Liberty dawned in Russia with the

Alexander abolished seldom in the

the growing power Of France. Defeat
ed, he allied Simself anew with Prus-
STA, but was decisively defeated by
Napoleon at Friedland in 1907.
Then he entered into Napoleon's
schemes. for which he was allowed a
free hand with Sweden and Turkey.
He wrested Finland from Sweden
in 1909 and Bessarabia from Turkey
in 1879.
He then broke with Napoleon, who
marched into Russia and devastated
Moscow. but was forced to retreat in
disaster. Then Alexander took the
lead in the final European coalition
which overthrow the French dictator.
Peace that followed the NapoleoniC
wars gave Russia all that remained Of
Poland.
In the meantime Russia had con.
quered northern Caucasia from the
Georgians and Persians.
Humanitarian hopes, raised in the
early days of Alexander, were disap.
pointed toward the end OF his reign.
His younger brother assumed the
throne in 1926 as Nicholas l., although
adherents OF an elder brother, Con
btantine, who had renounced the sue.
cession. caused some trouble.
Persia was invaded in 1926, and part
of Armenia. a Turkish province, was
annexed.
In successive attacks on Turkey,
Russia obtained control of what is now
Rumania, and compelled the independ.
ence of Greece.

We'll, Mr.. Editor, was up at Buck.
harmon few days last week and while
there learned that the circuit court
was in session. What do you suppose
Raw while was there? III bet you
couldn't guess in a thousand guesses.
Well, l will tell you. There on the law.
yers' table were 43 pints and 16 quarts
Of whiskey. Some of 1t had been sam
pied and some of it gone. 1t was real
amusing to see the lawyers smelling It
and one big guy went to sleep soon
after taking mis- sample. l suppose
It was the smell of the liquor that
made him so sleepy. Between the ar
rests and the tria! l am told there was
a quart or two missing but l was also
told that the rats were very numerous
about the court house and 1t Is sup
posed they got quart or two Of this
liquor.
There was lawyer by the name o.
Curt Rong He defended all the whis-
key men. He is a kind Of a happy go
lucky kind Of man. The whole week
was taken up in the trial of these whis-
key cases. There was one big fat law
yer there who every time he sat down
went to sleep. He must have had a
bad liver.
Judge o'Brien is real pleasant on
the bench until some one disturbs the
court, then you ought to see him grab
that big mallet. He looks like he
could throw 1t clear through you. l
