B 5 íi!ü i-Í4 ü -a N ewberg NEWBERG, YAMHILL Forecast for Now, Taft was enjoying An teroplanc flight. And skimming around Like the man-swallow Wright, When who should appear, Holding fast to bis hat And sailing the sky, But the man from the Platte. Said fat Bill to Platte Bill, “ Now isn’t this great?” Said Bryan, “ You bet— Is myTudder on straight?” And the wind coming up fluster, With a slight show of bl They both skidded ofl Through the air belly buster. And while they were flying About a mile high, The Roosevelt entry . Emitted a cry; And Bryan supposing He'd dropped from the race, Slowed up with a horrified L ook in his lace. i B ut Tatt was just floating— “ My m otor’s gone out! Now, hand me a match When you next come about!” But Bryan just laughed, Andhesaid, “ My dear speeder, Remember that I Am the great matchless leader. ’ ’ October is from the latin octo, meaning eight. It was the eighth month o f the old Roman calen dar. This brought oysters in at the end o f August, when they had to be candled like eggs, and the oyster trust always cornered the supply in cold storage. But Rome, like every other nation, had a reformer not too often for reasonable profits in business, and when Numa Pompilius came into power in 713 B.' C. he made •October the tenth month and busted the oyster trust. He was idolised bv a grateful populace, and was only relinquished to pri vate life in his later days that he might gratify his desire to hunt big game in Afriea. . The presidential race will reach Three quarters o f a mile, And both the Bills will hit it up In good old fashioned style. The Platte will shake his big brogans And put up dust and dirt. The giant Taft will grunt and sweat And rip his undershirt, The plaudits o f the multitude Will rise in mighty peals, And the watchful Teddy Bear will nip A t William Howard’s heels. The pink mudguards o f Sunny Jim will catch the frost descend ing, and turn the fine autumnal red, with the burning sumac blending; the frost will thin out Mr. Kern’s elaborate chin thicket, and each ot these hair-bearing tails will go some on his ticket. The frost will paint the sassa- Trass a deep and glowing red, and the farm hand will resume his howl tor blankets on his bed. The plant exuded phosphorus will gossamer the air, the stifi rheumatic will put on his wind- proof underwear, the southward moving ducks will quack upon the reeded lakes, and the man will line himself inside with but tered flannel cakes. The woman will parade be neath the big sky-scraper hats, and guy lines strung to steady them will anchor in their rats; and every time the wind blows brisk, with many screams and squeals, they’ll all turn turtle and will fan the azure with their heels. The camper will unto the woods To live the life o f Crusoe And the quail will balance on a rail And whistle like Caruso. The poor hay fever patient will return from his retreat, and every time his nose goes off and honks upon the street, we’ll scramble for the nearest curb as fast as we can dart, believing that his lusty sneeze is some skidoodle cart. The candidate will press his suit and tell his little jokes while he is handing out cigars they name for famous folks; and not withstanding all the harm this sort ot smoke has done uS, we’ll all waltz up and try again his deadly Mrs. Gunness. After the 26th October will be under the zodiacal sign Scorpio the crustacean. Persons born in Scorpio are lobsters, and are mostly actors and baseball play ers. They have remarkable fore sight. Among other things they can tell when the hired girl is g o ing to quit, and always give her notice first. The armored football player will cavort in padded pants and butt to beat a billy goa t while frenzied thousands dance. He’ll cut the foe with glass hid in his Paderewski mop, and when they pile on sacks he’ll do a war dance on the top. The college men will all get up and yell like Kingdom Come, the college girls will swal low six or seven gobs o f gum, the antumn sun will be obscured by colors, horns and hats, the catapulting end will cave the other fellow’s slats, the giant cen ters will collide like tw o excur sion trains, the guards will paw the earth and scramble one an other’s brains; and when the am bulance drives up, with great vo ciferation the howling mob will give three cheers for higher edu cation. The fin t frost ripened hickory nuts Will rattle to the ground, And local option will put on The blower all around. The hunter’s moon will sail the sky, The bee will duck the clover, And the other Wright in France will * knock The Eeffel Tower over. The flower for October is the hop. This signifies that the fates are against prohibition in one month o f the year, anyway. Our gad-abouting fleet will throw a scare into Japan, and shell the Chinese coast until they tell the age ot Ann; aqd old John Rockefeller w ilf observe October nine, with a big barn dance at ForestHill and unfermented wine, the third month since he’s had to make a payment on that fine. And then November 3rd will come, When all o f us shall vote. And one o f these two Bills will have To be the Billy goat. College Opening. G raphic )Nf THUB8DAY, OCTOBER 1.1908. Preston Mills M. M.
