FOR MARCH.

FOR MARCH.
When the last bear rug is loaded
And the moving van heavily treads
The ruts from the White House dis
playing
It's 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 it
In another ten thousand OF years,
The GUNNER shall walk by the
wagons
And utter their lusty boo-hoos,
The stork shall despair, and the
Papers shall grieve for the pass
ing of news,
The liars shall come from their bur-
rows,
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 it with evil,
And none shall put into the breach,
The tumult shall die and the shout
ing,
The hip and hurrah expire,
And the gayety relished of nations
Shall he one Of GomOrrah and Tyre.
The winter shrll end and the
heavens shall smile with the beatty
Of spring. The bullfrog shall WOO in
the cleaning, and the robin shall
mcrrily sing, The calf shall cavort
in the pasture with bliss in the pitch
of his tail the lark shall awake in
fine morning and sing from the tip of
Il rail, the wind shall disport with the
washing and people 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
everyone under his orders shall work
like a son-of-a-gun, A few parting
shots at the Senate, liar or two for
the list, a round with the house for
rubber, a message on sion the grist-
and then We shall rest and shall need
it, that seven years running have
laughed, and where we have whoop-
/ ed we shall have an occasional cackle
With Taft.
And meanwhile the fleet having
girdled the earth, our msre provi
dent 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 huht, the
glowing pink sideburns of Sherman
shall ravish the view up in front, the
danger of getting a spanking shall
perish and pass out of mind, and
Tillman shall pull out the pillow 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
hunter
Shall wade with his middle immersed,
The pleuresy ,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 lot of Black Handlers and Dagoes
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
Bru US, "Da mun-did you fatch it?
Said Caesar, No breenga ola num-
whereat by the by the. statue of Pom
pey the terrible murder was done.
The Black Hand forever!' they
shouted and almost whole grading
crew fell on him and cut the great
Caesar in two. Alas for the fear oil
destruction that a life of exposure
had caIleusedl Alas for the gourd-
monkeys the vessels bring over as
ballasti Alas for the mightiest figure
occurring in history's span, but good
tor the fate which condemns them tc
forever sell da banan!
The Hateful 10th having happened
and spring having FURNISHED the
dove according to all the traditions
the season shall open for love. The
soul mate shall sigh for it's fellow
the hard hit affinity groan, the com
mon unclassified lover shall bawl t.
call someone his own, the young folk
shall coo in the parlor and the cool
and the cop in the rear, the tele
phone wire shall be busy with dia
logues sweetned with dear, the low
