The Parker post., 1914-01-10


And poets through the Winter gloom
Will sing the somberest of songs.
The calf will burrow in the stack
And watch the snow go sWlrllng by
The wind will whistle through the
crack
And cause the evergreens to sigh,
The hungry hired man will lean
On homemade hominy and souse,
And the plumber in his limousine
Will dash around from house to
house.
The never-tired Roosevelt will wake
the tropics with his yell, and all the
troubled rubber belt will rock and
wobble for a spell. The long-nosed
tapir will describe a high half-cir-
Gle to the stream, the lookout tor
the monkey tribe will fill the forest
with his scream, the crocodile VIII
fill it's chest with tropic air and hit
the bog, the toucan, startled from IT'S
nest, will set the wilderness agog,
the cougar, bounding from it's lair,
will set the eager WOlf-hOund loose,
and the playful parrots everywhere
will jolly him about the Moose.
The income tax collectors foot Will
fall upon the office stair, and all goc
citizenus will be put through back
doorways to get the air. The coun-
try editor will hit his creased pole
standing at the back, the lawyer Will
discreetly fit, with smoke uprising
from his track, the millionaire Wills
hit the street beneath the window
with a groan, the bachelor will wed
the sweet stenographer by telephone,
the grocer, terrified with fear, Will
grab the cash and flee the store, and
the office boy will disappear head
foremost through the cellar door.
The Winter winds will devastate
And render desolute the land,
And Uncle Sam will watch and wait
Beside the raging Rio Grande.
The men in Mexico will shoot
The braid from one another's coats.
The flying poems, destitute,
Will beg and badger us for boats,
The Government will stamp hens
eggs
And call them coin by right of
might.
And Huerta on his last war legs,
Will fix to beat it in the night.
Delevans comet, which induced
the Telephone and Telegraph Trust
to come in and give itself up in De-
cember, will continue it's good work
through January from the southwest
sky. 1t is not visable with the
naked eye, but may be readily seen
through telescope such as all the
trusts have. The comet is operating
from a distance of approximately two
billion miles. 1t does not want to
cause panic. Jupiter, who has been
conducting a vivid display overhead
every night for several months with
out any visible effect on the Huerta
government, will continue to be even
ing star through January, though ev-
erybody else but President Wilson
has about given up. The first 21
days of January will continue under
Goat, the tenth sign of the zodiac.
CapricOrnians have great reserve
power, and will have no need of the
Goat, the tenth sign of the zodiac.
Capricornians have great reserve
power, and will have no need of the
new reserve banks They usually
have their own extra money hidden
are the most resourceful people we
have. Admiral Dewey, Woodrow Will
son, Gladstone, Daniel Webster and
Benjamin Franklin were all born un-
der this sign. The last 10 days of
January will be influenced by Acquar-
ius the Water Bearer, the eleventh
sign. Children born under this sign
are very bright, and invent so many
excuses for being bad that it is al
most impossible to spank them. |
Thomas A. Edison is a typical Aqua
rian. The celebrated schedule K of
the new tariff law became effective
January 1. 1t will make heavy
coat of wool grow on the poor The
prohibition against the manufacture
OF white phosphorus matches also
went into effect. 1t is now safe to
have mice. After January l it will
be illegal under the new Federal reg
ulatiOns to kill a duck anywhere in
the United States until next fall. The
Government is not trying to save
ducks, but to make the duck-shoot- |
