He is now 80 years old and while IN good health
at the time Of this writing, his passing is but
matter Of few months or years. There are two
sides to this great man. One ID Leo Tolstoi the
artist. and the other-Leo Tolstoi, the man. Az
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 no disputing his rank as the best known
OF living authors. Also he 10 the most generally
read and recognized. He has attained the highest
pinnacle Of fame in the literary field and 1t can

America likes Tostoi, too, for the author is the
most democratic of men.
1t 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 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

years ago. when ne 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 falseness Of
the second"
BY becoming chummy with the peasant Tolstoi
declares he turned to frankness, simplicity and
essential kindness, and he says he il to-day near
er mother earth than ever in his life. He declares
the peasant, typcally Is the ideal Christian. And
thus since 1875 his writings have been almost ex-
clusively polemic 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 IL the Sermon
on the Mount In this he has declared that
he found i've 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. as follows:
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 man should have one 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
ere because you think yourself insuited or 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.
