when the coal man gets in action with
his pesky little bill; when the frost
and pumpkin sings the old familiar
strains, and the football gladiators
scramble one another's brains.
Doubly welcome, hallowed season,
When the wild goose travels space,
When the hunter in the wildwood
Shoots the rabbit in the face.
When the last years hat made over
Shows up in the new fall stock,
And the bug-fed turkey shudders
Everytime he sees the block.
Secretary Taft will be the leading
presidential candidate for the month.
He will reach Japan on his trip around
the world, and when he steps ashore,
the island will tip up. The Mikado
will have him lifted to the Imperial
Roof Garden with block and tackle,
and the populace will hold the roof up
while Bill and Mutsunito eat rice cakes
together and open few bottles of sakl
to the continued amity OF nations.
In our own country, President Roose-
welt will proceed early in the month
upon his annual fresh water cruise.
He will go down the Mississippi from
Keokuk to Memphis, while cheering
multitudes congregate on the banks
and count his teeth. Uncle Joe Cannon
will buy another thousand feet OF
| lightning rod, buckwheat cakes will
renew their tug of war with EPSON
salts in the innards of man, and the
cost of living will take a birds eye
view of the economic proposition.
The autumn night inspiriting shall
grow little longer, and the breath OF
fall on cidar sweet shall grow little
stronger. The husbandman shall sell
his hogs and think to prosper on it, but
| the good housewife will take the dough
and buy winter bonnet.
County fairs will be in full blast The
heavy fragrance of roasted peanuts will
decoy the cautious nickle from the
pants pocket of the loving swain. The
toy balloon will drag the small boy
around the grounds The man with
the long awning on his cap will sit on
the tail of the winged footed trotter
and slap her around the track with a
barrel stave. The man in red under
wear will rise in a balloon hanging by
his toe nails, and the family that
Roosevelt is enthusiastic about will
weave through the crowd tied together
on long clothes line.
| The husky husker in the corn
Will trill his little ballad,
The raccoon in the forest deep
Will eat persimmon salad,
The robin redbreast, growing chilled,
Will slowly southwark flutter,
And the angels in the skies will catch
The scent of apple butter.
The moon will be full on the 21st.
Campers will go off to the woods to
play poker all night and sleep all day.
Hog killing time will fill the hog with
concern for his near future, and he
will hustle around after acorns in phil
osophic enjoyment of his last few days.
The football rooter, full of root, will
go off on his Autumn toot; the player
horns and trumpets blare, will butt
around till he is thrown and someone
breaks his collar bone The lusty
sound of rah rah rahs will urge the
fell and bloody cause; the girls in mass
and colors come, will sing and scream
and swallow gum. The giant full
back, fierce and stout, will pick lit
tie fellow out, kick in his Stats and
change his face, and maui him up and
down the place. and when the foe shall
cease to breathe, will proudly claim
the victor's wreathe.
The farmer with the mortgage
Who is prone to giving notes
Will figure up the proceeds
From his wheat and corn and oats.
And wonder if his cash in hand
Will mil him ont the hole
Or whether he will have to give
A mortgage on his soul. -
The hunting season will keep the
rabbit ON the wing and the quail on
the jump. The crack shot from town
will range into the country with his
burr proof gun and his hammerless
corduroys. He will flush a bird and
almost hit COW, and then buy hi:
game from native who sports bored
out army musket.
The Amalgamated Game Self Pres
ervation Society will soon require al
hunters to carry a large license tag 81
that all game may know when it is be
ing legally shot at.
The baseball fan will lose his Job
} the high ball fiend is broke, the moth
J ball crank is now abroad spread il
) odors Trick as smoke. The ice cream
soda has fixed out, the ice man slack
his pace, the small boys save thei
nickles now to buy a comic face. Fo
Hallowe' en- will soon be here will
pumpkin spooks and pranks,' and if tn
hoodlums pass us up we surely ma,
give thanks. Be glad, be glad, tn
worst is last, The next few weeks lool
good,
The tramp has quit the road because
: It's time for saving wood.
: November crisp is on the way
? With cold Thanksgiving air,
D And the President will set the day
In time for turkey prayers.
