How Monkeys DO IL.
Mankind is supposed by many
to have come from the lower ami
NAL life and those who have
watched the monkey with its
young have noticed that that ami
NAL invariably carries its young
in the left hand or arm. The rea-
son given for this is that the
monkey can better protect its
young with its right hand and
arm.
A short time ago the writer
read the sign and then commenced
to notice the actions of the pas
sengers. Riding from South Ia

about 35 minutes and about six
miles. During the trip there were
several women who got on the

their right hand, holding their
bundles or skirts with their left.

on with their babies and all OF

TOLSTOI, GREAT RUSSIAN PEASANT DEADI
GREAT POET DIES
At ACE Of 81

(By United Press Leased Wire }
YASNAYA POLINA, Russia,
Nov. 21.-With pomp and cere-
mony, the body of Count Leo
Tolstoi, who died early Sunday
morning, was brought home today
for burial tomorrow at the foot
of Poverty oak, where his peas
ants have all congregated await
ing the last services.
No church ceremony will be
permitted. The officials of the
Greek church in Russia prepared
to extend absolution to Tolstoi
before his death, but it is said
the count was induced by anti
church advisors to reject the
proffer, and died ex-communicat-
ed. In view of this, troops will
attend the civil obsequies.

order should the peasantry be-
come indignant over the failure of
the church to rescind the edict of
communication after death. 1t
is not likely that the church will
do this, as Abbot Varsofonius
waited until Tolstoi's death in the
hope that before the end the
count would seek reconciliation
with the church. The church
then decided, it is believed, not
to act after death.
