H. A. Hinshaw, representing

a few days ago making arrange

looks now like Newberg would
i furnish the banner crowd for the
visitors.
The train will arrive in New

will remain over night. The
hours set for visitors are from
8:45 to 10:45 making a tw o-
hours program which will be
none too long time and conse
quently it will be necessary for
people to be on time to the dot if
they get the full benefit o f all that

Dr. Jas. Withycombe. director

The train will probably be

Ganderbones’ Forecast for
Novem ber.
A table and a pitcher,
A tumbler and a stand,
A man in double-breasted clothes,
And music by the band;
A last appeal to reason
A crowd with cheering daft—
Some folks think it’s Bryan
And others think it’s Taft.
In the old Roman calendar No
vember was the ninth month.
Blessings fell early, and the em

first frost; but about 700 B. C.
the trusts left the people so little
t o be thankful for after nine
months that it was decided to
w ait awhile and see if anything
would come of the Roman elec
tions. Numa accordingly made
November the eleventh month
and had Thanksgiving fall with
the first snows, notwithstanding
the month gets its name from the
Latin novem*(mne).
The frisky colt will sniff the air
and hear the whistling quail, the
festive calf will indicate the zenith
with his tail. The frost will
paint the forest with a deep and
redder dye, the hired man will
shuck the corn, the pumpkin vine
will pie, the politicians will hit
Will hold its royal sway,
And everyone will exercise
His liver, anyway.
He’ll pounce it up and down be
tween
His pancreas and gizzard,
And waltz it through his inner
works
From A around to Izzard,
And even though his present race
May prove to be in vain^
He’ll nave the health and strength
to run
Sometime, perhaps, again.
At any rate the candidates will
dash into the stretch, and 'both
Bills-o’-the-Wisp will make them
selves quite hard to k e t c h .
They’ll spurt in spirited response
to many mild arouaers, and tan
the dust up with the slack dow n
hanging from their trousers.
They’ll come in sight exhibiting
a score o f fancy paces, and only
hit the trembling earth in tour or
five high places. The air will
darken with the flight o f gravel,
dirt and sods, and the crowd will
sound its battle cries and give and
offer odds. And Teddy mean
while Will wedge m quite close
beside the track, with something
that he has concealed within a
paper sack, and when his entry
charges down, hot-footen like
the wind, T. R. will hang a hor
nets nest upon him dow n behind.
And then there will be doings on
This agitated sphere—
The earth win 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 o f ice,
And no one will remain to see
Who w on the race for vice.
‘ The election will be hdd on the
3rd, and the trusts will hold an
all-night prayer meeting on the
2nd. Mr. Bryan will cast his
vote for Mr. Taft at Lincoln.
Mr. Taft will return the courtesy
at Cincinnati, and Mr. Rockefel
ler will receive the news at Cleve
land. The quadrennial ass who
wheels another quadrennial ass
through tow n on a wheel
barrow will start from the Post-
office at 10 o ’clock on the morn
ing o f the 4th, followed by 90
boys and the Foolkiller. The
complete returns will be in by
the 15th.
The annual show-down be
tween city and country life will
be complete by the 20th, when
the farmer will have his cellar
stocked with potatoes, turnips,
kraut, honey, nuts, hams, side-
meat, 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 o f hard coal and tw o 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 claimits 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 team 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 o f terjftr in their cacklings,
and the children will refresh their
gums with good, old-fashioned
cracklings.
Mr. Roosevelt's annual procla
mation advancing the price o f
turkey 10 cents a pound will be
issued about 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.
