N ewberg VOL XXI. Ganderbonss’ Foraeut for December was the tenth month in the old Roman year, and gets its name from the Latin decern <10). But with forest fires in the middle of autumn, the Roman Fire Department had no time to put out Christmas trees, and when Numa’s own palace burned hs rearranged the calendar and moved Christmas along to a time when the firemen had nothing else on. The frisky calf will sniff the morn and merrily cavort, and the frost will nip him where his scant upholstering is short. The boys will flock to Sunday school with fine religious fire, the hired man will hang around unworthy o f his hire, the warning goose will hurry south on frantic wings a-rustle, with winter urging him along where Cora wore the bus tle. The melancholy days will come and Boreas will roar; the w olf will thrust his muzzle through the keyhole in the door. He’ll whiff the scent o f bacon bought a t thirty cents a pound, and plain potatoes by the box with tissue wrapped around; and every time we chase him off and bid him to his den, the trusts will pump his stomach out and sic him on again. The water pipes will all explode And give the house a jar; The plumber’s chauffeur will get out The throbbing racing car; But while relief is on the way To plug the gushing spout. The car will have a hemorrhage And blow its innards out. The unemancipated wife will quit her cozy bed and build the fire the while her lord pretends that he is dead. She’ll wrap her self up in her hair and shiver in the dawn, and chop the kindling, bustle coal and turn the damper on; and while she freezes till she turns the hue o f a persimmon, the scientists will wonder why the men outlive the women. Milady’s winter suit will cost A fifty-dollar note, But man will face the blizzard in The same old overcoat. The coolc will gasoline the Are, And the choir, in sweet accord. Will sing on Sunday at the house, “ O, I am coming, Lord!” On the 21st the sun will enter Capricorn and the winter sol stice will occur. This will cause trusts to spawn, and the yule tide will come in. Solstice is from sol (the sun) and sistere (to stand). Thus having touched its turning point south o f the equator, the sun temporarily stands still. This is where Joshua held it up, from which we have our word josh. Anybody can do it. At any rate the 21st will be the shortest day o f the year, and we shall pass under the influence o f Capricorn, the Goat. This is the tenth sign o f the zodiac. It was represented on the ancient monuments as an old man with the body of a goat, which signi fies that during the Christmas season father is the goat. G raphic THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3,1908. NEWBERG, YAM H ILL COUNTY. 0 The house wil/oscillat* with joy, The breakfast will be late, And old John D. will get the earth ’ F or thirty winters straight. Mr. Roosevelt will give a big game dinner at the White House Christmas day. All the big lion hunters o f the world will attend, and there will be a roaring con test, with favors. The pass word for this month is supplied by Kaiser William. Mum is the word. The moon will be full on the 7th, and there will be bad weather around 26 Broadway every day but Sunday. The mistletoe will tempt the maid Beneath the chandelier. The loving swain will halt and start Betwixt his love end fear. And then dash in with beating heart And chew her blushing ear. The birthstonc for December is the onyx. This is because chil dren are onyxpected at a time when the stork has to make his deliveries in a fireless cooker. Then Leap Year will have run its course With little to its merit, And the spinster who has missed her chance Will have to buy a parrot. Portland N otes.
