With the light of the skies in her violet

That shine with lustrous beams;
And her soft hand-touch means to me so

For my heart is filled with dreams.

When must take my flight;
So when fervent lips touch her finger tips

aged IL and 10 years, respectively, and
Captain Strothe Of the governors military
household. By a very special privilege,
usually only granted to sovereigns, an audi
ence was given in the pope's private
library.
The pope was most kind and fatherly. He
had little Miss Taft stand beside his chair
and placed his hand gently on her shoulder
while the interview proceeded. The head
Of the Roman Catholic church showed par
ticular interest in the little ones. He asked
them which they liked the better Rome OF
Manila. They both answered that where
they wanted to go was back to the United
States. Their settled view or that point
greatly amused the pope. The audience
lasted twenty-five minutes. At its close the
pope gave his visitors a special blessing,
rising easily from his chair without even
the assistance OF a cane. He insisted. with
charming gallantry, on escorting the women
to the library door. Bishop O'Gorman, who
has had three audiences with the pope, says
the pontin appears marvelously lively and
in the best OF spirits.

ROME, July 5.-After an examination OF
the note submitted by James H. Taft, civil
governor OF the Philippine islands. regard
ing the friar lands in the archipelago, the
vatican finds one very great obstacle to
the withdrawal OF the friars.
The vatican would not object II the ex-
pulsion of the friars were arranged and
carried out by another power, so that the
holy see would only have to recognize the
accomplished fact, but II shrinks from APP
pearing as a direct party to the withdrawal,
especially since the religious orders are
powerful in Rome. and above all others
in the sacred college.
The efforts OF the vatican are directed
toward finding a way to consent to the
withdrawal OF the friars from the islands
without appearing to do so. In fact, the
vatican, 1t is believed. would welcome q
show OF force to which II could submit
It would much prefer. however, a COM
promise prohibiting the friars from re-
turning to the parishes they left in 1898,
but allowing them to remain where they
