The Parker post., 1912-11-23


the landlords had always been fair,
it could not have happened.
Alack for Fall! 1t could not last,
SO wondrous was it's beauty
1t fingered here while and passed, I
According to it's duty.
The more enduring sweets of life
Are always rendered tasty
For being scattered through the strife
Like raisins in the pastry.
The Greeks of Winter will advance
upon the Turks of Summer, and .
each succeeding circumstance will
make the season GUNNER. The fierce
Bulgarians of snow will slay the Mos
lem weather, and the valiant hired
man will sew six pairs of pants to-
gether
Beware when wintertime appears,
and keep the furnace blowing, the
ear-muffs handy to the ears, and the

waiteth to devour the first bank roll
that hollers, and a little matter of
an hour will cost eleven dollars.
The hungry wolf will venture out
to sing of beer and skittles, and /
make prophecy about the paucity
of victuals. He'll cite the present
plight of man, when eggs are worth
nickle, and laugh to think OF
when we can not even buy pickle.
The Democrats have swept the earth,
But it didn't help the chickens.
If eggs persist at what they're worth,
1t means the very dickens.
We need that reform at once,
And leaving us this menace,
For all it's legislative stunts,
The party's name is Dennis.
A greater task than tariff cuts is
that which touches chickens. We're
feeding them on cocoanllts, and still
the problem thickenS. A hen is lay
ing no more food than if she were a |
grackle, and the greater number seem
imbued to do no more than cackle.
Will some great statesman kindly
say just what we aught to feed them.
We miss the eggs they use to lay,
and ptifully need them. fig for
plunder-bunders loosed, and all our
Iheorzing, let's have that omelet we
used to gobble on arising!
The 21st of December will be the
shortest day OF the year. On that
date the sun will cross the Tropic OF
Capricorn. Santa Claus will kick the
goal, and the ball will be returned to
father on his 25-yard line. He will |
be downed in his tracks, and while |
the whole family sits on him the
butcher, the baker and the candle
stick maker will take turns making
touchdowns until the police interfere.
O Santa Claus, dear Santa Claus,
What can we get for father?
We had no trouble finding Mas
But this is such a bother.
We've hung around the 10-cent
stores
For seven mornings steady,
And they haven't anything of yours
He hasn't had already
Our Mr.. Morgan will advance his |
usual invention, and hanging up his
Sunday pants, command the chief at
tention. He'll work funnel on his /
stack wide-spreading as the nation,
and in the outcome have no lack OF
cause for celebration.
The wealth of Croesus will des-
cend with all the noise of thunder,
and his pants legs, knotted at the
end, will hold lot of plunder. Some
lesser stockings pinned about will
marvel at the clatter, but doing in
the end without, will know what |
was the matter
After the 21St, December will be |
under the influence of Capricornus
the Goat, who succeeds Sagittarius
the Archer on that day The differ
ence between people born under Sag
ittarius and those born under Capri
there is between most people be |
fore and after Christmas The Sag
ittarians are disposed to caution and |
instructive suspicion of ulterior de
sign, whereas the Capricornians are
very trustful and unsuspecting They
