1t is to be expected that the man who

1t is to be expected that the man who
owns an automobile, or Il devil
wagon as the machines are styled by
the residents Of the rural districts, will
meet with more or less mishaps in the
course of 4 season, and the fact is at
tested to By the frequent presence of
autos in the local machine shops. 1t is
also an acknowledged fact that a
knowledge of the machinist's trade is a
most valuable adjunct in the ownership
Of an auto, as this knowledge will often
help the man out of Scrape when. if
he were just an ordinary man of the
world, he would have to take his ma
chine to Il shop. This, however, does
not always prove infallible, as was
shown by an incident which happened
out on Western avenue, Saturday even
ing. The man in question owns an
auto, and is also a machinist, and be
cause Of that fact, while other ma
chimes have been visitors to the repair
shops at stated intervals his machine
has continued to run steadily through
OFT the season. Saturday night, how
ever, he met his Waterloo, for as he
was returning to town after having
Il
friend, something happened on the hill
near the Gannett estate, and the ma
chine stopped. The man knew enough
to realize that the machine was out of
commission, but he did not crawl under
the car and lie on his back, looking for
the trouble, as the book directs, but
went il search of some horses. to haul
the car home. He wanted two horses,
but the owner of the horses said that
one would do it, so the animal was
hitched on, and the journey began.
Everything went we'll until the outfit
reached City hall, when the horse
baked. Usually. when an auto breaks
down, the ever present joker Of the
crowd has to give vent to some alleged
facctious remark about going back to
the horse for assistance. but in this
case he was silent, for the horse and
the auto were in the same box. Final
ly, another car came along, and the
dead one was attached. This rlan
worked all right till Bangor street was
reached. when the tow line broke, and
the car stopped once more. The man
in the front car did not notice that he
had lost his tow, however, until he
reached the other mans house, when,
on locking round, he found himself
alone. The man with the crippled car
finally reached home. where he soon
made the necessary repairs, and While
he is still figuring out in his mind
which is the most aggravating, a balky
machine or Il ballly horse. he is a little
inclined to favor the machine.
