MANY KILLED IN TORNADOES.
Fort Smith Hears of Loss of Life in
 Nearby Towns.

Fort Smith, Ark-Shortly afterT 2 o'clock Monday afternoon a tornado swept through northwest Arkansas, destroying houses, stores and chur ches in Crayens, Barr, Berryville, Dyer, Jethro, Walla Walla and several other villages. From meager reports the death list may total p and the in jured many of whom are fatally hurt, will approximate 30. These estimates may be somewhat reduced when de- tailed information has been received.
 Up to the present time there are only eight known dead, four in Crav- ems and the others in Barr and Lon don, near Russellville. All wires are down to the stricken villages and the only method of communication is by railroad.
 The storm was most severe at Cra- vens. Four people were killed, MT. and Mrs. John Resin and two children, who were caught in the collapse ot house and buried under the wreck age.
 Mir. and Mrs. l.. G. Hilt an aged couple, were seriously injured and may die. Eight people who took re- fuge in store were caught in the crash of the building and all were in jured.
 Three men, two women and three children at Cravens are reported miss ing They have not been seen since the tornado Practically all the larg- CT buildings were demolished.
 From Knoxville a report was re- ceiyed Tuesday morning indicating that the village of Barr had been de- stroyed. Doctors were sent there on handcars. It is said that several resi- dents were killed and a large number injured. Section men who went to the scene with physicians state that the whole country has been laid waste by wind and hail. Not house or barn is left standing in the path or the tornado.
 Knoxville escaped destruction by narrow margin The storm passed the village at the mouth of Piney creek and went due east.
 Dr. Croker of Linall is reported bad ly hurt.
 Bridges were torn and twisted from banks of streams and the country was devastated by hail which in some places was six inches deep on the ground.
 The fury of the wind was felt at Mulberry. where slight damage was done. Several houses were unrooted and the people, panic-stricken. fled to the churches BerryvAle suffered a heavy property loss, but no enc was seriously injured. IL is believed that the tornado struck other towns further inland with which no connection oth- CT than by wagon roads is possible.

years ago, when he himself declared that his great creative works were unworthy and altogether evil.
 Here is his account of the split in his life:
 "I 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 Tolstoi declares he turned to frankness, simplicity and essential kindness and he says he is today near CT 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 clusvely polemic and didactC.
 To-day Count Leo Tolstoi is d 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 stooping shoulders and a matted white beard He possesses air of strength that is found in few great men. The power that 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 Gf God and he has made them his rules for faith and conduct throughout the later years of his life These laws are mari2od follows:
 Live in peace with all men and do not regard any man your superior
 Do not make the beauty of the body an occasion for lust
 Every should have wife and every woman husband, and they should not be di- vorced for any reason.
 Do not revenge yourself and do not punish oth- CTS because you think yourself insulted hurt Suffer all wrong and do not repay with evil for you all the children of one father.
 Never break the peace in the name of patriotism

He is so years old and while in good health at the time of this writing his passing is but a 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 1t
 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 il can not be said that he craved fame either

 It is told of him that he spurns all worldly luxu ries, even going far as to have two tables within his home at each mcal--one resplendent with fancy edbles. while tie other is stocked with simple food of the peasanry. Friends of his daughters and sons always welcomed at the more prosperous looking board while in the same room, Tolstoi, seated alongside of his wife par takes of the necessities of life as an ordinary pie beian would However his children. having been brought up to the luXuries of life are allowed to gratfy their every whm. 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 over for his broad minded ner of treating others who do not believe as he does.

