authority, but when a matter requires
energy and determination you yield t
the first adviser who knows how to in
1luence you!"
Then the empress spoke more softly
Il understand that you often fine
yourself in an embarrassing position
But you believe everything that should
be repulsive to you. You yield to fat
terry and"
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
could do would be to make some con
cessions. Otherwise everything must
remain as 1t is. 1t 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!"
"ButH cannot go on like this" cried
the empress. Il cannot. l am going
away. | have no strength any longer.
l am afraid to look at myself! When
/ see myself in mirror l am seized
with terror"
What can / do? You must consult
the physicians.
The empress looked at him angrily
and shook her head.
Perhaps things will run more
smoothly when you will be a widow"
said the car, 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 a long
time under the care of her physicians,
The car neglected all important af'
fairs Of state when the empress was
ILL., 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 neryously:
For Gods sake leave me alone!
The empress is Ill! Do whatever you
like! 1t is all the same to me-"
When the minister OF the interior
offered a few words of consolation the
czat interrupted him:
Il know you! know everything! ]
know you ALI" and he waved his
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
rering from a nervous breakdown.
During that illness various rumors
we're spreading in the palace. 1t was
said that the czarina was planning to
leave the palace and return to her ma
tive land. 1t was then also rumored
that she wanted the car to abdicatq
and leave Russia But all knew that
she rebuked the car for his lack Of
will power and determination.

palace added to the misery of the
young empress. She noticed that the
czar was angry at her because she
was "endeavoring to introduce in Rus
STA western reforms and that she con-
sidered herself more intelligent than
the entire household in the palace"
In the meantime storms of unrest
had broken out in the land, and or
ders were given to pacify the discon-
tented at all cost. The empress did
not know Of the horrors that were per-
petrated in Russia, and when she
learned of them she consoled herself
in the thought that all the cruelties
directed against the Russian people
were not committed by order of the
car. She believed that the car, like
herself, was ignorant of what was GO
ing on in the land
But she soon found out her error.
Then her suffering grew ever more in
tense. She looked with disgust upon
the clique surrounding her. upon their
hypocritical smiles and greetings, but
she was unable to change anything
even in the palace. 1t was then that
she became seriously i'll.
When the empress had recovered
she divided her time between her chill.
dren and her desk. She turned once
more to the reading OF books and also
devoted considerable time to writing.
Nevertheless the feeling that she was
alone and misunderstood in the palace
weighed heavily upon her. She grew
ever more and more melancholy.
One day, after having worked for
some time, upon the tragedy she was
writing, the empress entered the
cars study. She found him seated at
his desk looking over numerous docu.
ments. He frightened up when she
entered and he kissed her hands.
Why are you SO sad?' she asked.
i am thinking of the future OF our
children" he replied.
The empress looked at him sur.
prised.
i do not understand" she began,
looking into his troubled eyes.
"A plot has just been uneartbed
he said cheerfully, yet with a shade Of
confusion
oh know about it,"
No, mean another plot-a new
one. They have just learned Of it to-
day And shaking his head he
added:
DO you understand now"
And he described to her in detail
the conspiracy of the terrorists
against his life. They became more
sad than before. The shadow of dan.
ger was still lowering over their
heads.
They endeavored to calm each 9th.

TENNESSEE SUPREME COURT.
Hands Down Several Interesting
Opinions

Knoxville-The supreme court, in
handing down opinions, held that the
act of 1911, exempting Campbell county
from the registration of its voters, UNI
constitutional and ineffective. This bill
was passed in che last legislature to do
away with the registration law in
Campbell county
The court further held in an opinion
handed down by Chief Justice Shields
that party marrying a girl who had
been indicted on the charge of violating
the age of consent did not relieve him
of the punishment, if convicted of the
crime. Justice Green, in an opinion,
held that the failure of special Judge
elected by the bar to take the oath
against duelling, was not sufficient
grounds to reverse case where con-
yictions had been secured.

CAPT. DOuthat Dead.

Fayetteville.-Capt. W. B. Douthat
died here after being in feeble health
for a long time The deceased was for
merly Federal soldier, having entered
the army as a member of the Twelfth
Tennessee Regiment, and being after
wards promoted as fist lieutenant in
Company A. The presence of a number
of old Confederate soldiers who attend.
ed the funeral in a body, was grace
full tribute to the worth and character
of the deceased and an evidence of a
true spirit OF Christian brotherhood.

MISS HOOPER SUFFRAGETTE.
Daughter of Governor Will Plead for
Woman's Rights.

Nashville.--When Gov. Hooper begins
his campaign for reelection, his 10
year-old sufragette daughter, Anna b.,
will be with HIM and has announced her
intention to attend all her fathers
meetings this fall.
More than year ago the little girl
declared herself an advocate of votes
for women, and at the invitation of the
Nashville Equal Suffrage League made
an address before that body, telling in
her childish way why she wanted women
to vote. Gov. Hooper is not an advocate
of equal suffrage, but his daughter says
she expects to win her father over to
her way of thinking.

Tennessee Industrial School.

NashvilIe.-The exhibit of the Tonnes
see Industrial School at the State Fair
was highly interesting, and showed that
the school is carrying on a great work.
This school teaches any trade one

through the twelfth grade in the literary
department. 1t is great treat to any
one to visit the institution, and all Ten
nesseans should be proud of this school
and the wonderful work Prof Kilving-

Stolen When Child.

Nashville.-An unusual life story is
brought to light here by the death of
Capt. Rufus NJ. Westbrook, aged 1o2.

STATE FAIR SUCCESS.
Live Stock and Stables Were Shipped to
Memphis.

Nashville.-The state fair, which
closed Saturday, was quite as successful
as that Of 1911, little more money be-
ing taken in at the gates.
The total paid attendance this year
was 1884, compared with S8,87o in
1911.
The gate receipts for 1912 exceeded
those for 1911 by $2,737.52.
This is accounted for by the fact that
there were more adult admissions this
year.
Much of the stock and several racing
stables were shipped to Memphis.

Recently many Of our county farm
