Now, Taft was enjoying
An aeToplane flight.
And skimming around
Like the man-swalloV, Wright,
When who should ap&Ee4iit
Holding fast 70 MS shat ~
Aud sailing the sky.
But the man from the Flatia
Said fat Bill.to Platte Bill.
Now, isn't this great?Y
Said Bryan, You bet
Is my rudder on straighi2f
And the Siud coming up
With 4 Slight show Of blnsteri
They both skidded ofs
Through the mir belly buster
Aud while they were flying
About q mile high
The Roosevelt entry
Emitted a cry;
And Bryan. supposing
He'd dropped from the race,
Sipwed up with a Mortified
Look in his face.
But Taft was just floating
My moter's gone out
Now, hand ME a match
When you next come about"
But Bryan just laughed,
Aud he said. my dear speeder,
Remember that !
AIN the great matchless leader"
October is from the Latin octo,
meaning eight II 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 always
cornered the supply in cold storage.
But Rome like every other nation. had
reformer not too often for reason
able profits in business, and when
Numa Pompilius came into power in
7l3 b. c. he made October the tenth
month and busted the Oyster Trust.
He was idolized by n grateful pOpu-
lace. and was only relinqushed 10
private life in his later days that he
might crafty his desire 10 hunt big
game in Africa.
The presidential race will reach
Three quarters of a mile,
And both the Bills will hit II mp
In cd old fashioned style.
The Platte viii 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 win nip
At William Howards heels.
The pink mudguafds 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-bearing
tails will go some on his ticket.
The frost will paint the sassafTass a
deep and glowing red. and the farm
hand will resume his howl for blankets
on his bed The plant exuded phos-
phorus will gossamer the air, the stiff
rheumatic will put on his wind-proof
underwear the southward moving
ducks will quack upon The reeded
lakes, and man will line himself inside
with buttered flannel cakes.
The women will parade beneath the
big sky-scraper hats, and guy lines
strung to steady them VIII anchor in
their rats; and every time the wind
blows brisk, with many screams and
squeals, they'll all turn turtle and Will
fan the azure With their heels
Tae camper win unto tho woods
TO live the life of Crusoe
And the quail viii balance on a rail
And whistle like Carus0
The pcor hay fever patient will re.
turn from his retreat and every time
his nose goes off and honks upon the
street, Wen scramble for the nearest
curb as fast as we can dart, believing
that his lusty sneeze is some skidoodle
cart
The candidate win press his suit and
tell his little jokes while he is handing
out cigars they name fsr famous folks
and Notwithstanding all the harm this
sort of smoke has done us. Wen all
waltz up again and try his deadly Mrs.
Guinness
After the 26th October will be under
the influence of the zodiacal sign
Soorpio the crustacean Persons born
in Scorpio are Holsters, and are mostly
actors and base ball players. They
have remarkable foresight Among
other Things. they can tell when the
hired girl is going tc quit and always
give her notice first.
The armoured football player Will
cavort IN padded pants aud elNt to
beat a billy goat while frenzied nous
ands dance He'll cut she foe with
glass hid in his Paderewsh mop. and
wlen they pile on sacks he'h do d
war dance on the top. The college
