 He fumbles the cross on his breast adjusts his jewels. plays the devils tattoo, gets up nervously and looks behind the throne. holds his breath to listen.
 When people address him he damns them savagely if they kneel, and ii they stand upright he accuses them of lack of respect.
 He asks that ne be relieved from the cares of state. and then trem- bes in fear his people will take him at his word When asked to remain Ruler of Russia. he proceeds to then curse his counselors. and accuses all of them with loading him with bur dens that they themselves would not endeavor to bear
 He is a victim of amor senilis.
 This toterlng, dodering, slobber- ing shifting old man is in love-he is about to wed young beautiful girl He selects jewels for her-he makes remarks about what will be- come of her beauty, jears and laughs in cracked falsetto In the animality of youth there is something pleasing - it is neutral; but the vices of an old man, when they have be. come only mental, are revolting.
 The people about Ivan are in ter TOT of him, for he is still the abso- ute monarch, He has the power to promote or disgrace, to take their lives or let them go free. They laugh when he laughs, cry when he does, and watch his neeting moods with humping hearts.
 He is intensely religious, and af- fleets the robe and cowl of priest. Around his neck hangs the crucifix. His fear is that he will die with no opportunity of confession and abso- lutism. He prays to high heaven ev- cry moment, kisses the cross, and his toothless old mouth interjects prayers 10 God and curses on man in the same breath.
 If anyone is talking to him he looks the other way, slips down until his shoulders occupy the throne, scratch es his leg, and keeps up running comment of insult-"Aye" "Oh, "Of course" Certainly Ugh" Listen to him noww There is comedy side to all this which relieves the tragedy and keeps the play from becoming disgusting

 We are preparing all the time for old age. The two things that make old age beautiful are resignation and a just consideration of the rights of others.

 Incidentally this man had the pow CT put other men to death. and this he does. and has done. as his whim and temper might dictate.
 He has been vindictive, cuel, quar- relsome. tyrannical and terrible
 Now that he feels the approach of death he would make his peace with God. But he has delayed that mat ter too long, He didn't realize in youth and middle life that he was then preparing for old age.

Sewage Disposal
Plant Suggested Instead
of Sanitary Hospital

The erection of sewage disposal
plant for Steelton, instead of the
sanitary hospital for the building of
which a loan of $4,000 was voted
in 1918, was suggested by Edward
Lewis. secretary of the Board of
Health and superintendent of sanitary
sewers, in an interview to-day.
The $4,000 in bonds which the
voters authorized at the 1913 Fall cleo
tion for the erection of the sanitary
hospital has been issued and the
money placed in bank at 3 per cent.
interest. The borough is paying Az
per cent. on the bonds.
Secretary Lewis, in answer to a
query as to when it was planned to
do something about the hospital init
mated that public sentiment, in his be-
lief, isn't very strong now for the hos
pital.
while. of course" said he, ut would
be very nice to have a sanitary hos
pital, and while I believe it would be
a fine thing, yet it is my personal opin-
ion that a sewage disposal plant would
be of more benefit to the borough"
Whether or not there would be any
legal difficulties to overcome If senti-
ment favored the erection of the dis
posal plant rather than the sanitary
hospital, Secretary Lewis was unable
to say.
