Such rosy feet for the hard way.

Steep is the hill and heavy the load
Upon the Way Of Life, the way?"
Yet still he cries to take the road,
And I, dare not say him nay
Though sharp the flints. cruel the goad

Tho Old Mill.

AS when 'boy--long, long ago
round.
The mill stands roofless, gaunt and
bare,
And wild weeds grow around each
wall,
No sound awakes the silence there
Save when the rocks discordant call,
The dam, onos clear as mountain
spring,
Is now choked UP with rush and
sedge;
Around it's still and stagnant edge.
Old Tom, the dusty miller, sleeps
Long years beneath the ohurchyard
clay, -
And twinins ivy fondly ,oreeps
Around his tomb, time-worn and
gray.
Well, we'll. mind mo the last day
He hobbled to his cottage door;
We urchins ceased our thouKhtless
play.
He smiled and said, My work is
DER"
And as he on the threshold stood,
His dim eyes shaded by his hands,
Looked lovingly at vale and wood
Round Annesleys fair and fertile
lands.
He looked at sluice and upper weir;
Then from his eyes, grown dark and
saw him wipe away tear.
They laid him ON his bed that night,
But at the dawning of the day
Toms honest spirit winged its fight
And scared the realms of peace
away.
No trace is now Of trellised wall,
Or roof that crowned the millers
| cot,
Save where the goose and wild briers
In rude profusion round the spot.
This busy mart in days long fled.
Where rustic feats of strength were
shown,
Is now as silent as the dead,
! Its trodden ways with grass Ger
| grown.
No farmer now, with golden grain,
Carols the dusty road along.
Guiding his heavy freigh.ed vain
'Twixt snatches of some sprightly
song.
The rustic games, the farmers lay,
The merry dance, the Jig and reel
Have passed forever, passed away,
Like ruined mill and silent wheel.
1 mark the changes time has wrought
Today, in hedgerow, lane and tree,
] But fail to note-Oh bitter thought
What changes time has made in me
The sombre sky above MY head,
The wailing wind, so sad and low,
Seem like a. requiem for the dead
And buried past Of long ago.
Yet still the mill-race waters run,
Bounding to meet the restless sea.
AS conscious, when that goal is won,
From pent-up banks forever free.
Sad emblems Of this land today,
Whose sons have lost their sires
devotion,
And from green Erin haste away
To slave and die beyond the ocean.

Algeciras (By Cable).-After a plen-
ary session lasting until o'clock P. NJ,
the conference on Moroccan reforms
registered a complete accord and ap-
pointed a committee to embody this ac-
cord in a formal protocol. The con-
summation of the work in the conference
was announced in the following official
communication:
The conference has terminated its
labors and accord is established upon
all points. 1t has adopted a definite
text for the remaining articles concern
ing the state bank and customs. The
final article, regulating the distribution
of police at ports, is adopted from the
Russian draft.
By it France will policce four Atlantic
ports-Mogador, Saffi, Magazan and
Rabat-and Spain two-Tetuan and La
rache. France and Spain together will
police Tangier and Casablanca, subject
10 an Inspector of police The Dutch
delegate announced that his government
declined 10 appoint an officer. The con-
ference has appointed a special committee
to revise the texts of the agreement,
This committee will meet Monday to
consider the final formalities of the pro-
tOcol
The duration of this police agreement
was fixed at five years.
The settlement of the question of the
State Bank of Morocco gives France
three shares, including those of the
French syndicate The other nations
have one share. Four bank supervisors
will be appointed by the Bank OF Eng
land. the Bank of France, the Imperial
Bank of Germany and the Bank of
Spain.
Mr. White, the American delegate, Is
of the opinion that the result is a sat
isfactory one, not only because the i'm
mediate future of Morocco is secured,
but because the manner of the settlement
is satisfactory both to France and Ger
many and removes the causes for fric-
ton and restores international relations
to normal The principles for which
Germany insisted, the integrity of Moroc-
co and equal commercial and economic
rights there, Mr.. White thought, were
recognized, while the special position
claimed by France also was acknowl
edged.
Others of the leading delegates con-
firm Mr.. Whites opinion and emphasize
the good effect the result should have
on the European situation. They say
tndt tne agreement was IN no small meas
ure due to the efficacy of the meditation
on the part of the United Statets through
its chief representatives.
With reference to the effect of the
conference on Morocco the delegates
were reserved in their opinion. They
admitted, however, that the operation of
real reforms will be impossible without
the good will and sanction of the Sultan
and his advisers, and for that reason the
last act of the conference will be to
authorize that the reform program as
adopted be submitted to the Sultan by
Chevaier Malmusi, the Italian minister
to Morocco. who is dean of the diplo-
matte corps at Tangier with the intima-
ton that it is the unanimous wish of the
powers that it be put into operation i'm

This includes the union men, the large
number of boys ineligible for membership
and the men who are not members of the
union, but who are expected TO remain
idle as long as the union men.
This leaves 1900 men who are permit
ted to continue at work to prevent the
mines from flooding
The gates of the collierieS were invit-
ingly open, but no one passed through
them except the men required to keep
the collieries from being damaged and
the fire bosses, foreman and other petty
officials of the companies. The whistles
blew at the usual time, but the only
miners in sight were those who in their
home clothes were posted as pickets
about the streets leading to the collieries
If they expected to use moral SuaSion
TO prevent men trying to mine coal they
were not busy, for there was no occasion
to do so. Later in the day men visited
the cOllcricS freely to turn in the time of
their labors so that the accounts for the
past two weeks could be made up. The
company officials did not question these
miners as to whether or not they wanted
TO work, and the union officials did not
watch TO see whether they returned from
the collierics.
Only one case OF violence was reported.
Early in the morning someone threw a
large stone over the fence of a coliery
of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, at
Duryca. 1t struck a watchman on the
head and knocked him senseless Other
watchmen ran TO the gates, but there was
no one TO be seen.
In the effort to impress the mincwork-
ers with the vigilance of the state
mounted police Capt. J. w. Page ordered
a squad of 10, under command of Sec
ond Sergeant Jesse S. Garwood. and
these inen made the tour of the collieries
embraced in the region between Pittston
on the north and Wilkes Barre on the
south, and on each side of the river
Nowhere did they see any violence,
and the only untoward incident occurred
when two troopers were passing through
4 crowd i'll 4 small mining town. One
man jumped forward and begun curSing
them. His companions pulled him back
roughly, crying:
Shut up, you fool Don't you know
they are the state police?"
Everywhere the men, with the long
clubs they carry and the army revolver
in their belts, attracted attention and
comment.

Makind Paper Dolls.

Paper dolls always give delight,
particularly if little ingenuity is dis
played in making the faces a little
different from ordinary dolls faces.
Sheet cardboard not too thick Is the
best material for making these dolls.
and the easiest way to mark them
out is to cut a pattern from heavy
cardboard. lay it on the thin card
board and draw around it with pen
Gil. Mark an entire sheet at once.
When the figures are cut out paste q
scrap picture head on each one, leav-
ing the neck of the scrap picture free
and unattached. The top of the dolls
dress slips under this neck and is
thereby aided to remain securely in
place. With pen, pencil or brush
draw the lines to represent the under
clothes. The stockings are usually
painted with a dull black water color,
though there is no reason why they
may not be painted red and further
adorned with stripes or dots. A good
effect is secured by painting the
shoes in gold paint. Slippers may be
painted black and ornamented with
bows or t-ckles. The foundation of
the dress should be cut out of heavy
cardboard and marked around on writ
ing paper White is the best color.
