PARIS. March 2s.-Russia's gold re-
serve is nearly exhausted, according
70 the economists Of the Russian
socialist and democratic groups in
Paris. On this subject they make the
following statement:
Nobody at present believes tina. the
soviets have any products to export
or would be capable of exporting
them. The soviet commissars know
this as well as do the British. II is
also agreed on all sides that the only
thing eNportable in Russia is gold
Russian money is 30 deprecated that
imports can be paid for only with
gold. But Russia's gold reserve IS
now insi gnifcant-i0 600. 900 rubles
t2n0. 0no. .000D at the most
According to the treaty OF Riga. the
sovlets must pay 10000, 900 rubles
Nl5.000.00o) of this sum TO Poland
About 20.00o.0o0 rubles $4,000. .Oonl
have been abandoned to the border
states with which treaties have also
been concluded.
Millions for soviet Propaganda.
Some 1o.ooo.ooo rubles Cs5.ooo. .onol
have been sent to Sweden by the
soviet government and nearly - 200
600 rubles l2.3oo.00o) to Reval; and
this same gold serves for bolsheylst
propaganda abroad II is therefore
evident that the gold reserve at pres
ent is not more than 300 oo0. 900 or 3aa
100000 rubles El5o.0o0. 900 or sl75.-
n00.oo0). But NJ. Litvinov has de-
clared that Russia requires within six
months 150.000.o00 gold rubles Cs375.
o.0oo) worth OF foreign goods 1t is
therefore. evident that the gold which
remains will soon be spent
The Anglo-bolshevist treaty IS
simply one more proof that any inter
national agreement, however laudabIe
in itself. is injurious to Russia so
long as the soviets remain in power
bringing about the nations ruin and
humiliation"

DEADLY WEAPON OF sAvAGEs
African Tribes Use Poisoned Arrows
Which lnflict Death That Is
instantaneous.

The most effective weapon Of the
Nasal and Andorobo is the arrow
which they poison with the Accan-
thera schimperi, a small tree, accord
ing to National Geographic society
bulletin. They boil the leaves and
branches until the mixture becomes
thick and pitch-like in appearance, and
place 1t on sheets of bark which they
hide high on the branches Of trees
away from children until it Is needed.
When an animal is shot with an arrow
dipped in the poison it dies almost i'm
mediately. The natives cut out the
flesh around the wound as soon as pos
sible and throw it away. The remain
der Is eaten and the blood is drunk.
This love of blood as an article of food
Is common among many African tribes,
several Of them going so far as to
bleed their cattle and drink the blood
hot or mix it with their porridge.

sMITRERs AND THE LINERS
Synonymous Symposium That Re.
suited in a Change in the Custom
Of Many Years.

Smithers sat slyly slipping slivers of
liver into his mouth. Smithers always
had livers for dinner. And he demands
his livers in small slivers.
Suddenly frown came over his face.
"Garcon!" he demanded.
Smithers was proud of his French
accent
The waiter slipped softly to his side.
These livers are not cut into small
enough slivers."
The waiter became confused. He was
all apologies; in fact, he was one large
apology.
'Monsieur Smithers wants his slivers
in smaller livers."
mo! No! want my livers in small
er smithers."
'You mean your slippers in slivered
livers?"
"No! Smithers livered in slithered
slippers"
"Oh! Slivers of slithers smithered in
slippered livers?"
smaller smithers."
ooh, yes, smithered slippers of Slip
pered slithered livers."
Smithers changed custom Of years.
''Bring me kidney" he croaked.-

tiful of Thanksgiving poems is eve
Thank Thee" by Emerson. 1t runs:


tiful of Thanksgiving poems is "We
Thank Thee" by Emerson. 1t runs:
For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass, so fresh, SO sweet;
For song of birds and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father In heaven, we thank Thee.
For blue of stream and blue of sky;
For pleasant shade of branches high;
For fragrant air and cooling breeze;
For beauty OF the blooming trees,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.
AS in most of her poems, devout
religious spirit peryades Phoebe Carys
poem on Thanksgiving. 1t is an ap-
peal to the grown-ups on this day to
make trip back to their childhood,
and is marked by the felicitous SIM
plicity of the writer:
o men, grown sick with toll and care,
Leave for a while the crowded mart.
o women. sinking with despair,
Weary OF limb and faint of heart,
Forget your years today and come
AS children back to childhood's home
Following again the winding rills,
Go to the places where you went
When. climbing up the summer hills
In their green laps you sat content
And softly leaned your head to rest
On Natures calm and peaceful breast.
Then the old lady Of the poem goes
on to tell that she has just come from
Sarah's, who lives in sort of q pa
lace in the city, and has creams and
salads, made by a French cook, that
cost fortune" However, things
didn't quite suit her at her niece's,
and an invitation to an old-fashioned
Thanksgiving dinner suits her well.
How I run on. Well, thank you, neigh
Dor; see you want to CO.
I'm comm to Thanksgivin'; your good
old ways know;
An my mouth waters; dear old friend,
there's tears in these dim eyes,
For I shall taste the flavor Of mothers
pumpkin pies.
Another poetess, Mrs. Margaret
Sangster, wrote this verse on the
"rhanksgivin' Pumpkin Pies":
So you bid me to Thanksgiyin. Thank
you. neighbor; 1t is kind
To keep a plain old body like myself so
much in mind.
Here I've been sittin' all alone, and a
mist before my eyes.
A-thinkin', like smpleton, on mothers
| pumpkin pies.
A toast by Ida e. S. Noyes is very
appropriate, since 1T has Thanksgiving
for subject.
For every day of life we're living.
| Thanksgiving!
| For friends assembled round the board,
Thanks we're giving
For every blessing, great and small,
| Thanks give we all!
While 1t was not written especially
in reference to our national feast of
Thanksgiving Keats lode to Autumn
Is generally considered poem of the
season. The first stanza runs:
Season of mists and yellow fruitfulness
Close bosom friend of the maturing sun
| Conspirlng with him how to load an6
bless
With fruit the vines that round the
thatch-eaves run.
| To bend with apples the moss'd cottage
trees,
And fill all fruit with rpeness to the core
To swell the gourd, and plump the haze
shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more
And still more, later flowers for the bees
Until they think warm days will neve
cease,
For summer has oerbrimmed thei
clammy cells,

