? THE peasants of Russia had their way in the bestowing of a title upon Count Leo Tolstoi, he would be known as the Most-Beloved Leo Tolstoi. For there is no man in the world who has so many friends among the plebeians. Still Tolstoi is immensely wealthy, but that does not interfere with the great life work which has now nearly drawn to a close.

He is now 80 years old and while in good health at the time of this writing, his passing is but a matter of a few months or years. There are two sides to this great man. One is Leo Tolstoi, the artist, and the other —Leo Tolstoi, the man. As the artist he has written fearless works and the person or clique which has fallen under the scathing attack of his pen has seldom been known to boast of it. There is no disputing his rank as the best known of living authors. Also he is the most generally read and recognized. He has attained the highest pinnacle of fame in the literary field and it cannot be said that he craved fame, either. Best of all, Tolstoi is a friend of all Americans. 'The traveler from the United States, visiting Russia, is as welcome at the Yasnaya Polyana estate of Russia’s great man, as if he were in his own home. America likes Tolstoi, too, for the author is the most democratic of men. I It Is told of him that he spurns all worldly luxuries, even going so far as to have two tables set within his home at each meal —one resplendent with fancy edibles, while the other is stocked •with simple food of the peasantry. Friends of his ■•daughters and sons are always welcomed at the more prosperous looking board, while in the same room, Tolstoi, seated alongside of his wife, par- । takes of the necessities of life as an ordinary plebeian would. However, his children, having been brought up to the luxuries of life, are allowed to gratify their every whim, and he never allows his beliefs to step between them and happiness. In •that respect he is an ideal father and he has been . praised the world over for his broad-minded man- ! ner of treating others who do not believe as he '•does. He is also what Americans call a “mixer,” but ■ in an entirely different sense. He meets the poor of Russia on their own level, and, except for the ’ fact that he often scatters money at their feet, one would never suspect his wealth. There are no strings attached to Tolstoi's gifts, and thousands •of beneficences to Russians in general, while the benefactor’s name is a secret, are popularly laid at the door of this great man. To be a friend of the Russian peasant up to a few years ago meant to be an enemy of the gov- ; ■ernment. Upon several occasions Tolstoi’s outcry against oppression of the czar’s subjects has placed ' him behind the grimy walls of Slav dungeons, but 1 he always returned to continue the work which he : .has so ably accomplished. i He ts a social reformer of the first water and ■ many of the acts of justice which the Russian government of late years has accomplished can be traced back to the work of Tolstoi. As a literary artist the count is dead. His demise was a literary suicide, and it occurred 33

THE SENSE OF DISTANCE

A Pleasure Mr. Glimmerton Finds When He Takes His Vacation. “One of the things that I go on my vacation for, one of the chief things,” said Mr. Glimmerton, “is distance; the r< freshing, reviving, expanding power of distance. The change to new scenes, as any change whatever is al■ways sure to be, is helpful; but the broadening, uplifting, clarifying effect,

years ago, when he himself declared that his great creative works were unworthy and altogether evil. Here is his own account of the split in his life: “I had tried to test science and modern culture, and I have turned from them with a feeling of repulsion because of the inability of the first to solve the really important problems of life and because of the hollowness and falseness of the second.” By becoming chummy with the peasant Tolstoi declares he turned to frankness, simplicity and essential kindness, and he says he is to-day nearer mother earth than ever in his life. He declares the peasant, typically, is the ideal Christian. And thus since 1875 his writings have been almost exclusively polemic and didactic. To-day Count Leo Tolstoi is a large, heavilybuilt man with unusually long arms, hanging loosely at his sides, with a wide nose, somewhat thick lips, small gray eyes, a head set on bulky but slightly stooping shoulders and a matted white beard. He possesses an air of strength that is found in few great men. The power that, one finds in him is both mental and physical, and hence of the durable sort. One of this man’s great themes is the Sermon on the Mount, In this he has declared that he found five laws of God and he has made them his rules for faith and conduct throughout the later years of his life. These laws are summarized as follows: Live in peace with all men and do not regard any man as your superior. Do not make the beauty of the body an occasion for lust. Every man should have one wife and every woman one husband, and they should not be divorced for any reason. Do not revenge yourself and do not punish others because you think yourself insulted or hurt. Suffer all wrong and do not repay with evil for you are all the chiidren of one father. Never breakthe peace in the name of patriotism.

the effect in which we find the greatest enjoyment and by which we store up the greatest renewal of strength for the future, we get through our sense of distance. “We are so shut up in the city, outrange of vision is so limited; live where we will or go where we will here and our sight stops short at walls.

out into the open country, where we can see past houses, how grateful does the distance seem! “But I get this sense best at a quiet place where I go in the mountains, where I can sit and look down a long, broad lake with mountains rolling away on either hand and beyond. The change, I know, from the city is great and delightful; but the thing that gets me here, and releases me, is the distance. “Daily, hourly, I come back to this view, to expel what lingering traces

