THE PINNACLE
BY GERTRUDE WE'LL.

ONG years ago, when mother earth young
An iridescent ball of flame she,
. That carerree round her orbit plunged and swung
And laughed and sung. rejoicing to be Free
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 and bold
There followed fish and bird. iive-wonderfu
But cooling mother earth growing old.

But eer her waning power had fully passed
She strove the ofter peaks OF life to span,
Then reached the heights celestial at last
And on her breast lay omnipotent man.

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS

When buying a goose, see that the
skin b white. the breast fun plump.
and nsshy. and the apron covered
with white fat Tho bill and feet of n
young goose are of a yellow color;
there are but few hairs about the
legs at the termination OF the thigh.
As they become old the bill and feet
acquire a reddish tint, and the body
aud feet become hairy. A full grown
goose should be hung at the least
three or four days after 1t is killed,
that II may become tender.

In addition 10 this preoaution, Il is
well to make large bag Of un-
bleached calico for holding the clothes
and keeping them from contact with

To cook foreign eggs and make

GOLD WORSHIPPERS

TT HEY slave and grind until they find
The gold they worship so.
Their honest youth, their love for truth

And cast themselves so low.
God did not dream that men could scheme
To grasp the poors last crust.
That nameless things grow to money kings

Cropping and groveling day by day,
Trampling on countless graves,
These fat toads strain new 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-fed shoes
And still they reign. and still they gain

A new method of combating the
empty church problem has been dis
covered at Joliet. Ill A three weeks
campaign was organized by all the To-
cal ministers of religion. Then on
Sunday men were sent around in mo
tor cars to stop at every house and
remind its occupants that it was go
to-church day The result was that
churches ordinarily half empty were
overcrowded, and the Roman Catholic
churches held two extra masses. Local
clergymen estimate that there will be
a permanent increase of at least 20 per
cent and the experiment will probably
be repeated elsewhere.
The most valuable stamp in exist
ence is said to be the "postoffice" Maui
ritius, which is worth about $500 Just
after the postal authorities had received
the issue the postoffice was destroyed
in a hurricane. But the Governor had
given ball, and as an act OF courtesy
he sent invitations to friends in Eng
land. The only specimens of the stamp
known to exist are those which We're af-
fixed to the envelopes OF these invita-
tions.

Judge Prouty, found that about
