The old school bell is soon to ring, the poets all arise and sing, the froqt will soon displace the dew, and the wind jamb through the beek a.bo<. Untutored youth with tears of brine, returueth sadly to the mine, the new schoolma'am prepares to whack the bad boys where their pants are slack. Ihe football player lets his hair Fall into Autumn unrepair, And the more athletic college cops The students with their largest mope. The moon will be full on the 21st, and the password for the month will be "Soak Standard Oil." Everybody will run a little harder for president Mr. Bryan's smoke will continue to be an interesting spectacle, Mr. Roosevelt will drop a wasp into the hip pocket of Mr. Taft and that lac gard will move up a couple of places in the race. Mr. Fairbanks will cou - tinue to pass the grand stand every seven seconds sucking,- buttermilk with a nipple out of his pneumatic shirt front. The war with Japau wiil sleep fretfully, and Uncle Sam will sit by the cradle crooning soft lulla. byes and giving paregoric with a fun. nel. The coming county fair is billed, The big prize hog is corned and swilled The pumpkin that will lift the prize Is watched with proud and hopeful eyes, The family mare to win the pot Is training for the county trot. The autumnal equinox niill come in on time on the 24, and Mr. Harri nan will absorb all the water that falls to use in floating stocks for de velopment of our great natural ro - sources. Trhe Standard Oil Company will place a twenty-year 4 per cent mnortgage upon the earth and will pay the $29,400,000 fine nmposed by Judge Laudis, Senator Beveridge will end his honeymoon abroad aiAd return to the affairs of the Republi*, which will restore that feeling of se curity. The summer girl- romantic thingl --will homeward come upon the wing and show her neighbors for a week whg're some man bit her on the cheek. The freciles on her arms (and legs?) resemble those on turkey eggs, and the neighborhood will bet ten per the snen were only joshing her. The lucky wives of millionaires Will put up jam and pickle pears, Buit most of us, denied these bo:>ns, Will pass the winter full of prunes Some red-hot sealing-wax alack, will fly down Nancy's tender back, ex ploring where the flesh is bare, and three shrill screams will pierce the air. Thbe men awashing at the pump will hasten thither on the jump, but Nancy, mid the fruit o'erturned, wi'l not divulge where she is burned. President Roosevelt, fresh from Oyster Bay, will issue on the 20th a proclamation oflicially opening the oyster season. Turnips and football players will run to tops. White duck trousers will begin to mic rate. A comet will make one-night stands in the niorthi-east sky. Theli weather and p~oliticians will become very agreeable. Nature, which has been Iu the nude for the outdoor summer p'aintinr reason, will put on a thin! g -mer noid the Orn Hnsker's UnI son I rougate' a new wage sc ale by which they will get the corn and the farmer the husks.

The E Big Dipper will appear in the heav ens upside down will encourage Pro. . hibition to resume his war paint and ext, nd the booze drouth. John Bar- c leycorn will return to his guns with a Booker Washington tint under both eies and his pants torn, and the Kentucky Colonel will toss in his mint bed while Carrie Nations rides a night-mare through the window of his boudoir. The cotton field with boll and stem Are beckoning to dusky men, And soon from cotton seeds we'll boil The pure imported olive oil. The Greeks begin their year in Septem bi-r. Our Labor Day was their New Year't- Day. They did this because their families apent the Summer at the seashore at considerable expense, while the men played poker at home, at more expense. This left the t Greeks badly in the hole, and the on- c ly way they could get out was to have the new year begin September 1st and swear off drinking and smok ing at that tiene. This enabled them to save in September what we save io January, and was a much better plain than ours. Cheer up, cheer up, the suummer's o'er, the piping quail is up at four, September sweet is on the job, iuo lie green corn ripens on the cob. October crisp will soon be hero With softly-falling leaf and sere, With frosty morn and hunter' m111oon Ar d pumpkin pie, not yet but soon.

The most remarkable of all the ex- e tinct teline anim1als are those kniown i: to naturailists as the saber toothed ( cats or tigers, a group comprwising the ii greateor part ~ of all the fossil forms. 'IlTey date back to the earliest times~ of whleh we kniowv anything abomut the fatnhly in Nortiil Amnerica and reach down to the tInie of mani himself.

The lower jaws C have a dlownward1 projection in front, a due to a fhingelike widening of the jalwhonies, w~ihl dou~btless served as a protection to thle teeth, preventing their lujury or loss. In seome of the larger formns from South Americn this flange was not piresenit, while the canine teeth were even more elongated than is the case with tis speries, attainling a lengi h of over bi in~ch.s and~ pro0 trudinlg far below the jaws wheu closed. A Flight of Erratio Metaphor. It 'was in a pol1iCe court in India.

Precedence, always a ticklish mat ter, is doubly ticklish where an ori ental nation is concerned. When George IV. was regent there was a terrible to-do at court because the Persian ambassador claimed prece denee over all the other ainbassa dors. This not being allowed, he refused to go to court at all. Tit for tat, he was informed that he would not be received at Carlton House, neither would the ministers receive his visits. Sackcloth and ashes at the Persian embassy. Soon afterward the prince regent met the shah's representative at Lord Salis bury's. "Ali, I hope you are bet ter,' he said diplomatically. "Oh. sir, I am very well," was the answer, "but I am sorry that I offended your royal highness by not going to court." And he explained how it had all come about. "Now, sir," the ambassador went on, "my sovereign, he tell mae to go first, and your congress, about which I know nothing, say I must go last. Now, sir, this very bad for me when I go back to Persia." And I he pointed with dismal significance to his head. "Well, my good friend, never mind it now. It does not sig nify," said the regent, with that cheerfulness natural to a man who has not a sovereign waiting to nip off his head. "Oh, yes, sir," protest ed the Persian, "but your royal highness is still angry with ne, and you have not invited me to your party tomorrow night." The re gent laughed ieartily, saying, "As a matter of fact. I was only going to have a few children to dance, but if you would like to comae I shall be glad to see you." And the wise man of the east (lid go and wrote, v'astly proud, to his sovereign that lie had gone to the ail, the only amlbssa- a dor invited.

P "Who conies there?" shouted the c sentry at the top of his voice, and every man in barracks jumped up and .a seizied his arms. In a mnoment there was dead silence, the men eagerly lis teninug to know what was to follow. "Who comes there?" again the sen try shouted. And a small voice outside the gate repliied. "If ye plaze, Misthier Sintry, wvill ye ask th'~ gintlemnan to sing that once again?2" "Tme indignant sentry's reply," says Colonel Rlobertson in his reminiscences of soldierinig, "wast drowned in the shouts of merriment from my men."
