When Father Rode a Goat

When Father Rode a Goat
The house is full of arnica
A mystery profound:
We do not dare to run about
Or make the slightest sound I;
We leave the big piano shut,
And do not strike note;
The doctors been here seven
times
Since father rode the goat
He joined the lodge a week ago
Got in at 1 a, m.
And sixteen brethren brought
him home,
Though he says he brought
them.
His wrist was sprained, and
one big rip
Had rent his Sunday coat
There must have been a lively
time
When father rode the goat.
He's resting on the couch today
And practising his signs
The hailing signal, working
grip,
And other monkeys hines;
He mutters pass words meath
his breath,
Aud other things he'll quote

tip-toed to the little drawer
down under the stairway in the
cellar to get himself a clean
shirt and a change of under
wear. He paused and exclaim-

He stopped and pulled the
drawer and looked in.
There were wells, feathers,
ruching. hairpins, red ribbons,
blue ribbons, safety pins, rettl-
coats, silk stockings, powder
puffs, corset covers, trading
stamps, chewing gum, shoe.
strings and other articles too
numerous to mention.
The wise man dug out his
stiff shirt, his underclothes and
cleancollar and carefully wrap
ped them in an old newspaper.
He then carried them to his
room and showed them nnder
his bed.
Then he went out doors and
meditated.

SAN FRANCISCO May ALL the
grain bags in San Francisco were
burned by the great fire. There are
none I'm the state i'm which to sack the
grain harvesting of which will begin
next month Unless sacks can be at
once secured great loss viii result To-
the farmers
This condition of affairs has been
brought to the attention of the Cham
Der of Commerce of san Francisco by
prominent grain firms, which set forth
i'm a letter addressed to Chester w
Bwks that grain bags are held up at
Hougkong on account of a fear of con-
gestion here. Burks has communicat-
ed with r.. =. Schwerin Of the Pacific
Mail steamship Company to see what
can be done to insure immediate
movement of sacks from Hongkong to
San Francisco. As three weeks are
consumed i'm a voyage from Hongkong
to this port the necessity of immediate
action to avoid great losses is obvious.
In both the Sacramento and the San
Joaquin valleys the prospect of an un-
usually large crop of grain is i'm view.
Unless it is to be allowed to ripen and
to be marketed i'm the usual way the
farmers viii be compelled to turn it
into hay while it is green. For their
guidance immediate communication
with Hongkong by cable is indispens-
able. Secretary Burks has asked the
advice of Mr.. Schwerin as to what can
be done at once.
The grain firm that have Commnui-
Gated with the Chamber of Connie
are the Moseley- Bresse Company, the
Gulf Bag Company and Girvin & Eyre.
1T comes to our knowledge" they
write i'm a joint letter that shipments
of grain bags are being held up at
Hongkong on account of fear of con-
gestion here. There IS nothing, we
think, so important at this juncture as
to have forwarded bags for the COM
ing crops. We hardly need tell you
why in view of existing conditions.
There are none here. and a good
many were destroyed by fire. They
can be handled readily at Port Costa
if not here i'm San Francisco. and We
earnestly request you to take the mat
ter up with the Pacific Mail people at
once, as delays are dangerous Bags
shipped now will hardy get here for
this seasons usage
If the grain is cured as hay, it is es-
timated that the farmers will lose two
thirds of the value of the crop. If it
is cut and stacked, says Burks, there
is not enough machinery in California
to thrash it before the rains come
