Of all the Rough Riders his luck
was the best.
He ro% from Dakota!) to San Juan

And he found him the Spaniards he

Shouting, "Into 'etn, Teddy,

And the men of Granada

Went down in a heap. ,
He rested his broncho ami .'fed
him his fill, and then he made yell'

expecting or asking a thing, but
he landed right in the political ring,
shouting "Into 'em, Teddy, and
into 'em plump!" and 4 ' the poor
politicians went down in a lump.
He wateted his pinto and fed him
some oats, .
And then he remountedatnl limited
for goats.
He found him some people whg
/didn't agree
With all of his notions, and gave a
. whoop-pee,
Yelling,»*'lnto 'em, Teddy,
An* into 'cm hot !"
And he knocked them all into
The pittomiess bot.
He hobbled his char
him some grass, and then he went
after someone in his class. lie put
up a lion with blood in its eye, and
he clapped 011 the spurs with a
terrible cty, saying "Into 'im,
Teddy, an' into 'im hard!'' and
the lion passed on to his final re
ward.
He breathed his good mustang and
looked him around,
But further adventure was not to
he found.
So lie pulled up his trousers and
pulled down his vest,
And slowly rode back to his olden
time West,
Slfrttiting, "Hack to 'em, Teddy,
to TnrpToucl!''
And they gathered about him
And solemnly bowtd.
He rode in his saddle, and on
his head, and he put all the tender
feet under the bed. He dashed to
the East, and he dashed to the
West, and h& halted before thetn,
expanding -his chest, saying,
"Three cheers for Teddy, the pride
of the West!" and they took a great
pleasure in doing the rest.
October is from the Latin octo,
meaning eight, and it was formerly
the eight month of the year. This
brought the football season around
at a time when there was grave
danger of being suffocated before
the ball was even put into play,
and there was a great deal of dis
satisfaction at the old Greek and
Roman universities. A change
was frequently talked of, but it re
mained for Numa Pompilius, who
was one of the early friends of edu
