RULED BY A CHILD.
Car of Russia Slave of His Own
Son.
Despot Over Millions, He Is Governed
with a Rod Of Iron by the
Little Grand Duke
Alexis.

st. Petersburg.-Now that the car
has safely reached home again
through the avenues of steel that lined
his way to and from Italy, it may be
interesting to note that, while the en-
peror is generally pictured as the
tyrant OF slavish subjects, it is not SO
generally known that he himself is
the slave of a most INSCRIPTIONS
tyrant.
This despot of despots is the little
Alexis Nicolaievitch, the heir to the
Russian throne, who is the only person
III the empire to ignore the sacredness
OF the emperor. Often when the czar
is occupied by the most important
business little Alexis manages to es-
cape from the nursery and, arriving
on the scene, demands that his father
ride him on his shoulders. The car
accepts the mandate and drops affairs
o! state until his son is surfeited with
the pick-a- back pastime
The favorites OF Alexis are an old
hon-commissioned officer, Stepan by
name, and his nurse, Maria Ivanovna,
who puts him to bed and makes him
say his prayers. These prayers are
the cause of frequent quarrels as AL
exis insists on mentioning old Stepan

SPEAKER THROWS DOWN THE
GAUNTLET IN SPEECH AT
KANSAS CITY.
NO use FOR INSURGENTS
Says the House Rules Will Stand So
Long as There Is a Congress-
Cummins, La Toilette, Bristow,
Clark Severely Scored.

Kansas City.-"When Senators Cum
Minis, LaFollette, Bristow and their
so-called progressive" following join
hands with Mr.. Bryan in making war
upon the Republican members of con-
gress who passed the tariff bill and
upon the president, who signed it, in
that contest know of but one way to
treat them, and that is to fight them
just as we fight MT. Bryan and his
following"
Such was the declaration of Speaker
Cannon, who delivered the principal
address before the Knife and Fork
club here. Mr.. Cannon said Senator
Cummins alone had read himself out
of the Republican party. He defend
will remain substantially as they have
been and are SO long as there is a
congress. ever since history began"
said the speaker, "the man in the
minority has been seeking some de-
vice by which he could overcome the
will of the majority"
Mr.. Cannon asserted that while the
Payne tariff law is not perfect it is
the best one ever passed under Re-
publican leadership, that since the en-
actment of the new law, production in
this country and imports from foreign
countries have greatly increased, and
day by day conditions are improving.
The insurgents" and their followers
he said, are seeking to hinder the pro-
gress Of prosperity by criticism and
denunciation and this, too, within
three months of the enactment of the
tariff law. Only such agitation can
halt the prospective era of prosperity,
said the speaker.
Continuing Mr.. Cannon said "The
demagogue we have always with us,
and as ours is a government of the
people, the only way to dispose of him
is to move on. I am perfectly willing
to trust the verdict of a prosperous
and happy people in the elections in
November, 1910. after the new tariff
law has been in operation for over a
year"

New York Nov. 27-Cook dropped

Not even John r. Bradley, whose

iding the secret to only one man
and perhaps his wife, Cook slipped
away quietly, leaving string OF puz-

September that he had discovered the
pole. Charles Wake, an insurance
man, appears to be the only man who
knows OF Cooks whereabouts. Wake
is firmly resolved to keep his Inns
sealed until Cook makes his where

pairing his data, well an intimate as

then hope he gets the rest he thor

Bradley said: Il am heartily sick of
all this mystery Cook is under no
contract to me. He can come and 20
as he chooses. but I did say to Wake
when read that Cook had sailed that

tor left for an extended trip without

where he is any more than you do.
If he is in this country, all right bat

Alexis, with his sisters, has been

no word reaches them of the serious
Of their father. The little grand Ouch
esses, like Alexis, are not pampered.
They are healthy, charming girls. liv-
ing principally out of doors. The czar,
who vigorously upholds the etiquette
Of the court, shows peculiar demo-
cratic trait toward his children. and
by his orders they must be called by
their Christian names-their titles of
imperial highnesses can be used only
on state occasions.
The czar is a very early riser. He
generally takes breakfast, consisting
of tea, eggs and ham, at seven o'clock.
The meal is served by an English
cook, the czar and czarina both having
a preference for English food. Imme-
diately after breakfast the car
smokes Havana cigar. His majesty
is extremely fond of cigars, quite un-
like his father, Alexander Ill. who
only smoked Russian cigarettes and
objected to cigar smoking among the
dignitaries of his court.
After long stroll in which he is ac-
companied sometimes by his children,
the car takes lunch, which consists
OF several courses. The conversation
with the czarina and children is gen.
orally in English. as his majesty does
not like to be overheard by the sery-
ants, who speak French. but not Eng
lish. After lunch the car generally
makes an excursion by motor car spe.
cial roads being laid down for his
use. Dinner is served at six o'clock,
and often few intimate friends
never mere than five or six-are in
yited. {.
After dinner a bridge or other card
party is arranged. Play is always
for low stakes. The car is an excel
lent card player. Sometimes artists
