The Tolstoys and Toilstoyism.

Count Sergius Tolstoy, brother of the
eccentric Count Lyof Tolstoy, who lives
in kind Of ostentatious state Of self
denial on his big estate at Yasna Pol
yana, is dead. Count Sergius entertained
nosuch self -sacridcial reformatory views
as his brother, Lyof Nikolaivitch, but
may be cassed among the Russian syb-
arites, a sort Of incarnation Of self-in-
diligence.
The Sage Of Yasna Polyana has met
with little sympathy from his family so
far as his sacrifcial views are con-
cerned. One of his daughters holds to
her father 8 views, and tries to follow
them within the luxurious surroundings
Of the Tolstoy estate, and assists the
philosopher in his literary work, and in
the exploitation of his homespun theo
ries.
His sons are not in sympathy with the
count. One of them has just gone with
the reserves to the front in Manchuria,
and his brother, who went to see him
off, has ventilated his enthusiasm for
war in heliocentric article in the No
voc Vremya, arguing the necessity for
Russia to put forth her whole strength,
military and naval, to carry on the work
Of expansion begun by Peter the Great,
the position being taken that Russia "is
the only power destined to realize the
dream of world-conquest, and to become
instead Of England, the greatest nation
of tho world.'

THE MAGAZINE SAMPLER

Russians Began War With insignificant
Force.-Thomas F. Willard, who has been
correspondent in four wars and is now
with the Russian army in the far east
estimates in an article in ScrIbner's for
October, that the Russian free fighting
force in Manchuria at the opening of the
war was only 100000 men-that is, there
were that many over and above the men
needed at Port Arthur, Vladivostok and
along the railway as guards. He sets
that down as one of the chief reasons
why Kuropatkin has failed'-his in
sufficient fighting force. despite the fact
that the Russian army has been greatly
added to since the war opened. Other
handicaps for the general he gives as a
strategically difficult position and lack
Of support in high quarters. Describing
the battle of Wa-feng goa. Mr.. Millard

More complications are in the air over
the appointive offices to be filled in case
Dunn is elected. For instance, there is
the position of dairy and food commits
sioner. w. w. p. Mcconnell, the present
commissioner, leaned toward Dunn in the
re-convention contest, and hopes for
reappointment in the event of republican
success. However, it is understood that
in the Dunn Heatwole slate this position
was one turned over to Mr.. Heatwole to
fill, and that he had picked out one Of
his friends from the third district. The
break between Heatwole and Dunn Is
supposed to upset this arrangement and
throw the place open.
Minneapolis has a candidate in John
Powell, president of the local ASSOCIATE ton
of retail grocers, while st. Paul has a
candidate for assistant commissioner,
A. j. Ries, who happens to be president
of the St. Paul association. Their as
pirations naturally conflict, for both places
can hardly be filled from the twin cities.
George L. Dingman. the present assis-
tant, is to go, as he was Collins man
before the convention. The ST. Paul men
claim to have promise for Ries, and
have urged Minneapolis to withdraw Pow
| ell in the interests of harmony. This the
| local men refuse to do, and the compli-
cations in grocery trade circles are on
| the increase. There is a general fee.s
| thdt II is 100 lale LOT CalltlludLsS " ue1'
tie, and that places are all parceled out
by this time.
Then there is the post of labor commits
sioner. The many friends of John O'Don.
nell, the present commissioner, are 60
ing to insist on his retention, altho he
was a Collins mar, because of his excel
lent record. However, st. Paul labor cir
cles are stirred by four candidates. ant
the sanity city is bound to land the po
sition this time. Cornelium Quincy is al
avowed candidate, and so is E. B. Lott
now subordinate in the labor bureau
William Templeman, president Of th'
Trades and Labor assembly, and A. Fl
/ Garfield, vice president, are also credited
with ambitions. .. ..-......s

famous London photographer to take
her picture. 1t was the second such COM
mission he had received from Amster-

plates had been developed Wilhelmina
said delightedly: 'Why, this is much
better picture of me than you took be-

majesty has now a more. cheerful express

The Philosophy Of It.

The boll-weevil in the south; rust
in the north. The cotton crop is
threatened by the one and the wheat
crop is seriously damaged by the other.
The destroying weevil and the blighting
rust seem to be unmitigated evils. 1t
will be a long time before the man
who must give up cotton raising on
account Of the invading weevil from
Mexico will call that same weevil
blessed. Imagine a farmer of the Red
river valley singing the praises Of the
formidable little parasite that has
turned his twenty bushels to the acre
into what might be figured out as about
minus Ave bushels to the acre.
Yet there is plausible argument that

by the attorney general against the

but the state legal representative sets
aside that settlement as unauthorized
and invalid. In making. it Mr.. Dunn
disregarded the law, and let his friend
