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

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.

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,

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

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.
