AN HISTORIC PARALLEL.

How many students of history
have sought a parallel for the
present state of affairs in Rus
sia? So far as known, the near
est approach to anything of thei
kind is to be found in the time of
Nero Nero was a weak, vacil-
lating creature; vain and conceit-
ed. So one may conclude of
Czar Nicholas with but small
stretch Of the imagination.
Morally, Nero was worse than
the Gar, but times, ideas, condi-
tions and the standard Of morals
were different in Nero's time
from what they are today. Nero
had mistresses without number,
while the Gar is allowed a NOR
ganic wife. There is a distinction
here without difference.
Nero surrounded himself with
lot of dissolute courtiers, who
forced all of lower rank to bend
to their will as they bowed to the
ceazar. The Gar and nearly all
his ministry have for years fol-
lowed this practice.
During Nero's reign, nobody
was certain of life, nor property;
there was no law for just protec-
ton; virtue and dignity and honor
were reviled, and at last there
was naught but one vast orgy of
rapine and murder. So, on a
smaller scale, but equally large
according to the present standard
of morals throughout Christen-
dom, has been the cruelty and
persecution practiced in Russia
during recent years.
Gar Nicholas has been sur
rounded by more than one Tigel-
linus, nor has he had the strength
of character to heed any Petron-
ius who has spoken. Indeed, as
in the case of Petronius, any man
who dared advocate reforms in
Russia was in danger Of losing
his life. For years there has
been reign of madness, if not
terror, in Russia. But it will not
continue much longer, or else all
signs fail.
At last Nero's time came; the
people became bolder; revolt oc-
Cured and ''Bronzebeard" found
himself no longer feared nor re
spected. He fled for lhis life, but
realizing escape was not for him,
concluded to die an heroic death
He placed a knife at his neck,
but had not the nerve to drive il
home. Epaphroditus struck his
hand, whereupon Nero's feet
kicked the ground and he died. .
During the recent past Czal
Nicholas is reported to have con.
cluded that it was time for him
to die. It is said that he scratch.
ed himself, somewhat, but posi-.
bly, it smarted a little, or the
sight of blood may have sicken.
ed him, or some one may have
suggested that he refer the mat.
ter to his ministry, or-at any
rate he didn't succeed. Why was
not some modern Epaphroditus al
hand.
Can the reader see an historic
parallel? Considering the ad
vancement of civilization, has
Russia improved to any appreci.
able extent over the methods OF
Nero? Will the Gar live to olo
age, as Gar of Russia, and die q
peaceful death? or will he sue
cumb to dirk or dynamite at the
hands Of an enemy? These are
questions that are hard to answer,
but are food for thought.

tapping his wings with all the SEEM
ing of delight. Then, often, while the
echo rang, l would open my eyes and
watch the light grow in the dusky
cavern of the woods. He would sit
DOING awhile after the first outbreak.
and presently as the flood of light grew
clearer, lift himself little, take an
other peep at the sky, and crow again,
turning HIS head TO hear those weird,
mocking ROSTERS of the timber-land.
Then, shortly, would hear my father
poking the fire or saying. as he patted
the rooster: Sass 'em back, ye noisy
little brat! Thets right; boiler. Tell
D'ri it's time & bring some wood fer
the fire."
In a few minutes the pot and kettle
would be boiling and the camp all
astir. We had trout and partridge and
venison a-plenty for our meals, that
were served in dishes of tin. Break
fast over, we packed our things. The

and used to travel, they began to go
quietly. But slow work II was at best,
10 or ~ miles day being all we could
do, for the weather was hot and our
road like the way of the transgressor.
Our second night in the woods we
could hear the wolves bowling as we
camped at dusk We built our fire
near the shore of a big pond, Its still
water framed In the vivid green of
young tamaracks. A great hill rose
on the farther side OF It. with galleries
of timber sloping to the summit, and
peopled with many birds. We huddled
the sheep together in a place where
the trees were thick, while father
brought from the cart a coil OF small
rope. We wound II about the trees,
so the sheep were shut in a little yard.
After supper we all sat by the fire,
while D'ri told how he had been chased
by wolves in the beaver country north
of us.
D'ri was an odd character. He had
his own way of expressing the three
degrees of wonder. admiration and
surprise. "Jerushyl"-accented on the
second syllable-was the positive,
"Jerushy Janet" the comparative, and
"Jerushy Jane Pepperl" the super

"D'RI PULLED UP SUDDENLY-AND
LISTENED. PEERING INTO THE
DUSK"
when some artist of the needle had
tattooed a British jack on the back Of
his left hand-a thing he covered, Of
shame now. when he thought Of II.
His right hand had lost its forehnger
in a sawmill. His rife was distin-
guisbed by the name Of Peeswax-
"Ol' Beeswax" he called Il sometimes
for no better reason than that It was
easy spoke an had a kind NV pow
erful SCUM tew H." He had a nose
like a shoemaker's thumb: there was
a deep curve from it's wide tip TO his
forehead. He had a large, gray, in
quiring eye and the watchful habit OF
the woodsman. Somewhere In the
midst of a story he would pause and
peer thoughtfully into the distance,
meanwhile feeling the pipe-stem with
his lips, aud then resume the narra-
tive as suddenly as he had stopped.
He was lank and powerful man. six
feet tall in his stockings. He wore a
thin beard that had the appearance
of parched grass ON his rudy counte-
nance. In the matter of hair, nature
had treated him with a generosity
most unusual. His heavy shock was
sheared off square above his neck.
That evening. as he lay on his elbow
in the freight, D'ri had Just entered
the eventful field Of Renaissance. The
women were washing the dishes; my
father had gone to the spring for wa
ter. Dri pulled up suddenly. lifted
his hat of faded felt and listened, peer
