Russia and Alexis Rozoumoffsls.

age of twelve, by Prince RadZivil and
concealed in a convent in Rome. This
step was taken by the dissatisfied
noble TO curb the ambition of Cath

and her favorite, Alexis Orloff, him

against the government of Catherine.
prevailed upon the princess, in the
absence of Radzivil, to marry him, re
turn to Russia and incite a new insur-
rection. The young and unsuspecting
princess had no sooner placed her
self in his power than she vas seized
while on board a ship in the bay of
Leghorn. She was bound in chains
and carried to ST. Petersburg. In De

Neva suddenly forced the waters into
her prison cell and she was drowned

A 1923 Good Fairy.

One of Wichita's richest men saw a
little girl, poorly dressed, standing at
a display window of one of Wichita's
leading cafes gazing wistfully. at the
good things to eat which were exhibit
ed. The mans heart was touched. He
approached her, touched her on the
shoulder and asked her to tell him the
circumstances of her parents. The lit
tie girl did and his heart was touched
still further. The rich man pulled
a package from his pocket, gave ii
TO her and said: Here, child, l have
Tor than Iwant. Give this1to your
mother and tell her it will last her
a year" The mother unwrapped the
package with trembling hands after
the girl came home. Inside the pack
age lay a nice, new calendar.-Wichita

His Third Party Chances.

Seemingly as Washington looks at it
today the chief chance of Henry
Ford's nomination for the presidency
lies in the possibility or probability of
a formation of a third party. If such a
thing as this should come to pass, the
Republican managers to think
they would lose many of their adj
herents, but they still have strong
doubt as to whether or not such lead
ers within their own party as have
shown third party leanings really
would go to the extreme of joining
such a party and of supporting Mr..
Ford as its nominee.
There recently closed in Chicago a
conference of men in public life who
met together to consider railroad legis-
lation, or as somebody has put it. rail
roaG restraints. Senator LaFollette
was the leading figure in this confer
ence, but among his associates were
Democrats who hold membership in
congress and others of the party who
are prominent in one line or another
of progressive or radical endeavor.
1t is from groups like this the Re
publicans and the Democrats feel that
thirG party strength may be recruited.
II is said that Senator Borah, who had
something to say a year ago about the
formation of a third party, has a bet
ter understanding with Mr.. LaFol-
lette today than yer he had before.
This may or may not be true, for Sen
ator Borah always is doing the unex-
pected and he has in him, as past
political history shows, an ingraining
of regularity which at the last moment
may keep him. or possibly certainly
will keep him within the fold of Re
publicanism.
