Leaves From Our Poets.
Ode to Silence

These are the hours, when night defending
low
Enfolds us as a mother breasts her brood.
That tranquilizes the mind like streams that
flow
In that serenity of solitude.
Here reason rules DER thoughts that err'd
by day;
And conscience in its brooding brings at
last
The varied scenes where idleness would lay,
The devious roads we travelled in the past.
To weep were but the passion of the soul,
Pending its spirit from bondage free
To rise again in quest of that lost goal
Which bears an emblem of democracy.
The stihed fount must drain then as it would
The soothing flow shall leave hope to share
Where hosts companioned in one brother
hood
Shall onward march with crosses we would
bear.
Nor think it but weakling's mood to
grieve
That better self has ever felt the pain;
With new resolve the heart would now re-
ceive
The strength to rise and try the light again.
Into spaces of the great unknown,
Sometimes our fancy wings, as birds in
flights
On alien strands we find our spirits blown,
Seeking the mystic in the folds of night.
There on the shore where pillows pack the
sand
And wave borne chantings sweep an endless
sea,
Too vast for thought, that like the wind is
famed
Swallowed DER depths of its immensely.
The sense recoils, lifting the eyes to gaze
Where stars, twinkling in beauty Ger head,
Beat out rhythm as they wax and blaze.
In dulcet metres, mayhap. to our dead.
Let him who flushed with spirits of the wine,
Singing in ribald song of life and death,
Come to this waste beneath these stars and
dine,
Till the cool air shall face that stagnant
breath.
One tiney speck, so infinitely small,
Sinking in the quicksand where His steps
have trod,
Grasps for the straw of hope. with feeble
call.
That soul tormented, lisps the name of God.
A quest unended in this silent hour,
A hope new born to lead us on.
Where faith DER knowledge gives man
power
To rise, rejoicing at each new glad dawn.

Mass was held in the Auditorium last
Sunday morning, Father Barry officiating.
The man who makes up his mind that
no work is too hard for him will succeed in
life.
Several Catholics from the outside came
to early mass last Sunday morning. A
good many inmates in here could 60, but
they seem to be ashamed to do so.
The electricians were busy for several
days in the Auditorium during the week
fixing up the stage for next Sundays
Quarterly Chautauqua Meeting. 1t is safe
to say that they have done good job.
There are several openings in the choir
and band, any of the new arrivals who want
to Join either one should make themselves
known to the Musical Director through the
guards or the Deputies.
One large car of cement was received
in the yard during the week and transferred
to the basement under the Steward S De.
partment, for what purpose we are unable
to state at this time.
One of the largest and finest ranches in
Nebraska is ranch "I733," near Kearney.
1t is exactly 1893 miles from San Francisco
and from Boston, being in the center of the
continent, East and West
We have mentioned the fact once before
that some of the inmates are very carless in
handling library books. Writing in, and
tearing out pictures from the books is strict
ly against the rules. This practise may get
you in serious trouble.
NO danger of freezing this winter. The
coal is coming by cars and by wagons.
Several teams were busy last Friday helping
to make the piles bigger. BY the way, the
old fire hold eats up goodly amount of
coal daily-enough to last poor family
several years.
"A good outside friend has donated
several dozen Christian books to our library,
which will be in circulation as soon as they
are numbered. They make splendid read
ing for the serious minded who do not read
fiction or magazines. The print is large
and plain to see.

Worlds Greatest WeaverS

The ancient Indians of Peru are now re-
garded as the worlds greatest weavers.
This noteworthy revelation in the history
of textile art is the result of the critical ex-
Animation of many rich and beautiful
tapestries and other fabric executed by the
gifted ancient Indian population of Peru.
Though buried three centuries or more in
the sandy desert after being made with pri-
plements, these wonderful fabrics are now
found to be superior to those turned out by
the automatic looms of the great mills of
today. The primitive Peruvian handloom
consisted of two sticks, one at the top and
one at the bottom.-Er.

Protect the Birds

into wood and drag forth the hidden larvae
that prey on our forest monarchs. The
flyca,chers from their perches dash out for
their prey as it flies from bush to bush or
tree to tree, while the swallow and swifts
skim the air, and with intricate evolutions
snap up such insects as have escaped the
active search of their brethren nearer the
earth.
The waters, too, and their shores have
their feathered denizens which exact special
tribute of the insect world. So that, quite
aside from questions of sentiment, birds
must be adjudged to play an active part in
keeping natures balance true. Their role
is all the more important, since no other
creatures are fitted for their duties. More
over, if we may Judge the future by the
past, the services of birds must become in
creasingly valuable as time goes on.
Agriculture, always important in the
United States. is constantly assuming great
er Importance. The stream of immigration
from the Old World and the steady increase
of our own millions mean an ever-augument-
ing consumption of food at home, while the
demand from abroad for American food
stuffs never ceases for a moment.
To supply this triple demand, better
methods of tillage must be devised and
more and more acreage must be devoted to
agriculture. In part this need of increased
acreage is to be met by irrigation projects,
which when materialized will make avail

