Sister Against Brother

a.
Sproul against A. T. Kelly was COM
menced before Judge Shaw yesterday, and
occupied the attention of the court during
the greeter part Of the day. The parties
are brother and sister, but from the testi-
mony there is no love between them. The
trouble between Mrs. Sproul and Mr..
Kelly, who are residents of Norwalk, arose
over a note for $3.50 and a mortgage on
Mrs. Sprouts land. She claims that she
borrowed the money entirely for her
brother, and he claims that only half of it
was for him. She also claims that her
brother has never paid any of the money
back, and he asserts that he has paid her
various sums that amount in the aggregate
to over 500. The sister admits that she
obtained money from Mr.. Kelly, but
claims that it was not to he applied on
what he owed her, but was simply for her
disagreement and some other things the
suit arose, Mrs. Spronl suing her brother
for the full amount of the note.
Kelly's story of the money tranzaction
was that after the death of Mrs. Sprouts
husband she was alone on her place and
wanted him to come and live with her.
In response to her repeated request he
place aud rented an adjoining place to run
and make money. number of checks
aggregating over 500 were identified by
Kelly as paid by him on what he owed his
sister, and he swore positively that they
were paid on that account and no other.
Back of this, however, is another story,
and that is that Mrs. Sprouts dislike for
her brother grew out of q beating that
Kelly administered to one Will Myers, a
man who had been paying attention to his
sister, and to which he objected.
The trial will be- resumed today.

A TOlSTOi
How the Author Trcated q Publisher Who
Did Not Know Him.

The following characteristic little
story of that eccentric genius. Count Leo
Tolstoi, is communicated to our Odessa
correspondent, by a Moscow journalist.
After completing one of his recent short
works the u went in search of q new
publisher. He appeared one forenoon in
the publishing office of a magazine
where he was personally unknown. He
was dressed after the manner Of q better
class mauZhik. and the chief of the es-
Enlistment, probably given to Judging
from appearances, was not over polite or
patient in listening to the counts re-
quest to have his sketch published, at
the same time taking the manuscript
from his pocket.
"Oh,' said the publisher, Il really
cannot Re bothered. 1t is no use my look
ing at your sketch. We have hundreds
Of such things III hand and have really
no time to deal with yours, even though
you were i'll a position to guarantee the
cost, which l very much doubt"
Tolstoi slowly rolled up his manu-
script, and replacing it in his pocket OBJ
served:
II must be laboring under some mis-
apprehension. l have been told that the
public likes to read what l write"
THE public likes to read what you
write!' exclaimed the publisher, closely
scrutinizing him. "Who are you? What
is your name?"
"My name is Leo Tolstoi."
The astonished and abashed publisher
was instantly on the other side Of the
counter, expressing the most profuse
apologies and entreating the count to do
him the distinguished honor of permit
ting him to publish the sketch. Tolstoi
quietly buttoned up his coat with the
manuscript in his breast pocket, saying
"You have no time, you say, having SO
many hundreds of these things in hand.
I must find a publisher who has time,
and II who will not require a guaran-
tee. Dasvidanyal' And the count walk

into the world wailing has been regard
ed as a sort Of prophecy Of the truth
that as a rule the sorrows Of life out
number the joys when all the returns
are in, but an optimist might see an
opposite significance in the fact that .
mans laugh remains the same through
all the changing years. When the cares
Of manhood succeed to the happy go
lucky days Of boyhood, this laugh Of his
may be called into use, as it were, very
little, but when it is put into operation
it is the same old laugh, and every boy
