The old school bell is soon to ring,
the poets all raise and sing, the frost
will soon displace the dew. and the

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

But the most of us, denied these

Some red-hot sealing-wax, alack,

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.

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.