his children were reared on the great estate and from the first their lot that of the aristocrat They married we'll and are said to have com pletely renounced his views. It is told or iolstoi that his wife has always managed to slip piece of velvet under her husbands crown of thorns just when he wishes to press it to his head most heavily"
 That might be termed an inconsistency, but surely it is not the counts choice.
 The work which some of the critics Of other nations scoff at has reached from the matched hut of the poorest peasant clear to the palace of the emperor himself
 For the sake of peace also Tolstoi has accom- pshed a 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 popuace at large Tostoi saw that the eventual result of his teach ngs would be some sort of a worlds peace gath ering and he expressed qualification when Czar Nicholas called the initial session of the body which the dove Of peace destined to perch.
 No church in the world, it is recorded. carried out as petrified ritual as that of the Slav To- day, chroniclers tell us, there exists tendency towards softening of the customs of religion in the czar's country. Teachings of simplicity by Tostoi will be accorded the honor for this change if it is eventually wrought
 Humane treatment of prisoners and philanthrop ic moves of the immensely wealthy men of Rus sia are also laid to the work of the count Tolstoi he was well prepared to go about hat work with a zest born of actual experience.
 Simple moral truths have been the axioms of T0stoi throughout his later years and while skeptcal persons call his ideas impracticable their defender could. were he not all too modest point to the works which have followed in the wake of his unique. quaint gospel

What Tolstoi has done for the peo pie 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 Russa's benefactor Is too broad-minded to make his home mar tyrdom and to infict his beliefs upon his wife and children If they do not care to abide by them.

AGAIN the Hair.

The mans hair, at Al. was so thick
and dark that it gave him an abb
normal and coarse look-the look
somehow, of the proprietor Of swind-
ling sideshow. He was, however, a
millionaire banker.
"All this talk about the hair turn
ing gray If you go bareheaded is
false" ha said; except in the case OF
those who don't use brilliantine. Since
I was a boy of IS, when my hair got
very thin, have gone bareheaded all
summer long by hair specialists adj
vice. To that l impute my excellent
crop.
"Of course, my hair. dried by the
sun and wind, would have turned gray
il ] hadn't oiled it with brilliantine
daily / oiled and brushed it till 1t
shone like satin That combination
hair barred daily to the sun and oiled
daily with brilliantine-positively as
sures a thatch that will last out the
lifetime. And this treatment slaves
off rather than brings on grayness."

Costume for the Aued.

Though no woman ever admits that
she is old in this twentieth century,
still there are few grandmothers in
our midst, and though very few adopt
cap and an all-black garb, and an
old-fashioned bonnet, at 60 years of
age II is not wise to dress like a wom-
an of rs. A large hat would suit the
sexagenarian, especially IL her hair
be white, and some old ladies are
daring enough to wear white cloth
gowns; but they must be of very pic
turesque type. Certainly white can
be worn from the cradle to the grave,
and is suited alike to an infant and to
a graceful old lady. Gray and lilac,
purple and striped black and white are
to be preferred to black; silver gray
is well suited to a complexion that
has lost its youth, and in our days
there Is no special style of gown
adapted to the old. Elderly people
should not wear short gowns or a
blouse of a different color from the
skirt, nor narrow gored skirt; soft
materials are best suited to them.
The toques trimmed with silver lace
ruffies and ruchings cannot fail to suit
them; they should abjure imitation
lace, but favor real as much as posi-

AMERICANS IN BRITISH PULPIrs
clergymen from This Country Preach
in Places Of Nonconformist's.

American preachers are going to
summer and autumn to fill leading
Nonconformist pulpits while the Eng
lish pastors are away on vacation.
This was strikingly illustrated re-
Gently when DR.. Frank Gunsaulus OF
Chicago preached at the City Temple,
DR.. s. Parkes Cadman of Brooklyn at
the Whitefields tabernacle, DR..
Broughton of Atlanta at Westminster
chapel, Mr.. Emery Hunt of Dennison
university (Ohio) at the Baptist
chapel, st. Johns Wood, and Mr.. III.
Nude of Portland, Me-, at Stoke New
ington Baptist chapel
BY the way, Mr.. Gunsaulus' opinion
has been sought by an interviewer
regarding the assertion by Rev. w.
Kingscote Greenland that London Is
the wickedest city on the earth, and
that, man for man, the Englishman Is
more immoral than the Frenchman.
Mr.. Gunsaulus has known London in
timately for 16 years and has a pro-
found admiration for the city.
II cannot" he says, "be pessimist
in London. | agree with DR.. Johnson
that he who is tired of London is
tired of life. l always learn some
thing new about London's work for
humanity, and l cannot understand
the man who cannot see the light
which has broken upon London during
the last 16 years. / can see 1t each
time l come here. There is no city
I know of which encourages Chris
tians as London does"
Londoners love to be patted on the
back, and they are saying quite nice
things of Mr.. Gunsaulus.

