A GREAT WRESTLER.
His Encounter With the Gar and His
lanobIe Reward.

MS encounter With the Gar and His
lsnoble Reward.
One of the stories of Peter the Great
which are current at the court of st.
Petersburg is of the great cars wres-
Ting match with a young Dragon.
Once In the imperial palacc-so the
story g~oes-Peter was at table with
a great many princes and noblcmcn.
ana soldiers were posted within the
hall. The car vas in u joyous mood,
and, rising, called out to the company:
Listen, princes and boyars! Is there
among you II who will wrestle with
Ia czar?" There was no reply, and
Ii car repeated the challenge.
NO prince or nobleman dared to wres
tie with his sovereign. But all at once
a young dragon stepped out from
the ranks of the soldiers on guard.
Listen, orthodox car" he said. II
Will wrestle with thee" 'Nvell, young
dragoon,' said Peter, 81 Will wrcstle
with thee, but on these conditions: If
thou throwest me, l Will pardon thee,
but If thou art thrown thou Shall be
beheaded. Wilt thou wrestle on those
conditioner"
II VIII. great car" said the soldier.
They closed, and presently the soldier
with his left arm threw the czar and
with his right he prevented him from
falling to the ground. The sovereign
was clearly beaten. The czar offered
the soldier whatever reward he should
claim, and he ignobly claimed the
privilege Of drinking free as long as
he lived In all the ms belonging to
the crown. What became OF hlm his
tory does not say.
