. - - -I ... I FOR OCTOBER Copyright 1910 by C. H. Rieth OCTOBER 0, T. Roosevelt has come back to the West! Of all the Rough Riders his luck was the best. He rode from'Dakota to San Juan Hill, And he found him the Spaniards he wanted to kill. Shouting, "into 'em Teddy, An' into 'era deep!" And the men of G'flnada' Went down in a heap. He rested his broncho and fed him his fill, and then he rode yelling up Capitol ( Hill. He wasn't expecting or asking a thing, but he landed right in the political ring, shouting "Into 'em. Teddy, and into 'em plump!" and the poor politicians went down in a lump. He watered his pinto and fed him some oats, And then he remounted and hunted for goats. He found him some people that didn't agree With all of his notions, and gave a whoop-pee, Yelling, "Into 'em Teddy, An' into 'em hot!" And he knocked them all into The pittomless bot. He hobbled his charger and gave him some grass, and then he went after someone in his class. He put up a lion with blood in its eye, and he clapped on the spurs with a terrible cry, saying "Into 'im Teddy, an' into 'im hard!" and the lion passed on to his final reward. He breathed his good mustang and looked him around, But further adventure was not to be found. So he pulled up his trousers' and pulled down his vest, And slowly rode back to his olden-time West, Shouting, "Back to 'em Teddy, An' back to 'em proud!" And they gathered about him. And solemly bowed. He rode in his saddle, and rode on his head, and he put all the tenderfeet under the bad. He dashed to the East, and he dashed to the West, and he halted before them, expanding his z'mit, say ing, "Three cheers for Teddy, the pride of the West!" and they took a great pleasure indoi gthe rest. October is from the Latin octo, meaning eight, and it was form erly the eighth month of the year. This brought the football season around at a time when there was grave danger of being suffocated before the ball was even put into play, and there was a great deal of dissatisfaction at the old Greek and Komsn univer sities. A change was frequently talked of, but it remained for Numa Pompiiius, who was one of the early friends of education, to do anything about it, In 713 B. C. he moved October along to its present place in the calandar, and now the quarterback on a football team always says before snapping the ball, Numa, Numa, B. C. Come seven. One, three! After which the rooters, who reached a very high state of pro ficiency in the latter days of Nu ma, recite, Numa, Numa, Boomalooma, Come seven, One. three, B. C. Whoopee! Siwash! or whatever the name of the school is. as you may hear them joing ai'i.v time this month by' following the riot wagon when it : passes. I j Until the 23d. of the month, I October will be under the influ-1 ence of Libra, the Balance, which ; j is the seventh sign of the zodiac, j This will enable everybody run-; ning for office to keep on the fence pretty well as to the real issues of the campaign, but when ; the sun passes out of that con-! stel'ation on the following day they will begin dropping on one side or the other, and it will be, I easier to make out where the j true friends of the people are. j After the 22 J. we will be influ-i . ei:ced by Scorpio, the Scorpion, ' which is almost mepningless now, I but in early times typified the i manner in which the north wind 'stung the old greeks, v, ho were, j in the habit of going until very ' I late in the season without having j on any wear to speak of, either over or under. A bit of fail is as nice a thing As I know any thing about When the pumpkin pie is ripening, I And the time is opportune for kraut. ! When the hunter gets his trappings out, : Awakened by the time of year, And the farmer, furious without, And hot within, begins to shout, "Get ou-u-u-u-u-t of here!" "Get ou-u-u-u-u-t of here dadblame your c-k'n!" Ah! thats the proper thing to sigh When the squirrel gets his goodies in Against the winter by-and-by. When the bending reaches of the sky Are very soft and very near, And the farmer with a watchful eye, Begins to hop around and cry, "Get ou-u-u-u-u-t of here!" Get ou-u-u u-u-t of here you blanky blank!" Ah! that's the season of them ail When winter hangs upon the flank Of the wild goose passing in. the fall. When the plaintive quail begins to call Across the golden fields and sere, And the farmer, bursting i'lom the tall With leaps and bounds, begins to bawl, "Get ou-u-u-u-u-t of here!" The melancholy days will come, and the pheasant will intone his drum upon the sad an drowsy ; wind in the solemn manner of his kind. The booming frog will i i sniff the breeze and fall to dig-1 ' ging on his knees, and the buck- j wheat cake will take a crack at this fool thing of coming back. I tmay be Jeffries and his strain are never quite themselves again, but pickeled pigsfoot and the rest ! are always equal to the test. 1 i They never dissipate a bit, but j spend the summer prime and fit, and let the frost succeed the dew, land the're there, you bet, as ; good as new. The doughty oyster on his i shell, the chitlin looking strong ; and well, and clear and resolute of eye, the hardy brands of win ter pie. The applebutter, juice and flake, the same that mother used to make, and the crackling of our youthful lot the cock and captain of the pot. j The football season will revert, and the center rush will paw the j dirt. He'll wake the natives I with his roar, and bawl for vic tory and gore. The piled up dy ing and the dead will mass against his butting, head, and he'll spin the planet in his rage just like a squirrel in his cage. Alas for those who calmly sit devising to denature it, and all the college renegades who think to temper it for maids! The stu dents and the teachers howl, and j the rooters and the bleachers! yowl, and damned be he whoj does not rise and kill somebody j twice his size. The aeroplanes will cruise the air above the old-time county fair, and the lucky winner will be he who wins the best two falls in three. The farmer in his limousine will tool around iqon the green, and the hind man will seize the chance to wear his oilier pair of pants. The softer weather will defy The blandishments of i line. And the month will give us by-and-by The office-hunter's moon. A chop will cost four bits a pound. And beef a buck a bite, And the wolf will wear a groove around The cabin every night. The 418th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christo pher Columbus will be celebrated on the night of the 14th by the seven Guggenheim brothers. Mr. Roosevelt will be stage manager again this month. The villain will be the Demon Rum. Mr. Bryan will be the father of the stolen child, and Mr. Cannon, who made the password Hell last month, will change it to read Ilell-p! And then November will return With cold and chilly draft, And the wild goose going down the line With Winter biting aft. Ladies We have an unusually at tractive chance for a bright, energetic women, well and favorably known in this community.

A gentleman whoso hearing is de fective is the owner of a dog that is the terror of the neighborhood in which he lives. The other day ho was accosted by a friend, who said : "Good morning. Mr. II. Your wife made a very pleasant call on us last evening." "I'm verv sorry," came the star tling reply. "I'll see that it doesn't occur again, for I'm going t chain her up in future."
