ToLsToYs EXPERIENCE IN WAR.

Ii is interesting in connection With
the present war to find in Prince kro-
potkin's "Russian Literature,' an ac
count of Tolstoy's youthful military
prt wess. He lived through all the
dreadful experiences of the defenders
Of SebastOpOl He has the
right TO speak OF war; he knows it
from Within" Kropotkin points ont
The pertinent facts that TolStoy "Gb-
stinately refused during the siege to
become an officer of the staff, and re-
rla ned with his battery in the most
dangerous spots" and that, though he
seems never again to have written
verse. he at that time composed, in
the unusual metre language of sol
diers' songs, satirical song in which
he described the blunders of the COM
manders which ended in the Balak-
lava disaster The song, written in
an admira BILE popular style, could not
ue printed, Dul IL SpIedu over RuS5id
in thousands of copies, and was wide
ly sung both during and Immediately
after the campaign. The name of the
author leaked out, but there was some
uncertainty as to whether it was the
author of the Sebastopol sketches or
some other Tolstoy" And now Tol-
stoy's son is taking part in the new
war. The fathers attitude is reflected
in a letter written recently by Nine.
Tolstoy to friend: 'Some imagine
that the pepole are regarding war and
death with wisdom and equanimity.
This is not correct. am living in
the country ! have seen a son of my
own off to war. / have experienced
and seen these partings with heart
rending grief, and never have | wit
messed aught else than tears, sorrow
and condemning of the cause for
which the men were being sent away.
] know of only a very few exceptions,
and those not among the people but
the educated younger genration.'
TclstOy's doctrine is briefly, according
to Kropotkin's book: Don't resist
evil by violence"

HAY AS VARSITY HERO.
CIassmate of Present Secretary of
State Relates Hazing Incident.

John Hay, secretary of state, now en-
route for Europe to recover lost health,
once played an important part in a
smoking OUT at Brown college-the
time, 1856. says the Chicago Post.
The forms of hazing in the national
colleges then were somewhat different
than those of today, but the to-be-fam-
Gus secretary played picturesque. and
heroic part in the incident to which
refer, and of which he commented, in
reply to a letter of inquiry of mine, in
the following manner:
Il remember nothing Of my heroic
conduct in the Gordon case. But my
recollection of everything in those far
off days is dim, and heroism was my
daily habit. I couldn't sleep nights II
l hadn't saved somebody's life. Now /
only save a nation new and then. Yours
truly, JOHN HA y
It was a night in September of 1856.
and all through the upper stories OF
Brown University hall many were stir
ring some quantity or hideously cos
tuned and disguised, others, as was
the writer, being present only as what
are called nowadays ''rOoters," in the
performance about to take place.
Samuel Duncan and his roommate
Adoniram J. Gordon, then only promis-
ing freshmen, but destined to become
distinguished preachers in the Baptist
church, were the victims selected for
the sophomore visitation.
IN the dead vast and middle of the
night a resounding rap upon their door
was the first intimation they received
of the honor about to be conferred upon
them. For a time a parley was carried
on between the inmates and the out
mates of room No. q. but a forcible en-
try being threatened the unreasonable
callers were very reluctantly admitted,
finding their hosts not in costume de
rigueur. but in plain robes de mutt
Each of the distinguished visitors,
some six in all had a small flower pot
in the bottom of which were live Goals,
and on top of them, and filling each pot,
were scrapings from the floor of some
Providence cigar factory.
Stretching themselves upon the floor,
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-04-22

in position that outlined the spokes of
wheel, with the doWer-pot pipes-a
long red stem inserted near the bottom
of each grouped in the center like a
hub. they proceeded to blow up into the
room clouds of odoriferous and nauseat-
ing smoke that soon told upon the
stomachs of the embryo preachers. The
only pure air in the room was the STRAIT
UNI next to the floor where the smokers
lay.
Ernest B. Gordon, in his biography of
his father, writes thus of that scene:
! Gordon when a freshman of but two
weeks standing was visited in his room,
smoked out and imperiOuSly ordered by
his visitors to mount the table and
preach a sermon. The newcomers re-
sources in that line had not been sus-
pected. With admirabl appropriateness
he chose as his text, A certain man
went down from Jerusalem to Jericho
and fell among thieves
Never was a more pointed discourse
delivered. The listeners taking umbrage
rushed like the wild beasts at Ephesus
upon the preacher, upset the table upon
which he stood, and would have treated
him badly indeed, If his Christianity
had not passed forthwith from the
didactic to the muscular phase and with
excellent results. He Sprang at the
ringleader, tore his coat in halves, and
with the efficient cooperation of John
Hay, who just then appeared on the
scene, routed the intruders from the
premises.
Having no recollection of any such
chivalric deed on the part of my class
mate, Hay, who was near me in the
hall outside of room No. q most of
! that night, wrote to him and inquired
regarding this alleged display of hero
ism. He replied as I have quoted.
If the intruders were indeed routed
| from the premises, they carried the
'srooters'' with them, for I bear a large
and distinctly visible scar upon my
