Who Have Been Devoted to the Outdoor Life,
Athletic Be Interrupted

ly inclined, but they were not enough
for Washington. He grumbled at the
comparative inactivity of camp life and
esta blished a series of competitive high
jumps over a rope, a diversion at which
he proved himself an easy victor. AS
president he appeared publicly in all
most regal state as far as equipage was
concerned. The state chariot was a
magnificent vehicle for an infant re-
public, and it was drawn by six milk
white steeds. Presidential state has
become simpler in its outward mani
festation.
The author of the immortal Declara-
ton was also devoted to manly recrea-
tions of the strenuous type, albeit his
Indulgence in them was tempered with
the dignity which was inherent in his
nature. The son of a well to do Vir-
ginia planter, Thomas Jefferson was a
devotee of the chase in his early life
and was admitted to be an excellent
judge of horsefesh. When he went to
William and Mary college to receive his
classical education he took with him a
sufficient number of horses ito indicate
his quality and to provide him exer-
cise." As an evidence that his tastes
We're classical even in the matter of
recreation it is only necessary to recall
the names of some of the horses owned
by him while at college -Caractacus,
Arcturus, Tarquin and Celer.
The fastidious and scholarly John
Quincy Adams was Unfortunately fond of
his reputation as 1.-THE best judge of a
horse in Norfolk county, In his cam
paign for the presidency it was alleged
by his political enemies that he was
little better than a race horse sharp"
AS applied to man of Adams caliber
that was rather strong verbiage even
for political calumny. The fact re-
mains, however, that the distinguished
statesman was addicted to the turf and
was the owner of racers. 1t is also a
matter of record that he declared that
the keenest disappointment he had ever
known was caused by the defeat of one
of his favorites.

holding a series of revival meetings
| Mr.. Alexander's arrival lent a great
| impetus to the work. AS a conductor
of congregational singing he is singu-
larry gifted. He employs no baton, but
| stands erect in the middle of the plat
form and uses his arms to lead the
singers. Sometimes his enthusiasm is
so great that he mounts a chair and
rouses his congregation to it's utmost
effort.
| Although Mr.. Alexander is one of the
most skillful leaders of great masses of
untutored singers in the world, that is
not his only claim to musical emf
hence. Some of his best work for the
evangelistic cause is accomplished by
his solo singing. He is possessed of a
baritone voice of unusual quality, and
| his singing never fails to produce a
deep religious impression.
| Last winter DR.. Torrey and his mu-
steal partner conducted series of re-
vival meetings in Birmingham, Eng
land. 1t was during the progress of
these stirring efforts that Mr.. Alexan-
der first saw the interesting young wo-
man who afterward became his wife.
She was Miss Helen Cadbury. the
daughter of the late Richard Cadbury.
a we'll known cocoa manufacturer of
Birmingh CHAM. Mr.. Cadbury was an ex-
ceedingly philanthropic man and gave
largely of his enormous wealth to de-
serving charities. He was the chief
protector of the famous model village
of Bournville, which adjoined his ex-
tensive works near Birmingham, and
finally converted his beautiful estate
of Moseley Hall into a home for con-
valescent children and presented it to
the city of Birmingham.
Miss Cadbury was her fathers chief
adviser in the distribution of his char
tiles. She was always in full sympathy
with him and was always ready to en-
gage in some fresh effort to benefit
mankind This estimable young wo-
man attended one of the evangelistic
meetings at which Mr.. Alexander sang

