Expensiye Crossing

Tsar Nicholas | of Russia was an
incorrigible joker. On one of his jour
eys, says Novellen- Schartz, he came tc
an out-of the way post station, and
learned that because of the bad roads
it would take several hours by coach
to the next STATEN. They told, how
ever, that a footpath led through the
forest, and that if he cared to walk he
could reach his destination sooner
than by coach.
The tsar and his adjutant decided to
walk, and set out through the forest.
Presently they came to a river. The
bridge had broken down, and they
were considering how they should get
over, when a peasant came along. The
tsar asked him if there was no other
way of getting over.
mo, sire" replied the peasant.
How are you going to CROSSE"
ooh, just walk across on foot"
How about your pack? Can you
carry that?"
Surely, on my shoulders"
= my man, you shall have ten rubles
if you will carry me to the other
bank" The peasant agreed, took the
tsar on his back, and carried him
over.
Now bring my companion over for
ten more rubles," said Nicholas.
The peasant recrossed the stream,
picked up the adjutant, and was in the
middle Of the river when the tsar call
ed out, "I'Il give you twenty rubles if
you throw him off," The peasant was
in an embarrassing position.
you shall have fifty rubles if you
bring me to the other Shore" said the
adjutant nervously.
Sixty" yelled the tsar, from the
other hank, eff you pitch him in"
The peasant let go of the adjutant,
but he threw his arms around his neck
and cried out, "A hundred rubles! Now
take me Overt" The peasant accepted
he last offer, and carried him to where
the tsar stood
After breakfast the adjutant wrote
in his account book: For breakfast,
ten rubles; for transporting his maj
esty over the river, ten rublesi for
the adjutant over the
river, under highly amusing circum-
one hundred rubles." -

THE LIBERTY BELL

Here are some things about the bell
it would be well to cut out and paste
in your scrap book.
July 4, 1875, the bell was rung for
the proclamation of the Declaration of
Independence.
October "a, 1881, the bell rang out
for the surrender of CORVALLIS.
April 16, 1888, it rang out for the
proclamation of peace.
September 20, 1924, it rang to well
come Lafayette to the Hall of indie
pendence.
July 4, 1926, it ushered in the year
of Jubilee the fiftieth anniversary of
the Republic.
July "a, 1926, it tolled for the death
of Thomas Jefferson.
July 4, 1881, is the last recorded
ringing Of this famous bell to com
memorate the day of independence.
Feburay %, 1882, is the last record
ed ringing to commemorate the birth o.
Washington.
In the same year it tolled the death
of the last survivor of the Declaration
Charts Carroll, of Carrollton.
July 2, 1884, it tailed once more. La
fayette was dead.
July s, 1885, while being tolled fo.
the death of Chief Justice John Mar
shall crack was developed, starting
from the rim and inclining in right
hand direction toward the crown.
Another attempt was made to ring il
on Washington's birthday, February
%, 1S49, but the fracture was so muck
increased that no attempt has beer
made to ring it since Its voice is nov
silent, and yet it will ring in the hearts
of all patriotic people so long as the
name of liberty shall last.-Leaves O.

In manhoods battle l will scorn to

So with my burden stagger up the

Though bruised by failure, still my

Hopes drenched with tears will

For what is life but striving for ex-

And learning lessons writ in pangs

I'll bide with love, and self will be

Ask less and less, bestowing more

For truth alone will now sustain my
