Illness and Literature.

There is nothing like good, long
illness for the cultivation of pure lit
erature. 1t should not be too severe
or needlessly painful, for then you may
overshoot the mark and be too weary
to read or be read to. 1t is possible
to have too much of even the best
things. But proper, comfortable i'll
ness, that keeps you in bed, yet leaves
you free to read; that banishes all
the Interruptions of life, the cOnstitu-
tional walks, the stupid visits, the an
noying correspondence, the dressing
and the undressing, and all the ameni-
ties of modern civilization, and allows
you to lie at peace and read your fill,
is among the best gifts of the gods.
You soon forget to be sleepy and lazy,
your mind displays an unwonted ac-
dvity, and you become conscious of an
Unsuitable craving for books-Ohio

Great British Soldier.

Arthur Wellesley, first Duke We'll
lington, was born probably on the Goth
of April, 1863, in Dublin. He was an
unpromising boy, and his mother, de-
Gliding that her ugly boy, Arthur" was
fit food for powder and nothing else,"
sent him to military academy at An
gers, France. He entered the army in
1887 and rose rapidly, seeing much
service, until his great opportunity
came when Napoleon returned from
Elba and Wellington was summoned
to command the forces of the English
and allies in Belgium, In cooperation
with the Prussians under Blucher. The
battles of Ligny and Quatre Bras were
followed by the battle of Waterloo,
June IS, 1915, which finally shattered
the power Of Napoleon. Wellington
was buried in st. Paul's cathedral, No
vember 1S, 1852.

which is OF Polynesian or perhaps Ma
lay origin. 1t made practicable the
exploration of the Pacific and the set
tlement of island groups separated
from one another by vast distances.
The great sailing canoes in which mi
grants from Tahiti voyaged northward
over thousands of miles of trackless
ocean to the Hawaiian islands, nobody
knows how many centuries ago, giving
to that archipelago its first popula-
ton, carried so or more men and wom-
en-. presumably with children accom-
panying.
Captain Cook, the first white explor-
er to map the Pacific, found oil the
island groups inhabited. The peoA
pie did not say to him: 1--WE are
discovered at last" They were them
selves the discoverers. Long centu-
ries before Captain Cook was born
they had traversed all parts of that
ocean; and the Polynesian navigators
had mapped it for themselves with
curious charts made of little sticks.
Children in that part of the world are
brought up in boats. They are am
phiblous. Canoes for themselves they
make out of followed logs, with sticks
Of bamboo for outriggers. Land and
water are the same to them: they are
equally at home in the sea or on terra

WOULD FREE IRISH
IN PEACE TREATY

A resolution declaring Ireland to
be a free and independent state has
been prepared in the Senate, to be
offered as an amendment to the pea %
treaty. The resolution provides:
That that portion of the British
empire known as the island of Ire
land is hereby recognized as a free
and sovereign state"
Senator Ashurst of Arizona made
this announcement, asserting that he
had been shown a copy of the reso-
luton by the Senator who PURPOSES
to introduce IL. He declined 10, di-
vulge the name of the Senator.
The possibilities attendant upon
the presentation of such a resolution
in the peace treaty discussion would
be very great. This is especially
true, in view Of the fact that the
Borah resolution urging recognition
of the Irish delegates at the peace
conference passed the Senate by The
vote of go to 1.
While a majority Of such prouor-
tions might not be recorded in favor
of a resolution recognizing Ireland's
freedom, yet it is conceded that Il
majority OF the Senate in all prob
ability would favor it.

all that went on.
The skies, which had been overcast,
started to clear as the proceeding
opened The strains of music could
be family heard as DR.. Mueller signed
the treaty. Bands were massed in
the district and the strains came
through open windows.
As the allied commissioners stepped
out on to the terrace they were greet
ed with the booming. of guns. The
fountains in the park surrounding
the palace began to play, sending
thousands OF sparkling jets into the
air. Several thousand civilians, de-
lirious with joy, broke into cheers.
Crowd Sweeps Barriers.
A portion of the crowd swept over
the police barriers and pelted the
delegates with flowers. The allied
officials, temporarily pehned in.
started to turn back toward the pal

In the hall of mirrors, the table
where the treaty was signed stood
within a few yards of the spot where
William was crowned German en-
peror and the German empire was pro-
claimed.
At the Hotel Des Reservoirs the
Germans congregated in the court
yard, solemn, but declaring they now
must look to the future.
AS the hour Of signing approached,
the crowds fairly stormed the gates Of
the palace. Wealthy Frenchmen were
reported Offering $40, 900 for tickets Of
admission.

Two white quill pens and three am

glasses, hanging fro ma broad black

narrowly watched the exchanges.
Premier CIemenceau sat deep in his
chair, half scowling. as he swept the
room with glances from beneath his
bushy eyebrows. If anything, he
seemed thinner than ever His hands
were incased in the usual white
gloves.