Special Train to Carry a Wreath.

Carelessness on the part OF some
court official recently rendered neces-
sary the sending of a special train
from Budapest to Vienna to carry a
laurel wreath for the tomb of the MUIR
dered Empress Elizabeth. 1t is the
custom every year to make up on the
empress estate at Godollo, In Hun
gary, a gigantic laurel wreath to be
laid on the empress coffin In the
vaults of the Capuchin church on the
eve of the anniversary of her assas-
sination. This year when the official
in charge of the wreath arrived in
Budapest he found that the wreath
had not been put in the carriage. To
go back for it was to lose the train,
and as 1t was imperative that the
wreath should be laid in the imperial
vaults that evening, the court cham
berlain ordered a special train to car
ry the wreath over the 1853 miles be-
tween the Hungarian and Austrian
capitals.

END OF PET oETEsTATioN.
New Yorker Finally Rid of the Dis
pissed High Hat

There is a certain man in New York
whose pet detestation Is high hat.
In his Journey through life he has ac-
quired many dislikes, some prejudices.
and a few hatreds-but his feeling
toward a high hat goes far beyond the
limits implied by the mild word
hatred"
However, family influences were
brought to bear on him when he had
reached the proper milestone In his
life, and these influences were so
strong and insistent that eventually
the man in question purchased high
hat; what is more, he actually
donned it.
But his hatred abated not jot. In
fact, it grew. He used to open his
tatbox and eye the hat viciously, MUIR
derously. But thoughts of what the
family would say If he should adopt
violent measures always deferred him,
and every time he shut the box again,
leaving the thing unframed, and
vented his rage in profanity.
Once he and his family went to
live at hotel in the country. And
one night, with appalling suddenness,
that hotel caught fire.
Fortunately. everybody in 1t was
able to get out in safety. The young
man of the hat, after counting heads,
and seeing that his people were out of
| danger, decided to dash into the burn
ing building once mOre-there was
still a bit of time-fn order to see
whether he might rescue a few more
things from his room. In the excite
ment attendant on the discovery of
the fire the hotel guests had been
obliged to look to their personal safe
ty, without thinking overmuch Of that
of their belongings.
| Well, the young man, plunging gal
lantly through flame and smoke
reached his room. There, the first
thing which caught his eye was the
high hat.
With look of diabolical glee he re-
garded 1t for a few seconds. Then
with an exclamation of delight-he
kicked 1t into the inmost part of the
room, into cracking flame and eddy
ing smoke, far from all possible
means of escape.
Then, diabolical glee still illumining
his features, he emerged happy

Mr.. Belmont described the street
near Tottenham Court Road, where
secondhand clothes are sold.
"A discussion overheard in that
street.. he. said, will give you some
Idea of the prices that prevail.

And he held up before the dealer
pair of plaid trousers.

Southern hospitality is proverbially
generous. In The Old Dominion" Mr..
Thomas Nelson Page recounts an in
stance showing that this hospitality
was not always appreciated. A guest
asked the loan Of horse to carry him
to his next stoppingplace, a town
which lay at considerable distance.
The host accordingly lent him his
horse, and sent along a negro boy
1t was before the war-to bring the
horse back.
After several days the boy was still
missing. and some one was sent to
hunt him up. The messenger found
him at last, and demanded why he
had not returned with the horse.
"'Cause dat gent'man done sell de
horse" was the reply.
We'll, why didn't you come back
and say so?"
Hi! He done sell me, too" said
the boy.-Youth's Companion.
