IL was called one day TO q certain
hotel to give chloroform to a young
woman who was about to undergo a
slight surgical operation to remove a
morbid growth IN the ear" said a ply
sician. "rhe patient. ms II developed
on my arrival. bad been married only a
few days before and was Ia the city
with her husband on their bridal tour.
Although quite handsome, she was no
longer exactly In her FIRST youth. and
she was very much averse to having
Der husband present at the operation.
However, he insisted. and she finally
agreed that he should stay, but l no
ticed that she seemed very nervous and
preoccupied.
"The operation. as I said before. was
trihlng. She took the chloroform easily
and all went well until she was just
regaining consciousness. when she
opened her mouth.sand out fell a set Of
false teeth. She had said nothing about
that detail. aud the truth was that she
had hoped. poor woman, to pass
through the ordeal without the fact Of
her wearing such things being known
TO her husband.
"But the effect on that individual
was entirely unexpected. He gave one
horrihed glance and then rushed at tie
old surgeon and seized him by the
throat. You Infamous scoundrely he
yelled. You have broken my poor dar.

The Lewiston (Mel Journal tells a
story of a minister In a prayer meeting
who cut short"Uncle" Ira. a prosy old
deacon. by ringing a bell at the end OF
FIVE minutes. But after doing so he
felt sorry, because he had apparently
hurt the feelings of an old father In
Israel. SO he arose and went down 10
"Uncle" Ira and put his hand on the
old mans shoulder.
"'Uncle' Ira" said he. I'm sorry for
that. / ask your pardon and
Uncle" Ira looked up, the anger still
In his eyes.
"Why, ye don't think | set down on
account OF that pesky little bell OF
your'n, do YER he demanded.
"Why, I-I-well. | thought STAN
mered the minister.
"Waal," said "Uncle" Ira, ''ye needn't
think no more about that bell. | want

Count Tolstoi is reported to have
said recently that he felt the approach
Of his last hours drawing nigh. and
that looking into the future he was
conscious OF no such thing as the fear
of death. All his life Tolstoi has been
trying to get at The bottom OF things,
and while he has changed much from
period to period, and expressed his
advanced views sometimes more radi-
cally than at others. he may we'll feel
now In his seventy ty-second year that he
has accomplished much OF permanent
value for the world, and that even
measured by his own high ideals his
life has been worth the living.
The last twenty years of his career
have been very different from the
years that preceded them. There came
a time when he changed from the pure
literary man full of ideas about the
right and the wrong aud the worthless
and the valuable in society, but ex-
pressing them always in novels ani
Other forms OF a primarily literary ma
ture and began to preach and practice
life OF Christianity modelled on the
New Testament as he interpreted Il,
far different from the ordinary Chris
tianity OF the churches In his last
book, however, THE Resurrection, /"
he has presented in story form the
fruits Of his life experience OF the va
rious types OF love- Tolstoi's family
was very wealthy at one time. and the
estates which he inherited were very
large. In his early days, after service
in the Crimean war, he lived for A
time wild life in st. Petersburg, rev.
cling in all forms of dissipation.
Wearying of It all. he married and
settled down, but the more sober he
grew the wider he opened his eyes to
conditions OF social life which he abb
horred. After his novels, especially
'Kreutzer Sonata" which dealt with
moral problems, he wrote works Civ
ing his views of Christianity and re-
ligion. In the early SOS he was very
radical In his mode of life, working
daily with his hands, desiring to give
his whole property to the poor and
encouraging a simple and direct NOR
slity in those around him. He was
almost intolerant in the vigor of his
beliefs. but since then, though he has
not changed his ideals, he has re-
spected the mode OF life in others In
greater degree Tolstol has been of
the greatest service to the Russian peo.
pie at many times, and especially 10
the years of famine in 1S91-92 For a
time he administered the national re-
lief funds. Despite his radical views,
he long held the confidence of the
czar. That did not save him, how.
ever. from a severe conflict with the
holy synod Of Russia over his religious
views three years ago. The views OF
Tolstoi about war and his belief IL
non-resistance are we'll known, and II
has been no surprise to hear from him
lately as an ardent friend of the
Beers, desirous of the humiliation OF
England.
