Foppishness of Gen. Ruzsky
Leads Him to Success

zen. RUZSKY, commander Of this
~ Russian armies in the campaign
against the Austrians. and the present
hero Of the land Of the car, was noted
when a young lieutenant for the ele-
gance and daintiness of his dress. His
enemies called him a fop and dandy.
ridiculing his habit OF dress as a form
Of conceit; yet 1t was primarily to this
so-called weakness that he owed his
rise in the Russian army.
In the Turko-Russian war OF 1877,
Ruzsky, then young lieutenant served
as aid-de-camp upon the stan Of one of
the subordinate Russian generals. In
the heat of the battle of Plevna he had
occasion to carry a dispatch from his
commanding officer to the commander
in-chief, Gen. Skobelev. He found Gen.
Skobelev standing in an exposed posi-.
ton in the lines. surrounded by his
staff.
Just as young Ruzshy delivered his
dispatch to the commanding general a
shell from one Of the Turkish batteries
struck the ground nearby. and, explod-
ing, flung a shower of dust and dirt
over the party. Most of the staff OFF,
GERS involuntarily ducked their heads
at the crash. but young Ruzsky stood
though he were in a ballroom, he drew
forth spotless handkerchief and
daintily proceeded to f1eck the dirt from
his Immaculate uniform. A smile of
derision fitted across the faces of Sk0-
belev's staff at this exhibition of ap-
parent foppishness. But not SO Gen.
Skobelev. Looking on the young man
with an air Of sudden interest, he asked
his name.
You will remain with me hereafter
as member Of my staff" he added. II
am in need Of just such men as you"
Years after, when Ruzskys efficient
service had proven the correctness OF
Skobelev's estimate of him, that general
was narrating the incident of the BURST
ing shell to the car.
When a soldier has such a keen re-
gard for his appearance before his fell
bowman that no sudden and imminent
danger can lessen his consciousness and
concern for it," he explained, "he makes
a most dependable leader Of others For
he will suffer death even rather than
permit any concern for his personal
safety to impair the impression of su-
periority to others he desires to make
guards the neatnesS and daintiness of
his personal attire through his desire
to impress his superior elegance upon
others. so, even though he be a coward
at heart, he will always play the part
of the brave man. ignorant Of fear, on
account of his intense desire to have
the world consider him possessed OF
superior and manly qualities.
And In Ruzsky I am doubly fortu-
nate" concluded the veteran of the
Turcoman wars. with a smile Of salts

nature For he is both q brave man
