The whole conversation, some notes OF which
are now before us. would make an Interesting
story. but we can quote only one more expression.
General Lee had been speaking of the wasted CON
dition of the South after the war and exclaimed:
II am really prouder OF the work OF Southerners
after the war when our men In the face OF the
most discouraging circumstances n people ever
had to face. set themselves to rebuild the waste
places and restore civilization and prosperity
say. | am really prouder OF what our people &C
compiIshed In those dark days than OF tho bravery

One day last July the writer visited General

Canderbone's June Forecast.

1t was the seventeenth of June,
And great was the convention
The vote was coming pretty soon,
And thrilling was the tension.
..Alabamar cried the clerk,
And some there were went daft
When L. $. Marshal showed his
head out in the seething mass
and said
Count % for Taft.'
The Cannon men turned pale as
ghosts,
And the Hughes men gasped for
breath
The men for Fairbanks clung to
posts
As colorless as death.
Arkansas the clerk exclaimed,
And the hall shook fore and aft
When a spry postmaster, white OF
hair. hoped to the main deck
of his chair,
And cried Eighteen for Taftr'
The Fairbanks men exused groans,
And the Cannon men shed tears,
And the Hughes men uttered none
but means
That once had uttered cheers.

And the whole convention laugh
ed,
When revenue collector rose and
whistled shrilly through his
nose,
Count 20 more for Taft!'
The Hughes men looked at the
Cannon men,
And they crawled out OF their
chairs
And the Fairbanks fellows Joined
them when
They pulled their Teddy Bears.
And they all rushed up on the
center stage
As men who had made ready
And when the din and the tumult
died, and the dust had settled
down inside.
The candidate was Teddy.
And when Bill Taft discovers
what a mean trick they have play
ed him, he'll shed his coat and go
TO find the man who has betrayed
him. He'll lumber up the White
House steps. with each jump grow
ing warmer, and Ted will hear him
coming in, and slip into his
armour. They'll spar around the
room a bit, and Ted will cry, See
here Bill. / know the whole affair
must look all-thunderation queer,
Bill; but listen: You'll be named
for vice, and when we're both
elected, why. I'll resign. You'll
get it, Bill-fact is, that | suspect
ed Bryan would defeat you, Bill
which made it necessary for me to
head the ticket, Bill, lest every
thing miscarry."
And Bill will sink into chair,
aware that he has messed it, and
will exclaim, Il see it now. BY
.Jove, I should have guessed it!
O, most ungrateful wretch am |,
TO think that you who made me
my benefactor and my friend had
shameles-sly betrayed me!
Whereat they will embrace and hug
AS lovers reunited,
And Ted will rest on William S
breast
And softly say, Delighted"
June gets its name from Juno
the Roman goddess of marriage
Juno was supposed to see every
body happily married. She was
highly qualified to do this, for she

scandal than Tom Platt, and was
as bold as Gilmanaire Corey. Juno

rivals by turning them into COWS,
which made Jupiter cattle king.
The college graduate will hear
The Macedonian cry
OF Kansas farmers who must get
The wheat cut by July.
They'll rustic out while yet the lark
Is chirruping his matin.
And chase the binder round the
field
Exuding Greek and Latin.
The dinner bell will bring the
sage, the scholar and the cynic,
and dinner will become sort of
scientific clinic. Astronomers will
talk of Mars. of Saturn and of
/ Venus, and Latinists recall few
romunces of Silenus. The June
bug will be mentioned as the genus
Lachuosterna, aad other bugs will
speak of land as being terra tirma.
They'll quarrel, shout and some
times swear in Arabic and Greek.

wondering and doubt, will deeply
marvel what the hotel Bill it's all

the 2lst will be the longest day of
the year. Upon that date the sun
will reach the Tropic of Cancer
in the northerly declination, and
will start south again. On the
same day the month will pass out
of the influence of Gemini the
Twins, and persons born after the
21st need not be afraid. They will
not have any. Upon the contrary,
the stork will find only single
orders under the zodiacal sign of
Cancer the Crab Children born
under this sign will crawl back

The smiling heavens will inspire
The skylark and the linnet,
And the busy parsons will turn out
A new bride every minute.
A few friends will throw shoes and

And taste the wedding cake.
And then make bt among them

Mr.. Bryan will complete his wall
around Denver about the Both. and
will set deadfall at the gate for
Governor Johnson. In the course
of the month, all Democrats who
have fought fist fights on the floor

distinguished themselves, will be
honorably mentioned for vice

The boys will seek the swimming
hole
In quite excited packs,
And paddle in it till the sun
Puts blisters on their backs:
And when the disobedients
Come wet haired back to town.
They'll get few more blisters
raised
A little lower down.
Commandments will come in
again and knowing well this bore,
the willy parent will take up seat
quite near the door: and when his
own child has declaimed, and
shown his skill and pluck, he'll
lead the plaudits for a time, and
impolitely duck.
The hungry boy will stow few
green apples in his tum, and his
ma will lay him belly up out i'll the
blazing sun; and after while the
pain will cease, the agony and
gripe, because, by virtue of the
sun, the once-green fruit is ripe.
And then the Fourth will come
again,
With death and lockjaw from it.
