Tolstoi's Poverty.

Tolstoi's plea to be saved from beg.
ging letter-writers on the ground that
he is a poor man, will came as a
surprise to the public. The sage Of
Yasnaya Polyana has raised himself
SO high above the general human
level In most things that 1t is a
shock to feel that he has not raised
himself above want. His estate, it
would appear. he had transferred 20
years ago to his heirs, displaying
therein a consciousness of his own
business limitations which is at vari-
ance with his revolutionary economic
views. Still, there are his writings.
When ordinary American novelists
live in Italian palaces, surely so vast
ly popular a writer as Tolstoi, lead
ing so simple life, ought not to be
IN want of ready change for purposes
OF charity. But 1t must be remem-
bered, says the New York Post, that
Tolstoi has refused to avail himself of
the protection Of the copyright law,
and that whatever income he derives
from his books comes probably in the
form Of gratuities from conscientious
publishers. And we fear that the
mere cost Of entertaining American
and English visitors who make pill
grimages to Tolstoi and write about
them in the magazines and Sunday
supplements, would be drain on any
private exchequer.

Then she went to town and there

the words engraved. Day of Thanks

home. and on the way made Indian
Jack promise that he would not say
where they had been.
When she rang the bell for her
father to come in he stood speech

hastily. Whom have you asked to
come to dinner with us?"
Katy pretended to be busy taking
something out of the mysterious
package that Indian Jack had brought
in some days earlier. Suddenly she
s:id: why. here is letter from
grandma, addressed to you. dad.
And say, dad, Just see what grand
ma has sent to you! Don't you know
how you used to say that, when you
were q boy, you used to 60 to grand
mas pantry and find an earthen-jar
full of sugar cookies that she had
made, and how you used to hook
some Of them to carry away to your
baby brother?"
Hush. Katy; no more of him. He

don't you remember what you said
grandmother told you one time, after
you had stolen the cookies and she
found out that you did not eat them,
but gave them to your baby brother
I shall look to you to care for

Katy" cried her father, 81 see it
all now. Was this what made you
leave the school, where you were SO
happy?"
Katy nodded, breathless.
Well" said her father, IF you did
that you deserve a reward, but let
Billy come to me-"
Katy went to the door and called
Uncle Billy"
From the creek below Uncle Billy
came toward the house. His face was
little red, but it was not more red
than her fathers.
She slipped out of the house to let
them meet when no one was by. She
made pretense Of being busy out
side. When she came back to the
cabin she saw the two brothers sit
ting on wooden bench, each with
an arm about the other and lovelight
in their eyes,.
What dinner that was! There
never was such a turkey before. And
as for a housewife, Tom said there
never was one like Katy, except her
mother before her.
When the turkey had been attended
to and the other delicacies, also, Katy
said: why, dad, here is your letter
from grandma. Did you read it,"
Yes, Katy; but 1t will stand read
Ing again. Read it aloud to Billy"
my dear Tom and Billy" SO read
the letter. Il am happy to-day to
think how blessed you are in the love
Of one another. I send you jar of
sugar cookies-such as mother used
to make to help out"
Our love for one another-that is
Just it." said Tom. "'It Is like mes
sage that we both needed
Just the thing" agreed Billy,
reaching out his hand.
Then there was call for the sugar
cookies and they were produced-jar
and ADJUST like the old times; in
fact, the old jar.

pages-there were many Of them-a
twenty-dollar bill rustled out On it
was pinned slip Of paper with the
words, For Katy"
A sudden light came into her eyes.
She called her father and told him
that she wished to ride to the town
at once and wished Indian Jack to go

was soon under way. galloping over
the trails with speed.

THINK MEMORIAL DAY
NOT PROPERLY OBSERVED

Roosevelt camp No. 8, United Spanish
War Veterans, believe Memorial day is
degenerating into an occasion for mere
frivolous amusement. In order to gene
rate sentiment for the proper observ-
ance of the day the camp has passed
the following resolutions:
Whereas, The true purpose and intent
Of Memorial day seems to be largely
misconstrued, and the day is being de-
voted to picnics, pleasure and recrea-
tion, thus impairing it's inspiring in
fluence for lofty patriotism and high
ideals,
Be it resolved. That we call upon all
societies, organized bodies and all loyal
citizens to use every earnest effort to
impress upon the public the real pur-
pose for which this day is set apart in
order that we may all join with patrio-
tic fervor in showing our high regard
for the service of those heroes of our
country, who, though not here in life,
influenced us by their worthy example
to love of country. Let not their brave
services be forgotten upon this day, so
especially set aside to decorate the hon
ored graves wherein their ashes rest;
but let us bring to our recollection their
valiant deeds, and as we keep their
graves green and decorated with flowers
may we also truly venerate and respect
Memorial day by remembering the dead
heroes.
Resolved, That a copy of these reso-
lutions be furnished the press for pub
lication and the various organized So
cieties of this city.
