OIL KING REVELS
In ROSY CHEEKS.
Will Yet Live to Be a Gen.
tenafian.

Tarrytown, n. Y. November To-
John d. Rockefeller is getting young
again. This morning he came down
to the Baptist church and he brought
five friends with him. While waiting
for the friends to get out of the car
riage he noticed a woman approaching
the church. entrance. With wonderful
akilityl me gave a quick jump and
fairly hoped up the step and, open>
ing the door, held it until the woman
passed in. Then he helped his guests.
Mr.. Rockefeller looks to be in bet
ter health than in many years. He has
a rudy color and his movements are
not as slow as in former years. He is
strong and active, and he owes the re-
turn Of his health to golf and auto
MODELLING, which sports he enjoys ey-
cry day, no matter what the weather
is. Tie assertion that he will live to
be 100 years old looks good on the
face Of things.

ToLSTOf AND LUXURY.

A pathetic spectacle is that of the
aged County Tolsto7 deserving his
me and family TO pass his remaining
days in exile and solitude. The casual
observer is apt to SAY He's in his
dotage", then pass the matter by.
The facts in the life Of Count Tol-
stoi. however, do not seem to justify
this criticism of the venerable noble
man, who has been noted for his I'M
.swerying loyalty to his ideals. His
present actions seem but a logical re-
suit of his past life.
The members of his own family are
authorities for the statement that there
Is no doubt that the count is in his
right mind, Though he is far advane-
ed in years, reason seems not TO have
deserted him. Then we are led to
the conclusion that his most recent
actions are but another step made By
Count Tolstoi toward the realization OF
his own conception of duty and his
own philosophy of life.
Count Tolstoi is attempting to apply
the teachings of Christianity in a prac-
teal way. He has been singularly
exemplary in this particular in has
pas tlife, as he has made simplicity
the keynote of ms living. His voice
has always been raised against lux
ury in living, and his own life, the
greatest sermon he could preach, has
voiced eloquently the spirit of the
man. Dressed in the coarse garb
of tie peasant, he has lived for years
on buttermilk and black bread, his
heart beating in unison with that 81
the Russian peasantny around him.
One is reminded in reading of Count
Tolstoi's life of St Simeon Stylites
and the early Christian fathers. While
the man of today cannot but look on
the action of St. Simeon in moritfy-
ing the flesh as one that suTpasses
the bounds of reason, the life of the
Russian nobleman is being ordered tC
| teach the same lesson to present-day
humanity in more senI5le way. His
life is a protest against the needless
extravaganza and luxury that curses
Russia and grinds the Russian peas,
ant in the dust
1t was with Emerson and his con
temporaries in tip Transcendental
school of thinkers in New England
that the expression, plain living and
high thinking originated. and the
New England eXemplars of this lofty
sentiment were men to be honored
among men. In Russia today Count
Tolstoi is reviving the principles OF
the simple life. With it's horde oil
idle rich and its down4trodden and
debased peasantry, what country needs
more the example of Tolstoi than
Russia does?

WILL SPEAKER DRIVE
THOSE MULES
Champ Clark Expected to
Keep His Promise.


Washington, d. G., November Il :
Wsll Champ Clark drive the team Of
Missouri mules down Pennsylvania
avenue.
Some months ago he assured his con
stituents he would in the event a
Democratic house were elected. Since
then has arisen protest against so
''undignifed" performance.
Washington is deeply interested,
particularly the Democrats of tLe dis
triet. But it was discovered yesterday
that they are divided DIS to whether
the probable speaker should gee" and
'haw' through the length of the ave-
nue.. On the other hand, emphatic as
surance is given that the representa-
tive will surely keep his promise and
that the exhibition will give needed
touch OF genuine democratic Ameri-
canism to the national capital. One
suggestion is that a parade shall fol-
low the mule team and wagon and
another that the drive take place in
the evening, and that it be attended
with a grand torohiight procession as
in the olden times.
The opposing view is that the man
who is likely to BE elevated to one of
the most distinguished places in tie
country should lend himself to no such
folly" The critics describe the pro-
posed mule drive as .'horse-play," a
descent from the dignity of lofty sta
ton calculated to invite only ridicule
and contempt.
