 Pleasure is divided into two kinds: One is composed of receiving agreeable sensations; the other is de- rived from eXerting ones self. The pleasures of sensation must be taken sparinsly. They soften a nd make for degeneration. Eating, drinking, smoking, lazincss, baths, sleep, massage, thcatcrs and music all are fine in their place and when not taken in excess. Their greatest menace lies in making of one a pleasure seeker, a desire 7o go through life on a bed of roses says the St Joseph, (Mo) NeWs-Prcss

End of European War in Sight.
(WatcrDurN DemOcrat.)

(WatcrDurN DemOCrat.)
 The European war is on tOtterirg legs and it is anticipated that t!is summer will close up hOstilities, and that a start for final settlement all around will be made. None of the big nations will get away with any increased territory. The only change in that respect wilt be some Slicing up of the small nations. which will make for a more permanent pcaee when it comes. This war will accomplish orc great result That iS if will show that all the nations involved have put up an amazing fight, and that the bravery of all has been equally creditabl to their cOlOrs. None has shown a white feather anywhere. They have shown beyond cavil that their soldiers and people are made of the same valiant material as are those of this country, as evidenced in our civil war, both north and south alike which is our proud record. and that is convincing proof that there will never be another such War. Neither will there he a:Eain, between the great nations of Europe. another such fight as at present. nor should there be between other great nations in other parts of the world, as the devastating European war makes it self-cvident that there is nothing to be gained in the end from such huge struggles compensatory with the sa crifice of human life. destruction of property general suffering a nd dreadful misery entalled thereby throughout the entire world. And all 6ax what God only knows!

But the session came to naught. One
!Of the members had not been notified
of the meeting and the confederation

would have constituted an irregularity
and placed in question the validity Of
any acts of the session. Hence the
meeting was adjourned until an oc-
casion. for which. all members of the
council should receive notice. 81
Following adjournment the members
had an informal conference over mat

OPPOSED TO SUFFRAGE

The regular business session was CIV
EN- the attention of the order first, fol-
lowing which Mrs. l.. Il. COrlett ad-
dressed the company on Womans
Suffrage. The address was quite in
teresting and Mrs. Corlett gave many
facts which were of interest, and
facts which were startling revelations
to number OF the company.
An Interesting fact about last
nights Ineeting was that there were
only about two men in the company
who were in favor of wOman's suf-
frage The rest of the men were all
opposed, or, at, least not in favor of
the question. One lady who was in
attendance LETT the room as soon as
the subject Of Mrs. Corletts address
was made known. While these facts
are spoken of, they are mentioned
just to illustrate the disadvantage at
which the speaker was placed AS to
the attitude of the ladies who remain
ed in the ROOM, some were in favor
of, the question, some were against it
and some were neutral/ Mrs. Cor
lett spoke conVincingly and with au-
thority. 49,.
Immediately after the address, ar
rangements we're made by those OPP
posed to suffrage to have with them
on their next meeting night speak

question. Just who this will be they
do not know as, yet, but all plans are
made and Mr. and Mrs. Corlett have
been invited to the meeting as special
