TODAY's POEM
IN THE NIGHT.

Sometimes grim horror grips me in the night When am fain to sleep, when I am fain Of sdrcease from the thought of woe and pain Where fields once fair are stricken with the blight And wheIm of battle; then. across my sight Pale phantoms march. a melan- choly train, The nnhouselled ghosts of the un- numbered slain That mark Mars mad and holocaus- tical rite. What will the end be? Can no puis- sant power, Mans dream and hope from some dim elder day.. With hand compassionate, exor- else the spell? Or have we fallen on that awful hour When hosts satanic. in their dire array,
 Menace the world from out the yawn of hell?

 She asked a neighbors to post the let fer so that O'ConnelI would not know Of her sacrifice. She. waited anxiously for reply.
 Some considerable time afterward- on the eve of her travail and when things with O'ConneIl were at their worst-the answer came by cable.
 She was alone when it came.
 Her heart beat furiousIy as she open ed it. Even if he only sent little it would be so welcome now when they were almost at the end If he had been generous how wonderful it would : be for her to help the man to whom nothing was too much to give. her. The fact that her brother had cabled strengthened the belief that he had hastened to come to her rescue.
 She opened the cable and read it. Then she fell back on the pillow with low, faint moan.
 When, hours later, O'ConneH return ed from vain search for work he found her senseless with the cable in her fingers. He tried to revive her without success. He sent neighbor for doctor. AS he watched the worn. patient face, his heart full to bursting, the thought flashed through him what could have happened to cause this col lapse He became conscinus of the ca ble he had found tightly clasped in her hand. He picked it up and read it. 1t was very brief. All it said was:
 You have made your bed. Lie in it.

 Toward morning the doctor placed a little mite of humanity in o'ConneIl's arms He looked down at it in a stu DOT. It had really come to pass-their ehild-Angefas s and his! A little baby girl! The tiny vail from this child, born of love and in sorrow, seemed to wakan his dull senses. He pressed the mite to him as the hot tears flowed down his cheeks. A woman in one of the adjoining fats who had kindly of fered to help took the child away from him. The doctor led him to the bed side. He looked down at his loved one A glaze was over Angela's eyes as she looked up at him. She tried to smile. All her suffering was forgotten. She knew only pride and love. She was at peace. She raised her hand, thin and transparent now, to O'ConneI. He pressed it to his lips.
 She whispered:
 s'Nfy baby. Bring me-my baby"
 He took it from the woman and placed it in Angela's weak arms. She @ d it again and again. The child walled pitifu1Iy. The effort had been too much for Angela's failing strength. Consciousness left her.
 j. Just before sunrise she woke. O'Con4 nell was sitting beside her. He had never moved. The infant was sleep ing on some blankets on the couch, the woman watching her.
 Angela motioned her husband to bend near to her. Her eyes shone with unearthly brightness. He put his ear near her lips. Her voice was very, very faint.

 There are some men who are either pitifully absentninded just at the wrong time or they are creatures of some odd circumstances, cannot imagine how a man of sense and re- spect could b1under by turning his back.

HOW TO PREVENT
 MOLD IN. ,BUTTEzR.


 Washington, Feb. 10-The impor- tant losses in butter through the growth of mold upon the tub lining, wrapper, or in the butter itself, which injures the stability of the product, have led the U. s. Department of Agriculture to investigate this sub ject. Mold in butter is usually found in three forms CD Orange yellow areas with some growth of r11yce1ium under the surface. (29 Srnudge or dirty green areas, either entirely inside the butter or with some surface growth. (3) Green surface colonies, either upon the but ter, causing decomposition, or upon the container or wrapper which will fnjure the appearance of the but ter.
 Experiments in producing mo1ds ar tihcialIy in samples of butter indicate that growth of mold in or about butter is favored by excessive eurd, by seleaky'' butter or by wet surfaces, wet wrappings or highly moist air. If butter molds readily it is an in- dication of insufficient salting. as salt up to 2.5 to 3 per cent. is sufficient to prevent mold or reduce it to negli- gible amount. The growth of lnoldss moreover, is largely reduced by keep ing the butter at low temperatures Improper storage temp ac- companied as they frequently are with moist conditions, are favorable to mold in butter. Unsalted butter is more subject to deterioration from micro organisms than sa1ted butter Successful storage of uch butter is therefore dependent upon serupulous- Iy clean, dry refrigeration. Cellars and ice refrigeration rarely furnish conditions which will prevent mold in unsaIted or slightly salted butter, although it may be delayed or reduc- ed. Butter properly made and nor ] mally salted Cup to 2.5 to 3 per cent equivalent to the use of a 12 to 15. per cent brine) will not show mold under reasonably careful handling.
 Investigators in summarizing their results emphasize the fact that we'll washed butter is less subject to mold than that with an excess of curd, but the esential factor in molding seems to be water, not protein.
 sLeaky'' butter from which milky per or container furnishes the best growth From these wet areas col self.
 Mold, the investigators f1nds will mot grow upon the surface of g piece of butter exposed to air al ordinary humidities The water in the butter is not sufficiently available | to the mold to support the develop ment of a colony unless evaporation is reduced by a high-moisture con- l tent of the surrounding air.

THE MODERN LENT

The Lenten observance of today is a typical, instance of the softening down of modern times. Some would call it the enervation of the present period. With many people the Lent en observance is simply the trading off of one amusement for another. If they drop dances during the fasting period, they areI likely to make it up by more card parties or visits to the theater.
 That Lent is a, benefit to the devo- tees of high society will be admitted even by the most higoted antagonists of the churches.
 In these circles a daily and dizzy output of balls, receptions, teas, and this were real life, It has all the ner- vous strain of hard labor. It has not the tonic effect and human interest of any real service. No wonder that the people who live this life are chronic sufferers with nervous pros tration- Lent at least stops the game for a few weeks.
 For people of the more intense type of faith, the act of fasting is felt to have peculiar virtues. Life to them is gross and flesay thing. the soul l continually hobb1ed by the coarse and carnaI body, with it's eating and drink ing, the lust of the eyes and the flesh, From that, point of view. the absten- ton from physical pleasure is puri- flying, even if bodily weakness follows, and the result enables one to see through this veil of sense into the real and vital spiritual world around us.
 Most of us can not rise to this level. People are hurried and driven by i daily cares and the wider visions are 1 clouded and blurred. Let brings many people into the churches. where for a little they are reminded that life is no tall making money and keeping house and going to picture | shows.
 | For the ordinary person, acts of real service to the world seem the most | practical use to be made of this season of religious observance

THE GIRL WHO
 WAITS TOO LONG
'I cannot love as I have loved And yet I know not why. It is the one great woe Of life To feel all feeling die.s'

The girl who has plenty of 'beaux is the one you think will not remain sim gle long. But she who has a number of young men to choose from is often unable to win a proposal from any one of them. Tom admires her. but is fearful lest she may be necouraging him to lead others on. Jack. sldores her, but fears he is not clever enough to hold her affection for a time. George is infatuated with her, yet inagines a girl so popular would not be content to settle down and accept. cheerfulIy the few pleasures which his. purse would allow him to- bestow upon her. Jim could love her, he thinks, but welIl, what's the use! If her other than he, feared to propose. what chance would he have of gaining the prize?

 Her suitors at first came singIy to call upon her. After a while, she en- tertained them without partiality amused when the quartet took leave together. In that way, not one. Of them had an opportunity to whisper love words, at parting. When they i departed in a group. how could she show partiaIity by inviting one to call soon without giving an equally cordial invitation. to the rest?
