He is now so years old and while in good health
at the time of this writing his passing is but
matter of a 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,
There is disputng 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
not be said that he craved fame either,
Best of all, Tostoi is friend of all Americans.
The traveller from the United States visiting Rus
STA, is welcome at the Yasnaya Polyana estate of
Russias great man, as if he were in his home.
America likes Tolsto too, for the author is the
most democratic of men.
1t is told of him that he spurns all worldly luxu-
ries, going far to have two tables set
within his home at each meal-one respondent
with fancy edibles. while the other is stocked
with simple food of the peasantry. Friends of his
daughters and always welcomed at the
more prosperous looking board, while in the same
room, Tolsto seated alongside of his wife, par
takes of the necessities OF life an ordinary pie
beian would. However, his children having been
brought up to the luXuries of life, allowed to
crafty their every whim 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-minded man
ner of treating others who do not believe he
does
He is also what Americans call mixer" but
in entirely different 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 secret, are popularity laid
at the door Of this great man.
To be friend OF the Russian peasant up to a
few years ago meant to be an enemy OF the gov
eminent. Upon several occasions Tolstois outcry
against oppression of the czars subjects has placed
him behind the grmy walls of Slav dungeons, but

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 repulsion 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 Tostoi
declares he turned to frankness, simplicity and
essential kindness, and he says he is to-day near
er mother earth thas ever in his life He declares
the peasant typically, is the ideal Christian And
thus since 1875 his writings have been almost
cusively polemc and ddactic.
To-day Count Leo Tolsoi 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 a matted
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-

Live in peace with all men and do not regard
any man your superior.
Do not make the beauty of the body occasion
for lust.
Every should have wife and every
woman one husband, and they should not be d.
vorced for any reason.
Do not revenge yourself and do not punish 9TH

Suffer all wrong and do not repay with evil for

that his wife has always managed to slip piece

That might be termed an inconsistency, Du'

nations scott at has reached from the matched
hut of the poorest peasant clear to the palace oil
the emperor himself.
For the sake of peace also Tolstoi has accom-
pshed 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
Tolsto saw that the eventual result of his teach

Nicholas called the initial session of the body over

No church in the world, it is recorded, carried

in the dress, customs and habits of the
lower classes of that absolute mon

The stuyvesants In America.

American families may not be Of
long duration measured by the stand
ard which can be applied to some old
world houses. Still, the death of a
iineal descendant of Peter Stuyvesant,
and one of the few who lived to see
the twentieth century, recalls some
stirring and swiftly-made history.

with a peopery disposition that kept

The Two West Points.


The sensations of the new cadet
when, after the climb from the boat
landing. he finally reaches the plain
those first sensations linger long
while There are two West Points
the actual West Point and the over
arching. spiritual one, Of which tho
cadet only becomes conscious about
the time he graduates, writes Gen.
Norris Schar in Atlantic Monthly.
The determinate West Point that is
to be his master for four years, and
the shaper of his destiny, meets him
at the top Of the slope with ominous
silence. He hears no voice, he sees
no portentous figure; but there Is COM
municated in some way, through some
medium. the presence Of an invisible
authority, cold, inexorable and re-
lentless. Time never wears away this
first feeling; it comes back to every
graduate on returning to West Point,
bot his years and his honors be what
they may. And perhaps 1t is just as
well that 1t be SO; that there is one
place left in our country where van
lty OF asserted ancestry and the too
frequent arrogance of speculative and
forruitous commercial leadership find
