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.

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.