| mist.
The Pickering of the sun as it shot an oc-
casional ray down through the tangle made
it almost impossible to see the sights on the
rifle. but l located a narrow opening that
extended to the animal, lined the sights with
| coarse bead and when streak of sunlight
| shot through the tall reeds, let drive at the
huge shoulder and he went down-a giant
of his species. He was feet 2 inches over
all, including an l1-inch tail, and stood 8
| feet inches at the shoulder, while in girth
at the middle of the body he was s feet
inches.
| Besides his remarkable size, the giant pig
is strikingly noteworthy in point of color;
also for his inability or indisposition to
utter sound, as we'll as for his extremely
wide and large mouth and the fender-like
growths of bone and hard skin beneath the
eyes, which protects these organs in his wild
headlong dashes through the dark jungle.
NATIVES who have lived their lives in
close proximity to this peculiar species de-
clare that they never utter sound. Their
long, glossy coat of black contains not a
hair of a different hue, and the deep black
! extends over all the mucous membranes; the
teeth are black and the eyes as glossy black
as pair of beads of glass. But the ex-
tremely large mouth almost robs them of
the appearance of the swine, Instead of the
long, tapering muzzle, the mouth is almost
as broad as the head at the eyes, and the
lips taper down to thin sharp edge, cap
able of cutting the tender vines and young
bamboo ON which the animal feeds. He
never roots, as does all the other members
of the swine family. The teeth are of the
s. wine type, the tusks short and stout.
The puzzing question about this peculiar
species is, "Why are they so few in num-
Der, with no enemies but an occasional ma
tive and less occasional leopardl'' And
doubt very much whether spots could
create an impression on one of these mature
beasts. l am quite certain of the con-
sequences should the unfortunate cat through
some miscalculation, fall into the power

able, for farms and homes, millions of acres
of now sterile desert.
Without birds. successful agriculture
would be impossible. But increased acre
age and larger crops mean a vast increase
of insect life as the result of more constant
and abundant supply of food. Even, now
despite the increased warfare waged against
them, insects are not diminishing in num-
bers. On the contrary, in many localities
they are increasing. Especially are new
pests finding their way into the country,
and as these usually are unaccompanied by
the enemies which keep them in check at
home, they frequently run riot in the new
found Paradise. Well known instances of
this fact are the cotton boil weevil and the
gypsy and brown-taiied moths, and it is
estimated by the United States Agriculture
Department, that the annual loss of agri-
cultural products from insect ravages in the
United States, is no less than five hundred
million dollars.
To the birds, then, we must look for
allies inthe continuous warfare against insect
pests. and if they are to play even the same
relative part in the future as they have in
the past, they should not only be protected,
but determined efforts should be made to
increase their numbers and make their
work more effective.
What would happen we're birds extermi-
mated, no one can foretell with absolute
certainty but it is more than likely-nay-it
is almost certain-that within limited
time not only would successful agriculture
the greater part of vegetation would fol-
low. 1t is believed that a permanent re-
duction in numbers of our birds, even if no
species are actually exterminated, will in
evitably be followed by disastrous con-
sequences.
1t should arouse feeling of pride in us
Americans that our republic has taken a
foremost place among the nations that care
| for and protect birds. Much has already
been accomplished in this country in the
kcause of bird protection, but much still re-
mains to be done. So long as dead birds
for hat gear are valued at higher rate than
living birds, and so long as game birds
count for more in the way of sport and food
than as active working friends of the farm
er, so long will there be missionary work to
do, for those of us who care.

Blame it on the Tire

He didn't pump it full enough, though all
the air is free;
He left it soft and spongy like, and scooted
on with glee;
He skidded and he gridded and whooped
through dust and mire,
And when it burst
He cursed and cursed,
And blamed it on the tire.
He drove it on the street car tracks with
confidence superb;
He scraped it on the lamp post and he scrap
ed it on the curb;
He slammed it and he jammed it any way
he might desire,
And when it popped,
Right out he hoped,
And blamed it on the tire.
He cut it on some broken glass, but said
that didn't hurt;
He kept right on through sand and mud
and filled the cut with dirt
1t spotted here aud rotted there and soon
he howled in ire,
When up it blew
He blew up too,
And blamed it on the tire
He put on chains that ground and chewed
and gouged into the tread;
He knew his wheels where out of line, "blt
what of that" he said.
He whizzed along and sized along, he
picked up nails and wire,
And when it banged
His fists he whanged,
And blamed it on the tire.
Who is this man? Go ask the boys who
meet him every day.
Go ask the boys who have to hear the things
he has to say.
He bores in and he roars in with words of
angry fire
Though he's to blame,
It's all the same
He blames it on the tire.