humor. The son John has gone to the
city to get an education and for the
time being he is caught by the glamour
Of city life. But the concluding stanza
in which he tells Of his return on
Thanksgiving day shows that the lus-'
ter of the city offered him but fleet
ing inducement.
And SO the summer faded out, and the
autumn wore away,
And a keener winter never fetched around
Thanksgiv1n' day!
And as turned and looked around, some
one riz up and bent
And put his arms round Mothers neck,
and laughed in low content

Set down with you. and talk with you.
and make you understand
How dearer yit than all the world is this
old home that we
Will spend Thanksgivin' in fer lifo-jest
Mother, you and me!'
John Greenleaf Whittier wrote Of
the pumpkin and in the poem Of that
title he says, IN part.
All. on Thanksgiving day. when from
East and from West,
From North and from South come the
pilgrim and guest,
When the gray-haired New Highlander
sees round his board
The old broken links Of affection restored;
When the care-wearied man seeks his
mother once more,
And the worn matron smiles where the
girl smiled before;
What moistens the lips and what bright
ems the eye?
What calls back the past, like the rich
pumpkin pie?
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1921-11-24

Then thanks for the present, none
sweeter nor better
Fer smoked from an oven or circled q
platter.
Fairer hands mover wrought at pastry
more fine,
Brighter eyes never watched DER its bak-
ing than thine;
And the prayer which my mouth is too
full to express
Swells my heart that thy shadow may
never grow less;
That the days Of thy lot may be strength
ened below,
And the fame of thy worth, like the
pumpkin vine. grow
And thy life be as sweet and it's last sun
set sky
Golden-tinte and fair as thy own pump
kin pie.
The poem, For an Autumn Festi-
val" by the same author, is Of more
serious and devout nature, as several
Of the stanzas will testify.
Once more the liberal year laughs out
Der richer stores than gems of gold;
Once moro with harvest song and shout
Is Natures bloodless triumph told.
Who murmurs at his lot today?
Who scorns his native fruit and bloom?
Or signs for dainties far away,
Beside the bounteous board of homo?
And let these affairs. wreathed with
flowers
And pilod with fruits awake again

past have embodied their gratitude
for the blessings of the year in verse;
At times the burden of their song has
incorporated the time-honored custom
by which one day Of the year is set
apart for the giving Of thanks.
Perhaps Thanksgiving recalls to
them mothers ingenuity and skill in
making pumpkin pies and so in
quantity humorous way the poet pays
tribute to the pumpkin and the prod
uct thereof.
Again the spirit of these November
poems embodies Thanksgiving joy
and freedom from sorrow; for health
and happiness; for things spiritual and
physical.
At any rate, ever since Thanksgiv-
Ing has been proclaimed national
holiday the poet has found inspiration
for his art and by means Of his verses
has awakened a sympathetic chord in
the breasts Of many men and women.
Although nearly all of the poems Of
James Whitcomb Riley contain an es-
sence of this spirit of gratitude with
the existing order Of things, some of
these are specifically devoted to the
day itself. Among these the poem
entitled Thanksgiving" is one of the
best.
Let US be thankful-not only because
Since last our universal thanks were

And fortunes newer smiles surpass the
old
But thankful for all things that come as
aims
From out the open hand of Providence,
The winter clouds and storms-the sum-
mer Gains
The sleepless dread-the browse Of in
dolence.
Let US be thankful-thankful for the
prayers
Whose gracious answers were long,
long delayed,
That they might fall upon us unawares,
And bless US. as in greater need we
prayed
Let us be thankful for the loyal hand
own.
When love. and only love. could under
The need of touches we had never
known.
Let us be thankful for the longing eyes
That gave their secret to us as they
wept,
Yet in return found. with sweet sur
prise,
Loves touch upon their lids, and smil-
ing. slept.
And let US, too, be thankful that the
or sorrow have not all been drained
away,
That through them STILL for all the COM
ing years,
We may look on the dead face Of today
Will Carleton, the New England
poet, strikes the universal note OF
thanks in his hymn, part of which
follows:
We thank Thee. Father, for all that 1,
