When the last bear rug Is loaded
And the moving van heavily tneads
The ruts from the White House dis
playing
Its burden Of trophies and heads,
We shall sigh-and gads, for good
reason,
And our eyes shall be heavy with
tears.
For there'll never be anything like 1t
In another ten thousand of years.
The gun men shall walk by the wag-
OnB
And utter their lusty boo-hoos,
The stork shall despair. and the pap
Shall grieve for the passing of
news,
The liars shall come from their bur-
rows,
The 6alkir shall stick out his head.
And the milksop shall venture from
hiding
And come out from under the bed.

And no one shall mix 1t with evil.
And none shall put into the breach.
The tmuk shall die and the shout
Ing.
The hip and the hurrah expire,
And the gayety relished Of nations
Shall be one with Gomorrah and
Tyre.
The winter shall end and the heav-
ems shall emile with the beauty OF
spring. The bulfrog shall WOO In
the cleaning. and the Robin shall
merily sing. The cah shall cavort
In Hhe pasture with bliss in the pitch
of his tail, the lark shall awake In
the morning and sing from the tip
Of q rail, the wind shall disport with
the washing and popple the tails Of
the shirts. and the modester maids
hem Of their skirts.

Of what may remain to be done. and
everyone under his orders shall

rest, and shall need 1t, that seven
years running have laughed. and
where We have whooped we shall
have an occasional cackle with Taft.
And meanwhile the fleet, having

has been wearing behind.
The crocus shall wake. and the red

Shall whistle tu-whee and tu-whit.
The flicker shall drum on the corn

And the cook shall give notice and

The wild duck shall fly. and the hunt

That Caesar was stabbed in the
ides
By a lot of Black Handlers and Dago-

Confound their contemplate hides.
Alas, for the glory of Caesar-his
notice was pinned on his door. and
when he went out he encountered a
dozen Black Handlers or more. Said

and almost a whole grading crew
fell on him with flashing stilettos and
cut the great Caesar intwo. Alas
Tor the fear OF destruction that a
Life Of exposure had caloused. Alas
for the gourd-colored monkeys the
vessels bring over as ballast. Alas
for the mightiest figure occurring in
hiatory's span. but good for the fate
which condemns them forever to sell
