noon luncheon meeting that day,
but his name and subject are
said to be of such interest through

hold the meeting where q large au-

Leo Tolstoy was one of the great
Russian philosophers and reformers
and staunch friend of the peasant
class. His son, Count Ilya Tolstoy,
is an admirer of his fathers theories
and is carrying them to all parts of

Count Tolstoy has addressed
crowded auditoriums all over the
country on the subject of his coun-
try's unhappy plight. He was in
the turmoil of the original Russian
revolution and close to Kerensky
He is So years old, and has been
sixteen months away from his coun-

nothing of his mother or family
whom he left on his estate near

He was educated at the Univer-
sity of Moscow. Near Moscow the

Advice to the Lovelorn


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
A year ago 1 met young man and
after a short time he told me that he
took an interest in me, but 1 would not
trust in what he said. He dressed
stylishly and It gave me the wrong i'm
preston and l wondered why he should
be interested in a girl in my station
of life.
Since then have learned to care for
him and long for his friendship more
every day. 1 have been wondering
whether it would be proper for me to
write to him to remind him of me, as
he has been in the service and has come
home again and has asked my friends
about me.
I am afraid you have been little
morbid and self conscious about this
young man. I should certainly write
him nice friendly letter, saying you
are glad he is back home," and you
hope he will come to see you.

Misquoting Literature Is
Not Easily Detected
THE Nomad in the Boston
Transcript


Probably the error in quotation
which one meets every little while
in the prints of all the world, about
the burning of witches" at Salem,
should be classed rather as an error
OF quotation than as a historical
error. People who use the phrase
employ it as a current saying, with
out stopping to consider whether the
witches were really burned hanged,
guillotined. garroted, or in what
manner they were put to death.
People are simply the victims of the
phase. Other popular amendments
of the classics have passed into the
books themselves-as for instance
the amendment OF scott's lines:
Breathes there a man with soul so
dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
Instead of the dramatically more
correct:
That never to himself hath said.
BY the way, if you were reciting
"Casabianca," would you read:
The boy stood on the burning deck,
Whence all but him had fled
or
Whence all but he had fled?
Successive editions of Mrs. He
mans have the line in both forms.
in this case but" is used as a
proposition, in the case of except,
apparently requiring the objective
pronoun; but English literature is
full of instances in which the nom-
inative-"none but l." "all but he''
is used.
Another odd instance of misquota-
ton which will not down. Quoting
Z, 4 a
the winter of our discomfort" and
end the phrase there, as il Shake
speare had said: This is the winter
of our discomfort" But the phrase
runs straight on:
Now is the winter of our discomfort
Made glorious summer by this sun
of York.
We quote Shakespeare" "On
with his head! So much for Buck
ingham" Look in your Richard
III and see if You find so much
for buckingham" Colley Cibber in
terpolated that. "A weak invention
of the enemy is also Cibber. Clean
liness is next to godliness" is hal
lowed misquotation of Bacon. You
will not find in the Book of Familiar
Quotations, when in Rome. do as
the Romans do'-in that form. This,
however, is better than the form in
which you will find it.
The Nomad may note that when
Shakespeare used the phrase:
One touch of nature make the
whole world kin,
he did not employ it in our genial
and good sense at ALL but in exactly
the opposite sense-''nature" mean
ing weakness and error:
One touch of nature makes the
whole world kin
That all, with one consent,
praise new born gawds,
Though they are made and
moulded of things past:
And give to dust that is little gilt
More laud than gilt o'er-dusted
We think much better of nature
than Shakespeare did. To him, as
10 the old theolians men were by
nature the children of wrath.

ART CRITICISM

Arthur, age nine. returned from his
first visit to the John Heron Art Insti-
tute with such a depressed air that his
mother was puzzled.
Didn't you like it, dear?"
Not much. Mostly there were just
heads OF people cut off"
But you must have seen some pic
lures of animals and trees and lovely
country"
"Oh, few, but" in disgust, there
were more of people doing things they
shouldn't"
Doing things they shouldn't?"
"Yes. A lot of them had taken off
all their clothes, even their union suits

USES HOMEMADE
BOAT TO FLOAT
DOWN RIVER
Comes Hundreds of Miles
Only TO Be Arrested For
Carrying a Pile of Junk

Travelling more than three hun
dred miles of the Susquehanna river
between Binghamton, n. Y, and
this city in a boat which he had
built himself, only to be arrested
in this city while crossing Second
street carrying an old shotgun, a
rifle, a fencing rapier, several axes,
hatchet and divers other similar
articles, is the experience of William
Wallace, who claims Binghamton
as his home. He was arrested late
yesterday.
He had started from Binghamton
ten days ago, he said, to come down
the river to build a shanty some
where along it where he might live
and trap wild animals, whose fur
he intended to sell. But Harrisburg
police believe they are justified in
holding him on suspicion of entering
cottages along his route. Chief
Wetzel has gotten into communica-
tion with Binghamton authorities.
His homemade boat he had left
tied near the Market street bridge
on the Cumberland county side to
come to this city to sell some of the
goods, he said. At the time he was
arrested by officer Rineer, he was
carrying his arsenal" In a burlap
bag.
Ten-Day Trip
Ten days ago, he told the police
authorities, he left Binghamton to
come to this city and then to move
on nearer the bay where he intend
ed going into the fur business. He
had complete details as to how to
treat furs for sale written by hama
in a small book which he had on
his person at the time he was ar
rested
His boat is an exceptionally large
affair of a clumsy nature, officers
who went in the patrol across the
river to where he had 1t tied, say
In it they found, in addition to the
articles he had with him, another
rife, an air rifle, a twenty eight
pound bag of salt baking powder,
flour, half dozen large boxes of
matches, "a rude stove, a miners
lantern and other articles which he
said he intended to use when he
built his shanty.
Wallace, who is 10 years old, says
he has lived in Binghamton, n. Y,
for the past eighteen months and
before that he said he was n
'buEl." He had gotten tired of the
city, he said, and thought he would
prefer a life in the open and so he
started out. When queried as to how
he had crossed the rapids along the
river, he said he just sat in the
back end of the boat and "let her
60" The axes, he said, he would
| have used to cut himself loose if
| he had gotten fast while coming
| down the river. for he kept close
| to shore, he said.
When he started out, he had one
loaf of bread and $23 in money, he
! told the police, and on the way he
ate the loaf of bread and spent but
| forty cents for victuals, securing
the rest in the communities through
which he passed, he related. He
| pulled his boat to shore and slept
| wherever he CHANGED to be when
| nightfall came, he said.
