What Gasderbo.e Thinks In Due to
Happen In November
tCopywright 1910 By c. H. Rieth)
Mr. Taft, who rules the nation,
Offers this, his proclamation:
Blessing US from day to day.
And the boon OF independence,
Has. we take it, come to stay;
And. whereas, Indulgent Nature
Lavishes upon US till
Bounty in excess OF what the
Weather and the bugs can kill:
and. whereas. The old republic
Couldn't be improved upon.
Notwithstanding everybody
Gets to run it of and on;
Therefore, I. as delegated
Now and then for short time hence
President. decree that turkey
Shall go up to 20 cents.
That's about all there is to it. Once
the country raised it's own, and the
White House proclamation was not
greeted with groan. Father simply
grabbed his Ratchet, mother got the
water hot. father read the proclama-
ton to the turkeys in the lot all the
young and female turkeys promptly
tainted from the shock. and after due
farewells the gobbler laid his head up
on the block.
No one telephoned the butcher ask
ing what turkey cost No one in his
deep resentment wished the Pilgrims
had been lost. No one. while the feast
proceeded, knew the torment Of the
rack figuring upon his napkin what
the day had set him back.
Everybody was provided. as the
founders pre-supposed No one can be
very thankful. If the truth should be
disclosed. paying what We pay for tur-
key. and. for all Of heavens gifts. feel
ing that the day was founded for the
Armours and the Swifts.
November gets it's name from the
Latin novem (nine), and was original
| ly the ninth month of the year. This
brought Thanksgiving around two
months earlier than we have it now,
and it became unpopular. The in
surgents, who constituted a majority
in the agricultural districts, were bit
terly opposed to it. They made two
! contentious: First, that young turkeys
We're not old enough to market; sec
ond. that crops had not progressed to
the point where il was possible to
make out whether there was anything
to be thankful for or not. In 713 B. G.
the storm broke. The insurgents car
| ried Gaul, Britannia and II other
doubtful states. and the Forum imme
J diately assembled and made November
the eleventh month of the year.
At any rate, the snow will fly, and
the wild duck spin across the sky with
both eyes focused on the ground. and
his tail-piece going round and round.
The eager hunter will deploy and sup
plement the live decoy. and the pneu-
mococcus. while he toots. will perfor-
ate his rubber boots.
little shooting now and then is
relished by lot Of men. They like to
gallivant about and let the farmers
run them out. 1t does them good to
feel. by jing. that Morgan doesn't own
everything, and if he came in conse-
quence, and also tried to climb the
fence. together with his dog and gun,
he. too, would also get the run.
November will be unusual this year
for the reason that there will be no
full moon. This is because there will
be a total eclipse of the moon on the
night Of the 10th, when 1T would 9TH
erwise be full. This eclipse will be
visible in the United States and In
Wall street, and it will send bacon
down a couple Of points.
The breath Of winter will distill up
| on the outer windowsill. and the chill
ing calf will hump his back and bur-
row deeper in the stack. The hired
man. with wintry spurts. will put on
both his undershirts. and the pluto
crat who sells us coal will pry our
| bodies from our souls.
Then let us all embrace the chance
and be as merry as We may, for
| whether we desist or dance. the fiddler
| is for all to pay. The gentle autumn
| time will pass. the cOuntrymen will
kill his hogs. the cotton-tail will
weave the grass around the Obfuscat-
| ed dogs. the honking goose will ride
| the heights with that wierd hollering
of his. and the wolf will sit around O.
| nights and tell the moon how thin he
| is.
| o woe is US that could enjoy the au-
! tumntime for aye and aye, and what

| from day to day. The phosphOrescence
| in the sky, the quail soft-piping on the
| hill. the blackbirds ever bobbing by.
and the wind soft-sighing where 1t
| will.
| But happiness can never last. as An
| thony could apprehend, and holding
cleo to him fast. destroyed himself be-
| fore the end. The summer cometh at
ter spring. and winter. merciless with
al, as truly must succeed the sweet
and gentle Establishments Of fall
! At any rate, upon a day
Deciphered in the almanacs,
December, desolate and gray,
Will come to whistle thru the cracks.
