Italy Will Be Prominent.

Rome, January 6-Interest here in the Moroccan conference is growing This ls due to the predominant position that Italy will assume because of the import ance of her delegate, the Marquis Wis conti who, when he was Italian minister of foreign affairs, concluded an agreement with France by which Italy abandoned her claims on Morocco in favor of France. This agreement was concluded later by Premier Prenitti who pledged Italy's help to France In Morocco, receiving in ex- change the help of France in Tripoli. At that time Germany had shown no interest in Morocco, while Italy consd- cred herself free to so act. Morocco not being included in the agreement of the triple alliance concerning the equilibrium of the Mediterranean. Now Germany maintains 1t Is said, that no question, even If 1t were contemplated by the triple alliance, comes within the terms of the treaty, and If Germany is attacked by another power the other two members of the triple alliance, Austria and Italy. are compelled to assist her with arms.
 Thus the situation of Italy in the conference is becoming more delicate as the conference may lead to war, though the prospects at present point toward peace.
 Should Trust to France.
 The opinion is prevalent here that France should represent the powers in the work of civilizing Morocco, and that they should entrust to her, or principally to her, execution of the programme of reforms and the safeguarding of the in- terests of Germany and Spain and the insuring of the complete liberty of com merce for all time.
 Up to the present time 1t Is asserted Germany has refused to even discuss this position limiting herself to recognition of the right of France to protect the All gerian frontier on the Moroccan side.
 There Is much speculation here as to the attitude the United States will take.
 Several journalists have engaged to in- terview Ambassador White with regard to this, but he has refused to be quoted.

OF sinister" a writer says: How
charged, since the time Of the Romans,
is this simple word With dubious

something worse than the clear menace
of trouble in waking hours. Man want

WOOD RAT TYpFIEs MAN.
de Is Small, but His Acquisitiveness
Is Unsuitable,

DC rs small, but His AcquisitiveneSs
Is Unsuitable.
Too many Americans have the "wood
rat instinct" The wood rat. tle ami.
nal, is native of southern Oregon,
but the wood rat typ1aed in man Is
not7res1icted to any small section Of
state or nation, but Is we'll nigh uni
versal.
The wood rat is small, no larger than
common rat but his ambition and
aeQnisitiyeness are Unsuitable. His
one insane desire seems to be to in.
crease the size of his pile Of sticks.
The nelghboring field is placed under
tribute. First, all the nearby sticks
are gathered into the pile. Then. as
these are cleaned up, he goes farther
and farther away from home, and ev-
cry twig is eagerly seized upon to in
crease the size of his pile of sticks.
The wood rat regards his pile of
sticks as refuge in time of trouble.
On the first sound of alarm he rushes
for the pile and crawls underneath 1t
Is here that he often finds his destruc-
ton, for summer fire sometimes
sweeps through the woods, and the
wood rats pile of sticks makes a
yeritable furnace The larger the pile
the hotter the fire, and thus he has
piled up the means of his own agony.
We do not need to carry the COM
parlson any further The lesson is
obvious, but still many of us do not
appear to realize that we are like the
wood rat, worshiping a pile of sticks.
We marry man because of the size
Of his pile Of sticks and not from an
innate attractiyeness. We call this
man d success because he can gather
sticks faster than any of his compan-
IONS We call this man "sharp" and
''shrewd" because, after fellow
worker has laboriously made a huge
pile, he steps in and Gusts his fellow
from the pile and appropriates all the
sticks for his own.
Let us take warning from the wood
rat and the summer fire-the larger
the pile of sticks the fiercer burns the
fire when the time of destruction final

Markham on the Greatest Passage In
English Literature,
10 ask for the one most justly cele-
brated passage in English prose litera-
ture is like asking for the one most
justly celebrated sort of fruit in the
orchard. There are easily a score of
equally worthy passages, each one max
Ing its especial appeal to a different
mood of the mind.
Ruskin's description of Turner's
slave ship satisfies our love for the ma
jestic color and motion of the sea.
De Quincey's reyeric on the nebula in
Orion carries a sense of the vastness
and mystery of the sky. Wlter's pic
turing Of the shield of Hercules re-
builds for Us the light and life of
buried Hellas. Swinburne's eulogy of
Rossetti astounds us with the splendor
and speed of his words. LIE Gallienne's
prose fancy, The Twelve Wells" stirs
our hearts with the precious disquiet of
old sorrows. Victor Hugo's grafton in
THE Man Who Laughs" awakens in
us the ennobling passion of humanity.
LincOln's Gettysburg speech bushes the
soul with it's fine appeal to the heroic
in the heart of man

Poe, Th0reau, Hawthorne, Lake Har-
riS, Jeremy Taylor as well as st. Mat
thew, st. John, Isaiah, Job and other
peers III the parliament of words,
but I'content myself with making the
one selection that is perhaps my ia
vorite III most of my moods. l refer
to that stately and sonorous passage
from Carlyle's "Sartor Resartus"
where he sees history as a stupendous
procession forth-issuing from Gimme
rian night and vanishing into pathetic
and fathomless silence. Here is the
passage;
Like some wild flaming, wild thun-
dering train of heavens artillery does
this mysterious mankind thunder and
fame in long drawn, quick succeeding
grandeur through the unknown deep
Like God created, fire breathing spir-
1t host, we emerge from the inane, haste
stormfully across the astonished earth,
then plunge again into the inane
Earth's mountains are leveled and
her seas filled up in our passage. Can
the earth, which is but dead and a
vision, resist spirits which have real
ity and are alive? On the hardest ada
mant some footprint of us is stamped
in; the last rear of the host will read
traces of the earliest van. But whence?
o heaven, whittier? Sense knows not,
faith knows not, only that it is through
mystery to mystery, from God to God"

Is an opposite natural tendency-at
