GANDERBONE'S FORECAST
OCTOBER.
A scene at Armageddon,
A warrior in tin,
And every now and then a shout
Emerging from the din.
Some folks fancy Woodrow,
And others fancy Bill,
And others still for Theodore
Are very hopeful still,
A table and a pitcher,
A speaker on his perch,
"And here there someone asleep,
The same as in church.
."The miracle of party,
And the perfidy of .doubt, .
With the usual statistics
Till the watchman puts him o--t.
A woman with a banner,
Another with a drum,
And another with a curtain pole
Revolving on her thumb.
Some folks say it's nothing,
jiut others thinks it is,
And like as not it won't be long
Till man is getting his.
The bull moose and the donkey,
The elephant, the zoo,
The trusts against the people,
And the false against the true;
But do not get excited,
Or take it very hard.
For thy'll all lie down together
In the sweet barnyard.

COLTS EASY PREY
FOR BEAVER MEN
PORTLAND, Sept. 30. (Special)
The Beavers easiiy disposed of the
Colts today in a game to determine
which team was stronger. The score
was 6 to 1. The Coast leaguers used
two pitchers Harkness and Higgin
botham, the former retiring voluntar
ily after letting the Colts down with
three scattered hits in five innings.
The Colts called in three, Easterly,
Doty and then Southpaw Callahan.
When Eastley departed after the first
two men up in the sixth inning had
hit safely, the score stood 3 to 1.
Doty might have unloaded his heri
tage without further humiliation had
not Coltrin, Cruikshank and McDow
ell mussed up succeeding chances.
Higgingbotham, who finished for
the Beavers, proved invincible ' and
Callahan, the side-winder, who reliev
ed Doty in the eighth also closed
strong, although touched up for anoth
er tally on a walk, a stolen base and
Doan's single.

It would as probably avail
To catch the acrobatic calf
And tie a brick upon his tail.

And lowering his playful head,
His rear appendage still uprose,
Though weighted with a keg of lead
You can't restrain the joy of Fall
that palpitates in living things, nor
hope to dissipate the thrall in which
a poetaster ' sings. The calf will
kick and buck around, the colt will
cut a few high jinks, and the poet's
zither will resound, despite wha)f

The better quality of air
Will speed; the presidental race,
And a cockleburr placed here and

Will help accelerate the pace.
The trouble earth will gently sway
Beneath the violent attack,
And the trusts will hustle corn and

Along the fence inside the track.
Deacon Carter's
Goat
By M. QUAD "
Copyright. 1912, by Associated Lit
erary Press. '
When Deacon Carter's widowed
daughter died she bequeathed him a
goat. It was brought home and made
to understand that its future lines
were to be cast in pleasant places. It
was given the run of the yard, and for
three days its attitude elicited sympa
thy and commendation. It really shed
tears over the mistress and the home
It had lost, and then it braced up and
became playful.
The deacon had a tomato patch, and
he went out one morning to pick two
or three tomatoes to go with his break
fast. As he gathered them there was
a concussion, and it was ten minutes
later when ' his wife came out and
fc'hnd him just coming to himself
again. ,
"W-what is it, Jeptha?" she gasped.
"The the goat!"
"What about him?"
"Came on the run and struck me with
his head!"
"But I don't see how he"
But she did see. The goat came
bounding on like a cyclone and bowled
her over and over until she struck the
row of sunflowers. The deacon got
hold of a bean pole and kept the goat
off, and they got into the house, lamed
in every Joint This was the outbreak.
It was the end of the goat's serenity.
Men had to be called to help tie him
tip, and those who hadn't looked upon
him before now came to gaze. Nobody
wished the animal ill. On the contrary,
it was generally held that -grief had
driven him to desperation. The deacon
was advised to sit up all night and
watch to see that Billy didn't commit
suicide by hanging.
Two days passed quietly, but on the
evening of the second the goat quietly
slipped, his collar and set out to see the
sights of Romeo. While ranging around
he encountered six different persons on
their way to prayer meeting. He took
them in as fast as he came to them.
Some went rolling into the ditch and
some against- the fence, but all under
went the same sensation. They thought
a tree had fallen on them.
Even a good man can't escape conse
quences if he Is the owner of a butting
goat. Next day six limping people
wanted to know what Deacon Carter
was going to do about it. Like the
square man that he was, be offered
them $3 apiece and made settlements. '
"If it wasn't that ' I had promised
Hanner on her dying bed" he said to
his wife as the last victim limped away.
"I know I know, deacon," was the
reply.
"We'll have to keep him."
"We will."
"Durn his hide!"
"S-s-s-h! : There he stands in the"
door!"
That night the goat was shut up in
the barn, but there was a window
through which he jumped, taking the
sash and glass with him. Mr. Griggs,
the grocer, had locked up and was on
his way home when some white object
flashed before his eyes and he knew
no more for half an hour. The sexton
of the Baptist church has spent two
hours sweeping and dusting, and had
started for his fireside with his hands
clasped under coatfails. He went down
like ripe barley before the sickle.
Abraham Davis, the undertaker, was
taking a little walk before going to bed,
or had stepped outside the gate to take
one, when he went down with a crash
and was out of range of the wireless
for ten minnrps. Thpn hp prpnt tntn tha I

