Bill Bullion has a motor car,
A thing of beauteous ease,
In which he travels fast and far
And always finds breeze.
Bill also gamers railway stocks
Stacked up in precious bales.
In spite of all financial shocks
His income never fails.
He drives a four in hand with skill
And seems without a care.
Bill Bullion takes to wheels at will
And never pays fare.
And yet he doesn't have the fun
Such are the ways of Fate
He knew when as a boy he'd run
On one old roller skate.

Washington, Feb. "A plan, guard

adopted by the administration Demo-

hope that 1t will defeat opposition to

EXTRAORDINARY EFFORTS.
Extraordinary effores were exerted
today and tonight by the administra-

eminent ship purchase bill from
threatened defeat or consignment to
the pigeon hole for the present SEES
sion of congress. UP to late tonight
the Democratic majority was strug-

closed nothing but tentative plans OF
procedure. These included prepare

support from the progressive Republic
cans. and proposals designed to win
back at least six OF the seven Demo-
Gratis who voted with the Republic
cans yesterday to send the measure
back to committee.
President Wilson conferred with
several Progressive Republican SEN
ators today regarding the bill. The
Democratic majority considered plans
to regain the lost ground, and the
sVven recallricant Democrats con-
fetred among themselves. The ma
jofity conference appointed a special
committee Of three, Senators Fletcher.
Simmons and Martin, to conduct ne

parties to ascertain what support the

points of revision. The revolving
Democrats, Senators Banhhead,
