Once upon a time there was a Wise Guy.
He was possessed of All Wisdom, but that was
by no means what made him wise.
What made him wise was his Faculty, whereby
he could give Wisdom forth to the world either
as Concord Philosophy, or as Dia-
lect, proceeding from Uncle Josh or Uncle Peter
or Uncle Ned, as the Popular Fancy might pre-
fer.
In this way the Wise Guy was able to make
Wisdom go twice as far.

ON AN AUTOMOBILE TOUR.

Mr.. and Mrs. l.. II. Greenwood OF
Gardner, Mass, who are making trip
in their automobile arrived in Whining
ton shortly after o'clock yesterday
afternoon and stopped at the Clayton
House where they will remain until
Thursday In the meantime they Will
sec the points of interest in this vicln-
ity. The machine they use is one Of
the heaviest and most complete seen in
this city fs' sometime.
1t is propelled by steam and although
it can 20 at race track speed MIR. Green
wood has travelled SLOWLY in order that
he and his wife might see as much AS
possible of the country through which
they are passing. Their destination is
Washington where they will spend some
time.
Although only about 81 years old Mr..
Greenwood is a millionaire and he is
making this trip solely in pursuit of
pleasure. He has large furniture and
baby carriage factories in New England
which were established by his father.
He has large interests in the town of
Gardner and it is Il model city. Mr..
Greenwood is the proprietor of the Gard
nrr News which has one of the best
equipped offices in the State. lie takes
much pleasure in directing the policy
of the organ and he and the paper are
very popular III that section of Mass
arhuSrtts.
The tourists left home about three
weeks ago but all of that time has not
been spent on the road. One week was
spent in New York. At Trenton the
machine broke down and about four days
were consumed in having repairs made.
Eight days have been spent on the road.
Although it was possible to make much
better time Mr.. Greenwood prepared to
go at n fifty milo II day rate. At this
speed he is enabled to see more of the
country. To travel more than that dis
lance is tircsome especially to the person
who is running the auto.

before leaving home. He selected Wash
