Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1908-11-05


A little pantomine,
A hasty diagnosis of
The perils of our time;
A farewell and promise,
A benediction aft
Some folks think its Bryan,
And others think it's Taft.
A man with twenty dollars,
Another man with ten,
A swift exchange of challenges,
Ard two excited men;
A show down and wager,
A bank note and draft
Some folks think it's Bryan,
And others think it's Taft
A homestretch and tumult,
A spyglass and shout,
A feverish excitement while
They try to make them out;
a flying dust cloud leading,
A second cloud abaft--
Some folks think it's Bryan,
And others think it's Taft.
In the old Roman calendar Novem-
Der was the ninth month. Blessings
fell early, and the empire gave thanks
lust before the first frost, but about
700 B. C. the trusts left the people SO
little to be thankful for after nine
months that it was decided to watt
while and see if anything would come
of the Roman elections. Numa ac-
cordingly made November the eleventh
month and had Thanksgiving fall with
the first SHOWS, notwithstanding the
month gets its name from the Latin
noyem 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 pant
the forest with deep and redder
dive. 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.
And then the presidential race
viii hold its royal sway,
And everyone will exercise
His liver, anyway.
He'll bounce it up and down between
His pancreas and gizazrd,
And waltz it through his inner WORKS
From A around to lizard,
And even through his present race
Nav prove to be in vain,
Ha,u have the health and strength &c
run
Sometime, perhaps, again
Az anv rate the candidates will dash
into tho stretch and both Bills-o the
Wisp will make themselves quite marc
to ketch. They'll squirt in spirited
response to many wild arousers' ano
