GANDERBONE 'S JUNE FORECAST (Copyrighted 1008, by C. H. Ricth.) It was the seventeenth of June, And great was the convention? The vote was coming pretty soon, And thrilling was the tension. "Alabama!" cried the clerk, And some there were went daft When a U. S. marshal showed his head Out in the seething mass and said: "Count 22 for Taft!". The Cannon men turned pale as ghosts And the Hughes men gasped for breath? The men for Fairbanks clung to posts As colorless as death. "Arkansas!" the clerk exclaimed, And the hall shook fore and aft When a spry postmaster, white of hair, ? Hopped to the main deck of his chair, And cried " Eighteen .for Taft!" The Fairbanks men exuded groans, And the Cannon men shed tears? And the Hughes men uttered none but moans That once had utter cheers. "California!" booned (lie clerk, And the whole convention laughed When a revenue collector rose And whistled shrilly through his nose, "Count 20 more for Taft!" The Hughes men looked at the Cannon men, And they crawled out of their chairs? |HAnd the Fairbanks follows joined HP tliein when ft They pulled their Teddy Hears. M,< K And they all rushed up to the center |H; stage As men who had mode ready? And when the din and the tumult idicd, id the dust had settled down inTlic candidate, was Teddy. And when Hill Taft discovers what mean trick they have played him '11 shed his coat and go to find the in who lias betrayed him. He'll liunr up the White House steps, with cli jump growing warmer, and Ted ill hear him coming in and slip to his armour. They '11 spar around e room a bit, and Ted will cry, "See re Hill! I know the whole affair ust look all-thunderation queer, 11; but listen: You'll be named for jce, and when we're both elected, jliy, I'Jl resign. You'll get it, Hill? Vet is, that T suspected Rryan would Ifeat you, Bill, which made it neeesfor me to head the ticket, Hill, v everything miscarry." 3*1 Bill will sink into a chair, awa* that he has messed it, and will exclaim, '' I see it now! By Jove, I should have guessed it! O, most ungrateful wretch am I to think that you who made me?my benefactor and mv friend?had shamelessly betrayed me!" Whereat they will embrace and hug As lovers reunited, And Ted will rest on William's breast And softly say, "De-lighted!" June gets its name from Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage. Juno was supposed to see everybody happily married. She was highly gratified to do this, for she herself had. married Jupiter, who was a worse runabout than Boni Gould. When the celestial chorus was playing Parnassus, Jupiter hung around the stage door like a Pittsburger. He stirred up more scandal than Tom Piatt, and was as bold as Gilmanaire Gorey. Juno finally avenged herself upon her rivals by turning tlicni into cows, which made Jupiter a cattle king. The college graduate will hear The Macedonian cry Of Kansas farmers who must get The wheat cut by July. I They'll rustle out while yet the lark Is chirruping his matin, I And chase the binder round the field ^ Exuding Greek and Latin. The dinner bell will bring the sage, the scholar and the cynic, and dintiei will become a sort of scientific clinic Astronomers will talk of Mars, ol Saturn and of Venus, aiftl Latinists recall a few romances of Silenus. The Junobug will -be mentioned as the genus Laehnosterna, and other bug? will speak of land as being terra firnia They'll quarrel, shout and sometime* swear in Arabic and Greok, and now and then a dainty hand will clasp 5' damask check. And all the while th< farmer, full of wondering and doubt will deeply marvel what the hotel Hil it.'s all about. t 'l>e Anti-Sahjon League willing 21st will be the longest day o yj ear.

I'lie boys will seek the swimming hole In quite excited packs, And paddle in it till the sun Puts blisters on their backs; And when the disobedients Come wet-haired back to town, They '11 get a few more blisters raised A little lower down.

The hungry boy will stow a few | green apples in his turn, and his ma will lay him belly up out in the blaz1 ing sun; and after while the pain will cease, the agony and gripe, because, by virtue of the sun, the once-green fruit is ripe. And then the Fourth will come again, With death and lockjaw from it, And Pike's Peak in the public eye, ^ With Bryan on the summit. A BILL IN CONGRESS.
