British Government Arranses to Feed
Tommy Atkins Well.
The British soldier is VIGOROUSLY fond
of his rations and, like every other sol
der, is poor fighter when his meals
do not appear with proper regularity.
So that Tommy Atkins may not be
kept a second late from his beef and
tea the army has rugged up novel
''galloping kitchen. a cooker on wheels,
which cooks as 1t goes and can rattle
along on its gun carriage over the
toughest roads horse can take, the
provender boiling away all the time.
There is a boiler divided into four
compartments, with a firebox below
nothing more. The arrangement could
not be simpler, and it saves the annoy
ance of setting up a whole cooking out
fit at every stop when the army Is on
a rapid march and also assures meal
to the detachment that is away from
camp on a scouting or skirmishing ex-
petition.

tor was known as a violent woman
hater, but the cause of his antipathy
was not fathomed until after his
death. In his win he explains that he
never married because modern women
are utterly ignorant of the principles
of cooking.
He leaves his entire fortune to the
municipality for the purpose Of estab-
fishing free cooking school in order
that young girls may be taught how
to prepare food In civilized manner.

generate when he wrote these books
as when he was an ornament of the
Russian court. He speaks of anna
Karenina" as poor, unworthy; he be-
lieves all his great early creative
works to be evil, loathsome In 1879
something happened to him-some-
thing which, in one form or another,
has happened to many great men. 1t
happened to Ignatius Loyola, to Jacob
Boehme, to st. Paul. And since then,
with a single exception esurrec-
tion"-Tolstoy wrote only polemic and
didactic books and articles.
Five Rules For Conduct.
Tolstoy, after his change of heart"
said he had discovered in the Sermon
on the Mount five laws which became
his rule for faith and conduct. He
summarized them as follows:
Live at peace with all men and do not
regard any one as your inferior.
Do not make the beauty of the body an
occasion for lust.
Every man should have only one wife
and every woman only one husband, and
they should not be divorced for any rea-
son.
Do not revenge yourself, and do not
punish because you think yourself insult
ed or hurt. Suffer all wrong and do not
repay evil with evil for you are all chill
dren of one Father
Never break the peace in the name Of
patriotism.
Whether Tolstoy lived up to the spir-
it of these rules is question that has
been variously answered There have
been ugly rumors in regard to the
real state of affairs at Yasnaya Poll
ana. A writer in the American Re
view Of Reviews couple Of years
ago said In reference to the famous
Russian author. mo man Is justified
in infiicting martyrdom upon an un-
willing wife and children whom he
loves" On the other hand, it has been
limited that the old man himself was
the real martyr" his life was
made well nigh intolerable.

RAT DIES WAITING FOR
RED TAPE TO KILL HIM.
Teacher Forced to Feed Pest Until
Rat Catcher Could Call.

The following story Of red tape is
hard to beat even In the very cradle of
Prussian off1cialdom. Not long ago the
head mistress of high school for girls
notified the authorizes that there was
a rat on the premises and asked that
q man might be sent to kill it.
The request was duly noted, but as
the official rat catcher was not immedi-
ately available the head mistress was
advised to feed the beast in the mean
time so that the rat catcher should not
make a fruitless journey.
This she did for some weeks, and as
the rat>killer did not put In an appear
ance she made a second application.
The original request, she was inform
ed, had been mislaid, but help would
be sent in few days. Weeks passed,
and one day the rat was found dead
and was buried In the garden in the
presence Of the head mistress.
A day or so later an official carrying
a bundle of documents Sin the matter
of the rat" brought message to the
effect that the head mistress should
take steps to destroy the rat at her
own expense, as the official rat catcher
could not come before the end Of No
vember.
Upon being informed that the rat
was dead and buried the official re-
tired, but came back the next day ask
ing for a written certificate to show
that the rat was really dead. He got
it, and the administrative machine is
once more working smoothly.

or her assistance he wrote to a
friend, "She is by no means a trifer,
but is an earnest helpment to me-"
Later on in his career, when his
striving after simplicity possessed him,
a change came over their life. But it
was impossible for him to readjust
himself and the family wholly to the
new order. He could not cut himself
of from his wife and family. In 1881
his eldest son entered the university
and his eldest daughter was intro
duced to society. It was necessary fae
the family to spend more time In the
city.
But this town life brought on a re-
volt, and few years later he re-
nounced all claims to bis lands and
made over everything to his wife and
children, the countess acting as trus-
tse. Yet he continued to lire in the

