WHEN YOU AND ARE OLD

When you old and gray and full of sleep
 And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
 And slowly read and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments glad grace.
 And loved your beauty with love false true;
 But loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face And bending down beside the glowing bars,
 Murmur a little sadly, how love fled
 And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd stars.

Of Life-Railroads Still Practically
ParaIyzed as Result Of Storm.
Denver, Dec. g.. Cloudless skies
greeted residents of Denver and sub
urbs as they resumed the task of dig
ging their way through the heavy
snow.
The first efforts were to restore
partial street car service and resume
the delivery of coal and food sup
plies.
While thousands of men worked
with pick and shovel digging away
the mass of snow and ice the police
barred from the streets all vehicles
except those needed to meet the city's
immediate wants.
One was reported dead in Denver
and several are still missing.
Railroad traffic still was badly tied
up, only one train from Cheyenne
reaching the Union station. Of1cials
say 1t will be another day before
service is resumed.
Reports came from mountain points
through the state of persons missing
and OF those who have been found un-
conscious in the snow by searching
parties since the abatement Of the
storm which prevailed for two days.
Two men were reported lost In
Cheyenne mountain near Colorado
Springs and searching parties on
snowshoes have been unable to find
