PETER THE GREAT.
History Shows That the Old Ruler OF
Russia Was a Monster.

Years ago, when a low standard
Of morals prevailed, the cpithet
"great" was bestowed upon any
monarch who won battles and en-
larged the territory and resources
of his kingdom. 1t mattered little
then to the historian what might
be a kings private character, pro-
vided he made his nation formi-
dable by its brute strength and full
treasury. Even if he was a bad man
they culogized him as a great ruler.
Peter |. of Russia is called Peter
the Great because he transformed
a barbarous into a semibarbarous
nation. But no one can now read
the following summary Of his char
acter without a feeling Of disgust.
Voltaire, in his philosophical Die
tionary," says that peter was half
hero and half tiger" Macaulay de-
clares that "to the end Of his life
he lived in his palace like a hog in
a sty, and when he was entertained
by other sovereigns never failed to
leave unequivocal proof that a saw
age had been there"
Peter, when the fit was on him,
literally caned everybody-from
his cook to his counselor, from the
meanest peasant to the highest no.
ble-sparing neither age nor sex.
He would get up from the table
and fog the host who was enter
tanning him. He would stand at
the door Of the senate house and
fog each senator that went in. LIE
fort was an intimate and trusted
friend, yet on slight provocation he
was knocked down and brutallv
kicked by his imperial master. But
all this hogging was in the way Of
recreation. When Peter "meant
business" it was a more serious mat
ter. Incredible as it NAV seem, it is
nevertheless we'll authenticated
that one Of his W sisters-it is
said more than one-received 100
strokes of the whip on her back in
the presence Of the whole court.
In 1913 Alexis, his only son who
outliycd infancy, was for some Of
Tense Of no great seriousness sew
eral times tortured in the presence
Of the diabolical father and in the
end died either from the effect of
the torture or by assassination. For
sympathizing with Alexis the Prin,
cess Golitsyn, the bosom compan-
ion of the Empress Catherine, was
publicly whipped by soldiers. For
the same reason the brother of his
first wife, Eudoxia-whom he had
thrown into prison-was tortured
and then torn in pieces on the
wheel. Nothing ever told of Nero
is more horribly grotesque than
this, yet this man, or monster
rather, is paraded before the world
as Peter the Great. 4
