leave Sunny" and who went to Russia when her charge-still Sunny to her welded to the present Czar.
 After the loss of her mother and father the Grand Duke died in 1S92-Princess Alix became more serious. From childhood she was remarkable for distinct charac- ter and Individuality of her own, and this was shown six years ago in connection with her entry into the Eastern Ortho- dox church. For the last seven centuries nearly all the Czars have gone abroad for their brides, who in every instance have been baptized into the Russian faith. In the case of Princess Alix difficulty arose. She refused to say that her former re- ligion was accursed; that her conversion to the Russian faith was due to her con- viction that her own religion was not found- ed upon truth" the law of the Russian church required. Never before has the Holy Synod of Russia had to face such refusal. Argument was in vain. "I mere- ly join the Greek church that may be of one faith with my future husband" she said firmly. And the Holy Synod of Rus sia had to make this highly important and unprecedented concession to the young German girl who not even for the crown of an empire would condemn the religion of her forefathers. At her baptism in Russia she received the names Alexandra Feodorovna, and the Czar afterward con- ferred upon her the rank of Grand Duch- ess of the Empire.

THE CAMPAIGN AS A WOMAN SEES II
What You Are Expected to En- dure When Your Husband is
 Honored by the Nation
BY MARY BAIRD BRYAN.

There is an excellent reason which keeps me from giving detailed account of the journeys made during the last campaign. To rise with the lark, and sometimes even earlier; to eat meals upon the instalment plan; to receive local committees, and in turn be received by several thousand peo- pie daily, and to retire late, do not leave a great deal of time for meditation or for the keeping of a diary I cannot, then, speak in detail, because I do not remember the campaign in that way.
 It takes no acute observation to find that certain elements in all crowds are the same. We came to expect these types in every gathering and were not disappointed. They grew to be old friends. The man who has not voted for twenty years; the man who has vowed that he will shake the can- didate's hand. and who does 1t at all haz- ards; the man who voted for Jackson; the man who exhorts the speaker to Init 'em again." and the man who voted for Lin- coin, but Is "going to scratch his ticket this year" are some of the faithful.
 But the greatest of these, the same in all climates and sections, in city and in country, untiring, energetic and omnipres- ent Is the American small boy. So much haS been written of him that it seems folly to add my words of mention of him. He was first to greet us at every station, run ming far down the track to meet the train, and whether his mission was to shout for the nominee or to inform him that he was
 In the soup' and mo good" the work was always done with neatness and dis patch.
 From freight cars and engines, from roofs of depots, from trees and fences, his shrill little voice could be distinguished through any din. If the candidate failed to appear as soon as the train stopped pushing and scrambling went on outside. Strong little hands clutched the window frAms and dirty faces peered in. Why don't he come out?'' Say, I played hockey to see him;' (Which Is him?" Where is he at?" q say, there, come out" were some of the phrases belonging to such occasions.
 But with all his apparent loyalty to prin- ciple, I discovered that this youth is full or guile I have seen him more than once slip his yellow badge and hide 1t in order 10 get button from my hand. At other times he has shouted long and loud for honest money" and fought the next min ute to secure flower from my bouquet

found great amusement In dropping apples of discord, looking strangely like cam paign buttons, along the track and watch- ing the exciting contents which followed. More than once did I fervently wish that all this wealth of energy and push may eb directed in paths of sobriety and good citizenship. Our country needs no other safeguard.
 To my mind, night meetings rank first in point of effectiveness. The small space saved from the grasp of darkness by baz- ing torches, the sharp outlines. the ghost like futter of banners in the twilight rim of the crowd, the intensity of sound which comes with the night, combine to make an impressive scene.
 I recall with especial pleasure one pie ture in our reception at Cleveland. c The time Of our coming Was particularly op- perfume, namely, at the early twilight. Be- fore us rose a massive arch. seemingly bit, of ancient Rome transplanted for our pleasure. This effect was heightened by the soldiers monument at our right whose tall shaft in the uncertain light did duty as the column of Trajan. Crowded 0cn its pedestal and at it's base. filling streets, windows and even trees, q multitude of cheering people, while thousands O! gags waved us a gentle welcome I cite this, one of many instances, to show that the artistic sense may find qualification even in campaign.
 The pathetic side of life was very much in evidence. One saw earnestness and depth of feeling which seemed to belong rather to religion than to politics l will not quote the words of loyalty and beuetiic. tion which were daily spoken, but these evidences of genuine good will can never be forgotten.
 Among the more unusual features may be mentioned the interest taken by wo- men. The activity was not confined to any one party but was found everywhere. Per This movement does not involve the ques- ton of woman suffrage.
 For several years I have felt that home Is the place to make good citizens. When the women of our land have a knowledge of the way our government Is administered and can give the child an intelligent an- swer to his questions the child will take an interest and pride in his future citi- zenship When husband and wife discuss at home the acts of our legislatures and the effect of laws upon the people, there will be less successful lobbying by cor porations and railroads.
 When families look into the advantages of municipal ownership of lighting and water plants; when they study the prac- tical workings of these reforms as seen in European cities, there will be changes in municipal government. A knowledge along these lines makes a woman better wife and mother and trains young people to prize our institutions.
 As the athletic girl has superseded the timid weakling of a few years ago, is it too much to hope that thorough knowl- edge of our government may soon be con- sidered as essential as any branch of hep education?

