JUST SUPPOSE.

A stated reason why the president finds it
incumbent on him to return to France is the

could best be left to Europe and the states i'm

though our proper function would be to concur
in such decision on this question the allies
reach Suppose that Clemenceau and Lloyd
George should tell their nations that they must
hurry over to America to help FIX the bounda-
ries between the United States and Mexico fol-
lowing war between these two republics.
Should we not intimate to them more or less
dehcately, that they need not feel constrained
to undue haste IN coming on our account, as
We felt entirely competent to fix the boundaries
ourselves? Yet just such case as this might
arise under the league of nations, as it stands;
and this is the basis of one weighty objection
thereto.

TODAY's BIT OF VERSE
LITTLE JOYS OF EVERY DAY.

LITTLE JOYS OF EVERY DAY.
The hearts that seek for happiness,
Find many roads and travel far:
Toward distant mountain peaks they press,
And claim the guidance of a star
While, fair and sweet,
Beneath their stumbling feet,
Unheeded blossoms line the way
The little joys of every day
childs clear laugh, a new-blown rose,
a baby's soft, impulsive kiss,
The whispered words that young love knows
These may not scale the heights of bliss,
But happy, true,
Free gifts to me and you,
They turn thoughts from grave to gay
These little joys of every day.
A bird note in hushed green glade,
The murmr-ed song Of summer rain;
The sun-ripe cheek of country maid,
Deep mellow moonlight on the plain
Can music, art,
A richer charm impart?
Why do ever turn away
From little Joys of every day?
A rosy dawn, sunny noon,
An evening sweet with flowers and dew
Good work that is not done too soon,
A loving thought of friendship true
These satisfy
My mind and heart, and
But ask Of heaven when pray,
The little joys of every day.
