THE MIRACLE
Consider the pumpkin.

Consider the pumpkin.
1t hideth itself amidst the growing
corn.
1t is the lowliest Of all things that
growcth in Che fields.
The proud farmer spurneth it and
the small boy laugheth it to scorn.
The wise men of the agricultural
college lecturcth not upon it. Never
hath it caused a car shortage.
The bugs devoureth it not and the
beetles ard the worms and The moths
and tac weevils and all the mighty
host that prayeth upon the naughty
corn and the wheat and the spuds,
give it the go-by.
Behold it is the goat of the Vegeta-
bic Kingdom. So
Yet there cometh day when the
wife of the husbandman cutteth the
pumpkin into golden squares and boil
eth it in the syrup of the sugar-cane
and added thereunto sweet spices, yea
even cinnamon and cloves and ginger.
And 10! A miracle is wrought.
She bringeth forth from the oven
the pumpkin pie, and the odor thereof
is sweeter than the breezes from
Clutch.
And the husbandman and the small
boy and the hired man falleth down in
alteration and watereth at the mouth,
For it is the morsel fit for kings
and princes.
You know it.