DThE COLff^T _ AND ATAdYOd V \TH£OCCA6/ONOf Ae’ /j What Tolstoi has dune h r th i■ c pie of his time in Russia is to be found in the dress, customs and habits of the lower classes oi fibat absolute monarchy, but the critics say that right in his home his own teachings have had little effect. The answer which close frieiyls of the count give to that assertion is that Russia’s benefactor Is too broad-minded to make his home a martyrdom and to Inflict his beliefs upon his wife and children if they do not care to abide by them. So while Tolstoi has spent his life oi the greater part of it in preaching the doctrine of poverty and non-resistance,

his children were reared on the great estate and from the first their lot was that of the aristocrat. They married “well,” and are said to have completely renounced his views. It is told of Tolstoi that his wife has always managed to “slip a piece of velvet under her husband's crown of thorns just when he wishes to press it to his head most heavily.” That might be termed an inconsistency, but surely it is not the count's choice. The work which some of the critics of other nations scoff at has reached from the thatched hut of the poorest peasant clear to the palace of the emperor himself. For the sake of peace also, Tolstoi has accomplished a great work. The first Hague conference, which made history, would probably never have been called had it not been for the persistent gospel of this friend of the populace at large. Tolstoi saw that the eventual result of his teachings would be some sort of a world's peace gathering and he expressed gratification when Czar Nicholas called the initial session of the body over which the dove of peace was destined to perch. No church in the world, it is recorded, carried out as petrified a ritual as that of the Slav. Today, chroniclers tell us. there exists a tendency towards softening of the customs of religion in the czar's country. Teachings of simplicity by Tolstoi will be accorded the honor for this change if it is eventually wrought. Humane treatment of prisoners and philanthropic moves of the immensely wealthy men of Russia are also laid to theUvork of the count. Tolstoi tasted the bitter cup oty imprisonment himself and he was well prepared to go about that work with a zest born of actual experience. Simple moral truths have been the axioms of Tolstoi throughout his later years and while skeptical persons call his idea 0 impracticable their defender could, were he not all too modest, point to the works which have followed in the wake of his unique, quaint gospel.

may be left in me of the contraction of the city and to expand anew in this great spaciousness through rhe sense of distance. Space has no care nor confinement, but only freedom. And what joy and relief to be where one can cast off all chains and be free! “Any change is good for us; but the greatest joy in change that conies to me is through the sense of distance.” —N. Y. Sun. The man who wants gold has got to dig for it, but the trouble is some folks don't enjoy a pick and shovel.

INDIANA STATE NEWS Happenings of General Interest in All Parts of the Hoosier Commonwealth.

FREIGHT RATES TO INCREASE. । Railroads Seek to Put New Charges in Effect in Indiana. Indianapolis.—Shippers in all parts । of Indiana are watching with renewed interest the proposal which has very , recently been made to renew the disj cussion as to general increases in 1 freight rates in the middle west. । Word was received from Chicago i that the much mooted increase in i freight rates in what is known as the : official classification territory, north j of the Ohio river and east of the Mis- ! sissippi river, would be put into effect ' January 1 if the interested railroad men have their way. The proposed increase, however, as talked of now, will be about three per cent, and not ten per cent, as was proposed about a year ago when shippers generally rose up in arms against the increases. | Fred W. Upham of Chicago, who is | chairman of the committee of fifteen representing shippers in the territory interested, has announced that i W. C. Brown, vice-president of the New York Central lines, told him in a conference they held that the railroads in the territory named proposed to increase the rates, but told him that the proposed increases would be about i three per cent, and not ten per cent., as was proposed when the shippers of the territory succeeded temporarily in blocking the proposed increases. This was at a meeting held in May at I which representative commercial organizations of the territory in question had delegates. Charge Sons Hid Mother.

Gibson, recently appointed guardian of Mary Ann Bowers. Solons Visit Hospital. Richmond. — Every attention was shown the legislative committee ; when it visited the Eastern Indiana Hospital for the Insane Friday.

Smith, medical superintendent, will not request any appropriations out of the ordinary this year. Bee Trees Are Numerous. , Morocco. — Hunters and wood chop- . pers say that every other hol- . low tree contains bees and a good- [ ly store of fine honey this winter, and , not a few choppers, it is said, before starting to the timber equip them- ! selves with pails and tubs, so confi- . dent are they of coming across a bee , tree. The honey is said to be of an t exceptionally tine quality, many, many | preferring it to “tame” honey. ( Butcher Is Repentant. i Warsaw,—Because his conscience j hurts him a former resident of Akron has caused to be inserted in various newspapers in this vicinity I the following announcement: “I want to make restitution and beg pardon ? of the people through the newspapers. , When I was in the butcher business in Akron.

STATE CLUBS HOLD A SESSION. Merchants Complete Federation and Hear Addresses at Banquet. Richmond.—One of the interesting features of the session of the Indiana Federation of Clubs, which was made a permanent organization, was the spirited contest in reference to the next meeting place. Anderson, Marion, Gary and Connersville were in the fight. Gary, especially, has been active to land the meeting and at the same time advertise the steel town. Connersville considered its location and other things much to its advantage. Apparently the movement that has resulted in this meeting is to prove an entire success.

PE-RU-NA “.Aii" s 1 19 K i ill * ■ EL jj MR. WM. F. VAHLBERG. i Mr. M illiam F. Vahlberg, Oklahoma ! City, Okla., writes: ‘•One bottle of Penina which I have taken did more toward relieving me of an aggravated case of catarrh of the stomach, than years of treatment with the best physicians. “I had given up hopes of relief, and only tried Peruna as a last resort. ‘ I shall continue using it, as I feel satisfied it will effect an entire and permanent cure. ‘ ‘I most cheerfully recommend Peruna to all who may read this.” Peruna is usually taken as a last resort. Doctors have been tried and failed. Other remedies have been used. ' Sanitariums have been visited. Travel has been resorted to. | At last Peruna is tried. Relief is found. This history is repeated over and over again, every day in the year. It is such results as this that gives Peruna ’ its unassailable hold upon the people. | We could say nothing that would add • force to such testimonials as the above. That people who have had catarrh and j have tried every other remedy available. find relief in Peruna, constitutes the best argument that could be made.
