The Parker post. (Parker, Ariz.) 1910-1918, 1913-08-02

The woods will echo with alarm"
Concerning whittier we are bent,
And crowds will rally from the farms
To push and crowd around the tents.
The perils of a parlous day
Will rise to plague us as they pass,
And the diplomat will stealsaway
With money for his rent and gas.
The summer sun was floating ar
ound about as high as early corn,
and the Bob Whites whistle will
resound across the stubble field at
morn The brain will bubble in the
skull, with steam escaping from the
ears. The weather man will try to
lull the farmers SeaSOnable fears. ,
The rich wheat grower on his truck
will tool his product to the mill, the
hired man will deity duck to spend a
hundred dollar bill, the tourist visit
ing with kings will bring his travels
to a close, and the summer girl will
gather rings on all ten fingers and
her toes.
The festive calf will think of fall
and lightly do the turkey trot, and
the pumpkin vine will drag the ball
across a twenty-acre lot. The bullfrOg
booming in the glade will sound his
ponderous farewell, the farmland loaf
ing in the shade will listen for the
dinner bell, the summer man will
plight his troth to seven maldens
in a night, the ever-enterprising
moth will teach the little moths to
bite, the commonwealth will stand ap
palled at revelations by the way, and
Col. Mulhall will be called a
liar forty times a day.
The heights by statesmen reached
and kept were not attained by telling
all, but mostly while their country
slept with soft gumshoeing in the
hall The ways of politics are vain,
and no one carrying light has ever
found it to his gain to disspate the
shades Of night.
As well as would one turn on the
pintsch in a tunnel on a train,
revealing what ii is cinch will Ordin-
arily obtain. The blushing bride, in
sweet despair for hubby having called
her dear, and the maiden lady red
deued where some drummer bit her
OH the ear. 1t wont do friends; with
CGt the mask we've all good cause
tc be afraid, and a much more char |
table task is keeping up the masqu !
Grade.
At any rate, the tariff bill
and other matters of debate,
Will linger through the summer still |
And help the hills reverberate.
the sugar man will sound laments
That boom and break against the
sky.
And the wool man, from his pasture |
fence,
On Aug. 3, 1882, Columbus sailed !
the first time for America. He sight |
ed land Oct II. He had labor !
troubles on the way over, and lost |
a great deal of time. The Industrial |
Workers of the World, who made up |
a considerable part of his crew I
wanted to throw the Socialists over
board and have the new world to |
themselves, and the Socialists, in
turn wanted to throw the Democrats
and Republicans overheard and keep |
them from discovering where the |
others went Columbus subsequently |
made three other voyages for the
purpose OF bringing the different par
ties over separately. They all got !
here. 1t is customary on Aug. 3
to think of Columbus and the time
he had.
