J. 11. Ganderbone's Sept. Forecast. (Copyrighted 15)07 by C. 11. Hiotli.) The old school bell is soon to ring, the poets all raise and sing, the frost will soon displace the dew. and the wind jamb through the peek-a-boo. Untutored youth, with tears of brine, returncth sadly to the mine, and the new schoolina'am prepares to whack the bad boys where their pants are slack. Thee football player lets his hair Fall into autumn unrepair, , And the more athletic college cops Tim students with the largest mops. The moon will be full on the 21st, arid the password for the month will be "Soak Standard Oil." Everybody will run a little harder for President. Mr. Bryan's smoke will continue an interesting spectacle. Mr. Roosevelt will drop a wasp into the hip pocket of Mr. Taft, and that laggard will move up a couple of places in the race. Mr. Fairbanks will continue to pass the grandstand every seven seconds sucking buttermilk with a nipple, out of his pneumatic shirt front. The war with Japan will sleep fretfully, and Uncle Sam will sit by the cradle crooning soft lullabyes and giving paregoric with a funnel. The coming county fair is billed, The big prize hog is corned and swilled The pumpkin that will life the prize Js watched with proud and hopeful eyes, And the family mare to win the pot Is training for the county trot. The autumnal equinox will come in on time on the 24th, and Mr. Ilarrijrnan will absorb all water that falls to use in floating stocks for development of our great natural resources. The Standard Oil Company will place a twenty-year 4 per cent mortgage upon the earth and will pay the $20,400,000 fine imposed by Judge handis. Senator Pieveridgc will end < his honeymoon abroad and return to ' ! the affairs of the Republic, which k will restore that feeling of security. h The summer girl?aomaulic thing! --will homeward come upon the wing, ? and show her neighbors for a week where some man bit her on the cheek. The freckles on her arms (and legs?) ft resemble those on turkey eggs, and I'f the men were only joshing her. Ij The lucky wives of milHonaries j Will put up jam and pickle pears, But the most of us, denied these i boons, t Will pass the winter full of prunes. Some red-hot sealing-wax, alack, will fly down Nancy's tender back, exploring where the flesh is bare, and ! three shrill screams will pierce the \ air. The men, a-washing at the pump, j will haslet) lliither on the jump, but Nancy mid the I'm it o'erturncd, will ' not divulge where she is burned. President Roosevelt, fresh from Oyster Bay, will issue on the 20th a proclamation officially opening tho Oyster season. Turnips and football players will run to tops. White duck T trousers will begin to migrate. A comet will make one-night stands in the ^ northeast sky. The weather and poli ticians will become very agreeable. Nature, which has been in the nude for the outdoor summer painting season, will put on a thin gossamer, and the Corn Huskers Union will promul' gate a new wage scale by which they will got the corn and the farmer the t husks. The boys on Saturday are loose To stain their hands with walnut juice, ? The cider swollen applies drip, The pig squeals for a morning nip, And the billy goat, by Autumn cheer' ed . Lets cool winds frolic with his board. > Summer excursion tourists will ; come home in a chair car with their L skull grass full of carbon mites, the aisle full of braided legs, and the ; saw tooth chair back embossing the name of the railroad on their spines. . The Big Dipper will appear in the i heavens upside down, which will encourage Prohibition to resume his . war paint and extend {be booze . drouth. John Barleycorn will return . to his guns with a Booker Washing. ton lint under both eyes and his , pants lorn, and the Kentucky Colonel will toss in his mint bed while Carrie Nation rides a nightmare through the windows of his boudoir. . The cotton fields with boll and stem ! Are beckoning to dusky men, ! And soon from cotton seed we'll boil , The pure, imported olive oil. The Greeks began their year in September. Our Labor Day was their New Year's Day. They did this s because their families spent th e summer at I lie seashore at considerable i expense, while the men played poker at lionie at even mode expense. 1 This lel'i I lie Greeks badly in (lie hole, and the only way they could got out was to have I lie new year begin September 1st and swear off drinking and smoking at that time. This enabled them to save in September what we save in January, and was a much better plan than ours. iOliecr up, cheer up, the summer's o'er, the piping quail is up at 4, Septeinbr sweet is on the job, and the green corn ripens on the cob. October crisp will soon be here Willi frosty morn and hunter's moon And pumpkin pie, not yet but soon. One Thing Scotch Can't Hoard. 'M'iss Elizabeth Marbury of tli^ board of governors of New York's Woman's club, the Colony, was discussing the question of the club's liquor license. "It is rather a matter of indiffer-1 once to us", she said, "whether we get a license or not. Women, you; know, are not given to drinking. They are too careful of their appearance. They desire to remain slim and1 fresh, and wine, as you know, tends to make us coarse and stale and fat. j "So, if we had a license, I think we should sell little. It would not be with us as with a farmer I once met in Scotland. "Traveling in the Scottish Highlands one summer, I stopped at a farmhouse for a cup of milk, and the view from the door was so lively that I said to the farmer: "Ah, what a superb place to live in !' " 'Ah, what a superb place to live tional Scots, 'it's a' rich; but hoo wad ye like, ma'am to liae to walk Pufteen mile ilka time you wanted a bit glass o' wluiskey?' " 'On, aye,' he answered, inconvenget a demijohn of whisky and keep il in the house?' ''lie shook his head sadly. " ' WHiuskoy.' he said, 'won't keep.' "?Exchange. E. 3HEEHAN Augusta, Ga.
