 ON THE MAP.
 Owing to the fact of number of auto. mobiles passing through our little village each week, we are beginning to think Lime Rock is on the map after all. Our roads possibly might be in better con dition, but we ask no odds of our neigh bors as to well kept lawns and sidewalks.
 WHERE'S THE MoRALg
 One of the autos recently purchased Ill this vicinity caused quite a sensation last week. Two ladies out driving the family horse heard the honk of an auto horn, and although knowing the horse was not afraid Of automobiles, could not control that inborn feeling of self-pres- ervation. One of the ladies, handing the relns to her companion, remarking she would hold the horses head, started Tor the bank near the roadside, sup- posedly with the idea of sitting on the fence and getting a. better view of the auto as it passed by. The other lady. being now alone, faced the danger with courage and determination. The horse standing still in his tracks merely winlxed at the occupant of the auto, and pointed one ear at the frightened C?) female on the fence. There is moral in this epi. sode but it Is too hot to dig it out.
