FEW REAL BOOK STORES
Count Tolstoy Struck by Lack of
Good Literature Here.

In my country as In the other
parts of Europe. nobody need have
any difficulty in finding book stores
In small towns or in large cities. Here
one can find a cigar store. a drug
store. all kinds of shops where lux
uries can be purchased. but the seek
ing on bookshop Is cften very hard
quest. Even in New York II is hard
to find real book store where the
attendants know their authors and
can help one select the books that
one needs on any subject. There are
some. but none too many. They ctih
be counted on tho fingers of ones
hand.
In smaller cities the task of finding
books is n hopeless one. There are a
few stores where books are sold; but
what books? Novels mostly, the aS-
orage ephemeral romance. magazines
with too many i'll conceived articles
containing little upbuilding criticism
of public life, much i'll digested in
formation; and newspapers which af-
ford little of Intellectual value, being
mostly mediums OF advertising. Amer
lean literature is yet poor. The good
magazines are few when compared
with European reviews. The Inherit
ance of mankind, the universal lltera-
ture. Is hardly known here. There
are translations in sets, richly bound.
but cheaply produced, and too often
done by hack writers who do not even
understand what they translate. They
are bad TRANSACTIONS as rule, but
costly. Poor people are not able TO
buy them.
Even In Russia, In the country
which Americans think uncivilzed.
we have translations OF all the world 5
great writer's. These editions are ap-
propriate TO the means OF the people.
They can be bought for prices from
one to five cents. 1t Is the same In
England The result Is that the
people read only newspapers and mag
azlnes. In Russia. for the same price,
we can build n library OF great books.
Tho best works OF Pushkin. Dickens,
Shakespeare. Dante. Cervantes. Goe-
the. Tolstoy. Heine. Victor Hugo, and
countless others are at the disposal OF
the poorest -Tolstoy in Century.

ARTFUL TELEPHONE VISITS
Man at the Risky End "f the Lane
Needs Only to Affirm.

Tho artful telephone conversation Is
the result OF any situation similar 10
that I'm which "A man Is placed Wheh ne

Now. that doesn't sound very in

auutie could hear the other end of the
conversation, they would be inexprcss-
ibly shocked. For in the first place.
Jones, at the other end OF the line, is

MOTHER NATURE SURVIVES
VIOLENT FLAMES OF WAR
Among Live After Horrible
Battles.

The following Is taken from a letter
written by an officer In France:
Il am writing this In "A dugout,
where | have been for few days. !
believe there are birds nests on the
top of this humble dwelling; anyhow.
often hear the birds twittering away
and every morning a lark gets up just
outside and sings away merrily. The
weather is beautiful and everyone is
fit and well.
II remember rcmarking in one of
my letters home how the effect OF our
intense bombardment is so tremendous
that one wonders whether anything In
the earth is left alive. That was in the
winter. Now that spring Is here one
sees that practically everything in the
old mother earth is as vigorously alive
as ever Mans work goes to pieces.
but even the most intense shelling Is
but mere scratch on the surface OF
the earth. The birds live their life Just
the same and the field mice and other
small creatures make their homes and
play about In shell holes. Swallows
are flying overhead. magpics hop about
on trees and ruined shanties as cheek
ily as possible. The other day | was
startled by whirr OF wings, and II
couple of partridges got up from some
hiding place and whizzed across tho
broken up ground.
Everywhere the green grass Is
shooting up thru the earth. even trees
which seem To have been stripped to
mere bare poles are now sending out
twigs and leaves Mine craters and
huge shell holes are fun of tiny plant
life. over buildings. now mere heaps
OF stone. one can see the ivy and other
creepers sprouting afrcsh and grad
ually covering the ruined heap. SO
| the normal life OF natural things goes
on. practically normally, in spite OF
/ high explosive and poisoned gas and
other dcvilish inventions. |
/ think that this big fact Is one OF the
1 things that keep men sane under ny
/ ing conditions-the fact that the faco
OF nature hasn't altered.
81 remember some while ago sitting
/ in a shell hole; II was the place I had
chosen for my work. and | was some
days and nights there. The show.
during which the earth seemed little
more than "A chaos of flame and burst
ing shells was ovcr-that IL to say.

done up with excitement ana fatigue.
| Presently | heard a small sound, and

played about and presently the little
beggar was frisking about Mt the bot

on stealing my ratlons. When he

MACEDONIAN SENSE OF HUMOR.

bulgarian Cruelty.

had gone to the Macedonian town

who was inquiring into the recent be-
havior of the Bulgarians. writes Her
bert Corey. We held court In a cow
stable during n pouring rain.
Outside n German prisoner wan

ton. He had lost his wits completely
during the battle. He fumbled about
aimlessly Sometimes he stood oppo-
site the open door of our COW stable,
the tears on his cheeks minglirg with
tho rain Wounded men lay on the
sopping straw.
A dozen or so compact. sturdy,
cheerful little French soldiers also
dried their clothing at the fire which
smoked on the dirt floor. A notably
sullen priest stood by. A peasant told
the village story.
The Bulgarians were unkind 10
our father here" said he, indicating
the pope. ALSO they were cruel TO
us" The pope sneered ostentatiously.
| have never seen n pope who seemed
on such bad terms with his parish
fners. He half turned to go away.
Then he turned back. as tho to listen
to the story.
THE Bulgarians said they would
hang our pope at noon II we did not
give them 200 dinars." said the peas
ant. impresively. II seemed to me
that he did not meet the eye OF the
pope.
What did you do7" asked the Ser
bian officer who was conducting the
examination. The peasant explained
that they were poor folk at Slivitska,
They did not have 200 dinars. Fur
thormore. most OF the people Of Sill
vitska had hidden In the hills when
the Bulgarians came.
$50 the only thing we could do FOR
our father" said the peasant, suaveiy,
was to ask the Bulgarians to post
pone the event until o'clock. That
would give our people time to come In
from the hills and SEQ our father
