Tolstoi In His Home.

From My Life-So Far" by the late
 Josiah Flynt in Success Magazine.
 By all odds the most interesting na- tional feature that Russia allowed me to see was Count Tolstoi. And yet I had never read any of Tolstoi's novels before meeting him, and my notions of his altruism were vague, indeed-about what the ideas are of people who nave never been in Russia or seen Tolstol, and who, on learning that you have been there and met him. ask immedi- ately: Say on the level, is he faldr or not?"
 Once and for all, so far as my simple intercourse with him is concerned, It may be most boldly declared that he never was a fakir-no more of one when he was sampllng all the vices he could hear of, than he is now in urging others not to follow his example as an explorer of Vicedom.
 The man at Yasnaya Polyana, In 1890, was a fairly preserved old gentle man, with white beard, sunken gray eyes, overhanging bushy eyebrows, and a slight stoop in the shoulders, which were carrying, I think, pretty close to 70 years of age.
 The place looked neglected and un- kempt in many respects, but the two remaining wings of the old mansion were roomy and comfortable. Eight children of the original sixteen were living at the time of my visit, ranging in from 30 and over to IA. The count ess was the "boss" of the establish ment in and out of the house. What she said of a morning constituted the law for the day, so far as work was concerned. She had assistants, and think superintendent, to help her, but she was the final authority in matters of management.
 The count did not appear to take any active part in the direction of affairs He spent his time writing. riding, walk. ing, and visiting with the guests, of whom there were goodly number. At one time he may have worked in the fields with the peasants, but in July of 1896 he did not. share any of their toll at least I personally did not see him at work among them.

R. NJ. Ingram, treasurer of the Parker Memorial church, this morning forwarded a check for s195 to the Christian Herald to be used for the relief of the famine sufferers in China, which, including the $2O0 sent by Mir Kaplan yesterday, makes $396 already sent from the Model City.
 Theare will be a collection taken at the First Presbyterian Sunday school and church tomorrow morning. and the Rev J. D. Simpson of the First Methodist church says he will likely take a col lection for the same purpose and other churches in the city will probably do like wise. The total amount raised for the sufferers will probably exceed $500
 Loftin Released.
 C. NJ. Ioftin, who was recently arrested in Birmingham and returned to this city on a charge of obtaining goods under false pretenses, was released today, charges against him having been compro- missed by his brother paying his obliga- tions.
 Fred Bennett was discharged by Judge Crook in county court this afternoon on the state charge pending against him there, and to answer to which he had been held under bond for several days. The court took this action on the ground that Bennett had already been punished for his offense in police court.

"The Passion of Christ

is q hand-colored film three times the ordinary length and has just been ini- ported from the great artist Paine III France. This picture is q masterpiece of art a poem in colors and the epic or the century It embraces the childhood, the miracles, life and death of Christ, as dedueed from the studies of Tissot who for thirty years was identified as no other man in Palestine.
 This picture Is the original production of the marvel of film makers and must not be confounded with the "Passlon Play of Ober-Ammergau." It is worth many times our price of admission, and you should not fall to witness this rare exhl- bition, which has never before been shown in the south. You cannot afford to miss It.

HARp-LUcK STORIES.
Four Aces Were No Good In West Vir-
 gina Poker Game.

From the Philadelphia North American. There never was a poker player who has not had hard luck" at some time or other in his experience, but the story to by Col Jim Butcher ot Hatclffe, W. Va, who was guest at the Bellevue Stratford last evening, seems to eclipse them all.
 q was up in the West Virginia Moun- tains a couple of weeks ago looking after some timber and coal lands and entered into a friendly little game with a party of mountaineers,' said he. "If these people get suspicious of you, they do not always wait to have their suepicions verified
 Tt came my turn to deal, and when looked at my hand I found I had given myself four aces. Of course, I quietly raked in the pot As I laid down my hand I noticed queer look come over the faces of my opponents. Understand, l was a stranger in that locality.
 By and by it came my turn to deal again. l shuffled the cards awkwardly grew nervous and seemed to feel that the crisis was approaching. When looked at my own hand 1 found I had dealt myself four aces.
 q jrst looked around the table, sized up my friends and sadly discarded those aces

