t THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 8, I91S. TOLSTOY GUIDED BY DIVINITY SAYS DIARY Russian Author Requests All to Refrain From Eulogies of Him After Death. FIRST WILL MADE IN 1895 Late Distinguished Novelist Writes of How Impurity of Early Life, He Felt, Served to Obscure Expression of Truth. PARIS, Dec 7. One of the most striking sentences In the dairy of the late Count Leo Tolstoy (which la printed today in the Journal des De bats as his hitherto unpublished statement and was replaced by a brief formal will, dated July 27. 1910, by which he left all his literary property to his daughter Alexandra), reads: "If the people of the world wish, to read my writing, let them dwell on those passages where I know the divine power has spoken through me and let them profit from them throughout their lives." , The diary is printed on the authority of Count Sergius Tolstoy. It was writ ten by his father under date of March 7. 1895. Speak No Good Is Wish. Count Leo Tolstoy asked that all re frain from saying good of him after his death. After referring to himself as the In terpreter of divine power, he said: "I have had moments when I felt myself to be the medium for the ex pression of Divine Will. I have some times been so impure and so subject to personal passions that the light of this truth has been obscured by my own obscurity; but, despite all. I have served at times as the Intermediary for his truth, and those have been the hap piest moments of my life. May God will that, passing through me, these truths have not been sullied, and may mankind find in them its pasture. It is only In that that my writings have importance." The diary begins by saying that if he does not make another, this shall be his last testament. Tolstoy then re quests that this be burled where he dies if in a city in the least expensive coffin and in the least expensive ceme tery, "as the poor are buried." lie continues: Simple Funeral la Requested. "Let there be no flowers, no wreaths, no discourse; and If possible, let the funeral take place without priests and without liturgy, but if that is disagree able to those who bury me, then let me be Interred with the liturgy, only as simply and cheaply as possible." After asking that no announcement of his death appear In the newspapers and that no obituary be printed, Tols toy writes at length concerning the disposition of his works. Referring to his unpublished writ ings he prescribed that only those be printed which will "be useful to man kind." He asks his heirs to abandon to the public the right to 'publish his former works that is, to renounce the author's royalties. After giving instructions relative to the classification of his papers by his wife and daughters, he orders his diaries to be destroyed when what is worth preserving has been extracted from them. Tbls applies particularly to ' the Journals he kept when a bachelor when he says he led the usual miser able life of young men without prin ciple. Then he adds: "After all. let my diaries remain as they are. It may be seen from them that despite the misery of my youth, God did not abandon me and that as 1 grew older I learned however little it was, to understand and to love Sim." POLITICIANS PUT ON GRID (Continued From First Page.) sisted on meeting while the dinner was in progress to name a candidate for the second place, for which various names were suggested, only to be in stantly withdrawn by solicitous friends. Of such was that, "stable-minded, never-changing-hls-vlews, patriot," Herbert S. Hadley. the "sterling Re visionist" Reed Fmoor. the "Invincible Borah." the "great friend of the com mon people," Senator Penrose, and Rob ert Marlon LaFoJlette. whose motto is, "forgive your enemies," who recom mended that the "place be given to Oyster Bay.". . Then the scene cbanged to the Orient and the battle or Armageddon was fought In realistic style, as described by half a doxen war correspondents for the benefit of old Saul, who had come to the scene of his early conflicts.. Harvester Mows Down McComba. Correspondent Lodge reported that Field Marshal Dixon lied mowed down Field Marshal McCoombs with a har vester machine. McCoombs had poured a hot statement Into .Field Marshal Hilles, and Hilles had hit Dixon with some . majority claims. Midshipman Gifford Plnchot, aid to General Perkins, reported that the General needed am munition and had sent him for a foun tain pen to write a check. What Saul supposed to be a horse turned out to be a Bull Moose, and the two men hanging on his flank Adam Beds and John Harlan were said to be the "Truth Tellers.- "Do they tell the truth?" inquired Saul, to which Correspondent Champ Clark replied: "Say, mister, you're not a king, you're the court jester." Pink" Dawa Breaks. Fresh from the battlefield on his horse. Correspondent Watterson re ported that as h left the field the Democrats of the House were trying to arrange the tariff schedules, "and the carnage was frightful." Through his glasses Saul discerned the general of the Bull Moose dashing toward the large general seated on the putting green, followed by the tennis cabinet. Saul's Inquiry as to the identity of the nine men surrounding Taft was answered by the explanation that they were his Cabinet, "who will get into the battle after it is over.". What was at first supposed to be "the dawn of day" turned out to be Colonel Jim Ham Lewis, and an "engine of war," to Saul's ancient eye, was only Gov ernor Hiram Johnson. Even his old friend. "Joan of Arc," was really Al bert J. Beveridge. disguised as "Mary of the Vine-clad Cottage." The action progressed until the Bull Moose and its followers weit fleeing and the man with the golf stick was preparing to leave the green. The battle was soon over and Saul started posthaste for Washington to seek a job, PORTLAND PICTUB.ES IN ANNUAL. In The Oregonian Annual that will be issued January 1, 1913, one large section will be com prised exclusively of Portland pictures. These will include a. group of imposing street