OUGHT TO HAPPEN
N OCTOBER

Funny Mans Forecast for the Month
That Follows
o. T. Roosevelt has come back to the
OF all the Rough Riders his luck was
the best
He rode from Dakota to San Juan
Hill,
And ne found him the spaniards he
wanted to kill.
Shouting. Into 'em Teddy,
An into 'em deep"
And the men of Granada
Went down in a heap.
He rested his broncho and fed him
his fill, and then he rode yelling up
Capitol Hill. He wasn't expecting or
asking thing. but he landed right in
the political ring, shouting Into 'em
Teddy. and into 'em plump and the
poor politicians went down in a lump
He watered his pinto and fed him some
oats,
And then he remounted and hunted for
goats
He found him some people who didn't
With all of his notions, and gave a
whoOp-pee,
Yelling, Into 'em, Teddy,
An into 'em hot"'
And he knocked them all into
The pittOmless bot
He hobbled his charger and gave
him some grass, and then he went
after some one in his class. He put
up lion with blood in it's eye, and he
clapped on the spurs with a terrible
cry, saying Into i'm, Teddy, an into
i'm hard!" and the lion passed on to
his final reward.
He breathed his good mustang and
looked him around,
But further adventure was not to be
SO he pulled up, his trousers and pull
ed down his vest,
And slowly rode back to his olden-
time West,
Shouting, Back to 'em, Teddy,
An back to 'em proud!'
And they gathered about him
And solemnly bowed.
He rode in his saddle. and rode on
his head, and he put all the tenderfeet
under the bed. He dashed to the East,
and he dashed to the West, and he
halted before them, expanding his
chest. saying, "Three cheers for Teddy,
the pride of the West!" and they took
a great pleasure is doing the rest.
October is from the Latin octO,
meaning eight, it was formerly the
eighth month of the year This
brought the football season around at
Ia time when there was grave danger
Of being suffocated before the ball
was even put into play, and there was
la great deal of dissatisfaction at the
old Greek and Roman universities. A
change was frequently talked of, but
it remained for Numa POmpilius, who
was one of the early friends of educa-
ton, to do anything about it. In 713
+. c. he moved October along to it's
present place in the calendar, and now
the quarterback a football team
always says before swapping the ball,
Numa, Numa,
3. c.
Come seven,
One, three!
!" After which the rOoters, who reach
ed very high rate Of proficiency in
the latter days of Numa. recite.
Numa, Numa,
BOOmalOOma,
Come seven,
One, three,

Whoopee!
Siwash!
or whatever the name Of the school
: is, you may hear them doing any
! time this month by following the riot
| wagon when it passes.
Until the 23d of the month. October
will be under the influence OF Libra
the Balance. which is the seventh

everybody running for office to keep
! on the fence pretty we'll as to the real
issues of the campaign, but when the
sun passes out of that constellation
on the following day they will begin
dropping on one side or the other. and
| it will be easier to make out who the
| true friends of the people are. After
the 22d we will be influenced by Scor-
pio. the Scorpion, whic his almos,
! meaningless now, but in early times
typified the manner in which the north
wind stung the old Greeks, who were
in the habit of going until very late
in the season without having on any
wear to speak Of, either over or under
\ bit Of Fall is as nice thing
1 AS l know anything about
When en- the the PumPkin pie is ripsning

| When the hunter gets his traps out.
| Awakened by the time of year.
| And the farmer. furious without,
| And hot within. begins to shout,
| Get ou-u-u-u--t of here"'
| Get ou-u-u-u-t of here-dadblam me
your skin!'
All. that's the proper time to sigh
| When the squirrel gets his goodies in
| Against the winter by-and-by.
| When the bending reaches of the sky
| Are very soft and very near.
And the farmer with watchful eye,
Begins to hop around and cry,
| Get ou-u-u-u-t of here.
Get oou-u,u.u-t of here-you blanky-
blank"
| All, that the season Of them all
| When winter hangs upon the flank
| OF the wild goose passing in the fall
| When the plaintive quail begins to cal
| Across the golden fields and sere,
And the farmer. bursting from the tai
With leaps and bounds. begins to bawl
Get ou-u-u-u-' Of here
The melancholy days will come, and
the pheasant will intone his drum up
on the sad and drowsy wind in the
solemn manner of his kind. The boom
ing frog will sniff the breeze and fal
to digging on his knees, and the buck
wheat cake will take a crack at thi:
fool thing Of coming back.
1t may be Jeffries and his strain ar,
never quite themselves again, but tn,
picked pigs foot and the rest are al
ways equal to the test. They never
dissipate a bit. but spend the summer
prime and fit, and let the frost sue
