TOLSTOl BREAKS DOWN.
He Lies Ill of a Fever Only so Miles
From Home.

Tula. Russia, Nov. 15.-Broken down
by the hardships of a winter journey.
mental strain and a rupture with his
family, Count Leo Tolstoi lies with a
high fever in the little railroad station
at AstopoVa, 80 miles from his home.
Tolstoi is attended by DR.. Makovetsky,
his sole companion when he left his
home a few days ago. and carried
along with him medicaments for such
an emergency. Tolstoi's daughter,
Alexandra, is acting as his nurse.
Telegraphic reports of his condition
are far from favorable. Indeed. they
are considered extremely pessimisttc.
His temperature is 104, indicating prop
ably a serious congestion. and of itself
an alarming symptom IN one OF
Tolstoi's years.
The mental anguish of the patient
handicaps the efforts of the physician
to reduce the fever. Even if he recov-
ers there can be no question of his
continuing the journey to the Caucasus.
where he hoped to end his life among
the Toistoian colony on the shores OF
the Black sea.
Tolstoi had hoped to escape notice
after his departure from Yasnaya Po-
Llama and spend a quiet week of fare
well with his sister, Marie, nun IN
the ancient clOister of Shamardino IN
the province of Kaluga. but he insisted
on leaving Immediately after he found
his retreat had been discovered.
He drove in a carriage from Shamar-
dino to Eozelsh. accompanied by his
daughter, Alexandra, and DR. Mako
vetsky. in order to cover his move
ments. and announced he was going to
Moscow, where he has a house. Later,
however the party changed cars and
boarded a local train proceeding in the
direction of the Caucasus.

and he developed such a fever that DR..

there and only a few peasants huts.

CHAMP CLARK AND WICHITA.
Tried to Build Up Law Practice But
Never Got q Client.

Wichita, Kan, Nov. 15.-The Demo-
cratic landslide at the recent election
which assures that party a majority in
the national house of representatives
suddenly brings into prominence Con-
gresham Champ Clark of Missouri, for
some time leader of the Democratic
minority and now slated for the next
speaker of that body. In this connec-
ton it is interesting to recall that the
Honorable Champ was at one time, for
nearly a year resident and practicing
attorney in Wichita
1t was back in 1875 when Wichita
and Mr.. Clark were both young, and
neither had attained to the national
prominence they have since merited.
Clark was struggling young attorney
just entering the field of law and de-
cided to come to Wichita and grow
up with the country"
1t was early in the year 1875 that
Clark landed in Wichita, almost liter
ally without dollar to his name. He
located in an Office in the old Pacific
Express building at the corner of First
and Main, having desk room in the
Office of Judge Horace Greeley Rug
giles, q well known character in the
early days of law practice in this city.
It is related that as the months
dragged along and no clients appeared
the young lawyer announced to some
one that he intended staying here only
until he could say that he had earned
some money here and then move on to
SOAIlS OIASI llS4Q. IL Was wen dlO44S III
the fall when one day he was missed
and for a few days nothing was seen
of him. When he appeared again he
showed a beautiful coat of tan that
amounted to almost sunburn. and his
hands were we'll covered with blisters.
Hello. Champ, where have you
been?'' some one asked him.
Working" was the reply. Cutting
corn. 1 promised to stay in this town
till I earned some money here, and
the only way I see of doing it is by
the sweat of my brow. I've been
swinging a corn knife and getting a
dollar day for it. Now I'm ready to
CO."
It was along in December, however,
before he did leave, but when he did
he shook the dust off his feet and re-
solved he would never come back.
Since that time his rise has been sure
and steady.
While he did not cut any conspicu-
Gus figure in the business world here,
Clark was well known to early day
society. The young people of that day
remember him we'll and several of the
matrons of the city at present recall
the time when they went with"
Champ Clark.

Df these two companies It may become

of these two companies It may become
serious.
. Two or three times in the last week
the street car service has been Grip
piled because of the inability of the
plant to obtain a sufficient supply of
water, though the company owns and
maintains several large wells. Ordi-
narily, these wells supply all the wa
ter needed for the boilers. but now it
is necessary to be very economical of
the supply and even then the cars were
run very unsatisfactory Monday.
The trouble is that the street car
company and the electric company find
it almost impossible to obtain what
water they need for cond ensing.
The long continued dry weather has
caused the Arkansas river to run dry
except below the mouth of the Little
river, in which very little water is now
flowing. AS a result the level of the
water in the ground is several feet
lower than it usually is at this time OF
the year. All the water used by the
street car company and the electric
company is taken from the sand
through which the sheet water of the
Arkansas valley flows. Unless heavy
rains should fall soon, it will be neces-
sary to sink the wells for both plants
much lower than their present depth.

Cherryvale, Kan, Nov 15.-Never in

extent. There are many families in

Beautiful and most interesting of all
goldfish is native Of Japan, and it Is
noted for the beauty Of it's tail and the
abnormal length Of its fms. The tail
resembles a delicate veil, and the fms
are developed to such an extent that 1t
is impossible for the fish to make rapid
progress in the water. 1t is therefore
solely on account Of its beauty that 1t
is priced anu because In this respect II
differs widely from other varieties OF
goldfish, such as the telescope fish,
the eyes Of which bulge out Of the
head in most unsightly fashion; the
celestial eyed fish," which is also un-
comely because Its eyes are bullet
shaped and are ever turned skyward
and the egg FISH," which is so called
because it's body is somewhat amor
phous, but resembles an egg more
than anything else.

Old world domestics make the best
possible servants because they work
like machines, never forgetting an or
der and doing exactly as they are told,
without presuming to think for them
selves. But once in awhile this literal
adherence to duty produces some awk-
ward results. An American woman
living in India, with native servants,
once told her butler to see that there
was always a napkin at the bottom of
the fruit dish, cake basket, ETC., when
these were brought to the table. The
napkin was thereafter always seen in
It's place. But one day tureen of
vegetable soup was served, and the
hostess began to WELD the long, old
fashioned silver ladle about in it.
Something very like fringed rag
made its appearance in the first plate
full. The butler was summoned to re-
move the dish. ut cannot be that the
mem sahib found no napkin at the
bottom" he hazarded, much distressed
because Of this unexplained disap
proval. "for I myself placed there the
largest one | could find"
