For almost three years Mrs. Harris

AN APPEAL FROM SUFFERING

Can the busy throng stop long

being pushed in which many shining
lights lose their lives. and yet one
question. the greatest of ALL how
to end the suffering OF hopeless. help

into.

Now why should not the State take

LONG A WATER SOAKED CITY

From the San Francisco Call
 Beneath the waters of San Francisco Bay close to where the buildings of the Panama-Pacific Exposition soon will be erected, scientists of the anthropologicaI department okthe University of California have discovered traces of an Indian will lage that existed between 800 and 700 years ago.
 The discovery was made when the dredgers of the exposition company un- covered what appears to be a three foot layer of shell and bone that had been dropped by human hands. The dredgers were stopped long enough to permit the scientists to make cusory examination.
 Prof. A. L. Kroeber, head of the depart ment of anthropology at the University of California, announced the discovery of the ancient Indian village, which is believed to be the first dwelling place of man on the site where the exposition will be built
 The settlement was probably that of the sea lion hunters of the peninsula. The finds have been incorporated in the uni versity's anthropological museum at tho affiliated colleges, where they will be of interest in 1915 One inter- esting point in connection with the report of Professor Troeber Is that San Francis co has sunk into the ocean % inches since the early Indian hunters frequented this district.

The Aged R1Ass;a1 Noble Who Bolsters Up Czardon1

steal our trade. Down with Germans. Let no German henceforth appear at my table"
 Such are the daily adventures of Gen erGl of Infantry E. V. Bogdanovitch. first friend of the Czar. His latest adventure wns mixture of comedy and tragedy-in which the former predominated. Being very old, and possibly near his grave, he resolved recently to deal a terrific blow at the constitutionalist revolutionary, foreign, Jewish, traitorous cause. And he applied to Little Nicholas, who sent him s22.O0O for great patriotic demonstration on behalf of Czar of. Faith, of Father land.
 This demonstration was to be novel. Mother Moscow was to have an ex- piatory day. The fact is that Noly Ortho- dox Mother Moscow terribly disgraced herself by rebel infamies in 1905. The insurrection which broke out shortly be- fore Christmas lasted whole fortnight. The general resolved that this stan should be erased; and he fixed his ex piatory day for October l. A great ser vice would be held in the Kremin Arch angelsky Sobor," that is the Cathedral of the Archange Michael. Moscow should solemnly express it's penitence for break ing the Cars peace.
 From each of the IT 'tchasti" into which the town is divided would come deputations of 10 respectable citizens to pray to heaven for pardon for their cty's sin, and to swear in future to obey God and the Czar. The Tversllaja "Tchastn alone was to be exempted; because there the troops and the police, by means of artillery and rifle fire, had succeeded in stopping the insurrection. and keeping the masses loyal"
 Bogdanovitch sped to Moscow and set about arranging the expiatory deputa- tions. The task was hard Respectable citizens refused to give themselves away by praying for pardon for their past revolutionary offenses. They reasoned that after they had confessed their sins the police would bounce on them and send them before the special courts which are still trying "rebes for waving red flags and singing forbidden songs in glorious 1905 The respectable. in short, held suspiciously aloof So the experi- enced general did what everyone does in Russia; he applied for help to the fer tile police.
 To the police the tack was simple. un-

 After the adoption by the police of the sign from heaven improvement, Lukash- kin's ardor increased. He concentrated In his hand all the arrangements, and reported infinitely to Bogdanovitch. He even visited St. Petersburg and was asked to lunch at the Morskaja house with 2 Spaniard whom the hospitable genera. made drunk, and then bawled at fiercely: ''fhe Spaniards are all villains. Look at tie bomb they threw at poor Alfonso. Look at the inquisition. How dare you drink an honest Russians vodka?" The general was raptured by Lulsashkins as- siduity.
 Every day he received a mail report saying how things were going. and descrip- ing the astonishing ador of the 3iO re- spectable Moscow merchants to confess their rebellious sins and beg for par don. LukashlSin even inserted in his list of penitents the name of Gutchkoff, broth CT of the former duma speaker. adding that Gutchkoff, though not himself a rebel was so oppressed by his city's iriGuity that he wished to share it's decd of cxpiation. The delighted general cent weekly report to Nicholas II telling him all he knew, but not telling him what he did not know-that the recruited penitents were hooligans, and that about dozen of them were already expecting miraculous sign from heaven

He telegraphed and got no re- ply; next telegraphed to the police, and got the reply Come immediately" When he arrived he saw no LulSashkin, but onlv few pale green police captains. Lukash kin had flown with the s1i,0oO. He had not spent cent on expiation except one railroad ticket to Petersburg, and eo cents in stamps on daily reports to his en,- blower.
 Lukashkin was caught at Moscow By all means prosecute me-" he said. .It'u be an interesting trial. You'll produce my receipt for the s14,0Oo. and I'll produce the police instructions to dress up hooli- gans as penitents. v
 So said NJ. Lukashkin. When he saw that his threat had no deterrent effect on
