A DISTANT e sPECK

About two years ago my brother and some other boys
made what they thought was a, good imitation of an auto
mobile A long board was put on wheels and propelled
like a handcar, excepting that one boy could make it GO.
When they had used it about two weeks they thought
they could make some improvements. They boarded UP
the sides and made a door at the back. Then it was
painted red and, as a last touch, they decided it must
have a number. They made some figures Of cardboard
and nailed them on, making the number, 1927. Then they
started downtown and everyone looked on in amazement.
Next day they went downtown again and the next day,
too. Soon people became accustomed to the strange
sight and now when they see a red speck in the distance
they say, sHere comes No. 1927" The boys still have
this queer equipage in their possession. Altho it is a
long time since they have used it, they viii never forget
the good times they had with No. 1427.

THE HEUA6BER A CHECK
One busy day in the town where I lived we heard a
loud noise. All the people looked around and there we
saw an automobile coming at full speed. This was
against the law. The people did not know how they were
going to stop them, nor who they were, so we looked at
the number. There in large letters was '1427.'' The
people ~telephoned to the next town, telling them about
it and to see if they could stop them and, Of course,
they were given the number. When the automobile ar
rived at the next town the people were all ready for it.
They stood in the road and would not get out Of the
way. The automobile stopped and the people took the
men to the Judge, who said, sYou will have to pay a
fine of $780," IF it had not been for the number 1927
they would not have been stopped. -
