Funeral Cortege Passed Through
Solid Rank of Mourners !
Zaselka. Russia, Nov. JJ: Through
solid rank of weeping peasants, tbe
body of Count Tolstoy, in' his plain
black oak coffin, was borne yesterday
from the little railroad station here
over the same road that Tolstoy -himself
had traveled less than two weeks
ago, when be left his home to seek
solitude5 from the world. Countess
Tolstoy, weeping bitterly in be grief,
headed the little procession . tbe
body was carried three miles on the
shoulders of the count's best beloved
to Ihe Tolstoy home at Yasuaya Pol
yaua. for Ihe last rites and Interment
beneath l'overty Oak. ,
It was a strange concourse of
friends and admirer who gathered
here and lined the route to Ihe Tol
stoy home. , There were men of fame
In the literary and scientific world,
nobles lu elegant dress, but the most
interesting of all were Ihe field labor
ers, dressed In black, coarse clothing,
their hands calloused and their backs
bent from toll. Their women, and
children came with them and little
boy and girl carried bough of fir
In their hands, a traditionary spiri
tual emblem in Russia that Is up-
posed to bilng peace to the depa.led.
When the special train bearing the
count's body and some of his children
arrived here from Gorbatchevo, where
tbe night had been spent, the little
lug station was draped In black. About
it siood a crowd of women, men, and
children. The men raised their voices
in chants and the women Wept loud
ly. The little children carried their
boughs of fir and pine, not knowing
hat the great sorrow was, but recog
nizing that a friend had gone.
There was a sudden rush toward
ihe railroad car, each and every man
wanting to assist In carrying the cof
fin over the Journey to Yasnaya Pol
yttna. Countess Tolstoy had to be assist
ed by her daughter, Alexandra, and
one of her sons. At times she falter
ed so badly that the nearly fell. Count
Tchertklft at time spoke comforting
words to hey. She had spent a great
part of the time weeping silently at
tbe side of her bimbsnd's coffin, and
she wss o exhausted that Dr. Mako

that she should not walk.'
