stellation of Scorpio, but on the
twenty-second 1t will pass into that
OF Sagittarius, the Archer. This will
give the wolf the ball again on our
1O-yard line, with only three months
to play. If we can hold them there
for downs, the consumer will eat on
the ninth, seventeenth and twenty
seventh, as he has been doing; but
If they score on us, he will eat only
once this month-on the twenty-flfth:
All of us, no doubt, remember some
thing of the month Of November, when
the pumpkin pie is blooming, and the
husking bee is on; when the hills are
turning lumber, and the hog lies down
to slumber in the melancholy knowl-
edge that he is to die at dawn.
1t Is then the apple butter has
tendency to splutter. and to padiate
perfume quite a distance from the
pot; it is then the orchards beckon,
and it's pretty hard to reckon whether
father had his senses when he moved
to town or not.
Then the pheasant, that great drum
mer, wakes the morning and for sum-
mer in the sad heart of the forest
is a sweet and plaintiff wall: and
tho geese go over flying down the
arching heavens crying loud alarums,
as if winter fairly had them by the
tail.
You would think to hear them hol-
low that a blizzard were to follow.
and that Boreas had stung them
where they couldn't stand the pain;
but we know them pretty fairly by
ever look for anything beyond lit
tie rain.
But it's not so bad to see them,
Nor amiss to want to be them
They are free. which makes married
Man look at them more than once;
And thoughtful contemplation
OF that wedged aggregation
Is not, anyhow, exactly
What made any man a Ounce.
It arouses his suspicious
That too many politicians
Have to do with the direction
In which humankind is bound;
And he wishes it were fated
That We might be recreated
And begin again at Eden
With a new deal all around.
But howeverwise it may be, this
November is the baby for that plen-
ty which is pictured with long Pan
dora horn from which sustenance is
pouring in abundance on the flooring
in the shape of sweet potatoes, pump
kins, cabbages and corn.
All of us know that old picture,
And it's what November's like,
When the days are soft and hazy
And the farmers on the hike
When his corn and his hog killing,
Till he's all but out of breath
With exertion lest the people
In the cities starve to death.
The November flower is the chry-
sasthemum. To wear a red or pink
one signifies love; white one indi-
Gates that you are for Cook, a green
one indicates that you are for Peary;
and brown one indicates that you
do not know what to think Novem-
ber's birth stone is the topaz, and it
is good month to be married in,
love pirates being too much occupied
with getting into winter quarters to
be chasing and boarding occasional
bliss.
After Thanksgiving. the greatest
day in the month will be the ninth,
which is the day the Pilgrims land
ed. There will be a big celebration
at Plymouth Rock, with a parade by
the trusts and speeches by Messrs.
Aldrich, Morgan. Rockefeller and 9TH
er active friends of liberty.
On the fourth. fifth and sixth, Mr..
Bryan will make a few short ami
versary dashes around the house for
! old times sake.
And then Defenders cruel blasts
Will bite the weather vane,
And Santa Claus will skid around
Upon his aeroplane.
