OCTOBER. 
“T, Roosevelt has come back to the 
=e. West! . 
f all the Rough Riders his luck was 
i the best. 
fe rode from Dakota to San Juan Hill, 
ind he found him the Spaniards he wanted 
: ‘to kill. 
a. Shouting, “Into ’em, Teddy, 
oa) An’ into. ’em deep!’ 
And the men of Granada ic 
; Went down in a heap. 
He rested his broncho and fed him 
‘is fill, and then he rode yelling up 
Japitol Hill. He wasn’t expecting 
r asking a thing, but he landed 
ight in the political ring, shouting 
“Into ’em, Teddy, and into’em 
plu: mp !”’ and the poor politicians 
went down in a lump. 
fe watered his pinto and fed him some 
bs oats, 
ind then he remounted and hunted for 
© goats. 
de found him some people who didn’t 
_.. agree 
V with _all of his notions, 
- whoop-pee, 
- Yelling, ‘‘Into ’em, Teddy, 
An’ into ’em hot!’’ 
- And he knocked them all into 
4 The pittomless bot. 
He hobbled his charger and gave 
a some grass, and the he went 
iter someone in his class. He put in 
Pion with blood in its eye, and he 
Bepred on the spurs with a terrible 
ry, saying ‘‘Into ’im, Teddy, ’an

him around, 
ut further adventure was not to be

And slowly rode back to his olden-time

An’ back to ’em proud! a

And solemnly bowed. 
_ He rode in his saddle, and rode 
on his head, and he put all the tend- 
z igi under the bed. He dashed 
the East, and he dashed to 
he West, and he halted before them, 
a ending his chest, saying, ‘‘ Three 
sheers for Teddy, the pride of the 
West!’ ’ and they took a great plea- 
ure in doing the rest.

Bictober is from the Latin octo, 
meaning eight, and it was formerly 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
the eight month of the year. This 
brought the foot-ball season around 
at a time when there was grave dan- 
ger ot being suffocated before the 
ball was even put in play, and there 
was a great deal of dissatisfaction 
at the old Greek and Roman univer- 
sities. A change was frequently 
talked of, but it remained for Numa 
Pompilius, who was one of the early 
friends of education, to do anything 
about it. In 713 B. C. he moved 
October along to its present place in 
the calendar, and now the quarter- 
back ona foot- ball team always says 
before snapping the ball, 
Numa, Numa, 
A> en 
Come seven, 
One, three! 
After which the roeters, wiho 
reached a very high state of profi- 
ciency in the latter days of Numa, 
recite, 
Numa, Numa, 
Boomalooma, 
Come seven, 
One, three, 
or whatever the name of the school 
is, aS you may hear them doing any 
time this month by following the riot 
wagon when it passes. 
Until the 23d of the month, Octo- 
ber will be under the influence of 
Libra, the Balance, which is the 
seventh sign of the zodiac. This 
will enable everybody running for 
office to keep on the fence pretty 
well as to the real issues of the cam- 
paign, but when the sun passes out 
‘of that constellation on the following 
day they will begin dropping on one 
side or the other, and it will be eas- 
ier to make out who the true 
friends of the people are. After 
the 22d we will be influenced by 
Seorpio, the Scorpion, which is al- 
most meaningless now, but in early 
times typified the manner in which 
who were in the habit of going until 
very late in the season without hav- 
ing on any wear to speak of, either, 
the north wind stung the olil Greeks, 
over or under. 
A bit of Fall is as nice a thing 
As I know anything about— 
When the pumpkin pie is ripening, 
And the time is opportune for kraut. 
When the hunter gets his trappings out, 
Awakened by the time of year, 
And the farmer, furious without, 
And hot within, begins to shout, 
‘“Get ou-u-u-u-u-t of here!’’ 
“*Get ou-u-u-u-u-t of here—dadblame 
your skin!’ 
Ah, that’s the proper time to sigh— 
When the squirrel gets his godies in 
Against the winter by-and-by. 
23 
When the bending reaches of the sky 
Are very soft and very near, 
And the farmer, with a watchful eye, 
Begins to hop around and ery, 
““Get ou-u-u-u-u-t of here! ’’ 
Get ou-u-u-u-u-t of here—you blanky- 
blank! ’’ 
Ah, that’s the season of them all— 
When winter hangs upon the flank 
Of the wild goose passing in the fall. 
When the plaintive quail begins to call 
Across the golden fields and sere, 
And the farmer, bursting from the tall 
With leaps and bounds, begin to bawl: 
“*Get ou-u-u-u-u-u-t of here!’’ <4 
The melancholy days will come, 
and the pheasant will intone his 
drum upon the sad and drowsy 
wind in the solemn manner of his 
kind. The booming frog will sniff 
the breeze and fall to digging on his 
knees, and the buckwheat cake will 
take a crack at this fool thing of 
coming back. 
It may be Jeffries and his strain 
are never quite themselves again, 
but the pickled pig’s foot and the 
rest are always equal to the test. 
They never dissipate a bit, but spend 
the sumer prime and fit, and let the 
frost succeed the dew, and they’re 
there, you bet, as good as new. 
The doughty oyster on his shell, 
the chitlin looking strong and well, 
and clear and resolute of eye, the 
hardy brands of winter pie. The 
applebutter, juice and flake, the 
same that mother used to make, and 
the crackling of our youthful lot the 
cock and captain of the pot. 
The softer weather will defy 
The blandishments of June, 
And the month will give us by and by 
The office-hunter’s moon. 
A chop will cost four bits a pound, 
And beef a buck a bite, 
And the wolf will wear a a groove around 
The cabin every night. 
The 418th anniversary of the dis- 
covery of American by Christopher 
Columbus will be celebrated on the 
night of the 14th by the seven Gug- 
genheim brothers. 
Mr. Roosevelt will be stage mana- 
ger again this month. The villain 
will be the Demon Rum. Mr. Bryan 
will be the father of the stolen child, 
and Mr. Cannon, who made the pass- 
word Hell last month, will change it 
to read Hell-p! 
And then November will return 
With cold and chilly draft, 
And the wild goose going down the line 
With Winter biting aft. 
Ladies—We have an unusually 
attractive chance for a bright, ener- 
getic woman, well and favorably 
known in this community. For de-
