A Host Per Treaty.

The United States was one of the countries that signed the convention of The Hague in 1899 which laid down news rules as to the customs of war. Que of the provisions of this agree ment reads:
 "A neutral state which receives in it's territory troops belonging to the belhg- erent armies shall intern them as far as possible at a distance from the theatre of war.
 "It can keep them in camps. and even confine them in fortresses or To. cations assigned for this purpose"
 The United States cannot let the refugees of the shattered federal army of Mexico recross the border without violating a treaty. She must continue is feed them and shelter them and take extreme care that none, grown weary of confinement. slips away, though that would ease the burden. The cost of service is estimated at $l.500 a day. Mexico may some day reimburse us-or she may not. In any case, bound by our word, we must keep on setting meat before the guests we wish most heartily had never come.-Toledo, O., Blade.

The Sweet Old Songs.

The sweet old songs of hope and love,
 The sweet old lays that ring With simple faith in God above.
 And tell of flowers in spring; The sweet old songs of country days.
 And streams that roll to rest; The sweet old songs of winding ways
 And meadows green-are best. like the tramp of epic verse
 And the rolling strength of odes; But what cares life for empty purse
 When song is full of roads And the open way and the bounding blue
 Of the bright and lovely weather, And light comes over the hills to you
 And your heart is blowing feather. Doff the ban that the critic cries
 On the songs that sing themselves, And go like them meath the bending skies, In world of fays and elves. And go with them to the cup that brims
 With the beauty of this earth, And drink the bubble of joy that swims
 On the ripPles of their mirth.
 -Bentztown Bard in Baltimore Sun.

 But what on earth is the matter with your volce? Have you taken cold already this fall ?"

The Wurra Wurra Club

The attendance was fair, as far as quality was concerned, but there wasn't much of it. The Chesterfeldian sexton of the Club. MT. 5. Buymyhorseradish Strong, and nineteen or eleven other members were the first to arrive, but quite good many others had got there ahead of them, including the president, Mir. Ii. E. Lyles, who telephoned from his home that he couldn't be present as his front yard was full of snow and Jim mic had sawed the handle off the snow shovel t" make a tent-pole for next sea- sons society circus. That settled that. Which should teach us all, each and every one, that 1t is better-far better yes, infinitely far better. That is to say, there is in every profitable lesson a wholesome moral, sometimes. There fore Mir. Strong, with much feeling, opened the exercises by dumping a bod of coal on the fire, after which he called for examinations for temporary chairman pro tenn. Judge Ford got up and nom- mated Lew Rhoades, whereupon the meeting proceeded to elect Horace Humphrey. Horace took the gavel and went at it. He played the Opening Ode, himself, on one those things you see in the window sometimes, with little thing um-majigs on them, to blow in. It wasn't very good one, and the meeting didn't applaud. The minutes of the previous meeting were read by Colonel Dan 5. Weeney, and that settled the pre- liminaries.
 Ned Roberts got up and announced that he was about to call from the table the resolution demanding that the authorities proceed to pour oil on the streets, to keep the dust down. There was objection on the part of Highway Commissioner Tom Butler.
 Temporary Chairman pro tenn. Slats ruled that objections didn't go during February. and the motion was passed. In order to obviate another wrangle oyer the original resolution, however, 1t was tabled again on motion of Selectman Reel.
 On motion of Mir. Oehlschlager it was voted that the Club-room be kept closed all day, Washington's birthday, as a mark of respect to that gentleman.
 Mir. Eugene T. Rowe, formeH mayor, offered a motion that the secretary be in- structed to negotiate with ttfe local dramatic company that presented the "Lonelyville Social Club" in Town Hall, Wednesday night, to see if terms can be made for the services of Harry Waller, for the repetition of his cele- brated monologue some evening, at social session of the Club. John s Reed seconded the motion, remarking that it was the funniest hodge-Podge of local hits he had heard in a long time. The motion was unanimously passed.

Everybody Is.

Way down deep within their hearts,
 Everybody's lonesome. Far within their secret parts,
 Everybody's lonesome. Makes no difference how they smile, How they live or what their style, Once in every little while,
 Everybody's lonesome. People first in big affairs,
 Even they are lonesome; Maybe like to put on airs,
 Just the same they're lonesome. Men for whom existence blends Every good; who gain all ends. Still reach out their hands for friends,
 Everybody's lonesome. Women, silk -clad, jeweled fine,
 Yes, they too, are lonesome When their gems the brightest shine,
 They are just as lonesome, Some must serve, and some command All still seek with groPing hand Love and friends who understand.
 Everybody's lonesome. our gift of friendships small,
 Everybody's lonesome. It may answer someone's call,
 Someone who is lonesome. Give and give with might and main, Give your hands, and join the chain, And your gift will be your gain,
 Sometime when you're lonesome

Letters From the People
Caring for Birds.
To the Editor of The News

To the Editor of The News:
 May l not urge the public through the columns of your paper to feed the wild birds with grain, crumbs and suet while the snow lasts? Our winter birds do splendid work for humanity all win ter long by devouring larvae and eggs of noxious insects and seeds of trouble some weeds. They do not mind the cold if we'll fed. But the snow covers their food supply and stnrves them. To tie suet and meat scraps to trees and scatter grain and crumbs on hard tramp ed snow, or better on a flood -table''-a box or board oh post set up out of reach of cats is kindness to suffering wild creatures. ,, But ir Is more than that. It is a public spirited act, redounding to the welfare of mankind. The birds saved will repay thousand fold in their work on garden. shrubbery and orchard Chaff from the barn floor and scraps from the table are fine for this work. If we can afford it, hemp and sunf1ower seed are splendid. But, let us each do something in the name of humanity, until bare ground and warmer weather relieve the strain.
 Yours very truly,

 In view of the fact that West Hart ford's Everybody to Church" Sunday was just seven weeks behind Canaan's Community Sunday January 4,the claim of leadership may seem to be open to question. As matter of fact, Canaan was the first town in the state-big or little-to have an Everybody to Church" Sunday. And in percentage of attend ance increase we have not seen the Oan- aan experiment. excelled in any town or city.
