STORIES OF THE MODERN czARs.

In number the modern Cars of Rus
sia have been FIVE There have been
three Alexanders and two Nicholases,
counting the Nicholas now in the midst
of countless troubles. One hundred and
five years have they ruled over all the
Russians.
To the other Gar Nicholas, who was
the autocrat for thirty long troublous
years beginning in 1925, belongs the dis
tinction of being the only man who ever
determined the line of direction of an
important railroad merely by employing
a foot rule.
For long time the engineers to whom
had been assigned the task and the
Cars advisers had squabbled over the
lroute of the proposed road between the
"empire's two capitals, St. Petersburg
and Moscow. At last, the emperor, sick
of the delay and the wordy war, ordered
that ruler be brought to him.
Selling it, he laid it on map of Rus
sia, lying before him on the council
table, and imperiously drew straight
line between the two cities.
LET that be the route" he said, and
brought the squabbling to an end.
Straight as the line he drew, the road
was built; and to this day it remains
the same, with many towns of CONNER
cial Importance, that the road should
have touched, several miles distant from
it on either side.
This same Nicholas, as head of the
Greek orthodox church, was petitioned
by the holy synod, in a memorandum
as long as ones arm to declare whether
or not the existence of purgatory was
orthodox doctrine The question had
long been puzzling the great churchinen
But it was an easy one for Nicholas
He looked the memorandum over, took
his pen in hand, and "No purgatory"
was what he wrote on the margin OF
the memorial.
ALEXANDER I. AND THE Sucking PIG.
Alexander I, he who burned Mos
COW and thus contributed greatly to
the ultimate downfall of Napoleon, one
day went on a visit to a certain military
colony, and undertook a personal in
spection of each house.
At the first house he and his suite
found a commissariat dinner, the chief
dish of which was roast sucking pig,
spread temptingly on the table At the
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1906-12-06

second house, similar sight met their
eyes. At the third, also, and so on.
Finally, when the inspection was
nearly over an attendant, Prince Volk-
honski by name, grew suspicious that
everything was not as lovely as it
seemed, and in one house managed slyly
to cut off the pigs tail and to slip it
into his pocket.
At the next house, what should he
behold on the table but a roast sucking
pig minus tail
Il think" said the prince to his en-
peror, that we have an old friend here"
What do you mean?" asked the
Gar
Up to the table stepped the prince,
and, pulling the tail out of his pocket,
deftly fitted it to its place.
Critics agree that up to this moment
Alexander I had endeavored to up
lift Russia, and had succeeded won
derfully we'll for his time. But this evi-
dence of petty graft was too much for
him; it was the last straw. In disgust
he turned the affairs of state over to
Araktcheief, and, as one historical
writer has put it, the empire returned
to its old routine"

crown colleges, in talking over with his
comrades the reforms of Alexander II,
declared that the emperor was nothing
but tailor meaning to insinuate that
he was too fond of altering military
uniforms.
"These words came to the ears of the
police, who carried them to the sover-
eign. The imprudent youth was sum-
moned by imperial order to the palace.

PUNISHMENT THAT FITTED THE CRIME.
When Alexander II, known to history
as the Liberator, came to the throne he
at first busted himself constantly alter
ing the uniforms of his troops, and thus
won for himself the sobriquet, the mill
tary tailor" Concerning this part of the
Libcrator's career, prominent Russian
has told the following incident;

hotly exclaimed:

treatment that a proprietress has been
inflicting on her domestic serfs. l shall

AIExANDER's DEATH DUE TO KINDNESS.
All the world knows that this Alex
snder was blown to shreds by bomb
while out driving; it is not so generally
understood that he brought on death by
an act of kindness.
The explosion of the first bomb that
was hurled tore off the back of the
Cars carriage, wounded one OF his
Cossack guards and a butchers boy, but
otherwise did no harm. !
Even before the smoke had cleared
away the Gar was seen to get out of
his carriage.
'Are you hurt?" asked an officer.

mornings of 9Th and 18th. The minimugN
temperatures We're below freezing at
numerous stations, and possibly the

third of the state, in the western and
northern districts, the rainfall was
above normal, but generally conditions
were favorable for blowing and pre-
parations for planting. The cook
weather caused delay in corn planting,
but considerable progress in that line
has been made in the southern and
eastern districts. A large area is in
readiness for planting, and rapid
work will be done within the coming
week If the weather Is fair. All re-
ports are satisfactory as to the adj
vancement of grass in meadows and
pastures, and the small grain crops are

districts where the acreage Of wheat,
