till weary people, as they slept
would dream OF Noah and his ark.
At last the rain no longer dr1pped,
no longer soaked the aching land !;

skipped, the sun appeared at ms

structive fun to see the people
stand around. and heap their
blessings on the sun. The matron

We don't appreciate the sun while
it pursues its daily course: but

break diplomatic relations with the

subject dealt with was the American
situation.
The conference is also said to have
received an important declaration
from Count Czernin Won Chaudenitz
the Austro-Hungarian foreign minis.
ter on the possibility of an early
peace. The emperor of Austria in
tends, it is added, to make state

Winthrop, a town of about 140O
population, shifted from the "wet''
