FOR AUGUST.

AUGUST.
Last year ;
Alack and alas!
v Beverly, Mass.'
And Bill on the flat
Of his back in the grass
Sounding the depths
Of the opaline sky
And watching the clouds
Floating dreamily by.
Last year,
Alack and alas!
Beverly, Mass.
This year,
Sagamore Hill,'
Strenous still,
And no one complaining
For want of a thrill,
Shindy and sass
Just as certain as fate
Beverly. Mass.,
Can ditam early or late,
Snore as it pleases
And snooze as it will
This year,
Sagamore Hill.
Of August it may first be said,
its name is from Augustus,
whom men likened unto Ted,
perhaps without injustice, lie
made the world go round about
as many times a niiunte, and
the news was always dull with
out the great Augustus in it.
He had his Ananias Ciuh for
liars and for fakers, and ho loved
to sail his little tub among the
Roman breakers. He cou :lcd
peace a sort of pleague, and
never did pursue it, but lit it
rally at The Hague, and you
couldn't beat him loit.
He preached about the same
old things that. Teddy has been
preaching, and most of Rome't
.t wakenings resulted from his
teaching. He battled hotly foi
i.he right, and vali.mtiy imbued
it, and the h-tork could r.ot al
lempt to light but what he up
and shooed it.
There was however, one affair
lo tell which is to tattle, and
that was where this Roman beai
was coming in from battle, lie
had, cf course, put everything
opposing him to slumber, and
Uome awaited him to sign some
laudatory number.
But here the parellel desists.
Augustus said them, vNo, sir!
and when he entered with his
lists it might have been the
grocer for all the greeting that
he got from that admiring chor
us, the which desire, of course,
was not a bit like Theodorus.
But howsoever, when he died
the month tlut loves to grill us
was being written far and wide
the season of Sextilus. They
wanted to commemorate the hot
time he prestented the nation
with, at any rate, so August was
invented.
The dog days will resume again,
A lid the in? n who voted water
Willi the whether down to eight or ten
Below will grow the hotter
With wishing thut he had foreseen
The season hot and stewing,
And nnthing but a choice between
Pink lemonade and bluing.
It will not strike him, we're
afraid, as when the clod was
stinging, and up and down the
wind-swept street the icicles
were clinging. There's nothing
like a dry parade,' th shouts of
Halleluliah and ti e children
skillfully arnyed for what you
want to fool you.
It's eery ea-y lo forget there's
such a thing as Summer, or such
a quantity m sweat, what lime
the busy drummer is rnb-a-dub-bing
up (1)9 street a' million
bumps a minute, and the line
sweeps by with rhythmic feet
and the little f havers in it.
It somehow makes it seem
thai booze is only fit for motors',
and in the fcuffie that ersuts
not very many voters bit hink
them that in. chance remains
that milk won't give (hem
gristles to last when August b.-i's
their braim and their cars begin
to whioll-.
A crafty temporance is thai
contiiving its elections whim
Boreas is at the'lnt in thes; dis
puted Sictiou j. There is a time
for everything, lo labor a. d to
potter, and one to sit way back
and sing inaudibly for water.
At any rat, the wcrld will sdin
With very small relens'ai,
And the Fail election will begin
To clamor for attention.
I
The next l)v weeks will fire the gust
Repeatedly and oftly,
Aod a let of folks begin to run
For office very softly.
- "
The bold insurgent will have
polled the principal c.hautauquas
w will by that time have be.sn
Told how far discreet his balk
wan, cr if to follow bis nt'aek
with full her demonstration, or
quietly to lip-toe back upon the
reservation.
The hopeful Democrat will
tool this way and that way
training, and bone to have us as
a rule have none of their explain
ing. He'll carefully trim up hi
wicks and gel his pump pulsat
ing, and pass the grand stai'd
every six or seven S2C0iuls wait
ing.
There'll be some dust put up,
it seems, when this exent gels
going, and some things staiting
and the seams that wanted prop
er sewing. No wonder Roose
velt came back, and nowadays
his gun is rusting in the shoot
ing rack, when here is where the
fun is.
The time of green and growing
things will near its termination,
and the song the thrashers
sweetly sing will come with
moderation. We'll sorto' think
of autumn time, the hunter and
and (be nutter, and the fishing
hole will wear a slime thick as
apple butter .
And then September will return
In good aulunnal fashion,
Ahd the poet fall upon his harp
In something of a passion.
