of the year, but Numa, who was run
ming for third term, refused to issue
the regular THANKSGIVING proclama-
tion until he knew how he was coming

the one and two-termers got together,
and the day was celebrated over his
head.
a fond farewell, thou lovely fall, the
winter days are coming. The ivy rat
ties on the wall, and the flowers are
succumbing. The wild goose wedges
down the sky, with Boreas TO bite hSn.
and the bull moose sounds his thrill

cold duckshoOter in the face The
pneumocOccus will devise a few wet

will arise and calmly massacre a coot.

the bold quail hunter on his manse.
and having deftly worked him thru a
