. This handsome little boy In the uni
form of a Russian hussar is the Czare
vitch Alexis, heir apparent to the
throne of Russia. He was born in
July, 1904, so he has just passed his
eighth birthday. His title in Russian
Is grand duke, and czarevitch means in
English crown prince that is. he will
some day become czar if he outlives his
father, Czar Nicholas II. Grand Duke
Alexis has English blood in his veins,
as his mother is a granddaughter of
the late Queen Victoria of England.
Recently Alexis has been very much
in the public eye because of a reported
attempt on his life by nihilists. Since
his birth he has been the most care
fully guarded of European royal chil
dren and is constantly under the care
of Cossack officers chosen for their
fidelity to the royal household. Most
American boys would rebel at being
under constant espionage, but that is
one of many disagreeable things that
royalty must endure. How much better
. to be a free American than the might
iest ruler of a monarchy!
A Geographical Game.
Two captains are chosen from amo::g
the players, and these in turn choose
their sides until the party is equally di
vided. For convenience it is well to
seat the parties in two rows, facing
each other. Chance decides which cap
tain shall begin the game. This he
does by calling the name of a city or
town, and then counting ten. Before
he has finished counting his opposite
opponent must call out the location of
the city that is, the state or country
in which it is situated. ,
If he answers correctly he in turn
calls the name of a place, and the sec
ond player in the opposite row must
locate it before ten is counted. Should
any player fail to answer before' ten is
counted, or answer incorrectly, he or
she must drop out, and when there is
but one player left on either side that
one is the winner.
Snap A Card Game.
In snap the one who succeeds in
getting all the cards wins the game.
All the cards are dealt, face down,
and piled in front of each player with
out being examined. The player an
the dealer's left first turns up the top
card of his pack, placing it in front of
his own pile.. The next does the same,
and so on in turn, but as soon as a
player turns up a card corresponding
in numbr to the card of the prede
cessor one of them cries "Snap!"
Whichever player succeeds in saying
It first takes not only the snap card,
but nil the cards already turned up.
The cards he wins are placed at the
bottom of his pack. It. is necessary
to be very quick and attentive to win
at this game. Cards left over from
the deal may be placed in a "widow'
pile to be taken by the first "snapper."
