GANDERONES FORECAST.

June). ’ The liuin .with- the mortarboard on his head Will have a word with the coun- . r , try ipvsv: L ■ WiIJ point with pride and view ■ with d read, And he U wrinkle hi? a^r.fated ■ brow.' 1 he iioarded wisdom of all the years \\ ill venture its wings in the summer sun, And t lie graduate, rubbing his throbbing ears, w Will wonder if Philadelphia won. The man with the mortarboard on his head W ill fling his arms to the bending skies; He will say the things that should be said, And tender the counsel of the wise. The studious wisdom that reappears Once in a year shall flash its wits, And the graduate, rubbing his drumming ears, Will wonder if Cobb got any hits.

June gets its name from Juno, who typified women in ancient mythology. The portrait was so faithfully drawn that when the Romans devised money the first mint was called the Temple of Juno, as something primarily for women. This subsequently proved to be a fact, for though the Romans built other mints from time to time, they were never able to make money as fast as the women could spend.it, and the empire finally fell. ,

The good old summer time is here To fill the reading lamp with bugs, And the busy moth begins to clear The stum page from the winter rugs. The cry for harvest hands will make It well for tramps to travel nights, And the summer camper will forsake His comfort for mosquito bites.

There is no other mood compares to that which tends to turning- back. Or poor men or with millionaires, it hits them just as hard a whack. They want to live ljite Daniel Boone and sleep upon a bed of boughs, their leading coverlet the moon, and

all the cramps the law allows. A tin cup and a wooden spoon are such as kings may. well possess. The lifting laughter of the loon is coming to them, nothing less. They shiver ! in the dew and damp, and all hut' 1 rish in the rain, but let the season 1 but revamp, and they are into it again. They want to live near na-! "ire's heart, and what with sour: dough, dirt and grit, revive the mother’s passing s art and let her ; addle them a bit. . At any rate, the tolls debate Will reach the outer locks at last, And tjie welcome sliced cucumber plate Will wear its edge off being; passed. The calf will gambol pn the green! And show his ma - some fancy stunts, The bathing suit will intervene To show us all four limbs at once. ’ The bridegroom will look into eyes That have it on the brightest star, And the railroad folders will advise The fisherman to travel far. Huerta; will get.out on the 21st. This being the longest day in the year, lie has selected it as probably comporting better than any other with his policy of taking his time about quitting. He-will begin to get out early in the day, and will be! entirely out .by* the time the day! closes. It will then be possible to j have the summer solstice, which would otherwise be marred by Huer- j fa’s disrespect for our wishes in this little matter. The solstice will there- 1 fore be free to see what it can do ' with members of congress who want to take a rest this summer without completing the President’s program, i It will possibly occur to some of these gentlemen during the singular | phenomena attending the solstice' that there will be time to rest when some easy-going person like Roose- ] velt or Mr. Taft gets back in the White House. ! Our Mexican policy will be niade j | a little plainer all the timfe in June.! As we have already indicated, we will hold unto what we are holding; I onto until a stable constitutional ; government is established. We will want an election 'held outdoors! where We can see it, and we will : want to test the stability of the gov-! ! eminent by firing a few shots at! , midnight and other unexpected moj merits around the National palace, j If everybody continues to sleep well 1 i and there is no rush to windows or any diving under beds, we will discharge the patient and withdraw our : army and . navy. If anything else is ; to be required, it will Abe indicated iron: time to time during the month.! There are 30 days in the month. !

I The first 21 days of June will be I under the influence of Gemini the Twins-, tlve third' sign of the zodac. Persons born in this sign, in addition to being twins ordinarily, are extremely cautious, and always take scats near the fire escape. They are about the last people to be won over to any cause, and are, therefore, not :of very much value to progress for usually coming in after they are no longer needed. Most of the people opposed to woman suffrage in .this country are Geminlsts, as opposed to feminists, are being for the most part twins, they are proving a great Obstacle. The last nine days of the month will be under the influence of Cancer the crab, the fourth sign jof the zodiac. Cancer people are I tire most iniqui stive people known, i They virtually own the earth Mr. Rockefeller, who was horn in' this sign, is a fair sample. They are, however, a crabbed lot. which is not | particularly true of Mr. Rockefeller, who is disposed to he genial since the Standard Oil Trust was dissolved into paving him dividends 3t> ways. The moon will be full on the eighth. And then July will swing the gate, With freedom in ascendance, And all of us will celebrate Our partial independence.
