A YOUNG ToLsToYAN.

VIENNA, Jan. ia remarkable H.
lustration OF the influence of Tolstois
teaching has come to light in the case
of DR.. Geza Baer, a graduate in phil.
osophy OF the University of Budapest.
his young man, on leaving the uni
Iersity, obtained a state travelling
scholarship. and devoted himself to
the study of social questions. taking
1Olstoi as mis- master. He became a
vegetarian, .iuUpted sandals in sum
mer and winter alike, did his own
housewurh, and preached his masters
doctrines to the Roumanian popula-
ton OF Bekes-Csaba with such ardor
that the authorities finally requested
hlm TO remove to another scene OF ac.
tiyity. Dr. Baer, alter refusing a post
as librarian TO the hungarian Cham
ber, accepted humble position as
c,erk in the state railways. A few
days ago the young clerk was promot-
ed. when, TO the amazement of his
superiors. he refused, urging that the
smaiier salary was ample for his
wants. such extraordinary modesty
was taken as a symptom OF overwork,
and he was urged to take a holiday.
This was more than the disciple Oh
signed. announcing his intention to
live hencelorth by manual labor. He
has kept his word and is now ap-
prenticed to a Bekes-Csaba schoemaK-
er.

RAILROAD PASSES SCARCE
SINCE THE NEW YEAR.
Denver Republican.

Denver Republican,
Through the big iron gates at the
depot, there passes stream of people
every day and all who enter there
show their tickets If they have them.
some have no tickets. They travel
on passes. Before the first of the
Jear, dozens who came to the gate
every day showed passes and the gate
man nodded and passed them in. Now
there is different tale to tell.
The number OF passes grows beau
tifully less" said the man dt the gate
yesterday when the Sunday luli in
business permitted him 10 catch a
ong breath and gossip of the happen
ngs OF the depot.
Before the first of the year we had
dozens of passes every day When a
stockman came to town he had an an
nual pass. All the mining men had
passes and the railroad men without
number, both here and all along the
zines. had passes on all the roads.
There were big merchants here in
town who had passes over the lines
running into Denver and there were
politicians OF every kind who were
equipped with them. All the men in
the state house. and all the county and
city officials travelled free and half the
people who were at the head of fra
ternal organizations that might go on
picnic once year and use one of the
railroads were given passes.
Now. since the first o: the year, we
have had few passes flashed at the
gate. The men who formerly travelled
on passes now use a ticket and they
don't feel very good about IL. either.
Did you ever travel on a pass? Well.
If you have not, you don't know how
II feels The man who has a pass
gets more favors than anyone who
pays. | remember once l had a good
friend in the Pullman service and ue
got me pass to st. Joseph, Mo. Say,
you should have seen the colored por-
Lers step around when | showed that
pass. They thought | must be about
the best friend the president of tho
Pullman company had or | would new
er have been able to get the pass
When a man has travelled on a pass
and telt his Importance once. he never
likes to quit. For that reason | hear
there is great deal OF complaint
among those who under the rules were
denied passes the hrst OF the new
year."

Moors, but this one, which was rebuilt

worship by Alb du-Rhaman |. and his
SUCCESSORS of the same name and title.
Six hundred years later. when the Sar-
acens were driven from Spain. it was
occupied by the Christians, who re-
moved several hundred OF the pillars

defacing the beauty OF the building.
The people protested and threatened
to hang the bishop and others who
were concernH In the vandalism. and
when Charles ". who had allowed
these changes TO be made. came to
Cordova in 1921 he was very angry and
