WHEN NIGHT ENFoLDs EARTH
Shadow That Haunt the Solltudo %
the WiIds Bring Respect .
Heart Of Man.

The light of day fades into twi-
light. The birds, long active, trill
their goodnight songs. The frogs.
awakening from their daytime
ouiescence, croak their welcome to
approaching night. The crickets
and the katydids begin their noisy
action.
The long shadows of twilight
lengthen still more. A blackfsh veil
enfolds the earth, while fredies
pierce its unfathomable screen. And
owls begin their hooting monotone.
Night with its nature noises lives
and watches-a complement to the
day.
Man, wandering alone in dark
some. wilds, hesitates, pauses and
prepares a resting place among the
trees. He builds fire to drive away
the darkness which surrounds him
and to warm him from the coolish
damp Of night-tide Respect for the
mysteries of nature and wholesome
fear for their untoward manifesto
tons stand watch in the fringe Of
his consciousness, even though he
sleeps.
For night in the wilds is a. exact
ing as it is bracing, as awful as it 10
beautiful. Man, having forgotten
from aback the ages, must learn
again to find his way.-Milwankee
