Larkin Mason's Report.

The Hon. Larkin d. Mason of Tam
worth. N H, was judge of probate
for his county, and very prominent
man in politics in his day. His son
came home on furlough from the army
during the civil war, and brought the
army itch, and the whole family took
it
the neighboring town of Meredith,
who left some medicine to be taken ac-
cording to directions. The doctor told
Mr. Mason that he wanted to hear
from HIM in a few days.
Mr.. Mason reported as follows: I'VE
have used the medicine internally and
externally, the disease still RACES in
formally, and it looks to me as though
II would last eternally."

of the cottages.

The sloping vineyards along Ontario
were lightly yelled in the mists of
Indian summer. In the air was that
dangerous warmth that steals into
the veins and lulls the brain to dreams
and Renaissance. The giant cataract
could be heard family, drowsy, dis
tant hum of monotony-a sound that
seemed to pervade everything and
reach the bewildered brain, strangely
associated with the heavy odor of
grapes, full ripe; the rich clusters
hanging everywhere, SO harmonized
with the amethystine haze in which
the whole scene was bathed, that the
mind was some way dulled to exter
nails, like muffled drum, and, yield
ing to the soothing enchantment of
all about it, yet failed to distinguish
clearly between sound and smell and
sight.
1t is only by some such psychology

that an explanation can be found for
the startling fact that Fanchette. go

And such a kiss A group of gay
young girls turned at the sound, only
to see the demure Fanchette, blushing
to be sure, but smiling in serene I'M
consciousness of the fact that it was
Ponpon who had slipped up behind her
and tipped her chin back, as Antoine
sometimes did, when he was not too
serious. An old man gathering sticks
raised himself at the sound, only to

road. A little bird heard the sound
and burst into joyous song. A tall
girl, with eyes like blackberries, COM

performance, and her heart leaped ex-
ultantly.

Ponpon was not prepared for this,
as he had no idea anyone had seen

Antoine was silent and his companion

Barbarity of Russian Surgeons.

This incident of the late war in the
east is told by Russian soldier:
after each battle the sanitaries
would mark with red paint those
wounded who were to be taken away
for treatment and with black paint
those apparently hopelessly wounded,
who were to be left on the field and
buried with the dead. 1 myself was
lying on the ground when a hand
touched me and then proceeded to-
fetch the black paint. l fully realized
my fate and said to the officer: But
1 am alive and may recover. How can
you act like this?' Have you money!
he then asked. Yes replied.
How much?' Ten rubles' ($51).
Give them to me- He just managed
to put the money in his pocket and
was stretching out his hand for the
red paint, when tra-a-akh tra-a-akh-

Then 1 thought. why should l lose

AS HETTY GREEN TOLD STORY.
She Had Not High Opinion of Hon.
Joseph Choate.


When the Hoyt will case was on
trial in New York the Hon. Joseph H
Choate, as everybody knows, was one
of the great lawyers engaged in it.
Among the witnesses on the side
Mr. Choate was opposing was Mrs
Hetty Green. 1t was a field day when
she took the witness stand. The OBJ
ject was to find out from her what
had passed between her and Irene
Hoyt at a certain conversation respect
ing the bringing of the suit. Mr..
Choate vehemently objected to this
conversation being given by Mrs
Green and fought viciously to keep
her from telling what had passed. Dur
ing the whole wrangle she sat grimly
in the witness box, her shabby old
bonnet askew, while she clutched her
rusty handbag. At last after a tough
fight. the Court stated that the ques-
ton might be asked of Mrs. Green in
this form:
What passed between you and
Miss Hoyt relative to the bringing of
this suit?''
81 object" shouted Mr.. Choate,
noting an exception
And then it was that Mrs. Green
snapped out: Irene Hoyt told me
she meant to bring suit and 1 said to

your pocket you won't have a dollar

True Disciples Of Tolstoi

Especial Correspondence

The fact is that the colonists are
nearly all from a much higher sta
ton in life and better educated than
their neighbors. One is the son of a
baronet who sacrificed his material
prospects in life for the sake of liv-
ing in accordance with the principles
in which he believed.
Another was the manager of pros
porous bank in Scotland, and third
was a large farmer in the south of
England. There is a sprinkling of

there is a retired sailor. whose skill

Cotswold hills in Worcestershire is a
little colony of practical followers of
Count Tolstoi, people who believe that
it is wrong to live in any way by the
labor of others. Unable to carry their
faith into practise in the outside
world, they have settled in this re-
mote corner of England to extract
their living from an inhospitable sol.
by the labor of their own hands,
One must not suppose, however.
that this is a colony of wild eyed
anarchists or dangerous enemies of
government. 1t is true that they OBJ
jected at first to paying taxes to a
government which they declared gave
them nothing in return, and one or
two men actually carried their pas
sive resistance to the extent of going
to jail for their principles. but even
the country people round about to-
day are forced to admit that they are
good neighbors, pay their debts and
bother no one-this in spite of the
active opposition of squire and par
son. who regard them as dangerous
enemies of church and state.
The little colony, which IS known
as Whiteway, is situated about the
center of a triangle the angles of
which are formed by the towns of
Gloucester, Cirencester and Stroud.
1t is approached by mountainous
roads and lies about seven miles from
Stroud, which is the nearest railway
station.
The land owned by the colony
stretches along the side of hill and
comprises about sixteen acres. The
tract was left to a set of trustees
headed by Aylmer Maude. the well
known English disciple of Tolstoi, by
a farmer of the neighborhood who had
become a convert to the theories of
the Russian philosopher.
All CoIonists Welcomed.
The land, of course, so far as it's
legal aspect is concerned, is held alb
solutely by the trustees, but any one
who is willing to work on it and live
in harmony with the colonists is well
come to settle on an acre and cult
vate it. He may do so free of all
charge. but he must not attempt to
acquire any title to it. and as soon as
he ceases to cultivate it with his own
hands all his interest in it ceases.
There are at present about a dozen
families in the colony and there are
a couple of acre plots vacant, but it
is expected that they will soon be
taken up. They were rendered vacant
by the efforts of the persons who had
taken them up to secure absolute
ownership in them.
Apart from their peculiar views as
to ownership in land and the immo-
rality of living by the labor of others,
the colonists are perfectly normal
people. Living. as they do, an open
air life. they have adopted some re-
forms in dress, but these are not the
result of any fixed belief; rather they
are the result of an effort to find the
clothing most suitable to the condi-
tions under which they live.
The women as a rule wear an outer
garment of the flowing Grecian type,
and the men knickerbockers and soft
cotton or wool shirts, open at the
neck. In the height of summer they
sometimes dispense with the shirt
while working in the fields
Both men and women go barefooted,
partly from preference and partly be-
cause shoes are an expensive luxury
to persons living from the product of
an acre of rather unproductive soil.
