oBEYINa A DEsp0T's WHIMs
Emperor Paul OF Russia Was Violent
and Eccentric to the Verge
Of Insanity.

Endless are the stories which are
told of Emperor Paul's (1797-1S0D
violence and eccentricities, writes
A. J. C. Hare In Studies in Russia"
One OF his fancies was that everyone
he met, wherever he met them, must
get out of their carriages and sledges,
stand in the mud or on the ice and
make him bow. This was, of course,
considered the greatest bore possible.
One day there was poor dancing
master who was going to give some
lessons, and he had nothing but a
pair Of very thin pumps on. He was
dreaGfully afraid Of encountering the
emperor, for it was the depth of
winter, and the ground was covered
with snow and ice; and he thought
* he did his feet would certainly be
frostbitten. AS he went along he saw
to his horror that the emperor was
coming: there was no way of turn.
Ing aside: he must meet him. He de-
termined at once that the only way
was to pretend not to see the EN-.
peror, and to turn the other way
Paul was not to be outwitted. Fie
stopped at once and sent one of his
escort to see why the dancing mas
ter had not obeyed his orders. The
poor man pleaded not having seen the
emperor. and implored not TO be
forced to get out, on account of his
thin shoes. The emperor would moi
hear Of it. Let him walk round and
round my sledge," he said, "and see
1t that will amuse him; and since he
is too blind to see me, tell him that
i desire for the future that he vii
always, at all times. wear greer
shades over his eyes"