The Victorian Reign

From the Boston Globe.
 When Queen Victoria delivers her next great speech from the throne it might be well for her to review her reign in retro spect for the benefit of the nineteenth century historian.
 If our esteemed contemporary, the Nieuws van der Dag, of Amsterdam, Is rightly informed, some forty wars, aside from number of less serious reyolts subjects since the Queens coronation in 1887.
 The list of incidents during her peaceful reign is summed up as follows:
 A war against Russia, 1854.
 Three wars against Afghanistan, 1888, 1S49. 1878. Four wars against China, 1S41, 1s4s, 1s5s 1860.
 Two wars against the Sikhs, 1S45 1S4S. Three Kaffir wars 1S46, 1851, 1877.
 Three wars against Burmah 1850, 1852 1885,
 Eight was in India, 1857, 1860, 1863, 1864, 1S6S 1879, 1890, 1897.
 Three Ashanti wars, 1864, 1873, 1899.
 One war against Abyssinia, 1S67
 A war against Persia, 1852
 One war against the Zulus, 1878.
 One war against the Basutos, 1879.
 One war in Egypt, 1862.
 Three wars in the Soudan, 1894, 1896 1899 A war in Zanzibar, 1890.
 A war against the Matabeles, 1894
 TWO wars against the Transvaal 1881, 1S99 -'O-'
 The list is liable to undergo some con- siderable additions, judging by the present prospects in the East.
 The costs of holding the empire together form another interesting subject, and the saddest of it all is that all these adversar- les in war have been poor, ignorant peo- pies whom she has been trying to convince of her superior civilization.

THE PRINCESS AND CzAR|NA How Two Girls, One American and One English, Found
 Comfort in Russia.

The Czarina of Russia has added to her already numerous laurels, by the sending of a very pretty letter of congratulation to Julia Dent Grant, the Princess Cam tacuzene, on the announcement of the birth of a baby to the house of Cantacu- gene.
 The American girl was married in Sep tember of last year to Prince Michael, head of the wealthy and ancient family of Rus sian Cantacuzenes. The Prince met Miss Grant while she was visiting in Rome, with her aunt, and immediately fell in love with her. short engagement ended in the marriage of the pair at the villa of Mrs. Potter Palmer, in Newport, last fall. When the Princess arrived in Russia one of the first to welcome her was the Czar- ina and, during the holidays, the Princess was much at court. She visited the fam fly of the Czar in the Winter Palace and spent many days with the Czarina- The two young women conversed together in English and much of the home-sickness of the little American Princess disappeared when she heard her native tongue again.
 The little daughter of the house was born at the Cantacuzene family hesidence near Moscow. Immediately upon receipt of the news the Czarina sent a very cor dial letter of congratulation and a hand some gift.
 In thus throwing aside the reserve which Is supposed to hedge the one who wears a crown, Alix of Russia has only endeared herself all the more, not only to her sub 1ects but to the world of women. Many of her predecessors precious Czarinas, have not been so informal nor so cordial. The palace at St. Peterburg has been the home of great state and ceremony and an al- most ridiculous line of etiquette has pre- vailed. But the English Princess who now rules over Russia has insisted that only the necessary ceremony be observed to- ward her: and so she has come nerer to the people than any previous occupant of the Russian throne. The Czarina has a family of three little girls. the eldest. the Grand Duchess Olga, being five years old, It Is a law in Russia that no woman can succeed to the throne, so unless there are boys born to the Czar and his wife the of succession will be turned aside. This Is source of great grief to the royal pair. The Czarina is one of Queen Victorias many grandchildren. She Is the youngest child of the late Grand Duke and Duchess of Hesse-Darmstadt. Her mother, Prime ess Alice, perhaps the most popular mem- Der of the English royal family, died when the little Alix was only six years of age,

CAMPAIGNING IN KANSAS.
Gov. Roosevelt Made Number of
Speeches Yesterday.

Governor RooseveIt's campaigning began
early yesterday morning The first stop
made by the special train on its way to
Kansas City was atsJennings at Z o'clock,
where the New York executive spoke a few
words TO the small crowd on the platform
from the rear end of the car. Norton was
reached at o'clock. and here the governor
left the train, and was escorted to a plat
form in the open air. where he made his
second speech in Kansas.
Governor Roosevelt reminded his hearers
that In 1850 Kansas stood for liberty in
deed and not in name only: for that liberty
that knows how TO govern itself. and there
fore lssr to govern others. He said they
would be unworthy sons If they did not try
TO maintain the heritage for which their
fathers had shed their blood.
AT Prairie View the governor was in
tToduced from the rear end OF the plat
form to the crowd on the ground. 'I am
told that there is here a. settlement from
the land from which my ancestors came

The only happening out of the ordinary
in the afternoon was the purchase of the
two-year-old Elizabeth M. by w. c. Whit
ney for price said to be nearly $ZO,oO0.
After the second race he had her examined
by DR.. Sheppard, and on the receipt Of his
report the deal was closed. Mr.. Whitney
said he would start her in the Matron
stakes at Morris Park. and then ship her
to England. The mare was as yearing

Steve" LHommedieu for 1923. Soon after
ward she was taken sick, and as her train

would recover he advised that she be dis
posed Of LHommedieu then presented her

est in her to F. NJ. Melden, jr.. a we'll
known Philadelphian, for $3.50. This spring
the filly showed some fast work at Benning,
and an offer of 5000 for her was refused.
Since then she has won $1,000 in purses,
which, with yesterdays sale. makes her
one of the most valuable of gift horses
on record.

proved as it looked-a soft spot for her.
Henry, who rode, was inclined to take
things easy with her, and the result was he

was reached Scurry was second and The
