GANDERBoNEs FORECAST.



Last year.
Alack and alas.
Beverly. Mass,
And Bill on the fiat
OF his back on the grass
Sounding the depths
OF the Opaline sky
And watching the clouds
Floating dreamily by
Last year,
Alack and alasl
Beverly. Mass
This year,
Sycamore Hill,
Strenuous still,
And no one complaining
For want of a thrill,
Shindy and sass
Just as certain as fate
Beverly, Mass,
Can dream early or late,
Shore as it pleases
And snooze as it will
This year.
Sycamore Hill.
OF August it may first be said, its
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 min
ute. and the news was always dun
without the gr "a; augustus in g.
lie 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 il 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 Romes awakenings
resulted from his teaching. He bat
tied holly for the right, and valiant
J ly imbued it. and the stork could not
attempt to light but what he up and
shooed 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 slum-
Der. and Rome awaited him to sing
some laudatOry number.
But here the parallel desists. Au-
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 a BIT like TheOdOrus.

crate the hot time he presented the
nation with. at any rate, so August
was invented.
