Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1909-03-09
MARCH MIRROR.

We have reached the third month in
the calendar of 1909, known as March.
This month is not noted for anything
especially, except that the 18th day OF
ireland and the beginning OF spring
fall in this portion Of the cycle. March
usually cores in like lion and goes
out like hyena. The moon was fall
on the 6th-so were some human apes.
On tLs nth the descendants of the
dwellers of the green sod, and some
from some other countries, will respect
the memory of the patron saint BY
the wearing of the green.
Spring will begin ON the 21st and end
about July LIST in this latitude. Sleigh
ing will be rather poor on the latter
date.
1t was in the month of March that
Julius Caesars blood was let out of his
veins. The Black Hand society sent
notice to bring a sack of money and
deposit it on the wood yard near Wall
street, Rome. When ne and Brutus,
the latter Blackhander, met, Brutus
enquired, "Did you bringa da mun?"
Caesar replied, 81 did not fatch eet, !"
whereat the society fell apon hin with
stilettoes and cut him ia zwei, to use a
German word. Alas for one of the
mightiest figures in history, and twice
alas for the fact that ships have since
been bringing to this country as ballast
members of that society to "Sella de
banan."
March, 1909, will go down in history
as the month in which the "big sticks
rule ended in Washington, and when
Wisconsin elected an octogenarian as
one of its representatives In the senate.
The corpulent Taft and whiskered
Sunny Jim" have taken their seats,
and soon T. r. starts for Africa to stir
up the lions, whercat the stork is shed
ding tears and the nature takers and
members of the Annanias club are
crawling out from under the bed.
1t is said that children born in March
will slave to gather wealth, and later
spend all they have boarded in getting
back their health.
You can 60 down to the Big Bull falls
bridge the latter part of the month and
watch the ice go outfit you place no
value on your time. About March 10Th
the spring prevaricator will make
affidavit to the statement that he saw a
robin roosting il the court house yard.
It's strange that at this period of the
year, when gazing on mating sparrows'
these prevaricators are stricken with
color blindness.
