GANDERBONE's FORECAST FOR
MARCH.
Copyright 1909 by G. II. Rieth

Copyright 1909 by c. II. Rieth)
When the last bear rug is oaded
And the moving van heavily treads
The ruts from the White House displaying
Its burden of trophies and heads,
We shall sigh-and gads for good reason,
And our eyes shall be heavy with tears,
For there II never be anything like 1t
In another ten thousand of years.
The gun-men shall walk by the wagons
And utter their lusty boo-hoos,
The stork shall despair, and the papers
Shall grieve for the passing of news.
The liars shall come from their burrows,
The faker shall stick out his head,
And the milksOp shall venture from hiding
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 hurrah ex pire
And the gayety relished of nations
Shall be one with Gomorrah and Tyre
The winter shall end and the heavens
shall smile with the beauty of spring.
The bullfrog shall WOO in the cleaning,
and the robin shall merilly sing. The
calf shall cavort in the pasture with
bliss in the pitch Of his tail, the lark
shall awake in the morning and sing
from the tip of rail, the wind shall
disport with the washing and popple
the tails of the shirts, and the modester
maids shall go walking with shot in the
hens of their skirts.
T. R. shall sum up in the matter of
what may remain to be done, and ev-
cry one under his orders shall work like
a son-of-a-gun. A few parting shots
at the Senate, liar or two for the list,
round with the House for the rubber,
a message or so in the grist-and then
VIC shall rest, and shall need it, that
seven years running have laughed, and
where we have whooped we shall have
an occasional cackle with Taft.
And meanwhile the fleet. having gir-
died the earth, our more provident men
shall beg of the Slope not to bust US
with having to grid it again. The Con-
gress 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 thanks
giving that Teddy has quit for a hunt,
the glowing pink sideburns of Sherman
shall ravish the view up in front, the
danger of getting spanking shall per-
ish and pass out Of mind, and Tillman
shall pull out the pillow that he has
been wearing behind.
Shall whisti tu-N hee 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 hunter
Shall wade with his middle immersed,
The pleurisy, chills and pneumonia
Shall ght over who saw him first,
And the calends of March shall remind us
That Caesar was stabbed in the ides
BY a lot of Black flanders and Dagoes,
Confound their contemp ptible hides
Alas, for the glory OF Caesar his no.
tice was pinned on his door, and when
he went out he encountered a dozen

BILE murder was done. "The Black
Hand forever!" they shouted, and al
most whole grading crew fell on him
with flashing stilettos and cut the
great Caesar in two. Alas for the fear
of destruction that a life of exposure
had calloused! Also for the gourd-

one his own, the young folks shall coo
in the parlor and the cook and the cop

busy with dialogues sweetened with
dear, the love corresponding in winter
shall strain as furnace grown hot,
and the widows shall pull hair and
quarrel comparing what each other

ST. Patricks Day come in the marnin'
Shall give its accustomed parade,
The Irish shall march in the city,
And "Wearing the Green" shall be played,
The Shamrock shall wave and the story
OF old be In everyone's mouth,
Albeit the Anti-Saloon League
Has driven more snakes from the South
Than ever were driven from Ireland
Except, we are bound to confess,
The snakes that were driven from Ireland
We're never returned by express.
The spring equinox shall enliven the
last of the month in way, but the
total effect will be nothing to those of
the Roosevelt sway. The lightning
shall flash and the thunder shall give
us a rumble or two, but they won't
scare us into the closet as Teddy's
were able to do. The weather, how
ever, shall physic the impurities out of
its blood, the sun shall resume with
the blower and dry and case-harden
the mud, the farmer shall put in his
garden with seed that his Congressman
sent, the thrush shall sit up in the tree
top and announce that the winter has
went, the roadbeds shall harden and
stiffen, decreasing the number of
wrecks, and people may travel little
without telescoping their necks.
The night of the sixth shall find Luna
AS perfectly round as a dish,
And the zodiac sign shall be Pisces,
Or commonly known as the Fish,
The children born under Its power
Shall slave in the getting OF wealth
And later spend all they have boarded
Attempting 10 get back their health,
Which latter, we've often concluded,
And rise to remark now and then,
AS one who has thought of these matters,
Is true of a whole lot of men.
And then we shall welcome sweet
April, when Teddy shall bid us farewell
and sail to give Africa's lions sample
of his kind of hell.

