ALL HOPE ABANDONED
FINDING FIVE BOYS
Battered Barge Tells Silent
Story of Watey Graves.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2S.-An
hope that the five boys who went row
ing in a boat yesterday were not
drowned ended this afternoon when
the battered remnant Of the four
Dared barge IN which they went out
was picked up on the Berkeley shore.
The boys who are thought 20 have
been drowned are: Bert Fry, Frank
Mcclure, Owen HeaIy, Parker Ash
ford, Robert Haslett, all residents o.
South San Francisco. Their ages
range from 10 to IS years.
The boys left the South End Row
ing Clubs house yesterday and rowed
over to the Yerba Buena training sta
ton. Th5y were last seen in the
afternoon about one mile out At that
time they were proceeding smoothly
and displayed no signals of distress.
When darkness came and they had not
returned an alarm was given and pa
troll boats were sent out to search the
bay The search continued all night
and today, being partially rewarded
by finding the badly damaged barge
on the beach.

THE STORM.

Ger the mountains thunder crashes,
Zigsag lightning blinds our eyes,
See the rain in torrents falling
From the angry fTowning skies.
Roaring. rushing, whirling, splashing
Down the canyon comes the fioou
While from all the hills around us
Runs red Tivulets Of mud.
See the old tin cans and bottles,
Merrily they bump along,
They are making ragtime music
And | hear them sing this song:
We're just awful tired Of Bisbee;
All the high toned folk, you know,
Spend the summer in the country,
See Us to the valley go.
In some cool deep ditch wei hide US
Where no billy goats pass by
And the men who want 10 meet US
For the copper cannot spy.
There goes some good wOman's wash
tub.

Now it's on on a vacation
No more work we hear it say.

Its a copper bOttomed boiler
Whirling madly through the air.
Do be careful, there's another,
Ha. ha! ha! I've got to laugh
L is just the boiler cover
Gone to find its better half.
Once my yard looked neat and pretty,
Flowers were blooming fresh ana

Now rocks, rags, old shoes and stock.

Pshaw, I'm tired of all this rUbbishf
Hope when once 1 get away
From this town so queer and crazy
III have sense enough to stay.
There, the rain has stopped little,
Now just see the people run
To the bank beside the canyon.
Isn't that the greatest fun
Mouths wide open, eyes extended
Same old story DER and Ger.
Goodness. gracious, amt that awful?
Never saw the Ike before.
Now ! guess III take my bonnett =
Through the mud I'll paddle down
With the other foolish people,
See the sights about the town.
Here We are at Ball and Bledsoe's
Where It used TO be so neat;
Mad and water now runs through
there
Like a river to the street.
Look across and see the Toggery
Don't you think that pretty tough?
Toys all dripping wet and dirty
They are slaughtered sure enough.
What sight. just look and see IL;
There is Turg above that door,
And I'm sure the waters running
Where il never ran before.
And the building where the miners
Used to go with ali their ills,
II is wrecked, the Doctors routed
With their plssters, powders, pills.
Now we-lI 20 to the postoffice,
Oh. my, isn't that too bad
Everybody set store by it.
This viii make the whole town sad.
Yes. and there's a lot Of people
Who'll be very much annoyed.
For I'm told heap OF letters
Have been totally destroyed
Some we're filed with love and longing,
Some with checks and some with
duns.
Now all mixed Up in a tumble
Through the subway go by TONS
Why. the street is full of people,
Every Mexican you meet
Wears a smile Of satisfaction,
This will bring him food to eat.
See the men who once were stylish
Now they look like crazy looms,
Clothes bedraggled and the creases
All have left their trouseroons.

sian government, even more than be
fore. may have had a stimulating in
huence upon the sympathies of that
large class OF educated Russians be
longing TO the opposition. Tolstoi rep
resents, more than any other man in
Russia, the progressive and radical e.
ement Nearly all his life he has been
on the opposition side, /defying and
combating the evil Influences sur
rounding the throne, the bureaucratic
clan and the reactionary faction of the
nobility. His sympathies have ever
been with the people and his aim has
ever been to lead them to freedom and
happiness. Yet, his radicalism was
not of violent nature and never did
he advocate the use of force or VIC
lence. The Nihilists of Russia, the
anarchistic element, found neither
support nor sympathy with Tolstoi
Tolstoi has had a remarkable career.
He was born of nc BILE and wealthy pa
rents at Vasnaya Polyana. on August
%, 1928. His parents died while he
was child and he was left in charge
of an aunt. He received the usual
education of a Russian noble, first at
home and afterward, in 1894, at the
University of Kazan. where he entered
the faculty of eastern languages and
literature. In 1874 he took up the
study of law and was granted his de
gree and admitted 10 practice in 1S4S.
In 1851 he accompanied his brother to
the Caucasus and entered the army.
It was during his residence at the
Caucasus that he wrote his earliest
novels. In 1853 he Joined the Russian
army of the Danube and fought against
| the Turks. He lived abroad for about
! two years after the campaign and
! then returned 70 Russia. In 1852 he
! married Miss Sophie Behrs in Mos
COW, who has had the most remarkable
| influence upon his life, his religious
! and sociological views and has, as
many believe, saved him from finan-
! cial ruin and from becoming a mental
wreck. His first great novel, Anna
| Karenina, was published in 1875 and
made him famous. Although the in
| come from his estate and from the
| copyright of his books would enable
| him to live in keeping with his rank,
| Count TOistoi has ever since his mar,
riage lived the simple life of a peas,
! ant, denying himself all Iuxuries. His
| time is divided between literary work
and labor in the fields or at the cob
| bler's bench, where. he makes shoes
for himself, his family and his neigh
boTs. His ethical, sociological and pc
| litical teachings have produced a deeT
| impression not merely in Russia, but
| throughout the whole civilized worlC
and the old man has thousands of ar
5 dent admirers all over the globe.
