His Mistake.

It's hard luck said the friend of the
inventor who had been refused the use of
the street for his horseless carriage. "But
you ought to have known better. People
nowadays don't like to see things done half

But I regard my machine as perfectly
practical
"Oh. the machine may be all right. But
in the light of precedent you ought to have
had too much wisdom to devote your time
to anything so mild. You should have got
ten in earlier, and, instead Of producing
something that would merely brighten
horses. you should have produced trolley
system to kill people outright"
