to be uninhabited. Even at Oar
Gilulli, however, there is no attempt
to create town. ALI the houses are
apart, generally on hilltops. and the
effect of this ascetic aloofness is in
creased by the severe lines of the
houses themselves.
They are all structures OF straight
lines and fortress-like appearance.
They generally take the shape of
long. low rectangle. built of yellow
ish age-stained stone, with one mo-
nastic-looking door, which never
seems to be opened, and with no
windows at all, or else narrow. infre-
quent ones, mere slits like those in
the tower of London.
Naturally the population of the
country is scanty. Most of the people
one meets are camel. drivers, who
have come with their camels some
times from places four or five days
to the south of Agadir. There are
only three OF four wells on the road,
and wherever there is well there
is generally some animation, some
signs of local life. At the first well
which l passed half a dozen young
women were working at windlass so
long and SO hard that / suspect there
was no water in the well at all. or
very little.

which he had first of all washed in
the well. At this point the fiocks OF
sheep and goats, score of camels and
several fine-looking bullocks and the
shouts Of two young goatherds at play
echoing down the valley impaired
some animation to the scene. As a
general rule a funereal silence hangs
over all the country, especially at mid
day. One hears no village song. no
shepherds pipe.

The glad, fair ways that lie ahead;
They fail who sit downcast and meek.
For hope is strong and doubt is weak

There came from those he thought to be
Self-satisfied one who confessed,
Who bowed in deep humility
And cried: New hope has come to me-
Despair was hidden In my breast"
Why fear to preach good cheer? we ne'er
May guess what heart lies deep in pain;
Each golden arrow shot in air
Is fated to descend somewhere
No hopeful word is said in vain.

PIayaround Progress.

The playground movement contin-

les operated supervised Fairgrounds
last wear for the first time. During
the year the number of cities having
n]avground commissioners increased
from "a to 81. Reports have been re-
oe,ved from 257 cities which are main
tanning Fairgrounds. and the num-
her is not complete. Forty-eight cit
ies are using their school houses as
recreation centers. Nineteen cities au-
thorized bond issues for recreation
purposes last year amounting to s4'-
445 900. Among these cities were
Cleveland, Atlanta, Milwaukee, San
Diego. Tacoma. Oakland, Cal, and
Portland, Ore 1t lis estimated that
nearly s3.OO0.OOO was spent during the
wear in the administration of play
grounds. The University of California

A Morocco wharf, London, to
u Mogador, but it costs quite as
much in money and thou
sand times as much in nervous force
to traverse the short distance from
Mogador to Agadir. If Agadir Is
opened up these cities will only be
five or six hours apart by sea. By
railway they will be still nearer. and
in both cases few shillings will pay
ones fare from one city to the other,
writes Francis McCullach in the Chi
cago Daily News.
At present this journey requires
four days of the most toilsome and
uncomfortable travelling. At least
three mules are necessary-two for
the baggage and one for yourself.
Your guide sits on one baggage mule,
your Interpreter on another, while an
assistant muleteer belabors your
mount in an almost hopeless endeavor
to keep it moving at a fair pace.
Mules Lack Vitality.
The mules and horses to- be hired
in Mogador are a very sorry collec-
tion. If we were nearer Spain |
should be inclined to imagine that
they had been rejected by the Span
ish bull fighters as too much lacking
in vitality to figure even as passive
victims in the bull ring
When travelling in most parts, of
Europe we assume that many things
can be bought or hired on the way.
When travelling in Morocco we must
bring as many things as if we were
going to visit an uninhabited. island.
Pots, pans, kettles, corkscrews,
spoons, tent, beds, soap, timed
meats-it would take pages to ex.
haust the list. A tent might be dis
pensed with in the dry season, al.
though even then the dew is very
heavy, and one might perhaps do with
out mattress, but camp bed is nee.
essary to raise one above the floor
of an Arab patio, which is sometime mes
a moving mass of fleas.
Another necessary nuisance Is an
interpreter. All he can do is to tell
you how much you have got to pay
for fodder and corn, which, as you
afterward discover. was not bought
at all, but sent to you as present
by the local caid. Your journey is a
continuous running fight with your
interpreter plus your mule drivers
