W1NTKK WINDS.
Tho winter, alow dragging, is
spoiling our lives, the wild winds
are nagging like Billingsgate
wives; all day they are ranting,
they give us a pain, all night they
are chanting a dippy refrain. The
wild winds are bolder than wild
winds should^ be, and keener and
colder than bergs In the sea; they
come and deliver a smart and a
sting, and sufferers - shiver and
clamor for spring. And «H>rlng will
be slippin' along pretty soon, and
spring is a pippin, with rosea of
•lune. And how we will love her,
the garlanded spring, when mock-
ingbirds hover around us and sing!

The result of the vote on the treaty
as taken in nearly 400 universities and
colleges, it seems to us, is fairly rep-
resentative of the attitude of the
whole people toward it, for its percen-
tage bears out that of the Senate
where eighty-four Senators voted for
ratification, on one basis or another.
So far in the balloting 92,466 votes
have been recorded. Eighty-three
thousand, eight hundred and ten of
these favored ratification one way or
another and only 9,566 votes were
cast all told for unqualified rejection
of the treaty and the league of Na-
tions covenants. For ratification with
the “mild” reservation amendments—

Ebenezer Jonen, the English poet,' Ih
one of the baffling figures of litera-
ture concerning whom critlca like tol
speculate.
He was born Ln London in 1820 and
waa an uhuhuuI, highly imaginative
child and h great puzzle to his par-
ents. liis father was a strict (Talviniat
who sent hia won to a atupid middle-
cIhkn school to be educated. On his
fathvr’H death, in order to earn IyIh liv-
ing’, Ebenezer became a clerk In the
otficte of a tea merchant; but out of
office hotiTH he lived In an entirely dif-
ferent world, where auch people hr the
poets Shelley and Thomas Carlylie
were what hr called his Hptrn*ml mas-
terR.
A booi< which he brought out when
he whh 23. whr unkindly received and
added the last drop to his bitter cup
of life. Thoroughly discouraged, tie de-
stroyed all his manuscripts ami earn-
ed his living as a clerk. Years later,
when he was 40 and dying of consump-
tion, he wrote three remarkable poems.
"Winter Hymn to the Snow," and
"When the World is burning” are two
of them.
Fame came to him 10 years after his
death.
"These dreay hours of hopeless gloom
Are all of life I fain would know; >
I would but feel my life consume
While bring they back by ancient woe;
For, rnidwt the clouds <»f gPief ami
shame
That crowd around, one /ace I see—
It Is the face 1 dare not name.
The face none ever name to me.’”
