fierce troops to continue the slaughter

court for an eighth. But the English
girl he chose-daughter OF the earl of
Huntington-begged SO piteously to be
saved from the fate Of wedding the
imperial monster that the match was
broken of.
Fiend as he was, Ivan the Terrible
did great things for Russia. He opened
its ports to the commerce of the world,
established the first printing office
there, conquered and annexed Siberia
and-except In his fits of madness
encouraged civilization and progress
among his savage people. He was a
shrewd statesman, a crafty warrior, a
man not devoid OF genius.
AS the years went on Ivan's insane
fear of conspiracy and assassination
grew stronger. Falsely suspecting his
eldest and ablest son OF plotting with
his foes, he struck the young man
dead with a blow OF his iron stan.
Remorse for this murder fastened
lvan's own death. Surrounded by
quacks and 'magicians"-a prey to
superstitious terrors-now repenting
his cruelties. now feverishly planning
fresh atrocities-the tyrant wore out
the last three years of his vile life,
dying in 1884.

willingly accepted the governments
offer and secretly became it's paid

In 1924 Mcintosh received q large
cash offer for his services in plan
for ceding 100000 mora acres OF
the Creeks to the government. The
majority of the Creeks hercely pro-
tested against this glaring robbery.
John C. Calhoun, secretary Of state,
declared that 1t was cruelty unjust.
President Monroe laid the treaty be-
fore the United States senate. And.

which Mcintosh had offered bribc
money TO one OF the Creek officials to
side with the government was discov-
cred by the Indians. This proved the
willy half-breed's treachery past all
question. The Creeks-using his own
old law as death manufactured
McIntosh's life forfeited.
This time Mcintosh was really
alarmed. He retired to fortified
house at Milledgeville and surrounded
himself with a strong guard. The
Creeks went about the traitors execu.

On the night of May l. 1925. one
hundred of them surrounded his
house. They sent orders to his guards
servants and family to leave the place
at once. Then they burned the house
to the ground. Mcintosh. dashing out
through the flames. was shot dead.
No punishment was inflicted on Nc

Ivan the Terrible"
Russia was least civilized OF all
European lands. Its early history was
,ne OF needless bloodshed and merci-
ess conquest The rulers we're called
grand dukes, until Ivan the Terrible
became the first czar. He took the
title of "czar" because that was the
Russian form of Caesar" a title ap-
,lied to Rome's emperors. ("Kaiser"
8 another form of the same word)
Ivan mounted the throne In 1888, at
lis fathers death. He was but four
Years old at the time and was for the
1ext ten years wholly in the power of
brutal mobiles who ruled the court.
Then when he was fourteen a political
clique made up OF his relatives came
nto power and proceeded to teach
aim to be more iend than human
being. When Ivan was seventeen he
had a vision, or trance. in which he
believed an angel warned him to lead
better life. He obeyed-more
through fear and superstition than
from religious zeal.
For the next 13 years Ivan was a
model ruler. He did much for his peo-
pie. was gentle and wise, and gave
promise of an ideal career. The
noblest influence in all his life was his
lovely wife, Anastasia. He loved her
and was guided by her advice. In 1860
came the change that made him an
object OF dread.
In that year Anastasia died. Ivan
