Cañon City record., 1909-11-04

Having spared 1t, and the prupes
Are the finest and most filling
We have raised in many moons;
And whereas. the reign OF terror
Mothered by the suffregette
Is remote from us matter
OF an ocean trip as yet,
And the polar controversy
Has subsided for a bit,
Leaving us TO reassemble
Our disseminated wit;
And whereas. the railroads have
Delivered Taft the debonair
Here and there around the country
Right side uppermost with care,
And the Congress in its wisdom
Has arranged a sort OF truce
BY which business and reform have
Sort OF turned each other loose;
And whereas. no one is running
Very hard this year for place,
And we're neither disconnected
Nor distracted by the race,
And the present state OF being.
Notwithstanding We rehearse
Some complaints to keep in practice.
Might quite easily be worse;
Therefore. Thursday. or November
Twenty-fifth is set apart
AS a day OF thanks and fullness
or the stomach and the heart.
When the sacrihcial turkey
Shall resume its festal sway.
And We may rejoice II isn't
What 1t might be. anyway.
November gets its name from no.
vem. the Latin word for nine. II was
ancienuy the ninth month. but that
brought It around at the season when
the Roman explorers were getting in
from Britain and other parts and rails
ing such a hullabaloo with their
claims and counter claims that II was
finally made the eleventh month when
the atmosphere had somewhat cleared
and there was really something to be
thankful for. Incredulity In those
days was much worse in those days
than II is now. When Caesar return
ed to Rome and claimed to have d.
vided Gaul into three parts he prscip-
itated a dispute in the violence OF
which both his Eskimo were assassi-
mated and the empire rose and fell