scenes, some of them full-page views, showing the busy thoroughfares flanked with towering office blocks, a number of them con structed during 1912. To the person who is unfamil iar with Portland, these pictures will give a clear idea of the city as it is today. The many large and substantial business build ings are certain to surprise and impress Eastern residents, most of whom have no conception of the rapid progress made by Portland , and other Pacific Coast cities. Evf n to the per son who has been away from Portland only a few years this part of the special edition will prove a revelation. AVith build ings costing $60,000,000 erected within the last three years, the change has been so rapid that it is hard to realise the trans formation. Besides general views in the business district, this pictorial section of the Annual will con tain several pages filled with pictures of schools, churches, public buildings, club and fra ternal homes, residences and business blocks erected in 1912. declaring that he had been a "lifelong Democrat since the Datue enaea. . Bull Moose Fight Staged. One of the striking features of the evening's entertainment was a rendition of a complete act of the tuneful opera of "Carmen" by the vocalists or me club in full costume. This was the fa mous 'act of the bull fight; only -it was rendered with stranger characters than Bizet ever dreamed of, and even the bull was replaced by a full-grown Bull Moose. Entered Don Jorge rerKinsario, champion Bull Moose trainer of the world, who announced that the Mexi cans, tired of bullfighting, wanted a sport that had some real hot tamales and chile eon carne in it,-which meant a null Moose fight. President Gar the. after a whispered conversation with President Taft. announced that the President of the United. States assures me that you can have him (the Bull Moose) and welcome. Carmen acDears "history's gay co quette" as "popular . applause," ana sings: "To win my smile the greatest statesmen pause, but when my glances seem most fair, then have a care oe ware, beware." Toreadoro Clarklo Sings The Bull Moose, pawing and snort inc. enters, and then in order the tor eadors are Introduced and Invited to explain their methods of attack. Don Roberto La Follettio replies: "If I had got a chance to catch my breath I'm sure I could have talked the brute to death," but hastily retires Into the group as the Bull Moose makes a dem onstration. Toreador Don Champ Clarklo sang: I know the way to get mat Moose so grim. Why don't they turn Bill Bryan loose on him? If they did that, rd have a good excuse. For saying: 'Go It J511I! uo it uu ooo Then thev sang "Carmen." Carmen: "But Where's Don Taftio? That's the man I'd call by far the worthiest matador of all." Don Jorge: "Don Taftie's a good fighter, people say." Carmen: Too good for any rough and tumble fray. Frank and forbearing. Inclined to show A liberal mind to an ungenerous foe. This little message he has paused to write, 'I'm busy now. let Hilles run the fight.' Yet he's the kind of man I hate to see; Fonder of duty that he Is of me. Don Woodrow Sings, Then the climax: Don Woodrow sing ing and wavering his blade, asserts: I'll bowl him over with classic lore, Lines of Euripides, phrases of 6ophocle. Plato and Plutarch, at him I'll bellow and roar, Oratory in all Its glory, I'll hurl at him with might and main. He'll get no chance to tell the story, I'll never let him explain. Whereupon he turns upon the Bull Moose, who falls and is dragged- off by the S. P. C. A., while Don Woodrow turns to Miss Popular Applause, who greets him, "Woodrow, I'm yours for four long years, per haps." The farewell to President Taft was touchlngly conveyed in the verses en titled, "On the Ohio," set to the music of "Moonlight Bay," as follows: Nestling down. By the old Ohio shore; There's a town. Famous since the days of yore, Cincinnati good old station For the leader of our nation Waits with welcoming ovation On the Ohio. ' Chorus: When the moon beams shine. On the Ohio. And electric lights on Vine street Are all aglow. Or if on the Rhine. You should chance to be. Won t you think of us in Washington, D. C. We have met. Where the broad Potomac flows With regret. we will lose the friend that goes. When to Fountain Square -ou wander Won't "u sometimes pause and ponder On the" friends so distant yonder From the Ohio? Important Notice. Effective December 8. passenger trains will not stop at East Portland, and no tickets will be sold to or from that station. Passengers should take trains at East Morrison street or Union Depot. CARD OF THAXKS. I xtend to Cameiia Chapter. No. 17, O. E. S-, thanks for kindness extended at the burial of mother Mrs. N. J.

Beresford Wants) Assurances. T.nrH fhnrlest Beresford will ask as surances in the House of Commons that the snips constitute an aaamon to the English programme, not part of it. The only feature of the policy causing uneasiness is the innovation of giving the colonies a place on the com mittee of imperial defense. The Man chester Guardian says: . "From the English viewpoint, we view with distrust the admission of a Canadian representative -to tly commit. tee of defense, especially when he is armed with the power, if his advice is not taken, of withdrawing nearly half a squadron from the imperial navy. Colonies Are Enthusiastic. "We are certain that this power would not- be exercised frivolously or in a time of national danger, but the fact that it exists would give the Canadian member of the committee more than ordinary, influence." Dispatches from Australia and South Africa report that Canada's munificence is kindling naval enthusiasm in those dominions. The report of a gift of warships from the Indian princes proves to be a can ard. India's financial load Is already so heavy that English opinion deprecates any attempt to induce the native rulers to embark on new expenses. If the smaller colonies fall into line, Great Britain may find herself embar rassed by offers of more ships than she would be able to support.
