LINES TO A PERFECT BOSS.
O Boss, I'd not annex your goat
BY striking one discordant note,
For heaven knows that I'm devot-
Ed to you.
You let me write whateer please
Be it on people. prunes or peas
And never try to spoil my Wheel
Els, do you?
o Boss, I've mover, never heard
You say to me an unkind word
Instead. you try to make my burd-
En- lighter.
No matter what the stuff spill
You never put mo on the grill
And tell me that am sill
Ly Brighter.
When from Parnassus' height shrink
And write with many q vulgar wink
/ sometimes wonder what you're think
Ing Of me.
o many things I write and rue1
But though my failings make me blue
You censure not. o you must tru-
Ly love me!
Although today rant and rave,
Some day when l am in, my grave
You'll 'haps be glad that you 50 brave
Ly bore It.
And when from earth your soul has scared
Twill mingle with the Shining Horde
For, Boss, you ought to be reward
Ed for it!

Waters said that he objected to this
scheme as being improper, and Town
ley, implied that he could not object,
as he would be taken care of by be-
ing made manager Of the chain of
banks If the plan went through. He
also discussed the plan with Lemke,

In the meantime. however, Attorney.
General LANCER pulled off his historic
raid on the Observation-Disclosures
bank after the bank was r%copened,
just ut the end of December, 1919.
Waters said that II. J. Hagan, presi-
dent OF the Observation-Disclosures
bank. called him up by telephone and
asked for more money. Waters de-
clded to investigate. the condition Of
the bank in person, and went to Fargo
on January /, 1920, TO do so, taking
with him l.. p. McAneney. director
Of the credits department of the Bank
of North Dakota.

can bank, and at the end Of the in

come to the conclusion that the bank
was in even worse shape than the
newspapers said it was"
At the request OF VIM. Lemkc, tho
two then went to the 'Nonpartisan
league headquarters, in Fargo, and
Waters told Lemke, he says. the con-

the two reached Pollard's room, Pol

that he had collected sixteen hundred

had revived sufficiently to be taken
into his room in the Mckenzie hotel.
According to the latest reports he was
resting easily.
Waters had been sick in the hospital
for some weeks past and has only been
able to be about for the last week.
For this reason the committee has de-
layed putting him on the witness
stand as long as possible for fear the
ordeal might be too much for his
strength.
The fact that the committee must
end its session early ext week, how
ever. made 1t necessary to summon
him today.
League Charges Unfounded.
There were several other interesting
! episodes at the hearing this morning,
Including the taking Of steps by the
committee to prove that charges of
star chamber hearings which have
been made In the Nonpartisan league
press are absolutely unfounded.
While Mr., Waters was resting dur
! Ing the middle Of the morning, Harry
Aultman, accountant for Bishop,
Brissman e. Co., gave an explanation
Of some of his recent testimony be-
fore the senate committee, in which
he stated that a comparison such as
was made at that TING Of the state
ments Of the Bank Of North Dakota
and the First National bank ct Fargo
was valueless.

next Monday.
