Car Hates but
Fears Tolstoi

Perhaps there is no other subject
of the car who would have dared
to arraign the Russian government
before the bar of public opinion as
Tolstoi has arraigned the Russian
autocracy. If any other Russian
had done as Tolstoi has done he
would in all probability have been
hurried to prison to spend the
rest of his days there. But upon
Tolstoi even the car of all the Rus
sias is afraid to lay the iron hand.
The car has millions of soldiers to
execute his will, but he is afraid to
crush a feeble old man, who is
within his power as absolutely as
the humblest peasant is.
Tolstoi enjoys immunity because
he stands for the eternal principles
of justice. Cynics say that the time

1t Made Her Nervous

A young lady who is at present
in the city tells with a great deal
of gusto a good one" that hap
pened in her travels. The said
young lady is very resourceful and
can help in almost any kind of
"dOings" from a county convention
to christening. Recently she was
attending a funeral with the Won
ans Relief corps of another city.
There was no preacher present and
the corps had charge of the burial
services.
The young lady was asked to
sing a hymn, which she did, fol-
lowed by the burial service of the
corps. A man who had general
supervision of the funeral then
made few remarks and then said
the young lady would sing another
hymn, land during the singing the
corpse will please stand up"
When she had quieted her nerves
somewhat she found that it was
only his peculiar way of referring
to the women's organization, but
the attempt to sing and think of the
corpse" standing up to listen was
considerable of a strain on her ris-
ibles and reminded her that every
thing is not always solemn even at
a funeral.

well filled Indiana avenue car,
studying the advertisements of all
the latest foods and incidentally
minding her own affairs. The child,
a boy of about 5, with golden, curly
locks and a pretty, laughing face,
stood on the seat beside her.

sat a fierce looking man, with brist-
ling mustache, reading news

THE EMPTY SLEEVE.

In her mornings mail Alice May
nard had received a letter she rec
ognized to be from Arthur Gray,
now Lieutenant Gray, a boyhood
sweetheart whom she had seen sail
away with his regiment to the
tropics over four years ago. They
had exchanged letters for a while,
but when he was ordered to the
interior, the epistles became more
scarce, then two years later Alice
had heard of his attachment for his
coloners daughter. so with aching
heart she bore her disappointment
in silence, and lost her sorrow in
time midst the gay society Of Wash
ington.
Coming homev she exclaimed
why, mother, he is here. He says
Thursday. and this Is Thursday"
Her heart beat wildly and she push
ed her breakfast aside.
A stately woman looked across
the table at her daughter. Il do
not think it a good time for Arthur
to return" she replied, 'for he
must have already heard of your
engagement to Colonel Bush"
The girl paled. But Colonel Bush
is so much older than I that likely
Arthur has not believed it. He
writes from San Francisco and says
there is reason his letters stopped
coming. shall see him, mother,
anyway, for"
Alice did not finish. The
thought of her fiance, gray haired
and rich, came to her mind again,
as compared to the fresh, dark
eyed face Of Arthur Gray, and
something frightened around her
heart.
But Alice saw Arthur.
That afternoon he was admitted
to the drawing room. In a few mo-
ments Alice came downstairs, won
dering how they would meet. Part
ing the curtains she saw a tall
young man rise with a smile on
his face and springing forward, ex-
tend one hand.
"Alice!" he cried.
But she hung back for an instant
her eyes still resting on his stall
wart figure, then a cry, full of sur
prise and deep sympathy, was rent
from her.

you-send you among barbarians,
where Oh, wish l could get
the person who did it,"
"He was a little coffee colored
native. And someone did pick him
off prettily. But what have you to
say to me?"
Then it all came back to her. She
told him of the old colonel who was
lately retired with great honors,
and had now returned to the United
States to enjoy the wealth that
had always been his.
At first Arthur was dumb. "Why,
