For Novemb err.


Some folks think its Bryan,
And others think its Taft.
A speaker on a Pullman,
A little pantomine.
A hasty diagnosis of
The peris of our time;
A farewell and promise.
A benediction aft
Some folks think it's Bryan.
And others think it's TAFT.
A man with twenty dollars,
Another man with ten,
A swift exchange of challenges.
And two excited men;
A showdown and a wager,
A bank note and n draft
Some folks think it's Bryan
And others think it's Taft.
A homestretch and a tumult.
A spyglass and a shout.
A fevenish excitement while
They try to make them out;
A flying dust cloud leading.
A second cloud abaft-
Some folks think it's Bryan.
In the old Roman calender Novem-
Der was the ninth month. Blessings
fell early, and the empire gave thank
just before the first frost; but about
700 b. c. the trusts left the people
so little to be thankful for after
nine months that 1t was decided to
wait while and see il anything
would come of the Roman elections.
Nrma accordingly made November
the eleventh month and had Thanks
giving fall with the first SHOWS. not
withstanding the month gets its nam
from the Latin novem (nine.)
The frisky colt will sniff the air
and hear the whistling quail. and the
festive calf will Indicate. the zenith
with his tail. The frost will paint
the forest with deep and redder
dye, the hired man will shuck the
corn, the pumpkin vine will pie. the
politicians will hit up their office
holding feud, and the modest maple
tree will blush and come out in the
nude.
The election will be held on the
Sd, and the trusts will hold an all
night prayer meeting on the I'd. Mr..
Bryan will cast his vote for Mr.. Taft
at Lincoln. Mr.. Taft will return
the courtesy at Cincinnati and Mr.
Rockefeller will receive the news at
Cleveland. The quadrennial ass who
wheels another quadrennial ass
through town on a wheelbarrow will
start from the Postoffice at 10 o.
clock on the morning of the 1t &,
followed by 80 boys and the Fool
killer. The complete returns will be
In by the 18th.
The annual showdown between
city and country life will be complete
by the goth. when the farmer will
have his cellar stocked with pota-
toes, turnips. kraut. honey, nuts,
hams. sidemeat, souse. popcorn. pick
les, pigs feet, applebutter, sweet
potatoes, lard and sorgum, and the
city man will enter the winter with
his cellar stocked with ten tons of
coal and two gas meters.
The man who made election bets,
Relying on his knowledge,
viii write sad note to his son.
Withdrawing him from college.
The football season will wind up,
The class room claim its braves,
And the faculty will order flowers
And decorate the graves.
A double fleece lined coat of hair
will come in style for dogs. and the
farmer will put on the pot and kill
his fattened hogs. The air will TEEN
with shots and squeals and sundry
flavors sweet, the good housewife
will render lard and scrape and
pickle feet, the spared old hens will
get note of terror in their cack-
lings, and the children will refresh
their tums with good old-fashioned
cracklings.
Mr.. Roosevelt's annual proclama-
ton advancing the price of turkey
10 cents pound will be issued a
bout the middle OF the month. He
will urge us to give thanks that 3d.
100000 cubic feet of earth were ex-
cavated at Panama in October.
The sadfaced gobbler will address
His young and fearful flock.
And clip for memory's sweet sake
A small and tearstained lock,
And then. with many signs. will lay
His head upon the block.
Until the 25th November will be
under the zodiacal sign of Scorpio.
People born in Scorpio are cross at
supper, and 1t is better, If possible,
to be born after the 25th, when the
month is under the sign of Sagitar-
ius the Archer. Sagitarius people
are only cross at breakfast, when ev-
erybody is.
The flower for November is the
chrysanthemum, which signifies that
Japan received our fleet without
starting anything. The moon will
be full on the Sth.