his wife with a sigh.
"But think of Hanner looking down
from heaven!"
"Then we'll give him away to some
good family."
"And Hanner's ghost will haunt us!"
- The goat was chained up, and for
two days he was a quiet, reflective ani
mal. He stood most of the time with
half closed eyes, as if seeing his past
and hoping to see his future.
Then Sunday came, and the people
gathered at the church. The goat
worked some sort of hocus pocus on
that chain and was once more at lib
erty. The doors of the churches stood
wide open, as if inviting goats to en
ter withjthe sheep, and this goat enter

three minutes he had driven out the

from the fence, with clubs and rocks

Portugal's Colonies.

oceans to Africa, India and the new

any magnitude. In India are little

, A TVst For Eyesight
An interesting test for eyesight may
be had by observing Ursa Major the
Great Bear on a clear starlit night.
Not every one is aware that Mizar, the
second star in the constellation, is a
aouoie star. To observe this doublet
demands good vision. Some starry
night look up to the sky and see if you
can rest content in the knowledge that
your eyesight is not defective. '
Hearttofieaft
Talks
By EDWIN A.. NYE.
WE AR.E BEING MADE.
In one of George Macdonald's books
there is this fragment of conversation:
"I wonder why God made me," said
Mrs. Fabur bitterly. "I'm sure I don't
know where is the use of making me."
"Perhaps not much yet" replied Dor
othy, "but then he isn't done with you
yet He is making you now, "and you
don't like it" . ' -'-'.'
Dorothy's philosophy, could we get it
deep into our "hearts, would greatly
help us. ,-
We must learn the lesson that . the
problem of this life is Dot In escaping
hard and painful things, but rather in
getting out of such experiences a res
ignation which should make the heart
gentle and the life sweet
We must learn that we are not made,
but only in the process of making.
Therefore we ought not to complain
at the strokes of the chisel that is fash
ioning us.
A recent writer tells the legend of
"The Complaining Diamond." The
rough stone cries out under the blows
of the lapidary: '"I cannot understand
Why should I suffer in this way?" The
lapidary replies, "Wait:' what thou
knowest not now thou shalt know here
after" And outTbf all this came the famous
Kobinoor to sparkle in the 'monarch's
crown. ' , "
The Master .of Life holds the mallet
and he clips away what is necessary to
grave his own features on the stubborn
stone. We feel only the sharp edge of
the chisel. -
Even God (let us say It reverently)
cannot make character in a day.
We complain of his slow making of
ns because we forget it takes time and
much fashioning for the finished work.
The young man makes a failure. He
cannot see that it may be the making
of him. One may succeed too easily
and quickly. One may fail to learn his
limitations, or to know the world as it
is, or his work.
Ail who have succeeded Dermanentlv
have suffered the blows, the grindings,
the polishing which the Kohinoor had
to undergo.
We are being made.
And to all of us there is the teachine
of Dorothy's philosophy and the com
plaining diamond. We who are older
bear upon our cheeks and brows the
marks of the chisel. Sometimes the
strokes were delicate and sometimes
sharp. They were needed to make us
what we are.'
It is God's slow process.
What we may be doth not yet ap
pear, but we know that the hand of
the Artist and the pattern are Divine.