again, soon.
The first roundup took place on the
Pete Shatansky farm southeast Of
Weatherford Here were assembled
twenty-five horsemen, twenty-three
footmen, three automobile parties,
fourteen greyhounds and five fox
hounds. The nimble coyotes escaped
easily from the temporary corral with
lines of humanity on guard. Other
roundups Jared similarly During the
day ten coyotes and three wolves were
sighted.

GROOMING TAFTs TURKEY.
New England Farmer to Send Prssi-
dent Fowl For Thanksgiving Feast.

New England Farmer TO Send Presi-
dent Fowl For Thanksgiving Feast.
Tie president Of tie United States Is
one OF the few fortunate individuals in
the country who need not bother about
where the Thanksgiving menu is going
to come from 1t Is sure to come. 10
fact, it comes in sucn great quantities
and in such great variety that 1t would
take a man Of more than Mr.. Taft's
ample build and considerably more than
his capacity for enjoying good things to
eat TO get through the menu his friends
would provide.
There is a man up in New England
who prides himself on raising turkeys.
Some years ago he sent monster bird
to the White House for the presidents
dinner. The turkey had been fed up IA
great style 1t had been the pride Of the
farm, and the neighborhood through
out that part of the country had
watched the turkey grow into proper
state Of perfection for the palate Of
the president Of the United States The
turkey made a great hit at the White
House, and siiice that day one prize
bird and several others. just for good
measure, have been sent down from
the New England farm for the Thanks
giving dinner at the White House.
Other turkeys. to be sure. have been
laid before the presidents at this sea
son, but none has seemed to compare
with the New England fowl, and 50
each year the gift is repeated.
As for vegetables, they come by the
barrel. and for this one day at least

not give single thought TO the market

Thanksgiving at the White House,
much the same as at Christmas. is a
happy time indeed For a family in
which there are young people the
great big colonial house offers the most
enhancing opportunities for giving
vent to the holiday spirit Its great
wide halls, immense guest chambers
(which would make at least four good
sized bedrooms if they were partitioned
OFF as such). the high colonial fireplaces
blazing with their sparkling logs and
the big library--the White House liv-
ing room-are ideal.-Isabel A. Joyce

One Million Dollars
for a Good Stomach
This Offer Should be a Warn
ing to Every Man and
Woman

The newspapers and medical
journals have had much to say
relative to a famous millionaire s
offer of million dollars for a new
stomach.
This great multi-milionaire was
too busy to worry about the condi-
tion Of his stomach. He allowed his
dyspepsia to run from bad to worse
until in the end it became incur
able. His misfortune should serve
as a warning 10 others. Every one
who suffers with dyspepsia for a
few years will give everything he
owns for a new stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an alb
normal state Of the gastric juices.
There is one element missing
Pepsin. The absence Of this de-
stroys the function Of the gastric
fluids. They lose their power to
digest food.
We are now able to supply the
pepsin in a form almost identical
to that naturally created by the
system when in normal health, so
that it restores to the gastric juices
their digestive power, and thus
makes the stomach strong and well
We want every one troubled with
indigestion and dyspepsia to come
to our store and obtain a box Of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. They
contain Bismuth-Subnitrate and
Pepsin prepared by a process which
develops their greatest power to
overcome digestive disturbance.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are very
pleasant to take. They soothe the
irritable, weak stomach, strengthen
and invigorate the digestive or
gans, relieve nausea and indiges
ton, promote nutrition and bring
about feeling Of comfort.
If you give RexalI Dyspepsis
Tablets a reasonable trial we viii
return your money il you are not
satisfied with the resslt. Three
sizes, 25 cents, so cents and $1.00.
Remember you can obtain Rexall'
