Tolstoi and Bcverldge.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg the
other day announced something very
much out of the common.
It was tho meeting of Count Leo
Tolstoi with the Hon. "Bub" Bever
idge of Indiana. Details of tho rneet
lng, owing, perhaps, to high vablo
rates, were omitted, but there is no
doubt that the Russian philanthropist,
reformer, novelist, poet, dramatist,
philosopher and 'apostle of altruism
was duly and deeply Impressed by the
distinction of meeting one of the most
copious emitters of language that over
operated a noise-mill in the halls of
congress.
In the dispatch "Bub" related some
of the things Tolstoi said to him, but
failed to reveal any of the things he
said to Tolstoi, probably for the rea

speeches and Interviews.
He said: "I conversed privately with
him for two hours. Although we dis
agreed in many of our opinions, wo
parted good friends."
There shone forth the real Beverldg
ean magnanimity!
The Russian philosopher hardly
agreed with the honorable "Bub's" doc
trine that the United States should
grab every piece of land in the world
that has not the means of protecting
itself from forcible seizure and com
pulsory civilization; but "Bub" would-
not get angry with tho unenlightened,

who fooliBhly believes that the com
mandment that forbids taking what
belongs to another is binding on na

The Prodigal's Return.
(By Father Democracy.)
Fill high the foaming beaker, and lift
the roof with noise!
My prodigals are coming back, my
dear repentant boys;
My Buckeye sons who wandered off
into the camp of pelf,
And traded off their birthright for tho
jam on Hanna's shelf.
And now they're crawling back again;
they've just been on a lark;
Their Democratic character's indorsed
by Uncle Mark.
So kill tho fattest heifer and rub tho
silver briglft
For the bravo McKinley Democrats
are coming home tonight.
Stand back, yo tattered grenadiers,
wjio fought in '90,
And let tho runaways perform with all
their patent tricks!
Stand back, ye sons who never flinch
in danger and defeat,
And clear a space for prodigals upon
the Mercy seat.
In silken hose and golden laco and
garments Hanna-made,
They'll be a dazzling spectacle upon
tho big parade.
So kill the fullest heifer and rub tho
silver bright
For the brave McKinley Democrats are
coming home tonight.
And to make sure the truant lads will
care no more to roam,
Dress up a mealy platform to keep
them safe at home.
Touch lightly on taxation, and trusts
and conquest wrongs, , ,
And greet them with a roundelay of
merry Marcus songs.
Tune up the Jackson fiddles and blow
tho Thurman horn!
We'll have a rag time jubilee that lasts
till early morn.
Then pass tho foaming beaker and rub
the silver bright
For tho bravo McKinley Democrats are
coming home tonight.
S. B. P., in Press-Post.
