FOR SEPTEMBER.

I Now softened suns mellow luster
shed.
The laden orchards glow with Tempt
ing red;
! On hazel boughs the clusters hang
embrowned,
And with the hunting horn the fields
resound.
-Old September Poem.
Well we should say so, and the mel
low horn of Mr. Morgan will awake
the morn, bidding us garner for the
bins and cribs in which we labor for
his royal nibs. The summer ended and
the blower on, the respite over and
the money gone, and Rockefeller as we
drill along, howing and hoping we are
well and strong.
The seaside sojourner will quit the
shore, and the summer girl will line
up three or four conquests In puppy
love she has around, and choose the
one that is to go undrowned The
which selection from the litter born of
summer madness she will then suborn
with things sufficient to unlock its
eyes, and hurry homeward with the
gasping prize.
The busted tourist will return from
France with hotel stickers stuck upon
his pants, and tarred and postalcarded
by his friends, will reap the penalty
of what he sends. They'll waltz him up
and down upon a rail, and alternately
turn him head and tail. or howsoever
they may best enjoy the views in We
nice or the site of Troy.
The festive calf will blithely sniff
and sport, and deftly tip up where the
hair Is short, and In the quiet even af-
ter-glow the quail win pipe his dulcet
piccolo. The bold insurgent will in
surge the more, and fill the planet
with his dreadful roar. and each one
betting he will not be last, the autumn
candidates will gallop past.
The new progressive and the Demo-
crat, the uninslfging that are stand
ing pat and in the midst OF them,
unfaint of heart, our Mr.. Bryan on the
water cart. A maze of issues, and a
mass of men, and To- gallus busting
now and then, and not especially
alarmed by II the trusts desisting till
the swarm has lit.
The sad first day of school will come
to pass,
And the barefoot boy will hide out in
the grass,
And by the time we've caught these
malcontents,
The Crippen chase viii look like thirty
cents.
Milady Fashion In her hobble skirt
will stride the pavement with the men
alert to set her right side up again in
ease she should In time turn turtle any
place. II does beat thunder what the
women wear. and how they stick on
lther peoples hair, constrict their
and constraln their toes and
What importance they attach to
,lothes. But bless us, are they after all
% blame. or had they been in these
hlngs quite the same. II Mother Ewes
