Noi . 1S IL plSdScS
And snooze as it will
: This year,
Sycamore Hill.
or August 1t may first be said, It's
name is from Augustus, whom men
have likened unto Ted, perhaps with
out injustice. He made the world
go round about as many times a
minute. and the news was always
dull without the great Augustus in
It,
He had his Ananias Club for liars
and for takers, and he loved to sail
his little tub among the Roman
breakers. He counted peace a sort
of plague, and never did pursue it,
but let it rally at The Hague, and
you couldn't beat him to it.
He preached about the same old
things that Teddy has been preach
ing, and most Of Rome's awakenings
resulted from his teaching He bat
tied holly for the right, and valiant
ly imbued it, and the stork could
not attempt to light but what he up
and shot it.
There was, however, one affair to
tell which Is to- tattle, and that was
where this Roman bear was coming
IN from battle. He had, OF course,
put everything opposing him to
slumber, and Rome awaited him to
sing some laudatory number.
But here the parallel desists. Al
gustus said them, No, sir! and when
he entered with his lists it might
have been the grocer for all the greet
ing that he got from that admiring
chorus, the which desire, of course,
was not bit like Theodorus.
But howsoever, when he died the
month that loves to grill US was be-
ing written far and wide the season
of Sextilus. They wanted to COM
memorate the hot time he presented
the nation with, at any rate, so Au-
gust was invented.
The dog days will resume again,
And the man who voted water
With the weather down to eight or
ten -.-.--.- ...~-.-.--.
Below will grow the hotter
With wishing that he had foreseen
The season hot and steWing,
And nothing but choice between
Pink lemonade and blueing.
1t will not strike him, we're afraid,
as when the cold was singing, and
up and down the wind-swept street
the icicles were clinging. There's
nothing like a dry parade, the shouts
of-HallelulAah, and the children
skillfully arrayed for what you want
to fool you.
It's very easy to forget there's such
a thing as Summer, or such a quanti~
ty as sweat, what time the busy
drummer is rub-a-dubbing I'D the
street a million bumps a minute, and
the line sweeps by with rhythmic
feet and the little shavers in 1t.
1t somehow makes 1t seem that
booze is only f1t for motors, and Ia
the scuffie that ensues not very MANY
voters bethink them that chance
remains that milk won't give them
grtStle to last when August boils
their brains and their ears begin to
whistle.
A crafty temperance is that con-
irving It's elections when Boreas is
at the bat in these disputed sections.
Ihere Is time for everything, to
labor and to potter, and one to sit
way back and sing inaudib1y for
water.
At any rate, the world will spin
With very small pretension,
And the Fall election will begin
To clamor for attention.
The next few weeks will fire the Gun
Repeatedly and oftly,
And lot Of folks begin to run
For office very softly.
