lively tisticuff proceeding opening ol

favorable to Roosevelt.

He is now so years old and while in good health
at the time of this writing. his passing is but a
matter of few months or years. There are two
sides to this great man. One is Leo Tolstoi the
artist, and the other-IIeo 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.

What Tolstoi has done for the peo'
nle of his time in Russia is to be found
in the dress. customs and habits of the
lower classes of that absolute mon
archy. but the critics say that right
in his home his own teachings have had
little effect. The answer which close
friends of the count give to that asser-
ton is that Russia's benefactor is TOO
broad-minded to make his home a mar
tyrdom and to infict his beliefs upon
his wife and children if they do not
care to abide by them.

declares he turned to frankness, simplicity ana

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-
cusively polemic and didactc.
To-day Count Leo Tolstoi is large, heavily
built man with unusually long arms, hanging
loosely at his sides, with wide nose, somewhat
thick lips, small gray eyes, a head set on bulky
but slightly STOPPING shoulders and mated
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. as 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 man should have one wife and every
woman one husband, and they should not be d.
vorced for any reason.
