THE PINNACLE
BY GERTRUDE WE'LL.

ONG years ago, when mother earth young,
An iridescent ball Of flame she,
- That caretree round her orbit plunged and swung
And laughed and sung, rejoicing to be fres.
The cons pass. BY pangs Of travail spent,
Wrought OF her fiery love and youthful Joy,
Her dumb blind children, born without lament,
Were precious gold to her of pure alloy.
Oh rocks and seas and sands, mute, pitiful,
Thy mother grew with rapid strides ind bold,
There followed fish and bird, live-wonderful
But cooling mother earth growing old
But eer her waning power had fully passed
She srove the loftier peaks Of life to span,
Then reached the heights celestial at last,
And on her breast lay omnpotent man

GOLD WORSHIPPERS
BY WILLIAM r. KIRK.

TT HEY slave and grind until they find
The gold they worship so.
Their honest youth. their love for truth
Are of the long ago.
God did not dream that men would scheme
And cast themselves so low.
God did not dream that men could scheme
To grasp the poor's last crust,
That nameless things grow to money kings
By catering to lust.
II He had thought such stain and blot
Mans form would still be dust
Cropping and groveling day by day,
Trampling on countless graves,
These fat toads strain wealth to gain,
Driving their little slaves
No brute held sway cruel they
When tusked men dwelt in caves.
But millions bow to these same kings
In shameful. servile crews,
And millions praise their pompous way
And lick their gout-flled shoes.
And still they reign, and still they gain
What the poor and wretched lose.
