GanderbOne's Oct. Forecast

familiar stranis, 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
Every time 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, when he steps
ashore the island will be 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 Nuts
uhito eat rice cakes together and
open few bottles of saki to the con-
tinued amity of nations.
In our own country, President
Roosevelt will proceed early in the
month upon his annual fresh water
cruise. He will go down the Mis-
sissippi from Keokuk to memphis,
while the cheering multitudes con-
gregate on the banks and count his
teeth. Uncle Joe Cannon will buy an.
other thousand feet of tightening rod
buckwheat cakes will renew their
tug-of-war with EPSON salts in the
innards of man, and cost of living
will take a birds eye view of the
economic propositions.
The autumn nights inspiriting
shall grow a little longer, and the
breath of fall cider sweet shall grow
a little stronger. The husbandman
shall sell his hogs and think to pros
per on it, but the goodhousewife will
take the dough and buy winter
bonnet.
County fairs will be in full blast.
The heavy fragrance of roasted pea
nuts 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 neck with a barrel stave. The
man in red underwear will rise in a
balloon hanging by his toenails, and
the family that Roosevelt is enthus-
iastic about will weave through the
crowd tied together on long clothes
line.
The husky husker in the corn
Will trill his little ballad.
The racoon in the forest deep
VIII eat persimmon salad,
The robin redbreast, growing
chilled,
VIII 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 philosophic enjoyment of
his last few days.
The football rooter, full of root,
will go off on his Autumn toot; the
player with the college hair, the
while the horns and trumpets blare,
will but around until he's 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 color come, will
sing and scream and swallow gum.
The giant fullback, fierce and
stout, will pick the little fellow out,
kick in his Stats and change his face,
place, and when the foe shall cease
to breath, will proudly claim the vic
tors wreath.
The farmer with the mortgage
Who Is pone to giving notes
Will figure up hte proceeds
From his wheat and corn and oats,
And wonder if his cash in hand
Will pull him out 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 the country with his burr
proof gun and his hammerless COR
duroys. He will flush bird and al
most hit cow, and then buy his
game from native whose sports a
bored out army musket. The Anal
gamated Game Self-Preservation
Society will soon require all hunters
to carry large license tag so that
all game may know when it is being
