in a happy valley and prepares to do
business, it finds to its disgust that the
strawberry beds have been taken in and
wooden muflers have been tied around
the cucumber vines. He maps out the
probable course Of the high pressure area
and sends the glad tidings ahead in or
der that the summer picnic and the
Chautauqua may get in their deadly
work. He does business with telegraph
sounder in one hand and a map of the
country IN the other, and so long as a
storm stays on the track and does not
lose time on heavy upgrade or switch
of into Oklahoma at junction point, he
can prOphesy tomorrOw's temperature
within two degrees.
People make fun of the weather OBJ

jeering citizens always carry their UNI
brellas when he puts out the fair wealth

the cattle and freeze up the combs of
the ROSTERS and hens, that worry the

mules in their stables, the pigs in their

sprites with the collie and carry despair
to the workingman's fat, the wild rag
ing blizzard that chills a mans gizzard
they all come a-whooping from Medicine

that the weather Is fixing for ruetions,
preparing a storm, they cry: Julius
Caesar! The square-headed geezer who's
running the climate should try to re-

so expensive that none can keep warm

The mournful requiem:

Burst into joyous white

And cries, as well il might:

In rusty sheen appears
And Weeps in dOleful accents
That fills all eyes with tears:
Farewell,

Farewell,
Bailey
The cattle on a thousand
Sand hills. with bodies bowed
Beneath the weight OF parting,
In sorrow bawl aloud:
Farewell,
Bailey
The well known gila monster,
The horned toad, no less known,
ConJoined in common sorrow,
Send forth the dismal moan:
Farewell,
Bailey
The fierce and frigid norther.
A breezy Texan breeze
That swept the whole Panhandle,
Now whispers through the trees.
Farewell,
Bailey"
From Hellville clean to Haysoos
There is a mOurnful mob
TeetOtally unable
To do a thing but sob:
