AN ODE ON PIE.

When foes assail and woes prevail.
we gaze around with scornful eyes
We sieze fork with steady hand and
calmly eat piece OF PIE
Oh, pie!
Oh, faithful apple pie! Oh, ever
ready steadfast friend! In summer.
winter, spring Or fall, we can on the
depend!
Oh, plodding, humble apple pie! No
frills are thine-no manners high.
Thou are the John Smith of them all.
Oh, unassuming apple pie!
And luscious peach, with mellow
juice to trickle down my chin. And
t fruit so oozy and so sweet, it gives
delight to tuck in!
oh, peach!
We hasten to the shelf with glowing
face and eager strides. With ecstasy
t. find piece with fruit eXuding from
the sides.
Oh, pie. Mans noblest, truest friend.
When pilgrims cross the ocean blue,
how tenderly you fill their thoughts!
How soon they pine away for you!
Afar off in the Philippines, our
wounded soldiers often cry in happy
sweet delirium:
ooh, say! Just see that deep dish
pie!"
All, cocoanut!
Your fragrant taste eludes my bat
fed palate STILL Oh, are you wrath
or are you real? And how you make
my senses thrill | cut off piece with
my fork. l open my mouth and close
my eyes. The pie goes in. 4 raptu-
rous grin. And II dwell in Paradise.
And huckleberry, brimming full, to
cheer the heart and stain the tongue
I'd daily with you any day. Daily oft
and daily long.
They say that in that torrid place
where devils laugh and lost souls SIGH,
a plaintive moan is heard for coot
refreshing piece of pie.
Oh, pie. Oh, comforter.
They say (and to its truth testifYN
thai China could be civilized by tn
noble help Of home made pie.
And pumpkin pie! All, there's a pie
of merit great and much renown.
" hat JOY to sift the sugar over that
eelstial brown.
And suIp it down. And then feel
that you own the town!
And lemon.
When thou art meringue, full crown
Ell as with a coronet, thou art sight
for kings and men. Thou art a sight
can't forget
And then there's mince-a mystery.
A riddle, yet a sustenance! You se'
il hot. You get it cold But either
way you take a chance.
And here's "Goodby,' to thee, my
lives, In parting let me say that I
care not who makes nations laws
as long as can eat its pie.--New
York Sun.

RUSH THIS YEAR IN SENDING
PRESENTS TO EUROPE is
GREATEST EVER.
Most Of the Large Registered Pack
ages Have Gone to England
and Germany.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The last of
the transatlantic mail that will reach
distribution goes on the steamships
leaving port today and tomorrow.
Employees of the postoffice foreign de-
partment express the opinion that the
rush this year has been no less than
1000 bags of mail. These contained
many thousands of registered pack
ages in addition to the regular mail.
The chief center of activity during
The last 10 days has been the for
eign postoffice, at West and Morton
streets. Here the mail is sorted ac-
cording to destination and thence TAX
en- to the steamships in wagons fur
nished by the steamship companies.
To get all of the mail aboard one of
the big liners before it sails is a task
accompanied by much difficulty. Dur
ing the past week it has been found
necessary to work day and night get
ting the mail on board and in more
than one instance the last bag has
been carried up the plank just before
the signal for departure has been
given.
The fact that the parcel post sys-
tenn has been established between the
United States and several of the Eu-
ropean countries during the last year
or two has helped greatly to increase
the volume of foreign mail at Christ
mas time.
The most of the Christmas presents
sent aboard from this country are
destined for England and Germany
Other countries, however, including
Ireland, France and the Scandinavian
and parcels from America at this time
each year. A large proportion of the
letters sent abroad contain money or
ders from persons in this country to
relatives in their old homes. This is
especially true of the mail matter sent
to Italy and to Norway, and Sweden.
In the case Of Germany, England and
