Count TOlstoy.

COUNT ToLsToY, the Russian reformer and writ
er, is criticalyi For half century this Quixotic
has been prominently before the public in var-
GUS capacities. By his friends, and they many,
he is considered philanthropist, literary genius,
preacher and reformer of the first rank. By his
enemies he is considered an imposter Of the
greatest humbugs that is to be found in all history
for they claim, and with considerable truth, that
Tolstoy is all poise; that he did noble deed
for his fellowmen during his whole career This is
perhaps true, for it is certainty that the peasants
on his estate would not have threatened his life if
he really was the noble character which his friends
delight to portray.
Tolstoy has been creator of sensations very
nearly all his life Only recently he is quoted as
saying that Shakespeare's writings absolutely
worthless. It is difficult to understand this erratic
person, who breaches theories and dogmas di-
ametrcally opposed to existing standards
which he himself ignores. It is evident that the
egotism in this peculiar is developed to re-
markable degree, for he cannot be compared to one
who possesses a rational mind.
If Tolstoy had been born and raised in America
and preached the ideas that he now Eliminates in
Russia, he would be considered harmless fanatic.
Instead of having world wide audience of cosmo-
potan character who eagerly await his every utter
ance as tho it of divine inspiration, he would
hardly have a hundred followers. Occasionally he
gives voice to lucid thought, but this happens
rarely that his followers neglect to accuse him of
heresy. Such is fame

pire has not exhibited any evidence of late that

recently given when she seized Japanese vessel for

were justified in capturing the vessel, Japan made

would have swallowed yard or two of cable if the
Jsps had insisted on it, Such humiliating and

LoNDoNs famous playhouse, Drury Lane, has
passed away, having recently been destroyed by fire.
This theatre perhaps the most famous of its kind
in the world, it being rich in traditions of notable
thespians who, in former days, delighted admiring
audiences This historic theatre was first opened to
the public in 1868, and since that time very nearly
all the weknown actors of:the civilized globe have
played in it, It is very likely that it will be again
rebuilt, this makes the fourth time the building
has been destroyed by fire.

LEGAL bubbles.

AMERICA is becoming celebrated az the country
in which legal technicalties flourish like banyan
tree. A case apropos of this occurred at Aurora,
Mimi, when two blind piggers were arrested When
they appeared in court their attorney demanded that
the be dismissed, saying that the justice of the
peace. having failed to file his bond, had authori
ty to issue warrant The case was dismissed, but
rearrest Immediately followed. the Justice of the
peace having conformed to the legal requirements of
the law. The filing of the bond is formality,
but it was of sufficient Importance to obstruct the
judicial proceedings.
The leading members of the bar frown upon
such sharp practices as unbecomingI and leading
to worthy purpose. In the majority of cases
such tactics only causes temporary delay, and the
defendant must foot the bill. As rule, however,
attorneys to blame for this state of affairs
When their clients insist carrying the to the
highest court in the land because of Irregularities in
procedure, they must obey or else abandon the case
If these blind piggers at Aurora had paid their fine
without resortng to technicalities they would not
have had such large bill to settle, for there

excitement among the revolutionists and
terrorists who in the past have found
Finland a convenient base of operations
for plots of all kinds. They are now
leaving in great numbers. most of them
going to Sweden.
This clearing Finland OF plotters Will
greatly facilitate the work of the Russian
police in guarding the lives of prominent

came directly from Finland the day they
committed the crime, method which
