A Young Reorult'e Rapid Riae to Title and Power. One day a young recruit was stand- ing rd before the door of the en- trance to Peter the (ireat's private chambers In the palace of St. Peters- burg. He had received order to ad- mit no one. As he was passing slowly up and down before the door Prince Menschl- Roll, the favorite minister of the cur, approached and attempted to enter. He was stopped by the recruit. The prince, who had the fullest lib- erty of calling upon his master at any time. sought to push the guard attd pass him. Yet the young man would not move, bttt ordered his highneu to stand back. "You idiot!" shouted the prince, "Don't you know me? You‘ll be pun- Ished for this!" The recruit smiled and said: “Very well, your hlghncss. but my orders are peremptory to let nobody pass." The prince, exasperated at the fol- low’a lmpudence. struck him a blow In the fat-u with his riding whip. “Strike away, your hlghness,” said the soldier, “but I cannot let yott go In." Peter, In the room. hearing the. noise outside, opened the door and Inuttired what It meant, aml the prince told hitu. ’l‘he cznr appeared amused, bttt said nothing at the time. In the evening, however. he sent for the prince and the soldier. As they both appeared Peter gave his own cum- to the soldier. saying: “That man struck you In the morn- Ing. Now you mulst return the blow to that fellow with my stick." The prince was amazed. “Your tuiti- esty." he said. "this common soldier s to strike the?” "I make him a captain." said Peter. "llut I'm an officer of your mates- ty's household," objected the prince. "I make hltn a colonel of my life guards and an olilcer of the house- hold," said Peter again. “My rank, your tnulcsty‘ knows, that of general," tchlkol‘f "1‘ hell I make llllll a general. so that the beating you iiet may come front a non of your rank,” The prince. got a sound thrashing In the presence of the czar, and the rev cruit, who w a next day commission- :d a genera with a title, was the founder of a powerful family whose Ieacenduuts are still high In the lm- )crlal service of Russia.

The Tennyson centenary has brought many new stories of the poet. One serves to show his blunlneas and even ;ruftuess at times. A member of s teaslde house party, he found himself alone on a bluff overlooking themes with a young lady. It was the first time they had met, and the girl was timid In the presence of the great man. Tennyson neglected her. He sat with his hands on his knees. looking out to sea, without a word for half an hour. The young woman, flattering herself :ho muse was at work, kept silent. Finally Tennyson half turned around and in a gloomy tone said: "You :roak." The girl started in horror The poet added, an an explanation: "You creek: your stays oreak.‘ The girl unable to stand It longer. rushed away.

One of the Ironlcs of fate is that If a man Is fm‘tunaie enough to build up an enviable fame. he must die and leave It for an unkind future to play battledore and shuttleocck with. Among those victims is Christopher Columbus. The I test attempt to detract from the. cred t of the Genoese comes from the Sons of Norway. This organiza- tion. which would transfer the credit for the discovery of America from the South to the North of Eu- rope, reported a few days ago the find- ing in- Mlnnesota of a stone bearing runlc characters. a translation of which tells this strange story of an adventure of centuries agoi “Nisht'Goths and 22 Norwegians upon a voyage of discovery from Vine yard westward.

These. tales, told In the court of Eric of Norway, tired Eric with an ambition to find the new land. The result was Vlnland. beyond doubt the coast of Massachusetts. A settlement was made there and it was in exist- ence for 300 or 400 years. From Snot-re. it. while child born there, is claicod descent for Thorwnldaeu, tho sculptor. Undoubtedly it was a party of hardy adventurers from this settlement that. set their faces toward the forest and penetrated to the spot in Minnesota. where was found the runlc record carved in stone. There are records from century to century of Norse set- tlement in the new land up to tho close of the fourteenth century, when the sea rovers turned their attention in other directions. The stories of these wonderful voy- egers drifted into Southern Europe of coursa, but few gave them credence. The Zeno brothers, Italians. visited Grenland in 1380 and heard tho marvelous tales of a. new continent.
