Personal Thrusts Among
Members.
HITCHCOCK DEMANDS
A SEARCHING PROBE
BY Working Over Sunday
Council of Four Expect to
Answer German Counter
Proposals Monday.

Washington, June Sin more
than five hours heated debate
today the senate ran the whole
scale of issues involved in the
peace treaty fight. Starting
with the controversy over the
publication of the treaty, the
discussion drifted to principles
of the treaty itself, and the
League of Nations and before 1t
was finished involved charges OF
partisanship and politics from
both sides of the chamber.
Senator Hitchcock charged
that Lodge and Borah made an
attack OF almost scandalous ma
ture" on the president in state
ments telling of copies OF un-
published treaty in New York.
Hitchcock demanded a search
ING Investigation. Senator Lodge
reDlied there was nothing to
conceal and he would welcome
an investigation which should
include also the democratic state
department. Borah made a
similar statement and then
charged there was "a conduit"
between those backing the league
TO enforce peace, headed by for
mer President Taft, and those
who possess information as to
what is in the treaty.
Tonight Acting Secretary Polk
of the state department took a
hand in the controversy, issuing
. statement denying the declara-
tion Of Senator Lodge during
debate that the state department
had told newspaper men finaA-
cial sections of the treaty were
in the hands of financial inter-
ests in New York.

Joy, uouDtIess, Tor GOu KNOWS now long
it had been since the poor, abandoned
soul had seen a merry Christmas and
shared it's kindness. I did not fail to
observe how clean her face and hands
looked! She was greatly changed.
She took my hand as I went to her
side and tenderly caressed it. A gen
tier smile came to her face than ever
I had seen upon it. The old stern look
returned for a moment as she held one
finger aloft in a gesture which only
and my Aunt Deel understood. We
knew it s%ignalized a peril and a mys.
terry. That I should have to meet it,
somewhere up the hidden pathway,
had no doubt whatever.
Dinners ready! exclaimed the
cheerful voice Of Aunt Deel.
Then what a stirring Of chairs and
feet as we sat down at the table. Old
Kate sat by the side Of my aunt and
we were all surprised at her good man
rers.
We TESTED and laughed and drank
cider and reviewed the years history
and ate as only they may eat who have
big bones and muscles and the vitality
Of oxen. I never taste the flavor of
sage and currant jelly or hear a hearty
laugh without thinking Of those holt
day dinners in the old log house on
Rattleroad.
That Christmas brought me nothing
better than those words, the memory
of which is one of the tallest towers in
that long avenue of my past down
which I have been looking these many
days. About all you can do for a boy,
worth while, is to give him something
good to remember.
The day had turned dark. The tenn
pcrature had risen and the air was
dank and chilly. The men began to
hitch up their horses.
So, one by one, the sleighloads left
US with CHEEKY good-bys and a grind.
Fig of and a jingling Of bells
When the last had gone Uncle Pea
body and l went into the house. Aunt
Deel sat by the stove, old Kate by the
window looking out at the falling dusk
How still the house seemed!
There's one thing I forgot" I saic
as I proudly took out Of my wallet the
six one-dollar bills which I had earned
6y working Saturdays and handed
three Of them to my aunt and three tc
my uncle. saying:
"That is my Christmas present tc
you. | earned it myself"
I re1Lrmber so well their astonish'
ment ami the trembling of their hands
aid the look of their faces.
ITS grand-ayes!" Aunt Deel said
in q low tone.
She rose in Il moment and beckoned
to me and MY uncle. We followed her
through the open door to the other
room.
"Tll tell We what I'd do" she whis-
pered. I'D give 'em to oil Kate
ayes! She's goin' to stay with us TILL
tomorrow"
"Good idee" said Uncle Peabody.
So I took the money out Of their

hands aid wGst- if and gave it to"tne
Silent Woman.
"That's your present from me-" I
said.
How can I forget how she held my
arm against her with that loving, IA
miliar, rocking motion OF a woman
who is soothing a baby at her breast
and kissed my coat sleeve? She re-
leased my arm and, turning to the win
dow, leaned her head upon it's sill and
shook With sobs. The dusk a thick
ened. AS l returned to my seat by the
stove l could dimly see her form
against the light of the window. We
sat in silence for a little while.
Then Uncle Peabody rose and got a
candle and lighted it at the hearth.
l held the lantern While Uncle Pea
body fed the sheep and the two COWS
and milked-a slight chore these win
tel days.
"You and 1 are to go off to bed purity
early he said as we were going back
to the house. eyer Aunt Deel wants
to see Kate alone and git her to talk
if she can
II dunno but she'll swing back into
this world ag'in," said Uncle Peabody
when we had gone up to our little
room. 81 guess all she needs is to be
treated like q human bein'. Vel Aunt
Heel an 1 couldn't git over thinkin' O.
what she done for you that night in
the OF barn. SO I took some O. yer
aunt's good clothes to her an a pair
O. boots an asked her to come to
Christmas. She lives in a little
over the blacksmith shop down to But
terield's mill. 1 told her I'd come
after her with the cutter but she shook
her head. / knew she'd rather walk"
He was yawning as he spoke and
soon we were both asleep under the
shingles.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1919-05-08

In the midst of it Aunt Deel opened
the front door and old Kate, the Silent
Woman, entered. To my surprise, she
wore a decent-looking dress Of gray
homespun cloth and a white cloud
Topped over her head and ears and tied
around her neck and a good pair of
boots.
"Merry Christmas !" we all shouted.
She smiled and nodded her head and
sat down in the chair which Uncle Pea
body had placed for her at the stove
side. Aunt Deel took the cloud off
her head while Kate drew her mittens
newly knitted Of the best yarn. Then
my aunt brought some stockings and O
shawl from the tree and laid them on
the lap of old Kate. What a silence
fell upon us as we saw tears courslng
down the cheeks of this lonely old
woman of the countryside-tears OF

The women and the big girls rolled
up their sleeves and went to work with
Aunt Deel preparing the dinner. The
great turkey and the chicken pie were
made ready and put in the oven and
the potatoes and the onions and the
winter squash were oon boiling in
their pots on the stovetop. Mean
while the children were playing in my
aunt's bedroom and Uncle Hiram and
Uncle Jabez were pulling sticks in a
corner while the other men sat tipped
against the wall watching and making
playful comments-all save my Uncle
