i'll the Senate. Srmc of the Senators
thought November should continue
the ninth month Ia the year. Turkeys
they pointed out, were large enough
to eat, and there was enough to be
thankful for by tina: time in the year
to go right ahead with the fireworks
and the escalloped oysters. Cicero
had been very silent all this time.
When the Senators vino wanted 10 OBJ
serve Thanksgiving three months be-
fore Christmas had said all they had
to say, he arose and disposed of them
forever by simply saying: But cram
berries won t be ripe!"
The hills are painted red and gold
The frost Is boar and white
The moon is sailing white and cold
Across the skies OF night:
The Fish and Hartman dispute
will become mortal strife:
Instead OF proxy ballots
They'll demand each Others life
So each will take of Strychine
good and deadly lump,
And then they'll shake the dice to see
Which gets the stomach pump.
The President has gone for game
and killed lady bear, the days are
growing short and soft, and hazy is
the air; the country editors who
once ha6 money in their tills, are
selling all their diamonds now to pay
their paper bills.
Sagittarius the Archer is the 70
diacal sign for November. His name
is from the Latin word sagitta, mean
ing arrow, and is typical of the sud
den cold shooting into the earth and
causing the turnips to run for the
cellar like whitehead. From the first
to the twenty second of the month the
sun will be in the constellation OF
Scorpio, which is Mr.. Bryan unlucky
constellation, and will make it diff
cult TO tell whether he is coming OF
going From tie 22d to the Bot b, the
sun will be in the constellation OF
Sagittarius, in which Mr.. Taft and
! the White hose are at aphelion, and
he viii look as if he would finish
about fifth.
On the 18th the sun will rise with
the transit Of Mercury on its disk. For
3 hours and 30 minutes the planet will
describe a short chord on the north
ern limb of the sun, causing money
to run to its hole in Wall street, and
Standard Oil to tell everything.
Mercury, which will be an evening
star during the first two weeks of the
month, will tire of lovers and buggy
riders on the 18th, and will be morn
ing star for the rest Of the month. 1t
will cost enough light on key-holes
for sports to find them without using
d funnel, and will look with contempt
into the chambers of mollycoddle and
milksops.
The girl who sued summer man
Where cool sea breezeS course,
win keep on sueing-in the courts
And capture her divorce:
The wste;ed railroads will contrive
To have few more wrecks,
And the press will print more list of names
With broken backs and necks.
The loving maid will feed her beau
on good dyspepsia fudge, the farmer
with the smokehouse will touch off
his hick'ay smudge, the proclamation
will come out, and the hired man will
put the turkeys head upon the block
and amputate his foot.
The flower for this month will be
the chrysanthemum, and the birth
stone will be the topaz.
A red or pink chrysanthemum is
the symbol of love; a white one sig
mites truth, and yellow one, despair.
When you wear yellow one, it
means that the gas bill has come in.
Ii you were born in November. you
will be thrifty, ambitious. strong and
earnest. If born in the latter half of
the month, you will be brave, kind,
hone t, just, generous, quick of tenn
per, and have a keen sense of humor.
But you can never be President. This
is great disappointment, but you
can't have everything.
The lucky day of the month will be.
the fifth, eleventeenth, thirteenth,
twenty second and twenty-fifth. Any
of these is a good day upon which to
begin trial marriage. The unlucky
days will be the sixth, fifteenth. TWEEN
tieth, twenty-ninth and thirtieth.
Cover the chimney up on all these
days, or the stork may bring you a.
pair of twins. The day to buy mining
stock will be the thirty-first.
This will be very busy month.
The trust will try and arrange it so
nobody can live, the moon will be full
on the 18th, and the wolf will take up
its winter quarters on the frontporch.
Hurrah. Wen all sit down to feast
Within three weeks or so.
The rich will have their turkey then
However high they GO
But most Of Us will sit around
And eat piece OF crow.
And then December will arrive. with
