PETER TIE GREAT.

within our own recollection, more
than one of Russia's great ones has
laid down his life, the victim to Nj
hilistc hatred, the "Great White Czar"
of autocratic power and strength, or
the Little Father" of implied love,
guidance and protection, both names
and names only, falling before the
cruel dynamite bomb and laying down
his sccpter under the call of death,
even as the lowliest peasant Of his
mighty Empire.
Peter the Great, founded the great
city of st Petersburg, but the best
thing he did for his Empire, was to
open It's doors to western civilization,
his ideas and plans living after him to
fulflmcnt through his people, whom
he had infused with his magnetic
spirit. Catherine II, while intellect
ual, comprehensive in hcc plans, strong
in their execution, and n wonderful
diplomat, adding much to Russia's
territory, WINS utterly devoid of con-
science. She was succeeded by her
son, Paul who advanced the country
to the rank of n first-ClaSs power, and
under Alexander l, Russia held the
balance of dominion in Europe.
Alexander | was followed by his
son, Nicholas l, n stern despot, with
an inordinate faith in Russian Prov
ess His over-confidcnce brought on
the Crimean war, in which Russia was
arrayed against Great Britain, France,
Italy and Turkey. and which resulted
in the success of the allied armies.
Alexander II liberated 23,Oo0,OOO
serfs in 1861, but was assassinated by
the Nihilists twenty years later. the
present Gar, Nicholas II, coming to
the throne November 1, 1894. and who
can predict his successor. Who has the
temerity to suggest that he shall have
successor to the absolute power the
autocratlc dominion over his millions
of people!

ROMANCE OF 4 COAT.
An Old Clothes Dealer Whose Kindly
Act Melted Him Twenty-Five
Dollars.

The world is full OF romance. There
are persons who deny this, but there
are persons who deny God and gravi-
| tation. Romance is not confined TO
novels and the hearts of girls. 1t
crops out often in strange places and
sometimes in austere natures. But 1t
is not often that romance is found
in the pocket of a cast-off coat. How
ever, this story proves it. The story
comes from New York. A dealer in
old clothes, asserting his collection OF
"has-been" raiment found in the pocket
of a coat that had seen better days,
letter. 1t was sealed and addressed to
lady in an aristocratic part of the
city far removed from the section OF
the city in which the old clothes man
lived and worked. He laid the letter
aside, thinking that some day when
the spirit moved him and times were
prosperous he would stamp and post
/ II.
Perhaps 1t was several days later
when he had occasion to call for q
bundle OF disowned apparel in a part
of the town near the home OF the ad-
dressee of the letter. He took the
missive with him, called at the house,
vas brushed aside by the man at the
door, but lady emerging at that mo-
ment, he handed the letter to her.
| She tore it open in great haste and as
she read 1t bushes reddened her face
and a happy smile spread over her
! lips. She folded the letter, put It In
her purse and handed the "old clio
man" SIS note. He felt that he had
not only done a good deed but had
| been rewarded
| A week passed and a dapper, we'll
groomed man entered his shop. He
said he was the original owner OF the
coat from which the letter had been
recovered. He said that in the letter
he had proposed marriage to the girl
he loved and thought he mailed It,.
Receiving no reply h believed that he
had been rejected and left the city.
He had recently received an adorable
reply from the young lady with an e2-
planation as to how the letter had
been delivered aud-the wedding day
had been set All this he thought was
due to the "old clio man" To the man
who had rendered him such good SER
vice he handed a $50 note.
The moral of this romance is do o
kindly act when you can" Another
moral might be drawn from the Incl
dent, and this is: When you write an
offer Of marriage to the girl you love
be sure she gets the letter.

HOUSE OF ROIfANOFF.
How the Family of the Present Gear
Cot Its Power.

The recent turmoil in Russian af-
Ialrs brings to mind that Russian su-
premacy, like that of many other
countries in the past. has been found
ed on the sand. The history of its
rise and fall is that of other dynas-
sles' ana once more we are brought
iace TO face with the fact that '.the
worm will turn" for history is fast
repeating itself.
Chief Ruric was the first Russian
ruler of any Importance. He founded
n eb2 what afterwards became the
RUSSIAN Empire. Its chiefs were call
ca Grand Dukes until 100, when the
ute of Car was adopted. A little
more than two hundred years later,
the Tartan invasion of the dreaded
Gengis Kahn laid Russia almost I'm
waste, but Ivan the Great, conquering
these Mongols, again restored Russian
integrity.
