GANDERBONE's MARCH FORECAST.
Written For The Sea Coast Echo.

And when he sees them lurking there
He'll guess their fell intent
And run just like his friends all hope
He'll run for President.
The candidates Republican will pas
the stand again, and the portly form o
Mr.. Taft will show handsome gain
the whiskeriets of Mr.. Hughes will floa
upon the breeze, the fleet that sailec
Magellan's Straits will cruise the west
ern seas; the infant boom of Cortelyo,
will grimly yield the ghost, and tht
fleet will run the banquets on the Other
Latin coast.
i Another lot of foreign counts, anc
busted sports and old, will come across
to marry more of our dead easy gold; {
count will marry million cool, and {
discount two or three, and gold anc
girl (and horse laugh loud) they'll al
put out to sea; and while the Goulds
give Boni one-just one-more chance
al&ck, we'll ali steal off and kick our
selves quite low down on the back.
The country papers will get used
To Uncle SANS mandate
That they may not hold readers who
Are not paid up to date;
But the Government will not assist
At squaring things, somehow,
With old subscribers made so mad
They never will pay now.
March was the first month of the Ro-
man year, and was named from Mars,
the god of war. Mars looked like q
twin brother to Richard P. Hobson, and
he was the regular Roman to the Peace
Conference at the Hague. He was sup
posed to be the father of Romulus, the
founder of Rome, but he was not; he
was only the young mans godfather.
In ancient warfare it was customary to
place a good bronze bust of Mars on
the field and then fight for it.
The comedy of life will be about what
| it has been-tne men will labor day and
night, and the wives of men will spin.
They'll have a club for every day, and
never cease to go; they'll learn to talk
of many themes their husbands do not
know; they'll hear a lecturer from
Greece, another on Japan, another on
the Renaissance, and several on man;
they'll hire lot of lons-haired freaks
to make them look erudife; they'll work
on papers every morn, & and look up
things at night; and their husbands
will get supper cold and suffer ridicule-
and the children will grow up like
wolves, while Mamma goes to school.
The money indiscreetly loaned
Will faithfully keep Lent,
And lady teacher will sit on
The pin when it is bent;
But when the principal responds
To screams heard through the house,
She'll not tell him what happened, but
Will say she saw mouse.
Until the 21st, March will be under
the influence of the zodiacal sign known
as Pisces the Fish. Pisces will induce
his relative, Stuyvesant Fish, to take
the Illinois Central fight into the U. S..
Supreme Court, where E. H. Hartman
will be ditched with two bum lamps, a
derailed back bone, and swift kick in
the caboose.
After the 2ist, March will be under
the influence of Aries, the sign OF the
Head. Under this sign old heads will
come to the front in the presidential
race, and Uncle Joe Cannon will come
out of last place and make the Presi-
dent put two more burrs in the spacious
bosom of Mr.. Taft's pants.
Persons born under Pisces drink like
a fish and vote wet. They make excel
lent subordinates, like Friday and Loeb.
They can say no, and it is futile to ex-
pose them to any more life insurance,
for they won't take it. They are very
cautious, and always take seats near
the fire escape,
Persons born under Aries always think
before speaking, and then never say
anything. They are good organizers
and generally belong to the Anti-Saloon
League. They make good lawyers, and
generally get the case continued until
they can elect the prosecuting attorney.
The Vernal Equinox will come,
| And the Irish will parade;
| The booming bullfrog will resume
His music in the glade.
The mole will burrow in the lawn,
| And the rash duck hunter toot
His caller while pneumonia drills
A leak hole in his boot.
], And then the gentle spring will come
and the poet win essay, with swelling
breast and hiss, his bum and Muse
attended lay; the rooster viii announce
the dawn, and the hen will scratch the
dirt. and everybody will put ON thin
ner undershirt. The sassafras VIII brew
again to tone the system rank, and th'
| washout will upset the train and throw
Ii down the bank; the gander and th'
goose will moult, the meadow Will b
wet, and the spring intoxicated colt vii
. turn summefset. The house will b
cleaned up again, the robbins come il
drove, and the husband will eat brea
! and cheese behind the kitchen stove
The young mans heart will beat 70
love. and the widow in her weeds wi
