A GREAT RUSSIAN.
TOLSTOT BRAVELY AWAITS THE
ANGEL OF DEATH.
Says He Il X ATTY to- Go ANY Time,
That His Lies Work IL Done
Russia l. Better That He ua. Lived
Friend Of the Gar.

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-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 and the worthless
and the valua BILE in society, but ex-
pressing them always in novels AMI
other forms OF primarily literary ma
tuTe and began to preach and practice
a life of Christianity modelled on the
New Testament as he interpreted it.

pendS as much on the elasticity of the
air cells and OF the chest resuming its

the lungs when they are distended
with air. Or sudden forced expirations.
We should use exercises which
strengthen the exploratory muscles.
The backward fiexions accomplish this
purpose. All exercises are resp!ra-

urday night or Sunday morning and
rifled of large number Of knives, razors
and guns. Mayor Whiteley estimates
his loss at about sIoo. Entry was made

The burglar evidently carried some kind
of a receptacle into which the knives
and razors were placed, as the boxes had
been carefully opened, their contents re.
moved and the boxes but back in the
show cases. The cutlery taken was of
the poorer quality, the high priced goods
being overlooked. In shooting irons"
the burglar preferred 1856 Marlin rifle
to much finer one that stood beside it.
The elecric light of the drug store op-
posite burns all night and the fellow
must have been a cool one, as he could
easily be seen from the street, had any
one been about. He rang up "35 cents"
in the money drawer and took out $3.50
in small coins, just half of what was
there. 1t is Mr. Whiteley's habit to leave
S in silver for change in the drawer
every night, but the fellow divided with
the mayor, who, by virtue of his Office, is
ex-officio head of the Bou'de police.
He took two revolvers, rifle, eight or
ten dozen pocket knives, three dozen
razors and the silver. Evidently he got
out hurriedly as several knives were
dropped on the floor toward the rear.
