Not many years ago one OF
our townsmen, a well-to-do and
respected young man OF excep-
tional good family-married one
of the beautiful daughters Of our
neighboring town Albion-also
of good parentage. They started
out in the sglonous morning OF
welded life, not a cloud on the
horizon; no happier par Of birds
ever built a nest; a bright and
intelligent family began to spring
up, ard with JOY the fond father
pointed to them. They contin-
ued to live enwrapped in each
others love, forgetting the temp
tation of the world. This good
man must work as we all do

the best of him, and when his
money was gone he became un-
bearable and must be thrust out
in the cold, at all times and uu-

tears and he lamented his down
fall and the future Of his dear
wife and children: When his
money was gone his friends van

and Jokes were played on him,

thought themselves better One

take place. But this was not

FRANCES POLITICAL INFLUENCE
In Morocco Must Be Safeguardea-
Her Program Means 1t.

Paris, Feb. 2.-Safeguarding Frances
prcponderating political influence in Mo-
rocco appears to be the main point of the
French program at the Moroccan confer
ence at Algeciras. On other questions
France is prepared in Il liberal spirit to
meet any proposals by which she will
take firm stand relative to the police.
Such is the view expressed in quarters
enjoying the confidence of the ministers
here. where it is also affirmed that the
French delegates are determined to await
the disclosure of Gcrmany's proposals be-
fore making known their own proposition.
1t is argued that this waiting attitud"
is justified by the fact that the desire for
a conference emanated from Germany,
who should therefore take the initiative
in declaring her views.
The French cabinet possesses the unan-
imous support of the country in main
tanning the principle that Frances posi-
ton in Algeria gives her the right to a
pre-emnent voice in Moroccan affairs
Any other solution of the conference
would be regarded by the country as a
display Of weakness and the view is gen
orally expressed that a return to the
status quo would be preferable.
