wind up with the significant 'etc."
The Grand Duke Alexis was born
July 80, 1908. in the palace of Peterhof.
He is the fifth child and the only son
of the Emperor Nicholas and the En-
press Alexandra. The latter before her
marriage in 1894 was the Princess Alix
of Hesse. granddaughter of Queen Vic
toria of Great Britain. The birth Of the
%czarevitch was made the occasion Of
wonderful rejoicings throughout Rus
STA.
From all accounts of persons who
have been permitted to see the Russian
royalties at close range the young
prince is a spoiled. but very bright
%youngster. He has been permitted to
lord it over his older sisters and has
not proved amenable to correction even
by his parents. OF course discipline
by governess or tutor Of the heir to
the second mightiest throne on earth
has been out of tho question. But in
excavation Of the misbehavior Of the
czarevitch many amusing stories Of his
brightness and quickness OF wit are
told. For example. 1t is said that a re-
cent meeting Of the emperor with some
Of his coinselors was interrupted by
the intrusion Of the youngster. who
burst into the to tell his father
that his sister Tasia (Anastasia) had
walloped him. Being reproved by the
emperor for interrupting a grave mat
ter OF business, the boy left the room.
to return in a few minutes wearing the
uniform Of a general in the Russian
army. Giving his father q military sa-
lutte. the boy said gravely:
"Sir. I have the honor to report that
her imperial highness the Grand OUCH
ess Anastasia has had the boldness to
strike a general in your majestys
army And with that he marched
gravely out Of the room.

Grand Duke Alexis comes the only
