When Father hat the Grip.
Poor mother wears a worried look,
And sister wears a frown;
And if I venture up the stairs
They send me straightway down.
I'm going to tbe drug store now.
Upon a hurried trip, ',;
To get some other kind of dope
For father has the grip. :
I heard him groaning in the night.
He said his head would split;
And then he thought his back would
s.t break;
In just a little bit.
He told us that his legs were sore,
And soon it was his hip;
It seems that everything is sick,
When father has the grip.
The doctor came today and left
Some capsules, and he said,
To take one each three hours until
The pain had really fled.
Says Pa: "That means 12 hours
before
I give this pain the slip;
I'll bet he'd find a faster dope
If he had got the grip.
And then he told ma that he
thought .
That he was going to die;
An' ma says that isn't so
An' gave the reason whv.
Then pa got mad and told her that
He didn t want her lip;
Oh, -there's no comfort in our flat,
When father has the grip. 1

C
Salem, Or., Feb. 2O. Rather
than surrender their passes, the sen
ators this morning passed the com
pulsorv transportation bill over the
governor's veto by 20 to;9. .This is
the finish of the anti-paes fight,
which has waged at all sessions.
, How this measure will harmon
ize with the provisions of the rail
road commission law must be sol ved
later. One reason the senators ov
errode the veto was the fear; that
they would have to pay fare back
home. Working on this theory
Senator Hedges volunteered to wire
Oregon City for enough funds to
pay the fare of every senator, and
although confessing himself a selfish
man, he promised to let any senator
retain the money as a gift if they
could not well repay. '
Whealdon and Hedges were the on
ly two who changed their vote from
the original vote on the bill. '. These
formerly voted to defeat the theas
ure, but flopped and voted to over
ride the governor's decision.

This was the announcement
which startled Judge Wood's conrt
this morning. A email dark strang

guilty of the crime for which Adams
is on (rial. A commotion followed.
Mrs. Adams burst into tears.
