Tue ruts from the White House dis
playing
Its burden of trophies and heads.
We shall sigh-and gads. for good
And our eyes ahall be heavy with
tears.
For there1l never be anything like 1t
In another ten thousand Of years.
The gun-men shall walk by the wag-
And utter their lusty boo-hoos,
The stork shall despair. and the pap
Shall grieve for the passing of
The liars shall come from their bur-
The fakir shall stick out his head.
And the milksop shall venture from
And come out from under the bed.
And only the teachers shall teach US,
And only the preacher shall preach.
And no one shall mix 1t with evil,
And none shall put into the breach.
The tumult shall die and the shouting.
The hip and the hunrah expire,
And the gayety relished Of nations
Shall be one with Gomorrah and
Tho winter shall end and the heav-
sns shall smile with the beauty Of
spring. The bullfrog shall woe In the
gioaming. and the robin shall merrily
sing. The calf shall cavort in the pas
ture with bliss in the pitch of his tail.
the lark shall awake in the morning
and sing from the tip Of a rail. the
wind shall disport with the washing
and people the tails of the shirts. and
tho modester maids shall 60 walk
ing with shot in the hens of their
skirts.
T. RI shall sum up In the matter of
what may remain to be done. and ev-
eryone under his orders shall work
like . son-of-a-gun. A few parting
ahots at the Seattle. liar or two for
the list, a round with the House for
the eubber, a message or 30 In the
.grist-and then we shall rest, and
shall need it. that seven years run
ming have laughed, and where We have
vhooped we shall have an occasional
oackle with Taft.
And meanwhile the feet. having
gtrdled the earth, our more provident
men shall beg Of the Slope not to bust
Us with having to grid it again. The
Congress shall die, and another shall
take up its burden of care, our Uncle
Joe Cannon shall rivet his pantaloons
into the chair, the Senate shall utter
thanksgiving that Teddy has quit for
"a hunt. the glowing pink sideburns of
sherman shall ravish the view up in
front, the danger of getting spank
ing shall perish and pass out Of mind,
and Tillman shall pull out the pillow
that he has been wearing behind.
The crocus shall wake, and the red
bird
Shall whistle tu-whee and tu-whit,
The flicker shall drum on the cornice,
And the cook shall give notice and
quit
The wild duck shall fly, and the hun
Shall wade with his middle immers-
ed,
The pleurisy, chills and pneumonia
Shall fight over who saw him first,
And the calends of March shall re-
mind us
That Caesar was stabbed in the ides
By a lot of Black Handlers and Da-
goes,
Confound their contemptible hides!
Alas. for the glory of Caesar-his
notice was pinned on his door. and
when he went out he encountered
dozen Black Handlers or more. Said
Brutus. "Da mun-did you fatch eet?
Said Caesar, "No breenga do mum"
whereat by thes tatute of Pompey the
terrible murder was done. THE Black
Hand forever!" they shouted, and al
most a whole grading crew fell on
him with flashing stilletos and cut
the great Caesar in two. Alas for the
fear of destruction that a life of ex-
posure had calloused! Alas for the
gourd-colored monkeys the vessels
bring owed as BALLAST Alas for. the
mightiest figure occurring In history's
span, but good for the fate which COZ
