When he arrived at mature age, Astrach began to think of marrying, and he asked his father in what kingdom lived the most beautiful of all Tsar's or King's daughters. The King replied: "If it is your wish to marry, my dearest son, my noble child, I will show you the portraits of the daughters of the Tsars and Kings of all lands."
At first Stefan said no, he wouldn't go, but Militza insisted and finally, to please her, he said he would. So early the next morning he dressed himself in his fine Sunday shirt with its blue and red embroidery. He put on his bright red Sunday sash and his long shiny boots. Then he mounted his horse and before his brothers were awake rode off to the Tsar's castle.
The Apsheron men, excited by the Tsar's presence, passed in step before the Emperors and their suites at a bold, brisk pace.
The fall in the rouble was partly caused by the diminution of Russian exports, in consequence of the closing of the Baltic, the Mediterranean, and the land routes via Germany and Austria.

The essay from which these data are taken was published in the Frankfurter Zeitung, January 8, 1916. The undertaking was organized and carried out by two brothers, Brödrich by name, in one of whom the Tsar's Government placed implicit confidence and evinced it by appointing him to be chief of the police in the canton of Goldingen.
At length Ivan the peasant's son came to an unknown country, and rode through it for thirty days and thirty nights, until at length he arrived at the Chinese Empire. There he dismounted, and turned his good steed out into the open fields, while he went into the city and bought himself a bladder, drew it over his head, and went round the Tsar's palace.
So now you know the story of the Peafowl who became a Queen and of the Tsar's Youngest Son who married her. The Story of the Youngest Prince Who Killed the Sparrow There was once a King who had three sons. One day the oldest son went hunting and when night fell his huntsmen came riding home without him. "Where is the prince?" the King asked. "Isn't he here?" the huntsmen said.
Some members opposed the suggestion, whereupon Stürmer resolved to execute it upon his own initiative. In Rasputin's room, and in my presence, he drew up a document to that effect, but to make it law it required the Tsar's consent, and Nicholas was far away. It was Stürmer or the Duma.
