Ganderb0nes Forecast for June

Ganderbones forecast for June
OF June IT may be said. indeed,
1t IL a great invention,
, Aud one We rather sadly need
To somewhat ease the tension.
II we're to fsh, to loaf aud wish,
Or hearken Natures call.
Well do 1t soon or late In June,
Or do II not at all.
The comet, having hung about until
we were converted, shall gradually
peter out and leave us quite deserted.
We must recall we are not all the
world it sets Alright. and bid IL speed
where there Is need to cause another
fright.
: 1t Is a sort OF cop upon beat OF
great dimensions. and must to them
be getting on to scatter It's atten-
tons. They have John DIS and Nor
gan P.s on many distant ball, and
were II not for HALEY hot, these few
would grab IL all.
A Guggenheim would capture Mars,
q Rockefeller Venus. and Morgans on
the other stars. would utterly dcmean
US. We'd e"en be unhuppiIy, quite
naked where We sit II IL were not
that HALEY got around and saw to IT..
1t will not all ut once appear. how
far the comet served us, or just to
what.extent the fear prevailed while
1t observed us; but safe to say that
for u day, or thereabOut sOmcwleres.
the trusts won't find IL half so hard to
tell our things from theirs.
However, aud be It AS it may.
The comet will outpace us
And Theod0rus on day
viii happily embrace us.
The hemisphere will tip we fear.
Beneath his mighty track,
But even to the liars will
Rejoice to see him back.
'Twerc better to be in club and
branded Ananias than languish sadly
as dub unsung or hnnnred by US.
The chance for fame since Afric game
"'oSu S'u w WV
Dutch has not been much, and he is
welcome, very.
Our Mr.. Taft's good old soul, and
plugs along undauntcd, but Thco-
dorus on the whole was rather what
we wanted. We never cease to prate
Of peace and say that war Is bad, but
even 50 1t does get slow with no one
very mad.
The present Congress will conclude
Where freedoms latest sluawk was,
And turn to have its work reviewed
BY all the big chautauQuas.
The president will pitch his tent
AT Beverly again,
And the news anon will dwell upon
The likelihood OF rain.
Upon the 2lst the sun will reach the
line OF Cancer. and summer not too
underdOne will haply be the answer.
This Is, they say, the longest day,
however you may search, but you will
scarcely notice 1t, unless you are at
church.
Atany rate, the swimming-nOle will
get a little warmer, the harvest time
will vex the soul and slumber of the
farmer. He'll pray for hands to tend
his lands, spread food and tie the dog:
and the wary tramp will make his
camp inside hollow log.
The rich will HE away to spend the
summer by the water-to live until
the seasons end, the glad life OF an
otter. The poor, meanwhile, will
sweetly smile, however fortune goes,
and splash and rub inside the tub,
alte rnate with the clothes.
The singing stars will reindulge
their old, familiar riddle, and milk
and buttermilk will bulge the boarder
round the middle. The heart of June
will hum tune Of plenty or crust.
and the whippoorwlll when the night
Is still will whistle like to bust.
And then July will come around
In terrible ascendance,
And we will shoot each other up
Observing Independence.
