The Iil-Omened Thing

This argument that opposition to this
league means that we are against any
league or against the peace Of the world
is the most prepostrous statement ever
made. The great and beautiful cause Of
peace is not boand up within the four
corners Of the ill-omened thing Mr. wiz
son brought back from Paris.-Henry
Cabot Lodge.
When Noah had worked four or five
months on the ark some Of the village
wits came down to the river bank, found
a shady seat under tn sycamores and be-
! gan to make sportiye remarks about his
vessel. They objected to its proportions;
they said IL looked topheavy. and that
they wouldn't trust themselves out IN 1t
in heavy dew. Noah observed that It
looked like rain.
! When 1t appeared that there was only
one door and one window the critics un-
der the sycamores were riotous in their
merriment. How did Noah think he
was going to get out of 1t in case Of fye2
And did he intend to lock himself and his
family up in that ill-omened thing along
with lot Of animals, some of whom had
seven votes to his one-animaIs whose
ideals were not his and never could bes
Noah merely remarked that he thought
a spell Of weather might be expected. and
that when it came he intended to be IN
out Of the wet
/ Thereupon some of the more touchy Of
/ his neighbors said that 1t was preposter-
ous to assert that they didn't know
enough to get in out of the rain. or that
they were against any ark merely be-
cause they were not suited by this par
ticular illomened thing that Noah was
constructing. They didn't think much
of Noah as a weather prophet, but If It
should start to rain they would hopefully
approach one another and assemble the
best minds of the nation for the build
ing Of ark which should be designed
on the proper principles. But Noah, by
that time, was pounding in another spike
and heard no more; so the rest Of their
argument has been lost to posterity. We
could have used almost any kind of ark
in the last week of July, 1914-New York
Times.

lands cause to the conscience Of the
world.
Senator Harding. the Republican
candidate, says Ireland's cauro is a
domestic matter for Great britain

support of the free nations Of the
earth, that is conceivable bp peacea-
BILE means. Another world war is IN
