NOVEMBER FORECAST.
"Who is the candidate ahead,
And gaining rapidly? they said.
''The one who dashes down the track
With the others bowling at his
back?"
'Why, that said Hilles,
Hopeful still,
''Why, that's our man,
| reckOn-Bill.'
':The one i'm running tights?" they
cried,
"With smelling bottle at his side,
His hackers greeting him with
cheers,
And his knee-caps tanning at his
ears?'
"Why, that said Mr.
Bryan yes
why, tnat our JefSeyman,
l guess"
"The fast man raising all the dust?"
They said in evident distrust.
'The fellow showing them his heels
Like a farm hound going to his
mealS?'
'Why, that" the
Roosevelters said,
'Why, that's our lion hunter,
Ted
'The front one galloping?" they
whined,
with his coat-tails standing out
behind,
His brogans putting UP the dirt,
And sandbur working in his
shirt?''
That's him!" they
Separately said,
That's Bill! "The .Jerseyman!"
And "Ted!"
November is from the Latin No
vem, nine. 1t was formerly the ninth
month of the year, but Numa, who
was running for a third term, refu-
sed to issue the regular Thanksgiving
proclamation until he knew how he
was coming out, and pushed it along
10 O1n 1rh rIn n ixIvnC nh
and did not proclaim any Thanksgiv-
ing at all, but the one and two
termers got together. and the day
was celebrated over his head.
fond farewell, thou lovely fall,
the winter days are coming The
ivy rattles on the wall, and the flow
ers are succumbing. The wild goose
wedges down the sky, with Boreas
to bite him and the bull moose
sounds his thrilling cry for all who
care to fight him.
Adieu to peace, the tender sky,
the beauties of the season, the can
didate's untrOubled eye and the mere
appeal to reason. The battle rushes
to it's close, the bull begins to bel
low, and the last man with a bloody
nose will be lucky fellow.
The field at Armageddon throbs
the red bandana blithely bobs above
the royal bonnet The glof club
rises on the air from each new spat-
tered noggin, and the Jersey man is
everywhere with his bloody pogamOg
gan.
Lay on thou warriors athirSt,
With neither let nor comma,
And fie upon the one who first
Shall below for his mamma.
The country will survive the row,
However it's decided,
And it can't much matter anyhow.
The way We are divided.
The hunters horn will rouse the
morn with mellow music of the chase
and waking day will look the worn
and cold duckShOOter in the face.
The pnemocOccus will devise few
wet inlets in his boot and at the end
he will arise and calmly massacre a
cOOt.
Meanwhile the farmer will pursue
the bold quail hunter on his manse.

through few wire fences, gets his

his knees in rapid contact in the
blast, will hurry hOmeward while
disease pursues him hotly to the last.

ordered so far this month. mostly for
next years delivery. The only order
coming to light yesterday was for To-.
600 tons of Mayari steel rails placed
with the Pennsylvania Steel Company
for the Northern Pacific. The Steel
Corporation is practically all sold out
for rails for this years delivery, while
several independents are in the same
position. t

advance of 81 ton in 1912. The new
prices are $3.50 per 100 pounds for
wire. andfor nails $40 per 100 pounds

MOTORCYCuSTS ORGANIZATION
KEEPS UP WAR ON TANK RIDING

The practice commonly known as
.'tank-riding.' method by which
some motorcyclists carry two passen-
gers on a motorcycle built for only
one passenger. is going to be discour-
aged and stamped out If possible, by
the Federation of American Motorcy-
clists.

Ethel Smith of Gary who was tank

tertest to the movement.
Marion has a motorcycle club which
has a mem bership of more than fifty
riders of the "two-wheelers" and the
club is opposed to tank riding The
members Of the club have done much
to discourage tank riding" in and
about Marion with the result but little
of it is seen here this season.

the k-riders.
IF a motorcycle Is built for two
passengers" says President Hamilton
then ii is perfectly proper for two
passengers to ride it. There are two
saddles, two seats of handle bars, and
every provision for the comfort OF
both passengers. No one can object
to this any more than they could OBJ
