within Il own r~eeollectionk, more
than one of Russia's great ones has
laid down his life, the victim to Nj
hillstic hatred, the "Great White Czar''
Of autocratic power and strength, or
the "Llttle Father" of implied love,
guidance and protection, both names
and names only, falling before the
cruel dynamite bomb and laying down
his scepter under the call of death,
even as the lowllest 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 t o
open its doors to western civilization,
his ideas and plans living after him to
fulflment through his people, whom
he had infused with his magnetic
spirit. Catherine ii, while intellect
ual, comprehensive in her plans, strong
in their execution, and a wonderful
diplomat, adding much to Russia's
territory, was utterly devoid Ct con-
science. She was succeeded by her
son, Paul, who advanced the country
to the rank of a tirst-class power, and
under Alexander l, Russia held the
balance of dominica in Europe.
Alexander l was followed by his
son, Nicholas l, a stern despot, with
an inordinate faith in Russian Prov.
ess His over-confidence 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 III liberated 23,0OO,O0O
serfs in 1861, but was assassinated by
the Nihilists twenty years later, the

II was a darkish night with a stiff

through those quiet streets that lie
between Islington and Dalston. Just

D OF ROMANOFE.
How the Family Of the Present Gear
Got Its Power.

The recent turmoil in Russian af-
fairs 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 It's
rise and fall Is that OF other dynas-
ties, and once more we are brought
face 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
in S62 what afterwards became the
Russian Empire. Its chiefs were call
ed Grand Dukes until 100, when the
title of Gar was adopted. A little
more than two hundred years later,
the Tartan invasion of the dreaded
Gengls Kahn laid Russia almost In
waste, but Ivan the Great, conquering
these Mongols, again restored Russian
integrity.
The Russian rulers, up to the time
of Peter the Great, generally died vio-
lent deaths, and in our W days, aud

ROMANCE OF Il A
An Old Clothes Dealer Whose Kindly
Ack Melted Him Twenty-Five
Dollars.

The world Is full of romance. There

are persons who deny God and gravt.
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 a romance Is found
in the pocket of q cast,on 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
q 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
1t.
Perhaps 1t was several days later
when he had occasion to call Tor 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,
was brushed aside by the man at the
door, but a lady emerging at that mo-
ment, he handed the letter TO her.
She tore IL open In great haste and as
she read IL bushes redeemed her face
and a happy smile spread over her
lips. She folded the letter, put 1t in
her purse and handed the "old clio
man" a IS 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 1t.
Receiving no reply he believed that he
had been rejected and left the city.
He had recently received an adorable
reply from the young lady with an ex-
PLANTATION as to how the letter had
been delivered and-the wedding day
had been set. All this he thought was
due to the "old clo' man" To"the man
who had rendered him such good ser
vice he handed a $40 note.
The moral of this romance Is d a
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.
