The earlier reformers had regarded
the Russian p%easantry as so much wall
liable raw material. which would dis
play all its true value when imprer-
mated With revolutionary. moral and
political ideas. says Il writer in the Re-
view of Reviews. 1olstoi never, had
anything to do with revolution: and in
morals he found Il better standard
among the peasants than anywhere
else. He was convinced tht culture had
nothing to do with morality, and he
became therefore Il pupil rather than
Il master in the great peasant school.
1t is plainly that which differentiates
Tolstoi from the hundreds of other edu-
Gated Russians who devote their lives
to the people and earn liz return moth
ing better than the reputation of "char-
acters." and the benevolent contempt
of peasants who do not understand
them and whom they do not under
stand. But Tolstoi found not only his
ethical but also his aesthetic doctrines
realized among the people. The COM
mon life. he says. is not only the basis
of all true morals, but of all true art.
What cannot he understood by the sim
plest. he argues again and again, is not
true art. Art requires no comment
airy: it is infective in its nature; and if
it is not. it is not true art. 1t is a
.'meahs of communion "a condition of
human life"

Durand, Of Sidney, near Binghamton,
n. Y. Miss Durand was a student of
the Sidney High School and captain OF
che first basket ball team. While prac-
Using for an important match she made
a desperate attempt to win a goal. The
whole opposing team threw themselves
on her and she was badly hurt.
She tried to go ON playing, but was
unable to do so. She had to be carried
home, and there the doctors found that
she had suffered severe internal in.
juries. In spite of every attention she
sank rapidly and died. She was a
strong, healthy girl.
This tragic occurrence is likely to give
a sever blow to basket bail. which was
introduced as a substitute for football
among girls at college and school. 1t is
supposed to have all the exciting fea-
lures of football without the dangerous
ones.
The game is played by five on a side.
Tackling below the waist is not allow
ed. Whenever n player is held she
passes the ball to some one else on her
w side. The goal is made by pitching
the ball into a basks. high above the

been placed very seriously in doubt.
Perilous Maii Routc.

The strange happenings ON the Be-
wick free delivery route still continue,
and the carriers; are becoming much
worried.
Three of them who drive the wagon
from Berwick to various points in the
country round have had thrilling expe-
riences. and the last is the worst of
the lot. A couple of weeks ago a large
catamount sprang from a tree at Car
rier John Jacoby's horse and seized Its
head. The horse shook the animal off
and dashed down the mountain to Ber-
wick, Jacoby having all he could do
to cling to the wagon and trust to
luck.
A short time later Carrier John Tres
sler's horse stopped short and SHE'D
into the bush. Tressler saw an enor-
nous snake in the road, which he lie
scribed as being as thick as a mans
leg. 1t disappeared in the brush, and
is supposed to be a python which es-
capped from u circus at Berwick q wear
age.
Carrier o. Z. Evans noticed that
While passing Martzvllle cemetery, in
Briar Creek township, his horse acted
in a peculiar manner and bolted. This
occurred twice before Evans saw the
cause of it. and then the other night lie
beheld a terrifying white object rise
at the cemetery fence and wave its
arms. He let the horse bolt. and now
takes a circuitous route. He says he
does not believe in ghosts. and thinks
the apparition is some joker with n
sheet. but he is not going to take any
chances.
The carriers are demoralized by these
occurrences. and each is now armed

No n takes more interest in this

ess has absolute control over her hus-
band. and that he obeys her as a child
would an elder person. Her influence
on him has been wonderful, and he
has now settled down to a quiet domes-
tic life. Occasionally the old desire to

give a good account Of himself. which
he never fails to do.

STATE CONTROL RESENTED
A Report That President Roosevelt Will
Recommend Congress to Take Action
Along Certain Lines for the Re-
clamation of the Arid Lands.

Los Angeles, Nov. 1e.-The executive
committee of the Southern California
section of the National Irrigation as
sociation formulated a telegram of pro-
tests which has been sent to President
Roosevelt. The telegram calls the at
tention of the president to a report
from Washington to the effect that he
would recommend to congress line Of
action for the reclamation of arid lands
which will have the effect of intrust lg
to states, instead of to agents of the
federal government, the systematic
development of plans for irrigation
works. The committee represents that
such policy would be a death blow to
the national irrigation movement and
to the era of e-building on the
public domain. The telegram also calls
the presidents attention to his letter
|of November 16, 1900, to the national
irrigation congress at Chicago, in
which it Is said the "crytallized senti-
ment dominating that convention was
that the reclamation of arid lands
must be kept absolutely within the
control of the national government"

Two Elevated Trains Oollided on Account
of the Fog and One Person Was Killed
and Twelve Injured Other Col

Chicago, Nov. 19.-Dense fog caused
numerous accidents here early today
In &. collision between two Metropoli-
tan elevated rains, one person was
killed and nvelve irlsured Other col
lisions were reported on the elevated
roads, but in these none were seriously
injured
People standing on the sidewalks
could scarcely see a passing vehlcle
and street cars kept their gongs clang-
ing constantly. The Metropolitan ele-
waited collision was between a train
carrying factory workers and an ex-
press train.
Killed-Thomas Meaney, IS years Of
age, standing on rear platform of the
factory train, crushed to death.
Injured-Fred Jones, cut about the
head and body and legs broken; VIM.
Upton, IS, internally injured; Chas.
Gallagher, II, foot crushed; Howard
Canoutig, toes crushed Harry Two
hey, internal injuries; Adolph Gold
berg, toes crushed and knee fractured
Fred S. Islip, left arm and leg broken;
A. E. Baumgart badly cut and bruis-
ed; Louis Davis, injured internally
Fred Schweil, foot crushed; Peter An
derson, cut and bruised.
The factory train was waiting on the
Adams street curve for the signal to
proceed when the express train hit it,.

jured internally, fatal; Harold Soder-
burg, serious internal injuries; Frank
Mum, motorman, badly cut; Anna
Carr, hand crushed; j. w. Cheney

The accident on the Lake street ele-
waited was almost exactly similar to
that of the Metropolitan. A rear end
collision between Lake Shore and a
Rock Island suburban train occurred
at 33d street, but no one was injured.
The train of which Otto Leinhart
was conductor, was overtaken on the
Metropolitan road by another train.
Leinhart heroically staid on the rear
platform, frantically waving a signal
to the train, and was crushed to death.
In all there were nine collisions on the
elevated structures.
