TOLSTOY'S LACK OF TENDERNESS

Count Ilya Tolstoy in the Century,
There was one distinguishing and.
at first sight, peculiar trait in M
fathers character, due perhaps to the
fact that he grew up without a moth
err and that was that all exhibitions of
tenderness were entirely foreign to
him.
! say tenderness" in contradistinc-
ton to heartiness. Heartiness he had
and in very high degree.
His description of the death of my
Uncle Nikolia is characteristic. In
letter to his other brother.
sergei Nikolayevitch in which he de-
scribed the last day of his brothers
life, my father tells how he helped him
to undress.
HE submitted, and became a differ
ent man. He had n word
of praise for everybody, and said To
me, Thanks. my friend You under
stand the significance of the words as
between us two"
1t is evident that in the language of
the Tolstoy brothers the phrase my
friend was an expression Of tender
ness beyond which imagination could
not go. The words astonished my
father even on the lips of his dying
IN ether.
During all his lifetime | never re-
ccved any mark of tenderness from
him whatever.
lie was not fond Of kissing children,
and when he did so in saying good
morning or good night he did it mere
ly as duty.
IL IS therefore easy to understand
that he did not provoke any display of
tenderness toward himself, and thar
nearness and dearness with him wer'
never accompanied by any outwgd
manifestations.

GOOD REPORTS

From the reports that are being re-
ceived from the different sections of the
county it is evident that the people are
fully aroused and have made up their
minds to devote the two days to the i'm
provement OF the county roads. In many
OF the towns they are perfecting organi-
cations and selecting their captains. This
is the best evidence that can be submitted
as TO progressive citizenship.
We are sorry, however, to note that a
few object to working the county roads
in the manner in which the Governor
has designated. Their contention is that
they will receive no benefit from it,
In this they are sadly mistaken. There
is not man, woman or child in the
state who will not be benefited by good
roads. We might give many illustrations
to prove the benefits of good roads. One
OF the objections advanced Is that the
man who does not own q horse, buggy,
wagon, bicycle or automobile will not be
benefited. Those who make such decla-
rations fail to take into consideration that
one OF the items which enters into the
high cost of living is transportation. II
the farmer has to use four horses to
transport his product to market he must
necessarily have to charge more for the
product than il he could have hauled il
to market with one or two horses. The
wear and tear of the wagon on the rough
road is much more than on the smooth
road. In such cases are not the workmen
benefited by good roads? 1t would sim
ply be waste of time to argue that there
is any class OF people who are exempt
from the benefits OF good roads. Besides,
1t Is an established fact that no cummu-
nifty can rise above its citizenship. III the
citizenship OF any town, county, state
and nation is of the progressive type, il
will be found that it is keeping step by
step with the age OF progress. II that
spirit of progress does not prevail you
will find the people still living in the
past century. For is it not fact that
when we speak OF town, city, county OF
state we are simply speaking Of the PEG
pie? They make the town, city, etc.
The county court has wisely taken the
Initiative in the matter of organization.
1t is now up to the people to put their
shoulder TO the wheel and render that
assistance which will make it absolutely
certain that there will be no failure in
Preston.

Memorial Day Celebration

Morgantown has always made much of
the celebration of Memorial Day, May
30th, but in recent years, the ranks OF the
veterans OF the War OF the States have
thinned so rapidly that the citizens are
deeply concerned lest the observance lose
something Of its impressiveness and
popularity. The problem was a perplex-
ing one, but the Hoffman Post No. 81.
G.. "A. r., has solved it, For the first
time this year, two expert motion picture
operators, with the best cameras. have
been engaged, and the proceedings OF the
day will be faithfully recorded This
announcement has had remarkable
effect. In these days, everybody is a
motion picture tan, or ought TO be, and
the announcement that the Memorial Day
parade in Morgantown is 70 be re-
produced in motion pictures, has resulted
IN dozens Of organizations. military, civic
and iraternal, asking for places in the line
Of march. Through years TO come, the
movements Of every veteran who marched
to the City Of the Dead for the last time
10 honor the memory Of the comrades ne
was soon 10 join OF the other shore, will
be reproduced. Every man in the parade
will have chance to see himself az
others see him.
II is predicted that Morgantown will
have the biggest and best observance Of
Memorial Day in its history. All the
ceremonies that make the day worth
while have been carefully planned, and
will be Of a character long 10 be re-
membered
In addition 10 the parade, addresses by
distinguished orators, band concerts, and
other features, there will be a Camp Fire
for veterans and visitors in the afternoon.
One Of the features Of the days entertain.
ment will be the baseball game in the
afternoon between West Virginia Uni
yersity and Bucknell.
Arrangements have been made for
excursion rates and special trains on all
railroads.
