Then the empress spoke more softly.
Il understand that you often find
yourself in an embarrassing position.
But you believe everything that should
be repulsive to you. You yield to fiat

"My dear, do not talk to me about
these fables. You and / cannot think
of anything that will change all this.
The laws OF nature cannot be changed.
Some of the people will demand wa
ter, others will demand fire. All I
could do would be to make some con-
cessions. Otherwise everything must
remain as it is. It must be SO. Do
you understand"
The car seemed pleased with his
words. He leaned back in his arm
chair and added angrily:
Il have tried everything!"
But / cannot go on like this" cried
the empress. II cannot. I am going
away. l have no strength any longer.

the physicians
The empress looked at him angrily
and shook her head.
| Perhaps things will run more
smoothly when you will be widow"
said the czar rising from his seat and
running back and forth in his study.
"That is nonsense" he said sud
denly and rang the bell, pausing in
the center of the room perplexed.
! When the servant entered the car
shouted and stamped his feet. The
empress had tainted. She was taken
to her room and remained for . long
time under the care of her physicians.
The czar neglected all important at
fairs Of state when the empress was
i'll. In the evening the minister OF
the interior arrived at the palace with
an important report. When he was
ushered into the cars study the
car shouted at him nervously:
For Gods sake leave me alone!
The empress is i'll! Do whatever you
like! 1t is all the same to me-"
When the minister of the interior
offered few words of consolation the
car interrupted him:
II know you! know everything!
know you ALL" and he waved hia
hand.
The minister of the interior walked
out of the cars study confused and
Inundated.
And the minister of the interior
heard the car shouting to himself:
MONARCHY, constitution, anarchy
Even my nearest are against me-"
The health of the empress was shat
tered and for long time she was sui
fering from nervous breakdown.
During that illness various rumors
were spreading in the palace. 1t was
said that the czarina was planning ia
leave the palace and return to her M
tive land. 1t was then also rumored
that she wanted the car to abdicate
and leave Russia. But all knew thai
she rebuked the czar for his lsek u
will power and determination.

A CHECK TO
RHEUMATISM
d.. Williams Pink Pills Build Up
the Blood and Overcome
the Rheumatic Poisons.

Rheumatism defes any treatment
that does not build up and purify
the blood. The poisons of rheumatism
are in the blood and it is only through
the blood that the disease can be fought
successfully.
Unless the blood is weak and impure,
rheum atism cannot get foothold.
When it does the thin and impure
blood is not strong enough to overcome
the poisons alone. Unjust be strength.

Pills for Pale People are the best blood

abandon his name forever. This was
the more bard in his case because he
proudly traced his name to n knightly

Washington. May 21.-Unqualified
approval of the Bourne parcel post
bill was given by Postmaster General
Hitchcock in report on the measure
sent to the senate postoffice commit
tee and made public today. The con-
solidation Of the third and fourth
classes of mail matter would greatly
facilitate the administration of mail
matter. the postmaster general said
The delivery of parcels to the limit of
eleven pounds on all rural routes. and
within the delivery Of free carrier Of
fees was likewise approved as econo-
mis- and convenience to the public.
The establishment OF units of area
of invariable dimensions on the basis
of latitude and longitude are carious
charges for the several sections were
referred to as certain to lessen the
cost Of transportation. to stimulate the
general trade in small wares, increase
postal revenues and pave the way for
other postal reforms
'Jn my Judgment" concluded the
postmaster general. the proposed
measure will benefit all classes of the
pc, ple. except those carriers now en-
gagged in the business of transporting
small wares. While the patronage of
these will h" lessened. it will have the
effect to limit their business to the
more weighty freight which is dis
tinctly the business of such carriers"
Neither the house or senate has
acted on the bill.
