bodisd and short-legged.
The Car is a blond.
He has q fair, rosy skin and bright blue
eyes
HIS beard is brown, and he wears It full.
He has white teeth and a pleasant smile.
His forehead is high and full. and his
face an honest one.
NOTED FOR HIS KINDNESS
TO ASSOCIATES.
Some of the best descriptions have heard
Of the Car have been from members Of his
court here In st. Petersburg-men who are
closely associated with him day after day.
The best expression OF his character seems
70 be that he is a Russian gentleman. He
A without ostentation.
He has none of the airs and buster Of the
Kaiser. He il a hard worker, but he lacks
the spectacular strenuous Of our President
He 10 noted for his kindness to his ASSOC
eastss, his retiring disposition and his love
for his people.

At any rate he became very angry one
day when her Majesty. who had grown tired
of his instruction. told him that he might
leave. as she knew much about the
Greek religion as he did.
He went. but as he did so, he prophesied.
saying that her Majesty would have seven
daughters. but never son. This prophecy
has gotten about over Russia. and as tho
masses believe what the priests say they
fear 1t may come true.
At any rate her Majesty has had four
girls and never a son.
The four daughters Of the Car range in
years from TO 2.
Olga was born in 1895. Tatiana in 1887,
Marie In 1850 and Anastasa in 1901.
CZARINA A GRAND
DAUGHTER OF LATE QUEEN.
One hears a great deal Of gossip hero
about the Empress of Russia.
Some of the people like her very much.
and some the contrary.
As far as / can Judge she is a charming
woman.
She is. you know. the granddaughter of
Queen Victoria. her mother having been
the Princess Alice who was the most at
tractive of Victoria's daughters.
She is the daughter of the Grand Duke
Of Hesse and as such has German blood in
her veins.
The Czarina is several inches taller than
the Car.
She is very beautiful and stately, but
rather reserved in her manner. She has
fair complexion. dark grayish-blue eyes
and regular features.
There is a small mole at tho corner Of her
mouth, but this rather adds to her beauty.
She has a low sweet voice and sings beauti-
fully.
The Czarna is well educated,
She speaks French. English. German and
Italian and since her marriage has learned
the Russian.
She has some artistic talent. and. not
strange in a German girl. she knows con-
siderable about cooking and household at
fairs.
Before her marriage she was compare
lively poor and now as the wife of tho
richest monarch Of the world she prefers to
live simply.
She does not like the splendor Of the court
and would rather be in the country with
her family than in the great Winter Palace
at st. Petersburg.

the valuable carpets and other things had
been disposed of without an accounting.
The result was wholesale dismissal of
officials and the revocation OF the unneces-
sary contracts.
The Cars palaces are worth looking at.
There is nothing like them upon earth.
Tzarskoe Selo. where his Majesty spends
much Of his time. has floors of ebony and
mother-of-pearl and walls 1nlaid with mala-
chite and lapis lazuli.
There is a room in It inlaId with tortoise
shell. another walled with bamboo and
many apartments hung with goblin tapes
tries.
1t has a ball room which covers moro
than half an acre floored with wooden mo-
siac. Chinese room furnished in teak
wood. Japanese room and other conceits.
This building is situated in a park Of ZOO
acres in which there are eighteen miles OF
drives and walks
This palace was built by Catharine the
Great. one of the most extravagant as well
one of the greatest of Russian rulers
When the buildings were first constructed
she ordered some OF them covered with gold
leaf. and as the story goes 1t took 500, OOO
worth Of precious metal to gid them
After a while owing to the dampness of
the climate the gold began to peel.
Catherine then proposed to cover 1t with
paint. whereupon some spectators offered
her $4,000 for the privilege of scraping off
the gold.
Il am not so hard up" said the old EN-
press, ''as to have to sell my old clothes TO
keep myself going" And she sent them
away and painted the gold.
PETERHoF ON THE GULF
UF FINLAND.
Another grand palace Is that of Peterhof
on the Gulf Of Finland. and another is
the Winter Palace at St. Petersburg.
I went through the Winter Palace the
other day.
1t is situated on the banks Of the Neva
River. running along them for about three
American city blocks.
1t is. believe. the largest palace of the
world. 1t is Of four stories and covers as
much ground as the Capitol at Washing
ton.
1t has about fifteen acres Of floor space
on its different stories. and II you will i'm
agine fifteen-acre field divided up into
rooms. some big enough to hold an ordi-
nary palace and others as small and cozy
as any in your own house, you may have
some idea of this structure.
The color of the building IL q rich old
red. 1t was painted last year. and 1t took
tons of paint to cover it.
The interior Of the palace II more like

rooms.
