Happy Domestic Life Of Russia's Grand Ole

Tolstol came into possession of the
property there was a fine residence
upon it, but he had made up his mind
to lead a single life. and he sold the
house to a neighbor, who tore it down
and removed the material to another
estate Shortly afterward Tolstoi met
Sophia Behrs, the woman who drove all
notion of a ceIibate life from his mind
She was the young daughter If a Mos
COW physician, and Tolstoi was so inn
pressed with her domesticity and good
sense that he abandoned his oft repeat
ed determination to remain bachelor
to the end Of his days and began to pay
her the most devoted attention. His
suit was not altogether successful at
first The gentle and prudent Sophia
admitted that she felt more than a
passing interest in the count. but
strange tales of his early Irregularities
and later erratic conduct had come to
her, and she confessed that she lacked
the courage to make the venture
1t took Tolstoi two years to convince
her At the end of that period they
were married and went Immediately to
Yasnaya POlyana and began to bring
/ order out Of the chaos which reigned
there. They built a comfortable but
plain house, and there the first seven
/ teen years Of their married life were
spent. At the close of that period they
removed to Moscow and lived in a house
which the count had built. It is a low.
two story dwelling in the midst Of a
garden in the suburbs. The house is OF
brick plastered o. the outside in the
Russian style and incIosed by a brick
wall 1even feet in height. 1t is homely
enough, but extremely comfortable, and
in 1t Tolstoi wrote many Of his most
popular stories
Nowadays the Tolstois live most Of
the time at Yasnaya Polyana. The
original house has been provided witt
so many additions that it has become
quite an imposing structure. The at
mosphere of Moscow became so hatef1
to the count that ne vowed he would re
tire to the country and never again Sc
foot in the abominable town. ALTHOUGH
the countess is fond 81 Moscow. -,

ToIstoi would have carried his cam
munistfc doctrines to the extreme limit
Of personal application and would have
been penni1ess today. Tor years she
has had complete control ct the pub
fishing and sale of her husbands books.
and she has shown a capacity for the
work that has won the approval and
admiration of the book trade.
No member of Tolstois family is an
active disciple Of his radical propagan-
da. The countess has nsver protested
to agree with him IN his opinions on re-
ligious and social matters, but she new
er attempts to dissuade him or modify
his expressions, no matter how violent
they SEEM The sons are equally pru-
dent, but they let it be known that they
do not stand by the things their father
has written as his message to the world
Tolstoi has always shown great affec-
ton for his daughters, the youngest OF
whom, Maria. has assisted him in his
work. He declares. however, that he
has never been able to convert her to
his way Of thinking. She declines
laughingly to commit herself.
It is in this atmosphere Of domesticity
and loving appreciation that the aged
seer and teacher of a new evangel is
ending his days. His tendency to re-
lapse into communistic simplicity is re-
garded with profound respect At his
place at the family table a pewter mug.
plate and spoon are placed, because he
believes it to be wrong to use silver.
His living rooms are bare except for the
books which fill them. No one looks
askant at his coarse peasants garb and
patched hobnan shoes His shapeless
gray felt hat is treated with as much
consideration as if II were fresh from
the bazaar. and his rude walking stick
is the object of special consideration.
II he is seized with an inspiration to
spend some days in mud hut his de-
sire is not combated, but his self infiict-
ed humiliation is made as endurable az
possible. All his departures from con-
ventionaIity are humored lovingly. and
ali Of his idiosyncrasies are held sacred

DUKE FILES SUIT.
Institutes Action for Divorce From
His Wife of a Few Months.

New York, June S.-Papers in an ac-
ton for absolute divorce brought by
Brodie L. Duke, were served on Mrs.
Alice Webb Duke, whose marriage to
Mr. Duke in December last, was the
beginning of sensational litigation. At
the same time it became known that
proceedings pending against Mr.. Duke
in this county, the object of which We're
to have him declared incompetent to
manage his affairs have been abandon
ed by q member of his family at whose
instigation the suit was begun. His
property, however, is now held by trus-
tees.
Mrs. Alice Webb was married to Bro
die L. Duke in this city on December
10, 1904. AS soon as the family heard
of the marriage they secured an order
from the supreme court in this county
by which Brodie L. Duke was commit
ted, pending an inquiry as to his sani-
ty. He was confined in sanitarium
several days without being in commune
cation with any one.
When Duke was arrested the whole
story came out and furnished one Of
the sensations of the year. Duke final
ly was released from the sanitarium by
direction of the court. The suit for di-
vorce brought by Duke is based upon
statutory grounds.
