And sailing the sky,
But the man from the Platte.
Said fat Bill to Platte Bill,
Now isn't this great?"
Said Bryan, "You bet
Is my rudder on straight?'
And the wind coming up
With a slight show of bluster.
They both skidded off
Through the air belly-buster.
And while they were flying
About a mile high,
The Roosevelt entry
Emitted a cry;
And Bryan, supposing
He'd dropped from the race,
Slowed up with a Mortified
Look In his face.
But Taft was just floating
"My motors gone out.
Now hand me a match
When you next come about
But Bryan just laughed,
And he said, "My dear speeder,
Remember that
Am the great matchless leader"
October is from the latin, octo,
meaning eight. 1t was the eighth
month of the old Roman calendar.
This brought oysters in at the end of
August, when they had to be candled
like eggs and the oyster Trust always
cornered the supply in cold storage.
But Rome, like every other nation,
had reformer not too often for rea-
sonable profits in business, and when
Numa Pompilius came into power in
713 B. C. he made October the tenth
month and busted the oyster Trust.
He was idolized by grateful people
and was only relinquished to private
life in his later days that he might
crafty his desire to hunt big game
in Africa.
The presidential race will reach
Three-quarters of a mile,
And both the Bills will hit it up
In good old fashioned style.
The Platte will shake his big brogans
And put up dust and dirt,
The giant Taft will grunt and sweat
And rip his undershirt,
The plaudits of the multitude
will rise in mighty peals,
And the watchful Teddy Bear will nip
At William Howard's heels.
The pink mudguards of Sunny Jim
will catch the frost descending, and
turn a fine autumnal red, with the
burning sumac blending; the frost
will thin out Mr.. Kern's elaborate
chin thicket, and each of these hair
tails will go some on his ticket.
The frost will paint the sasafrass
a deep glowing red, and the farm han
will resume his howl for blankets on
his bed. The plant exuded phosphor-
us will gossamer the air, the stiff
rheumatic will put on his wind-proof
underwear, the southwark moving
ducks will quack upon the reeded
lakes, and the man will line himself
inside with buttered flannel cakes.
The women will parade beneath the
big sky-scraper hats, and the guy line
strung to steady them will anchor in
their rats; and every time the wind
blows brisk, with many screams and
saueals, they'll all turn turtle and fan
the azure with their heels.
The camper will go unto the woods
To live the life of Crusoe.
And the quail will balance on rail
And whistle like Caruso.
The poor hay fever patient will re-
turn from his retreat, and every time
his nose goes off and honks upon the
street. we'll scramble for the near
est curb as fast as we can dart, be-
lieving that his lusty sneeze is some
skidoodle cart.
The candidate will press his suit
and tell his jokes while he is hand
ing out cigars they name for famous
folks; and Notwithstanding all the
harm this sort of smoke has done us,
we'll all waltz up again and try one
of his deadly Mrs. Guinness.
After the 26 October will be under
the influence of the zodiacal sign,
Scorpio the crustacean. Persons born
under Scorpio are Holsters. and most
" actors and baseball players. They
have remarkable foresight. Among
other things, they can tell when the
hired girl is going to quit, and always
give her notice first.
The armoured football player will
cavort in padded pants and butt TO
beat billy goat while frenzied thous-
ands dance. He'll cut the foe with
glass hid Ia his Paderewski mop. and
when they pile on sacks he'll do a
war dance on the top. The college
men will all get up and yell like
