GREAT HISTORICAL ENIGMA

Russians, in the intervals Of their
political crises. are discussing the his
torical enigma: What became of Gear
Alexander l.? Did he, as most histories
record, die Of disease in the mid-thir-
ties, or did he only pretend to die in
order that he might renounce the
world and end his days in holy asceti-
cism? Unimaginative persons reply
that, of course, he died-in Taganrog
on November 10. 1S25-and was sue
ceeded by his brother, Nicholas l.,
with whom England fought the Cri-
mean war. But this opinion Is not
undisputed. During the eighty-six
years which have passed since the
supposed death. millions of Russians
have steadfastly held that Alexander's
death bed and funeral scenes were
frauds; and that the czar was alive
nearly forty years afterwards. This
amazing legend is no mere peasant
superstition. The historian Schiller,
author of THE History of the Reign
Of Alexander L." himself countenances
it. and later M. Yermoloff has writ
ten a pamphlet to prove it true.
Some years otter the Taganrog

in mystery; and he aroused curiosity
by his dignified and commanding man

the life of courts. Those who had
seen Alexander |. declared that Koz-
mitch closely resembled him.
Kozmitch wandered about Siberia
and five years before his death settled

MARcUSE, CALIFORNIA,
LAND FOR PROFITABLE FARMING

Marcuse Colony, located in Suffer
County, which is in the heart of the
Sacramento Valley, is fast coming to
the front as a farming community in
which nearly every agricultural prod
uct known may be successfully raised
without irrigation.
The soil is a dark, sandy loan,
sedimentary in character, level and
we'll drained. 1t has the advantage
over other soils in that it is loose In
character and superior to heavy soils.
With this wealth Of soil, abundance
of water, unexcelled climate and long
growing season, Marcuse Colony is
the ideal place for the homeseeker
with limited means, the worn out pro-
fessional man, or the young man look
ing for a small farm in a healthful
climate.
The proximity of Marcuse Colony to
Sacramento, furnishes a ready market
for vegetables, poultry, eggs and
dairy products. Fruits, vegetables,
alfalfa, grains and grasses and poultry
yield large returns. The rainfall is
certain and drought is unknown.
Land is yet moderately priced, but
crop failures In other sections of the
United States will bring new settlers
in rapidly. This, together with the
holding of the Panama Pacific Expo
sition in San Francisco during 1915,
is bound to raise the price, and wheth-
er for home, or for an investment,
now is the time to purchase. Land
may be had in tracts suitable to the
means of all and the results obtained
are almost heyOnd belief Further in

BIRD FIGHTS POLICEMAN

Workmen were exhuming bodies
from an old cemetery in Paterson, N.
j., the other Saturday afternoon, when
large bird, supposed to be an eagle
or hawk, descended on tombstone.
A policeman made a pass at the bird
with his club. The bird rose about
ten feet, then made sudden dart at
the bluecoat, driving sharp. beak
against the peak of his cap. Describ-
ing a short circle, the bird Of prey re-
