THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1908. - t t t - With the Toast and Tea! i . The amber beams were flitting From the forest newly hewn My love and I were sitting In the waning light alone. I told her of my passion, And the hope I had at stake; She said that I was dreaming Ah, let me never wake! The mellow glow grew dimmer; I clasped her hand In mine; The stars began to glimmer Above the drowsy pine. I said their beams were shining The brighter for her sake; She told me I was dreaming Ah, let me never wake! I felt her fingers tremble; Shy teardrops I could see; Her heart could not dissemble The love she bore for me I whispered: "Were you faithless, Sweetheart, my heart would break; If loving Is but dreaming Ah, let me never wake!" ANON. "I had a fall last night which rendered me unconscious for several "hours," remarked Harry Skinner at the Millicoma last evening." "Is that so?" asked his friend Otto Schetter, "where did you fall?" "I fell asleep," said Harry and then they adjourned to the library where Otto displayed one of his fa vorite books. FORECAST FOR NOVEMBER. A table and a pitcher, A tumbler and a stand, A man in double-breasted clothes, And music by the baud; A last appeal to reason, A crowd with cheering daft Some folks think it's Bryan, And others think it's Taft. A speaker on a Pullman, A little pantomlne, A hasty diagnosis of The perils of our time; A farewell and a promise, A benediction aft Some folks think it's Bryan, And others think it's Taft. A man with twenty dollars, Another man with ten, A swift exchange of challenges, And two excited men; A show-down and a wager, A banknote and a draft Some folks think it's Bryan, And others think it's Taft. A homestretch and a tumult, A spyglass and a shout, A feverish excitement while They try to make them out; A Hying dust cloud leading, A second cloud abaft Some folks think It's Bryan, And others think It's Taft. r In the old Roman calender Novem ber was the ninth month. Blessings fell early, and the empire gave thanks just before the first frost; but about 700 B. C. the trusts loft the people so little to bo thankful for after nine months that it was decid ed to wait a while and bee if anything would come of the Roman elections. Nuina accordingly made November the eleventh month and had Thanks giving fall with tho first snows, not withstanding the month gets its name from tho Latin novem (nine). The frisky colt will sniff tho air and hear tho whistling quail, and tho festive calf will indicato the zenith with his tail. The frost will paint tho forest with a deep and redder dye, the hired man will shuck the corn, the pumpkin vino will plo, tho politicians will hit up their office-holding fetid, and tho modest maplo treo will blush and como out In the nude, And then the presidential race Will hold Its royal swny, And everyone will exerclso Ills liver, anyway. IIo'll bounco It up and down between Ills pancreas and gizzard, And waltz It through hia-inner works From A around to Izzard, And oven though his present raco Mny provo to ho In vain, IIo'll have tho health and strength to run Sometime, porhaps, again. At any rate tho Candida tea will dash Into tho stretch, and both Bills-o'-tho-Wisp will inako thonisolves (julto hard to ketch. They'll hpurt In spirited response to many wild nrousera. and fun the duM up with tho slack downhaiiKlnjs from their trmmei'8. They'll come in sight ex hibiting a coi of fanoy paeon, and only hit thu troinhllng oiirth In four or live high places. Tho air will dnrkon with tho flight of gravel, dirts and sods, and the crowd will sound Its battle cries and give and offer odds. And Teddy meanwhile will wedge in quite close beside the track, with something that he has concealed within a paper sack, and when his entry charges down, hot footing like the wind, T. R. will hang a hornet nest upon him down behind. And then there will be doings on This agitated sphere The earth will pitch and buck to beat A frenzied Texas steer. The sun will spin around and round And blow up once or twice, The moon will turn a very dark And bloody ball of ice, And no one will remain to see Who won the race for vice. The election will be held on the 3d, and the trusts will hold an all night prayer meeting on the 2d. Mr. Bryan will cast his vote for Mr. Taft at Lincoln. Mr. Taft will return the courtesy at Cincinnati, and Mr. Rockefeller will receive the news at Cleveland. The quadrennial ass who wheels another quadrennial ass through town on a wheelbarrow will start from the Postofllce at 10 o'clock on the morning of the 4th, followed by 90 boys and the Fool killer. The complete returns will be in by the 15th. The annual show-down between city and country life will be com plete by the 20th, when the farmer will have his cellar stocked with po tatoes, turnips, kraut, honey, nuts, hams, sidemeat, souse, popcorn, pickles, pigs' feet, applebutter, lard, sweet potatoes and sorghum, and the city man will enter the winter with his cellar stocked with ten tons of hard coal and two gas meters. The man who made election bets, Relying on his knowledge, Will write a sad note to his son, Withdrawing him from college. The football season will wind up, The class room claim its braves, And the faculty will order .flowers And decorate the graves. A double fleece-lined coat of hair will come in style for dogs, and the farmer will put on the pot and kill his fattened hogs. The air will teem with shots and squeals and sundry flavors sweet, the good housewife will render lard and scrape and pickle feet, the spared old hens will get a note of terror in their cack lings, and the children will refresh their turns with good old-fashioned cracklings. Mr. Roosevelt's annual procloma tion advancing the price of turkey 10 cents a pound will be issued the middle of the month. He will urge us to give thanks that 55,000,000 cubic feet of earth were excavated at Panama in October. The sad-faced gobbler will address His young and tearful flock, And clip for memory's sweet sake A small and tear-stained lock, And then, with many sighs, will lay His head upon the block. Until the 25th November will be under tho zodiacal sign of Scorpio. People born In Scorpio are cross at supper, and It is better, If possible, to be born after the 25th, when the mouth is under the sign of Sagltu rius tho Archer. Sagitarius people aie only cross at breakfast, when everybody is. The flower for November is the chrysanthemum, which signifies that Japan received our fleet without starting anything. The moon will be full on the Sth. Along about tho 29th Tho Duke of the Abrnzzl Will get It all fixed up that ho Shall wed his tootsey-wootsoy; And Elklns pero will dance a jig And dream of wedding cake, While everybody else makes bets On whether it will take. And then December will blow In with cold and Christmas glee, and old King Coal, tho merry soul, wl'l thunder out, "Pay me!" NEW ENGLAND SUPPER O SATURDAY NIGHT. Commencing at 5 O'clock. MENU.

Each recurring attack of rheuma tism makes the disease harder to control, but the fact that it is not in itself dangerous causes people to neglect it, awaiting a change or a settled condition of the weather for relief. It is often only after the dis ease has become so serious as to in terfere with business that the suf ferer will seek more than temporary relief. Chamberlain's Liniment is a remedy for rheumatism which any one can apply. It not only gives prompt relief from pain, but In a largo majority of cases if brings about permanent results. The first application will surprise and delight you as immediate relief is almost suro to follow. For sale by JOHN PREUSS. tt-tt-K-K-tt-tt-tt-tt-tt-a-K-tt-a-l AUG. FRIZEEN V ?
