Along the roadways
OF the world.
And leave no footprints
In the sand of time

Likewise the mules,
And over their recumbent necks
My whirling wheels
Pass to an era
Not for them.
They mark a step in progress
Through six thousand years;

OF all the past
And whiZz into the future with
A swish that marks me here
This instant, and the next
A thousand years ahead.

Between the new and old
And backward down the Kismet path

OF hoofbeats moving to the field
OF desuetude.

A million multiples of me
Subscribing man
In all his moving needs,
A mlnistrant of motion that

There's no such word as rest;
And tireless as may be

And tireless as they.

A macintosh that did not fit was the
subject of legal decision in the West
minister county court on Wednesday. The
Regent street shopkeeper who made the
garment said that the purchaser (who
sued for the return Of three guineas paid)
did not give him. time to make another
that would fit. The Judge said person
was entitled to a ''fit' when garment
was sent home. and any permission to al
ter or make a fresh article was mere
good nature and not law. The case
should not have been defended. He gave
the disappointed customer his three
guineas, with costs.
