I NREST in America is spreading II is

protest and are being misled, in many cases,

means OF securing for themselves what they

These facts are indisputabe. They stand
out boldly and ominousy in the life OF the

measure OF alarm. They seem to herald
day of wreck and gloom upon this continent

Walking nj Night.

My face is wet with the rain,
Eut my heart is warm TO the core.
For j follow at will again
The road that ! loved OF yore:
And the dim trees beat the dark,
And the swelling bitches moan,
FOR my heart is singing. soaring
For I travel the road alone.
Alone in the living night.
Away from the babble of tongues;
Alone with the old delight
or the night wind in my lungs;
And the wet air on by cheeks
And the warm blood in my veins
Alone with the Joy he knows who
seeks
The thrcsh of the young spring rains.
With the smell of the pelted earth,
The fearful drip OF the trees.
Making him dream of the sound of
That comes with the clearing breeze.
IT'S a rare and wondrous sight
To tramp the wet awhile
And watch the slow delight
or, the suns first paliid smile,
And hear the meadows breathe again
And see the far woods turn green.
Drunk with the glory of wind and
rain
And the suns warm smile between,
For my heart is warm to the core,
And I'm glad, oh, glad. that the night

And the dim trees beat the dark
And the swelling bitches moan,
