H"@T was toward the close of the winter,
Nl@I and Brother Fred and 1 had gone
It9k up to the home of our cousins, Joe
'IQ&M96I and Frank Sanford, for the farewell
trip of the season in our ice boat,
the Daisy.
Joe and Frank lived about twenty miles up
the river, which flowed past our house, and
we had run up one afternoon in the latter
part OF February, intending to remain at the
nome OF our relatives for several days; but on
cne evening Of the day on which we arrived
az our destination violent storm came up,
ana all night the rain fell in torrents.
Not until daylight did the storm cease,
leaving the ice covered in places with puddles

the river about five miles from our home.

DEATH OF RUSSIAN AUTocRAcY.
How "LittIe Father" Looked When He
Read His Speech.

Vance Thompson, in his brilliant ar
ticle, The Dawn of Russian Liberty"
in the July Everybody's, thus describes
the Tsars already famous appearance in
the Winter Palace. preceding the Duma' S
first meeting:
THE little Tsar is left alone. For a
moment he does not move. An immense
space has been made round him. Then
with an effort, 1t seems, the Tsar be-
gins his long, solitary march, the length
of the hail. toward the throne. He bows
slightly to right and left-the glded dig
nitaries abase themselves; the deputies
stare at him with eyes troubled, skeptical,
bewildered. And who would not stare at
this little green figure, strutting with
short-legged dignity, through splendor SO
barbaric to the theatrical throne? A
somber little man. With care not to dis
arrange the purple mantle he sits down
upon the throne. A chamberlain hands
him a paper He glances 1t over and
rises; and in a steady, metallic voice he
reads the speech from the throne. Now
and then the even flow of words is
broken by a stress of emphasis; but he
makes no gestures. Very calmly, without
visible emotion, he recites the words
which, though he knows 1t not, strip him
of autocracy and free the one hundred
and forty millions of men he has held in

The dead body found on Red mountain

1t was not identified. Since that time
Coroner Paris has been making investiga-
lions with regard to r. J. Shafer, the
man who disappeared from near Cullman
last March. From certain marks on the
body found on the mountain he Is inclined
to believe that it may prove to be that
of the missing man. The coroner has not
as yet received accurate descriptions of
the clothing worn by Mr.. Shafer when he
was last seen.
But when the coroners jury meets next
Monday at o'clock the remains buried
in the potters field will be disinterred and
an examination made. The clothing has
been kept.
BY means of a magnifying glass Coroner.
Paris was able to partially make out the

Nothing further can be done along the
line of investigation now being pursued
until something is known regarding the
clothing worn by Shafer.
