LATE IN AUGUST.

LATE IN AUGUST.
Late in August when the boughs of
the apple trees are weighted;
When the small boy eats his fill. and
his pockets are all freighted;
When the fruit comes planging down,
as the breeze the branches toss,
Well we know what this portends,
IT'S the time for apple sauce.
Late in August, when the sun on the
road shines warm and yellow,
Where the dust all sifted fine tempts
the small bare-footed fellow;
When the sun shines on the fields
with all the power that 1t can
summon,
Well know what this portends
We have some watermelons comm
Late in August, when the sun on the
garden slope is resting;
When the corn gets tassled out, and
the blades look interesting;
When the beam is bullying In the pod,
then guessing is not rash;
For well know what this portends,
IT'S time for succotash.
Late in August, when the grass and
weeds are all alive with hop
pers,
When butterflies make the garden
gay, and all the fish we catch
are whoppers;
When the mercury has climbed to its
highest figures
Used to be when was small,
Then the time was ripe for chiggers
Late in August when the days short
en- up and life looks sunny;
When among the flowers the beef
reap their bumper crop o.
honey;
When the borders of the walks flame
with summer phlox and asters
Then know the time is ripe
'Tis the season of mud plasters.
te in August, when the trees reel
with fuzzy caterpilIars;
When the tree toad pipes his lay
and we swat the big moth mill
ers;
When the insistent katydid argues OIL
in tones contrary
Then we know the time is ripe
To buy school shoes for John an,
Mary.
