Her reign was a riot of sensuality and debauchery, reminiscent of decadent Rome. Catherine had an endless succession of lovers and favorites, on whom she souandered recklessly the revenues of the empire. Graft, violence, cruelty and rapine characterized most of her reign, and yet. she must go down in history as one of the world's greatest rulers despite all of theso things. Possessed of an almost unparalelled political sagacity, militant, and alwavs seeking new lands to conquer, she worked always for the improvement and aggrandizement of Russia.

Questioned one time about the exiling of one of her lovers and being asked why, she merely shrugged her shoulders and said, "yesterday I liked him, today I don't. Thats all there is to it. There is every possibility that Catherine had been communing with the Prince of Tempters in 1764, when Ivan, grandson of Peter the Great was assassinated. Two things are certain; the first, that Ivan seriously threatened Catherine's right to the throne and, the second, is that the murderers were not only unpunished, but they were also made wealthy and given great advancement. Catherine herself was always in fear of assassination and took Peter was a besotted wretch, and after i joint reign of only six months, Catherine, through the formation of confederacy and a subsidization of he army, took over the throne and lanished Peter after demanding an 1 securing his abdication.

Her favorite saying was, "It is requisite to observe constancy in projects. Better do ill than change a resolution. .Fools only are undecided." It would seem that it was usually in he love affairs that Catherine became an accomplice of the Prince of Tempters. She was the acme of inconstancy and changed her lovers frequently, but, because she was of a mild and equable temper, with little in her nature that was vindicative, she always treated her discarded favorites with the utmost kindness and myKEdOfLCLE ATHiH aoB rb ec TODAY and TOMORROW Be Sure and Come Early for This Great Show!

Among other things which she did well was to write new laws for her country, and better than any jurist in the empire. About this one talent Catherine was extremely vain, and forwarded copies of her laws to all of the great rulers with whom she was on friendly terms, revelling in their praise. She effected useful reforms, founded schools, hospitals and colonies, arsenals, banks and built whole towns. She offered every encouragement to the arts and sciences and was a great admirer of French writers, particularly Voltaire, who she tried to persuade to make his home in Russia, ar. honor which he very sensibly refused.