devoted friends in Russia. After her
marriage she did not at once become a
full convert to the Orthodox faith, pre-
ferring to wait until she could accept
it Understandings The fact that she
finally adopted it unreservedly and be-
came a most devout and Enthusiastically
sincere member of the national COM
munion made her acceptable to the ma
ton at large, and her well known do
nestle tendencies have endeared her to
the popular heart. Now that she has
presented the empire with an heir she
will no doubt be accorded warmer
place in the affections of her adopted
country than ever.
The Russian empress is very beau
tiful woman, with a lovely face and a
figure which still retains its girlish out
lines. She is several inches taller than
her husband, and that is one of the
reasons why they so seldom appear to-
gether in public. She is rather re-
served and dif1dent in the presence of
strangers, but to her friends, and espe-
ciaIly to her interiors in rank, she is
most gracious. She has a low, sweet
voice and sings in a rich alto.
The czarina is a well educated wo-
man. She speaks and writes French.
German, English and Italian. AS soon
as she knew that she was to become
czarina of Russia she began the study
of the language and has accomplished
wonders in penetrating its mysteries.
She has the true artistic temperament
and has decided talent for painting.
Like most German women, she was in
structed in domestic science and is a
competent housekeeper. She does not
care especially for the splendor of the
court circle, but prefers the society of
her own immediate companions, par
ticularly that of the four bright little
grand duchesses, whose existence. has
been made more tolerable by the ar
rival of their royal brother.
1t is perfectly safe to assert that the
czarina's position in Russia has been
strengthened by the coming
of the small potentate at Peterhof.

In the real sense of the term AM
drew Jackson was the champion spoEs
among the presidents He was an al
dent follower of rough and ready OUT
door activity of all kinds, but his spe-
cialty was the breeding and matching
of gamecocks. In this somewhat pie
beian diversion he took as much In
terest as any Mexican peon or untu--
tored backwoodsman could have feIt
and frequently wagered much more
than he could afford to lose on the re-
suits of these sanguinary conflicts
Lincoln and Grant were notable ex~
ponents of the strenuous life. The Tor
mer's early years were lived in tns
woods, and he was a famous hunter
even in Kentucky, that habitat of good
shots. Cares of state took possession
of his later life, but he always found
time to discuss the merits of good
horse. General Grant was far more az
his ease on horseback than on FOOT ana
he was SO welded to the freedom or
the outdoor life of camps and the open
field that he always chafed over in"
door confinement.
Grover CleveIand's fondness for open
air sports amounts to a passion No
prospect of personal discomfort or Sc
we're bodily exertion has ever served as
a deterrent when an alluring PROPOSE
ton either to shoot or to fish has pre-
scented itself. No modern disciple OF
the genial Sir Izaak Walton is more
loyal in his devotion to the teaching OF
1.-THE Compleat Angler" than is the
only living ex-president.
Benjamin Harrison was a devotee OF
hunting, although he usually shot birds.
President Roosevelt, on the other hand
prefers what sportsmen call big game"
Judge Alton b. Parker, while not a
sportsman, is certainly an exponent OF
the strenuous life, for many of his
neighbors declare that If he were not a
prominent man he would be the best
all round farm hand in the county. At
any rate, ne has always done much ac-
tuaI hard work on his farm at Esopus.

Although heir to all the Pan Slavist
aspiration of the century, the new
princeling is endowed with but a modi-
cum of Russian blood. His mother, the
estimable Alix of Hesse, is the daugh-
ter of a German father and an English
mother, the latter likewise the daugh-
ter of a German father and an English
mother. The royal baby's paternal
grandmother was a Dane. the beautiful
Dagmar. Even before this last racial
intercrossing the house of Romanoff
had become more Teutonic than Slavic.
For that matter, it was pure Teutonic
in origin. 1t first appeared in Russia
in the fourteenth century when Andrew
Kobyla came from Prussia and entered
the service of Grand Duke Simeon.
The boyard Roman Yurievitch, the fifth
in descent from Andrew, had daugh-
ter who became czarina by her mar
riage to Ivan the Terrible. Her neph-
ew. under the name of Philaret, was
elevated to the rank of archimandrite
and metropolitan of Rostov. In 1912 he
refused to acknowledge the Polish king.
Ladislas, as ear of Russia and was
imprisoned for nine years in Poland.
While the prelate was held a prisoner
in foreign country the Russian no.
bles and clergy assembled and elected
his son Michael as their ruler. He was
succeeded by his eldest son, Alexis. who
was the grandfather of Peter the Great.
Peter was succeeded by his second
wife, Catherine the Great. She had no
son. and the crown fell to her hus-
bands grandson, Peter. This prince
was the last of the male Romanoffs.
and the succession reverted to the fe-
male line. In 1852 the wife of Peter
Ill, who was the son of a German ia
Their, assumed the crown and reigneo
thirty-three years as Catherine II. She
was a German, the Princess Sophia
Augusta of Anhalt-Zerbst