present Countess Sophie in 1861. He
was a peasant at heart, and his life
had been devoted largely to the better
ment Of the peasantry, which motive
was the inspiration of the major part
of his writings.
The picture, suggested by the cable
dispatches, Of an old man in his eighty
second year wandering off into the
woods to die alone and the wife who
has shared his trials and victories for
half century, forlorn and deserted,
attempting to drown herself and then
following her husband and nursing
him-this was the tragedy of the Count
and Countess Tolstoy.
Countess Tolstoy is a woman of fine
breeding and education. Her maiden
name was Sophia Behrs, and she was
the second daughter of a Moscow ply
stefan with large practice among the
nobility. The Tolstoy and Behrs fam
lilies had long been intimate, the moth
er of the present count and Sophia's
mother having been schoolgirl friends.
1t was after Tolstoy had served in
the Crimean war and had already
achieved some renown as an author
and while he was recovering from an
illness at his old home at Yasnaya Po-
llama that the Behrs family made q
visit to the Tolstoys and young Toll
stoy and Sophie had an opportunity to
see good deal of each other. After
she left Tolstoy became restless. He
realized that he was in love, and his ar
dent and persistent suit finally removed
all objections, and the marriage took
place on Sept %, 1851.
Marriage Delighted Tolstoy.
Tolstoy installed his bride at his old
home. He was happy in his new life
and shortly after his marriage wrote a
friend that he "felt like a new man."
Some years later he wrote in his Con
fession:" 1.-THE new condition of hap
by family circle led me away from my
researches into the meaning of life.
Ny whole mind became concentrated
on the family-on the mother, the chill
dren, the anxiety to provide due means
of subsistence. The effort after perfec-
ton resolved itself into the effort to
insure the happiness of my offspring"
They had sixteen children, the first
being born in June, 1868. Tolstoy de-
voted himself to the education and
rearing of his family in conformity
with the requirements Of his social po-
sition. He did not depart from the
traditional customs nor attempt to in
troduce any innovations, as might
have been expected.
Tolstoy did not attempt to apply his
idea of free option in study to his own
children. But he entered with interest
into their games and pastimes, taking
them with him on his hunting and

.NoAH's ARK CALLED FABLE.
Chicago Rabbi Calls Biblical Geological
Excursion IMPOSSIBLE


The browning nature fake Is the
Biblical story of Noah's rescue of ami
mails from the great flood, according
to statement by DIR. Emil G.. Hirsch
of Sinai temple, Chicago.
There may have been Noah," said
DR.. Hirsch, "but the inundation story
is the most palpable sort of myth.
Even If there had been the food men,
toned by the Bible and Noah really
built an enormous ark for the safe
conveyance of the favored people and
the beasts, 1t would have been a phys
ical impossibility for such a large
group of living things to have survived
voyage in single vessel.
"The primitive people of the earth
were as impressionable as children to-
day. They would easily give credence
to such a tale as that of Noahs voyage
and pass it down to their children.
But today we must accept it only as
pretty fabrication"

ON DEATH.

Think of death more often and
live as If you were to die soon.
However you may hesitate how to
act, imagine that you are to die in
the evening, and your doubts will
clear away Immediately. You will
see clearly what your duty ts and
what your personal desires are.
You envy another; you are indig-
nant, angry at him; you want to
wreak your vengeance on him.
Consider that today or tomorrow
that man will die, and not trace
will be left Of your evil feelings
against him.
Death Is more Inevitable than the
approach OF night. Of winter. Why,
then, while preparing for the night,
for winter, do we not prepare our
selves for death? The preparation
for death is a righteous life. The
better the life we lead the smaller
the fear Of death. For the holy
there is no death.
Just as the owner Of the fig tree
knows the time when the fruit is
ripe so God knows when to call the
righteous from this world.
Strive to keep your life at point
where you neither fear death nor
desire It.

TIE ISSUE OF TRANSFERS.

IL 49GCE Vt 4 ENkA1Sa51 IND.

Traction Company has been settled by
the decision OF the Supreme Court sub
nlitfed at its session held in New Or
leans Monday.
The city. through Mayor Dickson,
sought to obtain from the people trans
fers from the Traction Company based
on the clause Of the Lorenz franchise.
The conclusion Of the court is that the
obligation to grant universal transfers
eesalId Be imposed on a street railway
company BIZ the city Of Shreveport only
IS a matter of contract, and, as the de-
fendant has not either expressly or inn
pIiedIy given eits consent to such con-
tract it can not be compelled to grant

Although the decision is against the
city, Mayor Dickson is entitled to the
fullest credit for having done what he
considered, and unquestionahly was, his
dirty as ali Official representing the best
interests Of the people.

desirable concessions from the city, the

respondent and stops or even turns
back when only slight effort was
necessary for him to attain his

Do not seek the love Of other peo-

not love you for the good that is in
you. Strive to please God. not man.
