He is now 80 years old and while in good health
at the time of this writing, his passing is but a
matter Of few months 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 scath
ing attack of his pen has seldom been known to
boast Of it.
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 1t 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
sa, is welcome at the Yasnaya Polyana estate of
Russia's great man, as If he were in his own home
America likes Tostoi, too, for the author is the
most democratic Of men.
It is told of him that he spurns all worldly luxu
ries, even going far to have two tables set
within his home at each meal-one respendent
with fancy edibles, while the other is stocked
with simple food of the peasantry. Friends of his
daughters and sons are 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 ordinary pie
beian would. However his children, having been
brought up to the luxures of life, are allowed to
crafty their every whm, and he never allows his
beliefs to step between them and happiness. In
that respect he is an ideal father and he has been
praised the world for his broad-mnded man.
ner of treating others who do not believe as he
does.
He is also what Americans call a mixer" but
in an entirely different He meets the poor
of Russia on their 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 Tolstois gifts, and thousands
of benefcences to Russians in general, while the
benefactors name is secret, are popularity laid
at the door of this great man.
To be friend of the Russian peasant up TO
few years ago meant to be an enemy OF the gov
ernment Upon several occasions Tolstoi's outcry
against oppression of the cars subjects has placed
him behind the grimy walls of Sav dungeons, but
he always returned to continue the work which ne
has so ably Accomplished.
He is a social reformer of the first water and
many of the acts of justice which the Russian gov
ernunent 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 literary suicide. and 1t occurred 80

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 cu
ture, and have turned from them with a feeling
of repulson because of the inability of the first
to solve the really important problems of life
and because of the hollowness and faseness 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 1875 his writings have been almost ex-
clusively polemic and didactic.
To-day Count Leo Tostoi is a large, heavily
built man with unusually long arms, hanging
loosely at his sides, with a wide nose, somewhat
thick lips, small gray eyes, head set on bulky
but slightly STOPPING shoulders and matted
white beard. He possesses air Of strength

one finds in him is both mental and physical, and
hence of the durable sort

Live in peace with all men and do not regard
any man as your superior.
Do not make the beauty Of the body occasion

Young America.

NARROW was three years old One
day his mother said to him: Now,
NARROW, you may go outdoors to play
for while, but if see you crossing
the street to play with that naughty
little boy, Willie Burr, again, III give
you hard, hard spanking
Half an hour later the mother looked
out after her boy and saw him playing
with Willie Burr. She raised the Win
dow and called, with forced gontio-
ness:
NARROW, coms here to me-
NARROW came. but as he did SO, he
turned to his companion and said:

surely it is not the counts choice.
The work which some OF the critics OF other
nations scof at has reached from the thatched
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 1t not been for the persistent
gospel of this friend of the popnlace at large
Tolstoi saw that the eventual result of his teach
ings would be some sort of a worlds peace gath

Nicholas called the Initial session of the body over
which the dove Of peace was destined to perch.

OE Liquor stopped on Reading.

CHICAGO, Feb. Is.--The Pullman Palace
Car Company is going to discontinue the
sale OF liquors In their buffet and dining
cars. Philadelphia was the first conmu-
nifty to feel the effects Of this new policy OF
the Pullman company, An order issued
there to-day withdrew all alcoholic liquors
from the Pullman buffet cars on the Phila-
delphia and Reading Railroad and It is said
the company will gradually extend this
order until the entire Pullman system has
become dry.
II 10 known that this move has been con-
templated by the company for some time

officials by the company here in Chicago.

required the company TO move with caution.

It's cars through States where strict pro-
hibition laws are in force. and a still greater
number Of States where the sale Of liquor

This matter has been under discussion
by the officials Of the company for some
time" said Robert T. Lincoln. president
Of the Pullman company. when inter-
viewed this evening. There have been
many things to consider. and quite a num-
Der Of objections have been raised TO our
selling liquor. As may BE readily imagined,
questions Of law would be involved in some
States, also the question OF the comfort OF
passengers. As vet no general orders have
been Issued by the company
Mr. Lincoln would not deny that the
company, however, was contemplating a
