gan his great life struggle with Tolstoy
life OF dissipation and, tearing himself
from his ca-ousals with his profigate
companions, fed, year before his
graduation, to his country estates
there to exchange the books OF the uni
versity for the implements of the field,
the prospective life Of a lawyer for
that j. :; farmer. Five years he spent
on his ancestral estates, living partly
the life Of student, partly the
life OF "a master of peasant slaves
and partly as a dreamer Of beautiful
dreams of their emancipation. BE was
aroused from these dreams by the ma
tons call to arms. On the breaking
out of the Crimean war he was sent to
Sebastopol, there taking command of a
mountain battery and assisting in the
defense of the citadel At the close Of
the war In 1856 he resigned his COM
mission and devoted himself to the lit
erary career which was to make him
world renowned.
Immediate success crowned his ef-
forts as writer. He was as greatly
! surprised as anybody at this instan-
taneous success. From the bloody
fields Of war he had fastened to st.
| Petersburg, where as the most famous
author Of the day he was welcomed
with open arms by society whose
only virtue, to Judge from his writings,
seemed to lie in its not being virtuous.
The period of probation reached its
end at last. Thrown again into the
whirl Of the gay world, he had drained
the cup of sin down to it's dregs, and
In utter disgust he snatched it from his
!ips He turned from his wicked self
and thus ended absolutely, like the
drama of Faust" the first part of his
life. Tolstoy the Tartar persisted; Toll
stoy the philosopher was born.

Cupid as the Devil.

A writer who visited Tolstoy not long
ago thus described him: "Tolstoy
reads, writes and receives his friends
In his bedroom. His couch is quite de-
void Of mattress, sheets or pillows.
Near the couch there always is an as.
sortment Of shoemaker's materials,
| with which he works when not toiling
in the field or devoting himself to writ
ing. He arises at 5 o'clock III the
morning and goes to bed early at night.
His meals are Of the simplest food and
no meat. He defends the opinion that
man has no right to kill and consume
living organism. 81.
Temperance finds in the great nov
elist All enthusiastic supporter. He nei-
Their drinks nor smokes, and he in
| cludes In the term many other indul-
gences that the ordinary advocates of
temperance consider apart from their
creed. To him romantic love also is
intemperance. The tender passion that
from all time has been the theme of
the poet and novelist Tolstoy deems a
species of moral depravity. Cupid is
the devil in his most awful guise. Mat
rimony brought about by romantic love
he holds to be an unholy alliance. Men
| and women should love each other as
friends or brothers and sisters.
I'm the matter Of land ownership
Tolstoy admires the theories Of the late
| Henry George. He considered George
| the greatest American citizen O: his
time Tolstoy, however, believes IN a
system of communal rather than ma
tlonal ownership. The ideal state of
society, according to his theory, is the
| simple rural communes, in which every
family would have the right to till soil
enough for its own support. Govern
ments he regards as the root of all evil.
Tax collectors he considers highway
men, He looks forward to day
when. men will no longer consent to
be robbed Of money nor be instructed
In the art Of numbering one another in
war.
| "Tha accumulation of vast possess
sions by individuals the count regards
as one Of the great evils. His thought
has been that the mission of a few
great American millionaires would be
to hasten the climax. He does not
think, however, that the equalization
Of property will be brought about by
violence, but by general moral awak-
ening. The great millionaires, he ex-
poets, will become convinced that they
have no right to the property they now
regard as their own and will give it
up, just as he would now be willing to
move off the family estate at Yasnia
Polyana: America, he thinks, will set
the example. England will follow,
then Russia"

Hawks Attacked Swimmer.

Two immense fishhawks had fun in
the ocean at Asbury Park, N. j., with
William Prell, musician employed at
Congress Hall. The musician was
bathing in the ocean about a hundred
yards from shore when suddenly a
school Of weakfish surrounded him.
and he had hard work keeping afloat.
In the midst of his troubles the fish
hawks spied the fish and attempted to
get hearty meal. In doing this the
hawks .nibbed at Prell's head occa-
sfonally. The musician, now nearly
frantic, yelled for help, and Life Guard
Jackson heard the cries, launched a
lifeboat and soon had Prell safe on
shore.

