years ago, when he himself declared that his great
creative works were unworthy and altogether evil.
Here is his own account of the split in his life:
Il had tried to test science and modern cul-
ture and have turned from them with feeling
of repulson because of the inability of the first
to solve the really important problems of life
and because of the hollowness and falseness of
the second"
By becoming chummy with the peasant Tolstoi
declares he turned to frankness simplicity and
essential kindness, and he says he is to-day near
er mother earth than ever in his life. He declares
the peasant, typically is the ideal Christian. And
thus since 1876 his writings have been almost ex-
clusively poemic and didactic.
To-day Count Leo Tolstoi is a large, heavily
built man with unusually long arms, hanging
loosely at his sides, with wide nose, somewhat
thick lips, small gray eyes, head set on bulky
but slightly STOPPING shoulders and matted
white beard. He possesses an air of strength
that is found In few great men. The power that
one finds in him is both mental and physical, and
hence of the durable sort.
One of this mans great themes is the Sermon
on the Mount. In this he has declared that
he found five laws of God and he has made them
his rules for faith and conduct throughout the
later years of his life These laws are sum-
married. follows:
Live in peace with all men and do not regard
any man as your superior.
Do not make the beauty of the body an occasion
for lust.
Every should have one wife and every
woman one husband and they should not be di.
vorced for any reason.
Do not revenge yourself and do not punish 9TH
ers because you think yourself insulted hurt.
Suffer all wrong and do not repay with evil for
you are all the children of one father.
Never breakthe peace In the name Of patriotism.

He is now 80 years old and while In good health
at the time or this writing his passing is but
matter of few months or years. There are two
sides to this great man. One is Leo Tolstoi the
artist and the other-Leo Tolstoi the man. AS
the artist he has written fearless works and the
person or clique which has fallen under the scah-
Ing attack of his pen has seldom been known to
boast of it.
There is no disputing his rank as the best known
OF living authors. Also he is the most generally
read and recognized. He has attained the highest
pinnacle of fame in the literary field and it can
not be said that he craved fame either.
Best of all, Tolstoi is friend of all Americans
The traveller from the United States visiting Rus
sta is as welcome at the Yasnaya Polyana estate of
Russias great man, as if he were in his own home
America likes Tolstoi, too for the author is the
most democratic of men.
1t is told of him that he spurns all worldly luxu.
res, even going so far to have two tables set
within his home at each meal-one resplendent
with fancy edibles, while the other is stocked
with simple food of the peasantry Friends of his
daughters and sons always welcomed at the
more prosperous looking board while in the same
room, Tolstoi, seated alongside of his wife, par
takes of the necessities of life as an ordinary pie
beian would. However, his children, having been
brought up to the luxuries of life are allowed to
crafty their every whim, and he never allows his
beliefs TO step between them and happiness In
that respect he is ideal father and he has been
praised the world over for his broad minded man.
ner of treating others who do not believe as he
does.
He is also what Americans call mixer" but
IN an entirely different sense. He meets the poor
OF Russia on their own level and, except for the
fact that he often scatters money at their feet
one would never suspect his wealth. There are
no strings attached to Tostois gifts and thousands
of benefcences to Russians in general, while the
benefactor's name is a secret, are popularity laid
at the door of this great man.
To be a friend of the Russian peasant up to a
few years ago meant to be an enemy of the gov
eminent. Upon several occasions Tostoi's outcry
against oppression of the cars subjects has placed
him behind the grimy walls of Slav dungeons, but
he always returned to continue the work which he
has ably accomplished:
He is social reformer Of the first water and
many of the acts of justice which the Russian gov
eminent of late years has accomplished can be
traced back TO the work Of Tolstoi
AS literary artist the count is dead. His de-
mise was a literary suicide. and it occurred SO

his children reared on the great estate anu
from the first their lot was that of the arlstocraI
They married "well," and are said to have com
pletey renowned his views. 1t is told OF Tolstoi
that his wife has always managed to slip piece
of velvet under her husbands crown or thorns
just when he wishes to press it to his head most
heavily"
That might be termed an inconsistency out
surely it is not the counts choice.
The work which some of the critics Of other
nations scott at has reached from the matched
hut of the poorest peasant clear to the palace OF
the emperor himself.
For the sake of peace also, Tolstoi has accom-
plished great work. The first Hague conference,
which made history, would probably never have
been called had it not been for the persistent
gospel OF this friend of the populace at large.
Tolstoi that the eventual result OF his teach
ings would be sort of a worlds peace gath
ering and he expressed qualification when Car
Nicholas called the initial session of the body over
which the dove of peace was destined to perch.
No church in the world, it is recorded, carried
out as petrifed a ritual as that of the Sav. To
day. chroniclers tell us, there exists tendency
towards softening of the customs of religion in
the cars country. Teachings of simplicity by
Tolstoi will be accorded the honor for this change
if it is eventually wrought.
Humane treatment of prisoners and philanthropy
ic moves of the immensely wealthy men of Rus
STA are also laid to the work of the count. Tostoi
tasted the bitter cup of Imprisonment himself and
he was well prepared to go about that work with
a Zest born of actual experience.
Simple moral truths have been the azioms of
Tostoi throughout his later years and while
c&eptcal persons call his ideas impracticable their
defender could, were he not all too modest point
to the works which have followed in the wake
OF his unique, quaint gospel.

in the dress, customs and habits of the

in his home his own teachings have had
