MUCH LIKE LIFE'S PATHWAY
Effective Parable in Edward esereu Haie's Description of ooinqs os
 Picnic Party.

You all go out to a picnic, and meet together in some pleasant place Tn the woods. and you put down the baskets there. and leave the pail with the Ice in the handiest place you eaa ma, ana cover it with the blanket. Then you su set out in the great forest. But it is only few of the party who choose to start hand in hand along . gravel path which leads straight 10 the well. aud probably those few en- tov IasS and galn less from the days excursion than any of the rest. Ihe rest break up into indifferent knots' .nd go some here. some there, as their occasion aud their geuius call them. Some go after flowers. some after berries, some after buttern'es some knock the rocks to pieces some elimb mn to where there is tine view. some sit down aud copy the stumps, some 20 into the water. some make a fire. some find a camp Of Indians and learn to make baskets. These all come hack to the picnic camp in good order each eager to tell what pc nas seen and heard, each having satisneu his taste and genius and each anu ah having made vastly more ot their oas than if they had held to the gravel path and walked in column to the well and back again.

ITALIAN SITUATION.

PARIS, May g. The Italian issue is still unsettled. American AmbasSa- dor Page and French Ambassador Barrere are both at Rome today con- ferring with Premier Orlando. Am baSsador Page, who came here earlier in the week, suggested that French Ambassador Barrere, who was also summoned here, return with him and confer with Orlando to try and fini solution of the present Plume and Dalmation coast controversy.
 Premier Orlando, according to con- fidential advices, is disposed to resume relations but thinks that the Paris Peace Conference should make over turers.
 Premier Orlando has written an open letter to the people of Italy and also to the Italian press depreciating the anti-American demonstrations. The letter stated that if America hal not come into the war breach, the Ital- 'ans would have not been able to have any sort of demonstration as the Americans alone saved Italy from the Teutonic Powers.
