Love did smile upon US,
But you know that / hold you dear,
And you know that life without you
Can only be dull and drear.
I know it. out here, and feel it,
That all will be cold and gray
And the music only tells me
That you are going away
Williams even Internationally borrows
the style of Tom Moore when he tells Of
the tie that binds the jewellers in the fol-
lowing
THE CROWD THAT'S GONE.
Come I'LL a glass with me tonight,
To the lads of bygone day,
Who joined us when our hearts were light
To speed the hours away
When gOblets clinked and lightly clinked
From dark until the dawn.
Fill up glass before we pass
Come, fill pipe with me tonight
And smoke to the memory,
OF comrades who once found delight
In such sweet reVelry.
And pass a joke, amid the smoke,
Such quips as they dotted on,
They were hearty men, and Wen smoke
F-oT the sake of the crowd that's gone.
They were dear to us. and we well may
smoke
As we think of the circle gay,
And we well may drink and the fates in
woke
To send us as true as they.
So fill the pipe; their nOOntide. ripe
Be sweet as was the dawn:
Fill up the glass. may naught harass
The hearts of the crowd that's gone.

Then Williams borders on the subtleness
of Ella Wheeler Wilcox as follows:
GOING AWAY.
Flowers and music and laughter
And all things else that cheer
But why should I be merry
Who am waiting alone out hereE
Who am waiting out here in the darkness
Away from the riot gay,
Where the music only tells me
That you are going away.
Within you are reigning queenly.

Without I am waiting dumbly
To catch your laugh and song
They have met to do you honor,
For you leave on the coming day;
But lis I alone who sorrow
That you are going away.
Does that chattering crowd there loveyou2
VIII one of them shed a t8ar2
Is there a heart that is breaking,
Like mine. all alone, out here2
Mid flowers and music and laughter,
Does one OF them pause to say:
Life VIII be dark tomorrow,
For she is going away.

read them over and over as he lay in the
shade of his pony and watched the cattle.
Then he tried mining, but the first day he
landed the heavy sledge on his finger in
stead of on the drill, and he quit His
farm experience was quite disastrous and
when he got the measles working in a
grocery store he gave up a mercantile life.
Williams first manuscript was returned.
He sent more. Three Of them were kept
year. He thought he had broken into
the literary arena; but 10, and behold;
they, too, come back. His next trial
brought reply from an editor that what
he sent might be printed, but that the
magazine did not pay for such things.
williams gave it and his blessing to the
editor.
Williams now has no trouble in finding
q lodging place for his verses and checks
in return. His verses have the favor of
other authors. The following is remindful
of Kipling:

Forth from your loved halls;
The pride of your youth upon you,
You chafe when the wide world calls.
Bue ere these ties be loOsened,
Ere vet your roads We take.

And list for your mothers sake.

No Rain in Lower California For Over
Three Years.

San Diego, Cal, May 10.-Word
reaches here of a famine at the town of
San Juan de Cabo, near Cape San Lu-
cas-, at the southern extremity of Lower
California. The steamers are bringing
north many of the former residents of
the place, and many of them are said
to be actually suffering for lack OF
food. It seems that for three and a half
years no rain has fallen. and the crops
this year have been an utter failure
The cattle industry, at one time the
principal business of the vicinity, has
fallen into decay. The animals, for want
Of food, have died by hundreds The
condition Of the people has gradually
grown more desperate until it is now
unbearable, and they are moving out.
The Lower California Development COM
pany has been asked to send a steamer
to the stricken town to bring away the
inhabitants.