'sB0yhood You'll" .eThe Cossacks,"
"Sevastopol Sketches . Family Hap
piness," ''War and Peace" anna Ka-
renina" and many other short stories.
His tales published during the Crimean
war caused Emperor Alexander II. to
order the general under whom Tolstoy
served to take care of the author and
not to expose his life to any danger.
The stories named above belong to Toll
stoy's first literary period. To the Sec
ond belong "My Confession ."What
Believe" "The Kreutzer Sonata and
other religious, philosophical and socio-
logical productions.
The Tolstoy cult, developed since
that day when the Tartar was trans
formed into the philosopher, astonish-
ed the world. That part Of it which
deals with the relations Of state and
Individual is not very different from
widely held Socialist views in many
parts of the world, that which deals
with the church is repugnant to the
orthodoX-it led to his excommunica-
ton by the Greek church several years
ago-and that which deals with the
tender passion is at variance with the
conventional view. It was the treat
ment Of this last phase of the cult in
'The Kreutzer Sonata" that made the
novel the sensation Of two continents.
In his efforts to follow the example Of
Christ, Tolstoy refused to accept pay
for his literary work and on his copy
rights and endeavored to give away
his personal property and his estate,
covering $500 acres, but in these moves
he was frustrated by his wife, who
declared that she and the thirteen
children she had borne him should not
be impoverished. This and other
phases Of the Tolstoy cult are so un-
conventional and impractical that for
years past many Russians have be-
lieved he was crazy. In an article en-
titled ''The Tragedy Of Tolstoy" So
phie White, sister Of Count Witte,
made this significant statement: "The
number Of tragic, unnatural deaths and
suicides, and especially the number Of
people who have become insane, in this
aristocratic family, has been astonish-
ingly great"
Though prevented from giving away
his property, Tolstoy adopted very
simply and frugal method of living
and wore the rough clothing of the
Russian peasant. Once he appealed to
peasant audience by reading ''The
Power Of Darkness" before his ten
ants. To his intense chagrin the peas
ants roared with laughter at the most
pathetic points in his story. But this
incident did not dim his interest in
the lowly moujiks. Early and late he
championed their rights and denounced
their wrongs under the cars despotic

Dormant Genius AWakens.
A descendant of Count Peter Tolstoy,
who was a friend and comrade Of
Peter the Great, Count Lyov, or Leo
Tolstoy, was born at Yasnia Polyana
on Aug. %, 1923. At an early age he
was left an orphan, but he received a
good education, as do all Russian no.
bles, being placed under private tutors
and afterward attending the university
at Kazan. He pursued his studies and
travelled widely until 1851, when he
entered the army and went on an ex-
pedition to Caucasus.
Early In youth Tolstoy had been
thrown in contact with the gay mill
tary life of Moscow, and when he ex-
changed that life for that of the uni
versity it meant, to large extent, only
continuation Of riotous living. But
OF a sudden the nobler passion in him
began to stir. The dormant genius

PROMPT IN DEFENSE
OF SECRET SERVICE
Treasury Heads Resent Pro
posed Restrictions Urged
by Representatives.

Somewhat nettled, but at the same
time amused. by the recent outpourings
against Secret Service methods by mem
bers Of Congress, officiols Of the Treas
ury Department. who are In close touch
with the peculiar work done by the
Secret Service. arc inclined to grow
rather sarcastic over the matter, and
as a contribution 10 the lively situation.
suggest that Secret Service men should
wear uniforms. Such a regulation. say
Treasury officials, could not be more
out Of place than some of the restric-
lions others would impose upon the
service.
In defense Of the Secret Service, one
Df the officials said today:
The element of mystery is always a
potent factor in dealing with criminal
classes. The Secret Service is divided
into twenty-seven administrative dis.
tricts. each in charge OF a chief. 1t Is
necessary that this head district Official
should be known, as he often appears
in court, but. on the other hand. the
men should be given every assistance
10 move about freely and unObserved.
Secret Service methods are not what
one might imagine from recent refer
ences 10 operations in the service. They
nse the same methods as would be ap-
piled 10 a business proposition. The
operations OF the service resemble
thoSe of a trained newspaper force. diff
Gering only because there is no necessity
Tor hUstling to meet the first edition.
Principally, the service deals with
riolators Of the currency laws. The
suppression of counterfeiting is one Of
the chief aims Of the service, and in
view OF the recent financial depression
there seems 10 be widespread activity
among the counterfeiters. The service
brings to justice from $50. to 600 Of this
class each year
1T has been difficult 10 destroy the
Idea that there is much romance con
hected with the work. This idea IS
wrong; the operations OF the service are
confined entirely within the borders Of
the United States, and deal only with
Violations Of the Federal laws.
