Show SEPTEMBER THOUGHTS These are beautiful September nights The days are warm and enervating but the night air is full of tonic This is the month that marks the steady i sinking of the mercury in its tube that prepares on or the bIting breezes of October when the frost Is on the pumpkin and the fodders in the shock September is a month of homecoming homecom-ing of shorteniig days and pleasant rambles in the lengthening twilight It is a month of evening entertainments of theatres of quickening trade Children Chil-dren begin their daily march to the temples of learning in September Their laugh is heard again upon the streets and along the country lanes Manly boys and modest maids rene their friendships of the year before Teachers Teach-ers take up the threads again from which the reins of government Me woven And this particular September is greeting thousands of heroes at the threshold of their homes volunteers who are mustered out as the autumn is mustered in There will be homes where the doors are opened In vain where the candle in the window will burn I down and the flame go out as the soul of the fallen hero went out leaving the little room in darkness But Con tit ere the cooling soothing wind of the September night will stop to kiss the mourners cheek and pass like the wandering spirit of summer inquest in-quest of its departed friends September is a glorious month brac lug Invigorating full of cheer and I SJmpathy |
