To the Editur 'a -w all thitn Wingham
Dee k' Snr*1 t hate to bo always
'grumblin about what our goon TOrY
Ia.yders do be cloin, biat here is kishter
Ferguson gone and shpilled the banes,
,so to shpalce, instid av 'Lakin in the acl-
vOicc 1 wa safthef givin him more,
than wance. Av coorse thirn brewers
.and distillers are moshtly Tories, an
:hey some roighc to say what will be
111 ;the policy a vthe parthy aven if they
dosubshchoibe to me Grit canipain
fund at elickshun i.ohnes, but Mishter
,Ferguson didn't riade to lishten to
-thim, and sitter up thrubble trie
•‘b.ouse av wan av his frinds who nas
don.e more fel: the parity, widout ix
pibIctun annyting ter his wurruk, than
any wan av thins boose millionaires
:ivir did.
• As soon as the 1Vlissus got honk! av
;the payper, I knew she watt soon be
havin something to say, I mane some -
:ling more than usual, an I began to
,tink up what I ctta say in reploy, if 1
• evir got a chance to git in a wurrud
at all, at all.
"I wondher what ye tink av yer
• frind, Howard Ferguson now, sez sne,
fer a shiater,
""Whoy, what has he been doin
',since?" sez 1, goin on wid fillin toe
"Has he been puttin some
- move bootleggers in jail, arr what?"
but 'tis the innocint ould birr
no: ye are," sez she. To hear ye
talk, a person who didn't know ye wud
tink ye, wus shtill in the pin feather
htage av yer loifc, wid mebby some
av the shell av the egg that hatched
ye shtill shtickip to yer back. 'Tis
roight well ye know what's the mat-
ther," sez she, "wid y'r frind, Howard
Ferguson turnin on the taps agin, an
Misther Nickle an a lot .more dacent
min layvin the parthy, be rayson av
it. 1 wondher how much sbitoik he
owns in the big brevverie$—„rt
4'Hould on wuniman,' lie aisy now,"
sez I, arr, if ye can't be aisy, be as
ais Yas ye can. Shure, Mishter Fer-
guson is wurrukiu in the besht. ;inter-
ests aV the Prawvinee, an is throyin
to shtop the boot leggin thrade, an the
prescripsitun monopoly av the doch-
tors. He is a gil'aleman, an a schol-
ar a na judge av what koinds av whis-
key an beer are good fer slithminicks
av the payple /Ho wants to see that

what they have been dhrinkin an kill -

"Now you've said the thrue wurr-

whether it sould be the, governmint

Roesdale, in Toronto?" Can't a
mon git just as clhrthilc sittin at a
table dhrinkin beer, as shtandin at a

uson so short ,a mimory that he does-

OLD OCTOBER
Old October's part nigh gone.
And the frosts is comin! on,
Little heavier every day,
Like our hearts is thataway!
Leaves is changin' overhead
Back from green to gray and red,
Brown and yeller with their stems
Loosenin' on the oaks and e'rns.
And the balance of the trees •
Gittin' balder every breeze—
Like the heads we're scratchin' on!
Old OCtober's pert nigh gone;
I love old October so,
I can't bear to see her gp--
Seems to me like losin%some
Old -home relative er chum --
'Pears like sorto .settin' 6y
Some old friend 'at sigh by sigh
Was a-passin' out o' sight
Into everlastin' night!
Hickernuts a feller hears
Rattlin' down is more like tears
Drappin on the leaves below—
.
'Jove old October so!
Cant tell what it is about
Old October knocks me out!
I sleep well enough at night—
And. the blamdest appetite -
Ever mortal man possessed,—
Last thing et, it tastes the best!—
Walnuts, butternuts, paw paws,
Iles and limbers up my jaws
Fer raal service, sich a new
Pork, spareribs and sausage too.--
Yit, fe ra.II; they's somepin 'bout
Old October knocks me out!-
---James Whitcomb Riley
