This highlight was published in the December 9, 1913 issue of the Chicago, Illinois newspaper The Day Book, Noon Edition. It reputes Alexandra to be the "unhappiest" royal mother in the world and falsely claims that Alexei was attacked by a nihilist.


The highlight:

UNHAPPIST ROYAL MOTHER IN THE WORLD

Here is the latest picture of the unhappiest royal mother in all the world and her son. She is the Czarina of Russia. With her is the little Czarevitch who was attacked and disabled by a nihilist some years ago. The Czarina's constant anxiety over her son's safety has cut deep lines in her face and has dimmed and saddened her once bright eyes.
