Dragons side on the lee Of the prone

beams from lighted ports. For little
the girl telished all this with gladness.
But presently her spirits sagged again
and she grew drowsy, and fingered

warm-hearted old woman who had
adopted her pro tempore-"on suspi-

Honorable Charles Durkee, congress-
man from Wisconsin's first district,
was one of Americas representatives
at the great Peace Congress held in
1749 at Paris. One of the first free
sellers elected to Congress, Durkee
was an advanced thinker on many public
questions. In Washington, Durkee's
friends were among the idealists who
hoped for the abolition of all the evils
which beset the world, and who under
the leadership of Elihu Currit, known
as the learned blacksmith were
endeavoring to establish world peace.
Burrit had been for some timd in
Europe, and had organized movement
for great Congress of peace lovers
from all the European states. To this
congress Durkee was sent as delegate
from the United States. and was
chosen one of its vice-presidents. The
president was Victor Hugo, who thrill
ed his auditors by his eloquent denun-
Citations of the war system. The con-
gress was acclaimed in Paris, and its
members lavishly entertained. Durkee,
pioneer of Wisconsin, enjoyed his
glimpse of the great world. Upon his
return to his frontier home he present
ed to the Historical Society Of the
State valuable collection of pamphlets
on the early movement for World
Peace.
