Memories

I REMEMBER, I remember,
The car I used to drive,
It started out right gallantly,
But never would arrive.
The commutator wouldn't work,
The jump-spark wouldn't play;
Then suddenly 'twould give a jerk
That took my breath away.

I remember. I remember,
How nothing would stay right;
The aspiration pipe got loose.
The carbureter tight;
The steering-knuckle broke one day;
'Twas just before we met
A heedless old pedestrian,—
The man is living yet!

I remember, I remember,
The curves I used to swing;
I thought that twenty miles an hour
Was speed like anything!
The car seemed like a feather then,
That seems so heavy now.
And punctured tires could not disperse
The smiles that wreathed my brow.

I remember, I remember,
That little runabout;
It always skidded, slipped and bucked,
And calmly threw me out.
I have a Palace Flyer now.
But still 'tis little fun—
For I am far less satisfied
Than when I first begun.

OCTOBER
THE Zodiacal sign for October is the Black Cat.
This is a weird and mysterious beast, with
yellow eyeballs and bristling fur. Those born under
this sign are witches and wizards. Their aim is to
bamboozle the public. If men they adopt the call-
ing of Mental Healers or Patent-medicine Manufact-
urers. If feminine they are chorus girls, or just
plain charmers. They hoodwink the public in mainy
ways, and on All-Hallow Eve they perforn magic
rites and have a lot of fun. All people born under
this sign are magicians and can do whatever they
choose. Hermann the Greatt was probably born in
October, also T. Roosevelt.

Proverbs of New York Streets.
A NEW Broome street's clean.
The Broadway leadeth to destruction.
Stone Wall streets do not a prison make.
How old is Ann street ?
A Bowling Green gathers no moss.
Never say Dey street.
Oh, Liberty street, what crimes are committed in thy name!
Division street is as bad.
A Rose street by any other name would smell as sweet.
A Little W. Twelfth street is a dangerous thing.
King street can do no wrong.
A good name is rather to be chosen than Great Jones street.
Better Laight street than never.
He asked for bread and they gave him a Stone street.
