The official attitude of the Russian government toward Tolstoi is illustrat ed in the experience of Lombroso, the criminologist, while visiting in Moscow recently. Lombroso, being desirous of paying bis respects to the distinguished novelist aud refo mer, telegraphed from Moscow to Te « oi. asking for an ap pointment. Scarcely, however, had the message been taken from the room in the hotel where he was staying than there came a rap on bis door, and who should be ushered in but the commis- sionnaire of police! “M. Lombroso, we ! discover that you have just telegraph- I ed to M. Tolstoi.” “I have. What of I it?” inquired the professor. “But M. | Toistoi,” said the commissionnaire, with ! thinly veiled suspicion, “is insane.” \ “Oil. that’s the trouble!” ejaculated the professor. “None the less, M. Commis sionnaire,” he added, quick to seize his opportunity. “I am an authorized phy sician and make a study of insane per sons.” “Ah. indeed!” murmured the official apologetically. “Monsieur makes a study of demented persons. I com prehend. Precisely. Monsieur fs per mitted.” With a sweeping gesture of Gaffney Savings Bank is authorized to act as Administrator, Executor and Guardian without cost of bond.