 ''Did you ever hear how I almost made $150O O00?' inquired Doe" Wogan to his companions sitting around the big stove in Elks Emporium.
 well, a fellow from down near Pawn Grove wanted to sell me 200 acres of land he owned-offered it so blamed cheap that one might think he stole it.
 'I was just aching to get a chance at an easy deal like that, and made plans to buy the land, when Rame Shearer came to me and said:
 If you're going to buy that tract, take my advice and keep off. Why, man, it's slate land. and you can't raise weeds on it.
 Sure, I declared the deal off. But about two years later didn't Baltimore syndicate come along and buy up the dinged old farm at a shamefully high price!
 What did they want it for? Why slate. There is about 100000 tons of the finest building slate in the world underground"
 You have heard of near winners in politics." remarked ' Taylor, but the limit in that line Was Old Man Musser, who spent his two farms trying to get elected county commissioner.
 ''He had an idea that he was a politi- cal wonder and hammered away for six years expecting to land the nomination. Each time he lost the chance by narrow margin.
 At the first election he was just six teen votes short and the next year. when there was a vacancy, he made another try -ro get the nomination he spent about twice what the job was worth, and in his canvass the blamed idiot threw away cash like water. His opponent won by five votes.
 Tt made Musser hot, and he settled down to real hard work. It was shame to nominate him. He plastered the coun- ty with bill posters and hired brass bands. He mortgaged everything he owned, and the best he could do on election day was to make a tie.
 He and the other fellow tossed coin and Musser called heads and lost. Wouldn't have made any difference if it came tails. They'd a counted him out. !"

out. We had one short conversation about the count and his work, during which she delivered herself of these remarks: You will hear many things here that I do not agree with be- lieve 1t is better to be and do than to preach" I judged from these sentl- ments that Tolstoiism as cult had not captured her. But that she thought much of the count as man and hus- band was evident from her solicitous care of him.

The New Game Law.

The approach of the open sea-
son for hunting is evidenced by
the display of guns and ammuni.
ton in the various windows of
stores dealing in sporting goods.
Parties are now being planned
and a general exodus of shooters
from the city is expected on
Thursday of next week, when the
open season for Grouse begins.
The new law provides for the
killing of prairie chicken, pleas
ant, partridge and turtle-dove
from September to December l,
snipe, plover, ducks and geese
from September Is to January /;
quail from November l to De-
cember l..
Elk, deer, mountain goat and
mountain sheep may be killed
from September Is to January l,
but no hunting of any character is
permitted until the necessary Ii
cense has been secured.
Residents of the state of Idaho
are allowed to fish and hunt for
all kinds of game for a license
fee of 81, while non-residents are
compelled to pay 81 to fish, IS
TO hunt birds and S25 to hunt
deer, elk or any large game.
The new law reduces the num-
Der of field birds that any hunter
may kill in one day from eighteen
to twelve, except in the case of
quail, where eighteen birds are al,
lowed. Twenty-four ducks, snipe
and plover may be taken in one
day, and but three geese.
Reports from the country are
to the effect that few grouse and
chickens are to be found in the
fields and the quail are reported
to have been materially decreased
by the extreme cold weather of
last winter.

At the eastern base of Timber
Mountain southwest of Arco,
warmed by the morning sun in
summer as it rises from kissing
the seven peaks of The Grand
Teton hundred miles to the
eastward, lies the Nichols 1rriga-
ton Project.
Favored by location and by ma.
tural wealth of stream and soil,
bordered by winter range on one
side that blends with the spring
and summer range on the other,
the streams have been separated
by transverse ridges from the rich
agricultural lands on the PLAIN be-
low, until missing links were sup
piled to join Sun, and Soil and
Water in "The New Triune," for
growth.
By some freak of nature in the
creation of the world, a great
basin was made in the hills over
looking Era Flat, but the nearest
streams found their outlet to the
plains and wa ted away in the
spring and early summer, and
went dry in July or August, SO
that little use was made of them
until bitches were built to carry
the spring freshets around to the
great basin on the hills, and store
it for use lin the heat of summer.
The promoter, D. W. Nichols,
has been working and experiment
ing for five years, and has now
demonstrated that the waters of
three streams can be conducted to
the basin, that the basin will hold
water and that the volume of
water in the streams is sufficient
to insure an ample supply for use
on the lands designated to be used
in connection with the reservoir.
The final survey has been made,
Joins another stream brot from
Little Chicken Greek, and all of
them poured into the reservoir to-
gether.
