Frank Blakency has applied to the county board for a license to sell liquor at Nims City. 'Ve arc informed that a remonstrance t will be filed and a spirited con- test will be the rcsult. It is said that every freeholder in Nims t City has signed the saloon peti- tion , and that the remonstrance comes from the outside. If this bc correct the county board should grant thc license , as it is certainly better for thc county to have a licensed saloon than it would bc to have constant trou- ble with a joint.

CZAR HAD A CRYING TIME. , When Compelled to Review Army the Heir to the Throne Was Dragged . to Stand.I Emperor Nicholas and his two brothers , George and Michael were educated entirely by private tutors under the direct superiil- tendence of their father and mother , says the 'Vashington 'Star. III the magnificent Anitcim kohl the ' Pros- palace on Nevsl\J' : - pekt , a bare , UlH.'arpeted room waR assigned as the schoolroom of the imperial children. Its fnrnituee consisted entirely } of wooden desks and benches and the walls were decorated bJ' pictur'es'eu.t from the foreign illustrated papers - pcrs antI pasted there by the boys themselves. Time boys were sent to thl' sehoIlroom immediately after 'an . early breakfast and not allowed to leave it until noon. The after . noon was theirs for play , but the 1Il01'ning hours had to bc devoted to study. They were taught but litU mathematics and , in fact , their whole education consisted prac- ticallJ' of modern languages ' , drawing , music and Ilussian his- t.orJ' Of the history of' other countries they were taught more as they grew older , but the most they got of general history was cl mere smattering after all. The result is that , aside from his knowledge of modern languages the czar is not so welI' educated aH the ol'dinHI'J school boy of .Ame1' ca. The rand Duke George was nearer ' the age of Nicholas than his brother Michael and was his companion in all sports and stud ies. George was a stout , robust youth , and NickJ" : always looked up to him and regarded e'erJ' . thing he did its just about right. His death nearly broke the heart of his brother. The other brother , Grand Duke Michael , being the youngest child , was always the favorite of his mother. 'At 15 Michael was made colonel of a regiment of Russian infantry and proudly put on his uniform and reviewed his reo'i- t : ) men t. Nicholas and George also had titles of honor as commanders iu thc army and navy of Russia , and ] were provided with gorgeous uni- forms , but hated to go to reviews and other functions where there were soldiers. If possible Nich- 01u,2 would steal away somewhere - where und would be found quietly sketching at a time when thc heir of thc empire was wanted to sit ou horseback before the al'mJ' Time young general of 13 often had to e punished before he would go tea a review , and he had many a good crying spell when he was told to put 011 his uniform and go out und play soldier before thc IlH tion. Italy to : protect Birds. The Italian minister of agriculture - tune has written { to a Gel'ma so. cietJ for the protection of nni orals that his goverunlent will ! probably soon take action to check the wholesale slaughter : of birds in Italy. ; - i il : ! , _ _ . . . _ l . . .

DOCTOR GAVE ' HUBBY AWAY Spowse Who , Put Thermometer in , Wife's Mouth , on Pretense of Tak- r ing Temperature Is Quelled. Mrs. Kagby was "ont of sorts , " as her long-sutfcring spouse had every opportunitJ' of realizing. TIcI' malady increasing , the fam- ily doctor was called in. Hc mlH.ll 1\ t the usual inquiries of thc patient , " t and then placed his thermhometer under her tongue. The silence . that followed'this operation wa : ; so deep and soothing that MI' Nagby made a mental note of it' . N pxt ( day on returning from business he produced a little ther- mOllletl'1' similar to that used bJ the doctor . find linuoUlwl'd that in future , to save doctors' bills , he - - ; . would himself take his wife's teni- t perature , ill' announced that hc t. had obtained the thermometer ; . from the doctor , who had given . . . . . . him full instructions as to its nsc. . . . 1\h's. Kagby replied thatberhus- hand showed more consideration for her than he had laver done be. fOI'p. She timer launched into a vigorous denunciation of his Cal lous inditfl'I'cuce in thc past. , _ . Before site had got very far with ) tlw tirade t MI' . Nagby discovered ( grave l sJ'mpt.ullls denoting a dau- gPI'OUS rise of temperature , avd promptly ( placed the thermometer iu her mou tl1. "Y01J4uuist keep it there ten minutes , " he said. "Tile doctor told me so. ; ' II's.

It was too beautiful to last , and i thc end was sudden and tragic. , One day , on arl'ivfiig home , MI' : ! Nagb ; met the ' doctor , who was , . . 1 ' 1 \ just leuyiug. ' " \Vhat are all hesc tales ' you've ; been telling your wife about :1 thermometer ! " he asked. And. smiling grimly , he added : ' 'She iH I waiting to have a word with ) 'ou.
