will move up couple of places in the
race. Mr.. Fairbanks will continue
to pass the grandstand every seven
seconds sucking buttermilk with a
nipple, out of his pneumatic shirt
front. The war with Japan will
sleep fretfully, and Uncle Sam will
sit by the cradle grooming soft lula
bves and giving paregoric with a fun
mel.
The coming county fair is billed,
The big prize hog is corned and swilled
The pumpkin that will lift the price
Is watched with proud and hopeful eyes.
And the family mare to win the pot
Is training for the county trot.
The autumnal equinox will come in
on time on the Oath, and Mr.. Harri-

to rise in floating stocks for develop
ment of our great natural resources.
The Standard Oil Company will
place 4 per cent mortgage upon the
earth and will pay the $29, 400, 900

of the Republic, which will restore
that feeling of security.
The summer girl-romantic thing!
will homeward come upon the wing
and show her neighbors for a week
where some man bit her arms land
legs?) resemble those on turkey eggs
and the neighborhood will bet ten
per the men were only joshing her.
The lucky wives of millonaires
Will put up jam and pickle pears.
But the most of us denied these boons
Will pass the winter full of prunes
Some red-hot sealing wax, alack,
will fly down Nancy's tender back,
exploring where the flesh is bare, and
three shr,ll screams will pierce the
air. The men, a-wGsning at the
pump, will hasten thither on the
jump, but Nancy mid the fruit O 'er-
turned, will not divulge where she is
burned.
President Roosevelt, fresh from
Oyster Bay, will issue on the Goth a
proclamation officially opening the
oyster season. Turnips and football
players will run to tops. White duck
trousers will begin to migrate. A
comet will make one night stands in
the northeast sky. The weather and
politicians will becomes very agreea-
BILE. Nature, which has been in the
nude for the ourdour summer paint
ing season, will put on thin goss-
amer, and the Corn Huskers Union
will promulgate a new wage scale by
which they will get the corn and the
farmers the husks.
To stain their hands with walnut juice
The cider swoolen apples drip
The pig squeals for morning nip,
And the billy goat. by Autumn cheered
Let's cool winds frolic with his beard
Summer excursion tourists will
come home in chair car with their
skull grass full of carbon mites, the
aisle full of braided legs, and the saw
tooth chair back enclosing the name
of the railroads on their spines. The
Big Dipper will appear in the heav-
ems upside down, which will encour-
age Prohibition to resume his war
paint and extend the booze drouth.
John Barleycorn will return to his
gun with Booker Washington tint
under both eyes and his pants torn,
and the Kentucky Colonel will toss in
his mint bed while Carrie Nation
rides a night mare Though the win
dows OF his boudoir.
The cotton fields with boil and stem
are reckoning to dusty men.
The Greeks began theiryear in Sep
TENDER. Our Labor Day was their
New Years Day. They did this be-
cause their families spent the sum-
mer at the seashore at considerable
expense, while the men played poker
at home at even more expense.
This left the Greeks badly in the hole
and the only way they could get out
was to have the new year begin on
September LIST aud swear off drinking
and smoking at that time. This en-
abled them to save in September
what We save in January and was a
much better plan than ours.
Cheer ep, cheer up, the summers
DER, the piping quail is up at 4, Sep
TENDER sweet is on the job, and the
green corn ripens on the cob.
October crisp will soon be here
With softly-falling leaf and sere
With frost morn and hunters moon
And pumpkin-pie not yet but soon.
