Now, isn't this great?"
Said Bryan, "You bet
Is my rudder on straight?''
And the wind coming up
With slight show of buster,
They both skidded off
Through the air belly buster.
And while they were flying
About a mile high,
The Roosevelt entry
Emitted 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 match
When you next come aboutI'
But Bryan just laughed,
And he said, my dear speeder,
Remember that l
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 al
ways cornered the supply i'll cold
storage. But Rome, like every other
nation, had a reformer not too often
for reasonable profits in business, and
when Numa Pompiliums came into
power in 7l3 B. C. he made October
the tenth month and busted the Oyster
trust He was idolized by grateful
populace, 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 Plate 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
VIII rise In mighty peals,
And the watchful Teddy Bear will nip
At William Howard 5 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-bear-
ing tails will go some on his ticket.
The frost will paint the sassafrass
a deep and glowing red, and the farm
hand will resume his howl for blank
cts on his bed The plant exudeo
phosphorus will gossamer the air, the
stiff rheumatic will put on his wind
proof underwear, the southwark NOV
ing ducks will quack upon the reedeo
lakes. and man will line himself in
side with buttered fanneel cakes.
The women will parade beneath
the big skyscraper hats, and guy lines
strung to steady them will anchor II
their rats; and every time the wine
blows brisk, with many screams ano
squeals, they'll all turn turtle anc
will fan the azure with their heels.
The camper will 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 tins
his nose goes off and honks upon tn
street. we'll scramble for the neares
curb as fast as we can dart, bellev
ing that his lusty sneeze is some ski
doodle cart
The candidate will press his SUI
and tell his little jokes while ne !
handing out cigars they name Tor Ia
NOUS folks; and notwithstanding al
the harm this sort of smoke has don
us, well all waltz up again ana u
his deadly Mrs. Guinness.
After the 26th October will be unde
the influence of the zodlacai sig
Scorpio the crustacean. Persons Dor
in Scorpoi are Holsters, and are most
lv actors and base ball players. Inc
have remarkable foresight. Anon
other things, they can tell when Tn
hired girl is going to quit, and al
WAYS give her notice first
The armoured football player WI
cavort in padded pants and butt
beat billy goat while frenlze
thousands dance He'll cut the 1o
with glass hid in his Paderewski MOI
and when they pile on sacks he q
war dance on the top. The colles
men will all get up and yell Tx
kingdom Come, the college girls WI
swallow six or seven gobs OF gun
The autumn sun will be obscured b
