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!"

(V CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.
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.
