If you want to see your friends on postal cards just call in and get them. C. C. S M I T H Forecast for i S I The calendar w ill change with the usual wakes for the old jt a r and greetings for the new. M ost o f us will immediately date our correspondence 1009, but forget ful people like Mr. Archibold and Mr. Rockefeller will continue dat ing checks 1908. The old year will be little mourned by Democrats and cold ly greeted by lions. It will find the peace tribunal at The Hague closed and the house staff attend ing the wars in Venezuela, Hayti, W ashington and Mrs. Nation's address in Scotland. The end o f Leap Y ear will provoke Fsw bachelor regrets. And the stork will step up like a man And pay his baby beta. The Roosevelt regime will make Its plana to g o a-gunning, And Hons, hippos, and giraffes W ill practice up at running. The Romans tried to make March the first month o f the year, but after hall o f the Irish had frozen to death trying to march on the 17th, Numa re-arranged the calendar asa merciful conces sion to that valuable colony. January was one of the months devised for that occasion. It was named lor Janns, whom the Romans called “ the porter o f Heaveq.” _ He opened and closed Heaven, kept it nicely dusted, made up the berths, and whenever he caught a man in there w ho was not keeping his newspaper subscription paid up, he chased him into the smoker. No other month is so appro priately named as this, for Janns was regarded by the ancients as the beginning and the end o f all things. He is tamous tor having had a second face on the back o f his head,and resembled Mr. Har- ritnan com ing and Mr. Lawson going. His temple at Rome was historic. When the empire was at war its gates were throw n open, and in peace they were closed. This continued until the time o f Augustus, who is said by Prof. Ferrero to have been the prototype o f Mr. Roosevelt. At any rate, Augustus cast the gates o f the temple into the Tiber and made it a prison tor liars, m olly coddles, couples without children, editors, congressmen, nature fakers, rich malefactors, religious bigots, reactionaries and undesir able citizens. TBe row between the Preeident - And Cottgreea will become The hottest thing since David smashed G oliath's cerebrum. The outraged House will pew the earth. The Senate will g et flip, The President will rob his fist Against its upper Up, The air will be a mass o f fur, „ And ripping sxpietives, And the timid Congreeeman will ran From there to "where he lives. The air will pulsate with the roar o f bitter verbal shot, the sports will bet on whether Ted will take it back or not. the old men wi*l get on the roof and utter their defies, the President will show his teeth and bulletin the lies, a special message now and then will heighten the hnb-bub, and a dozen men a day will join the Ananias Club. The Congressman will blister Ted, «And be will soak them back, The Senate will put in a punch And gat a counter smack. They’ll say some ugly things tfc him. And ha will bswl them out,. : > The dignity o f government Will dance, kl-yi and shout. The old Potomac will become 'MR A raging sea o f foam. The public servant’ s fam ily W ill bag him to come home, The sldndee w ill divert the world By reason o f its bant, And Loeb will let it ran s while, aim ! then r— m 1 for the fleet. After that we shall have T aft weather, with cooler relations at Washington. Cabinet selections will be announced on Tuesdays and Fridays. The rich will g o to the winter resorts, and eggs will g o to forty cents. The new sign otth e zodiac will be Aquarius, the water carrier, whose influence will begin on the 20th. This will enable any one who has kept on the water wagon from the 1st to remain p e r m a n e n tly seated. Persons born under Aquarius vote dry. They have bad mem ories, and rise to confidential po sitions with trusts. They .are also very knowing, bnt they don’ t know when prosperity will return. The moon will be tall onthe6th and Mercury will become even ing star on the 26th. Mr. Rocke feller will reach his Southernmost declination on the 20th, when he will turn up a t Atlanta, Ga., tor the mid winter g olf solstice. G olf takes his mind off the danger o f the oil giving out. The Wrights will temporarily give w ay to the price o f butter, which will stay up until spring. The favorite sport ot the month will be pie-hnnting. Mrs. Nation will carry the war into London and will show the suffragettes how to get locked up in the Tower. Our absent fleet will m ike Suex, continuing its Dutn, And tilings in A frica will think That Roosevelt has come. There’ll be s stampede to the South, And many trembling lips W ill pass the word that he’s arrived W ith sixteen battleships. And then brief February o f the groundhog will be due, and we’ll discover pretty quick if he’saHar, too. b r U m Yam hill O m u m t O o a m i . M eH laevtlte.
