SEN1IE REFUSES
TO RATIET TREATY
Washington, Nov. 19.—Failing
after three attempts to ratify the
peace treaty the senate late tonight
laid it aside, ended the special ses
sion and went home.
All compromise efforts to bring
ratification failed,' the three resolu
tions of ratification all going down
by overwhelming majorities. The
Republican leaders apparently
despairing of bringing two-thirds
of the senate together for any sort
of ratification, then put in a reso-
Jution to declare the war at an end.
Two or the three ratification
Votes were taken on the resolution
f
drafted by the Republican majori
ty, containing reservations which
r T5eimr
cratic senators in a letter earlier in
the day would mean nullification of
the treaty. On each of the votes
most of the Democratic supporters
of the treaty voted against ratifica
tion. —
The first vote on this resolution
stood 39 to 55 against. On the sec
ond vote, taken after several hours
of parliamentary wrangling in
which the Democrats made vain ef
forts to win over some of the Re
publican group of mild reservation-
ists, 41 senators voted in the affirm
ative and 51 in the negative.
The third vote was on a straight
out ratification without reservations
which got only 38 votes to 53 op
posing it. Only one Republican,
Senator McCumber, of North Da
kota, voted with the Democrats in
<its support.
Republican Leader Lodge ' de
clared today’s voting constituted a
final decision on the peace treaty
unless President Wilson circum
vented the senate rules by with
drawing it and then submitting it
again to the senate. In other,quar-
~ters there was some -difference
opinion, but the general sentiment

Patch, Ky. Read what
she writes: "I had a
general breaking-down
of my health. I was in
bed for weeks, unable to |
get up. 1 had such a
weakness and dizziness,
... and the pains were
very severe. A friend
told me I had tried every
thing else, why not
Cardui ?... 1 did, and
soon saw it was helping
me... After 12 bottles,

Do you feel weak, diz
zy, worn-out? Is your
lack of good health caused
from any of the com
plaints so common to ' 1
women? Then why not
give Cardui a trial? It
should surely do f&r you
what it has done for so
many thousands of other
women who suffered—it
should help you back to
health.
Ask some lady friend 1
who has taken Cardui.
She will tell you how it
helped her. Try Cardui.
AD Druggists
seemed to be that there was only a
slender chance that the treaty
wmuld come up at the beginning of
the •ftex^ session of eongress, begin
ning next month.
One effect of the senate’s failure
to ratify the treaty will be the con-
t.iima.tiQD. af various Wiir-timp laws
and regulations at least until the
new session opens. Among these is
the wartime prohibition act.
The resolution presented tonjght
to declare a state of peace will come
up at the beginning of the new ses
sion nnd is expected to start anoth
er stubborn fight. The administra
tion is understood to bp opposed to
such.a method of legally ending the
war, and in the background, is a
constitutional question as to wheth-
r congress can do so by a resolu
tion not requiring the President’s
signature.
It was suggested tonight among
ir'senhtbrs fhaf Presfdefff
Wilson might be asked during the
recess to feel out the other powers
as to their attitude on reservations
with the idea of bringing the treaty
to some sort of a ratification after
congress reassembles.

HARVEST FESTIVALS OF OLD
Greeks and Romans Had Days of
Thanksgiving for the Fruitful
Gifts of the Earth.
Greece, In the months of August and
fleptqmher of each year. flitar ihft h»j»-
vest had been gathered, celebrated the
great feast known as the Eleuslnla, or
the feast;to Demeter of
robe. .Demeter, the great earth-moth
er, was the goddess of cornfields and
harvests. Her daughter, Persephone,
while gathering flowers one day, was
kidnaped by Pluto. Demeter searched
for her long by land and sea, and at
last learned that her lost daughter had
been married to Pluto, the dark spec
ter of the underworld, and that she
was now his queen in the realm be
low. But Persephone had eaten a
pomegranate, seed and could remain
with her mother only part of the year.
This made Demeter angry, and she left
the gods and made her dwelling upon
the earth. She taught Celeus, king of
Eleusis, agriculture, how to plow, sow
and reap. This feast was one of the
grandest of the Greek festivals.
The Romans celebrated a harvest
festival called the Cerealla. It took
its name from Ceres, who was the
Demeter of the Romans, and the feast
was celebrated at some time In the
month of October. Sacrifices of the
best fruits and honey cakes were of
fered up in the temple. Processions
were made to the fields by men and
women dressed In white and crowned
with oak leaves and popples. Ceres
was represented in a chariot drawn
by dragons, her head crowned with a
garland of corn ears, and holding a
basket of poppies In her hand. This
festival was a general holiday time.
Coming down to a more modern
time, we read of thanksgivings In Hol
land and in England, the recollection
of whose “harvest homes,” perhaps,
inspired the Puritans to inaugurate the
custom In this country. The first
Thanksgiving on American soil, ac
cording to the well, credited chronicler,
Edward Winslow, was held In 1021, 10
months after the landing of the Pil
grims, when, the crops being garnered,
they felt spring up within their hearts
a feeling of praise and thanksgiving.
It lasted almost a week, and was par
ticipated in by King Massasoit and
90 of his braves, who were feasted and
entertained for three days, the new
comers showing their guests their pro
ficiency In arms, expertness in wres
tling, etc. To show their prowess in
turq, “the Indians went' out and killed
five deer, which they brought to the
plantation and bestowed on the gov
ernor and upon Captain Miles Standish
nnd others,” a fine contribution to the
feast.
