LOVES NOT DEAD-NOT YET

Love is dead; the age is cold"
Half the bards are crying.
Love is not SO very DID,
Why should love be dying?
Why the maid beside the rose,
Waiting for another?
Look! the youth that painting goes,
He is not her brother.
Loves not dead-not vet.
Why the sailor flying home,
Answ ring to her letter?
Fierce is fame, and sweet the foam;
But true love is better.
Why the soldier fighting bold,
Till the foeman flee him!
Not alone for fame, nor gold,
But that bright eyes see him.
Loves not dead-not yet.
Sailor, sailing to the Pole,
Last of the surviving,
Her eyes too are on the goal
That is why the striving.
Never sword nor deed sublime,
Midst the war drums rattle,
But some heart is keeping time
To the stroke of battle.
Loves not dead-not vet.
Sceptered prince, with crown his own,
Flies the gilded glory.
Love is better than a throne
It's the same old story.
Spite of all that Mammon, dire,
To the world is bringing,
Beauty still will make desire,
Birds still will be singing.
Loves not dead-not vet.
And while moonlight fills the earth,
Fresh from heavens portal,
Love will live in sweet rebirth,-
Love will be immortal
Spite the years, thousandfold,
Spite the mad worlds lying,
Love is not SO very old;
Why should love be dying9
Loves not dead-not yet.

COURIERS ACROSS SAHARA.
New Service From Nigel to Mediter
ranean-A 1000 Mile Desert Route.

New Service From Nigel to Mediter-
ranean-A 1000 Mile Desert Route.
Though a journey across the Saba
ra is still an undertaking of some
magnitude, the pacifcation of the
central region by the French has been
wonderfully rapid during the last five
years.
Removed as 1t seems from the eX-
citing influence of events in Morocco,
and undisturbed by Senussite propa-
ganda. the French officers have been
able to establish friendly relations
with the Tuareg and other Berber
tribes, and have organized chain of
posts right across the desert connect
ing Algeria with French West Africa.
The route for the telegraph has been
surveyed and a wireless" installa-
ton is being established.
Meantime, by the last mail from
Dakar the governor of French West
Africa reports that he has instituted a
monthly service by courierS between
the Niger and the Mediterranean. The
southern point of departure will be
the ancient town of Gao on the Niger,
some two hundred miles below Tim
buktu. and the point of departure
from the north InSalah i'm the oasis of
Tuat. which is some three hundred
miles south of the rail head in the
Sud Oranasis. intermediate posts have
been established at Agades and the
Ahaggar. The. oversight of the new
route covers fully 1000 miles of des-
ert
Much is expected in the way of ac-
custOming the wild tribesmen of the
Sahara to the new order of things
from the regular running of this ser
vice. and possibly some development
of trade may follow. But at present
it will be useful chiefly as a means of
rapid communication between the
French military posts. 1t is intended
that officers selected for service in or
returning home from the Niger dis
triCtS shall make use of the tranSsaha-
ran route. which will be more direct
and less costly than the journey from
or to France via Senegal or DahOmey.
Both horses and camelS will be used
on the new ServiCe.-Pall Mall Ga
Zette.
