more thoroughly even than Tolstoy Clad
in sheepskins, korolenko tramps thou
sands of miles in conditions of dirt and
discomfort beara BILE only by man WHO
has lived for years in Yakut huts. He
has marched with a mob of peasants be-
hind the famous 1kon of the Oransk Nir-
GIN tramped the wild Wetlusa and wan
dered all over Nizni-NovSorod province.
One of his great tramos was to the al
most unknown Lake of Svietloyer. where
orthodox sectarians far from police per-
secution. hold del ates oh mystical themes.
korolenko describes such pilgrimages in
his stories and sketches. Here You see
the moujik painted truthfully as he is, but
with endless pity. Every line of what
korolenko writes" SAYS Tolstoy. is an
appeal for the worlds most miserable,
most neglected people
On his pilgrimages korolenko has been
arrested, assaulted. shot at. Once in a
scurvy-stricken village he was taken for
an expected god. and after he had cured
the sufferers was shot at for wanting to
leave. In Perm province during the
epidemic he was nearly killed by foolish
peasants. who imagined he was denounc-
ing them to the police. In reality he was
writing petitions demanding that doe
tor be sent to help.
Korolenko's close knowledge of peasant
conditions makes him an authority on
the question of organizing aid during
famine and of curing the land hunger
which is the cause of famine. He went
as organizer to the great famine of 1872
and managed brilliantly the relief centers.
AT present he is conducting a scheme
for settling landless peasants from the
oyercrowded Black Earth district of South
Russia on new lands which will be re-
claimed in the provinces of Saratoff and
Samara This is a hard task. but koro-
lenko knows what he is about He pro-
poses to transplant some of the Tolstoyan
peasants. and has obtained the assist

reaucratic statistical reports on which is
based the present mistaken land legisla-
ton.
Russia looks on Korolenko as the never
failing champion of the innocent and the
oppressed His pen is at the service of
the weak. Scores of pamphlets and hum
dreds of articles have been written by
him in inst causes Having sharp nose

of law korolenko generally succeeds.

That was crime. His colleagues at the
Petrovsk Academy induced him to take
the lead in petitioning the rector against
scholastic abuses. For this koroenko

again his lodgings were searched. but
nothing was found. Next he was sent to
a village farther north. He lived by cob

spirit he was one dark night seized and
sent 10 Tomsk. in Siberia. In Tomsk he
was kidnapped ON suspicion and eXiled to
the barren Yakutsk territory. the coolest
province on earth. Three years he lived
their filthy "yurtas." He added ikon
painting to cobblins and learned to love
his hosts.
Korolenko returned to civilization and
the Volga city, Nizni-Novgorod. He
brought back amazingly close knowledge
of the moujik. of the non-Russian tribes
of the eastern provinces and of Siberia.
