How dear to my heart
Are the bumps of my childhood,
The bumps, and the thumps,
And the mumps | had, too, \
But they, and the bumps :
I've received in the meanwhile,
Are as nought to the highways
Of Honolulu!
AS an innocent infant, :
My wee shock-absOrber :
Was subject to bumps I
On the nursery floor,
And as grew older
accordingly holderl,
A hair-brush or slipper
Would lay down the law.
But the corporal punishments
Borne in my childhood,
Are nought to the bumps
That Isuffer today,
When automobiling
In old Honolulu
And jumping the Jumps
On the tourists highway.

PRESSURE RISING STEADILY;
DOMESTIC SUPPLY is SECURE
BULLETIN.

The break in the Oklahoma City Gas and
Electric company's damaged main will be
paired by nightfall.
Success has attended an effort to divert gas
from Shamrock and various other small places
and at | 80 o'clock the pressure in Oklahoma
City was steadily increasing.
This statement came from authoritative
source, and was further enhanced in accepta-
biity by the declaration, made positively, that
gas for domestic in this city would not be cut
off at any time but prospects were good for its
continuous betterment to the point of the usual
daily service
