The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1893-09-10

OUR DAILY RHYME.
Oh, Baby Ruth, sweet Baby Ruth,
We weep at your undoing;
Your little nose is out of joint,
Your little sisters cooling.
And papa, wedged in cares of state,
Must all his feelings smother;
He grumbles at this chance of fate
That robbed you of a brother
He wants boy, and that's the truth,
You both feel mad, sweet Baby Ruth.
