CArrLEMAN's AUToMoBILE.-A Bill
ings man told this one on a cattleman
who lately purchased fine auto: The
cattle man, who had been used to horses
all his life, was delighted with his new
style Of mount. He built nice shed
for it-nobody says garage in Billings
and after a few easy lessons, took
the machine out for a spin. He had
good luck and the auto rolled all
around Billings, just as smooth as
grease for an hour or so.
Then he turned home. and riding up
to the shed, yelled, Whoa" at the en-
CINE instead of turning off the power
and applying the brakes. The result
was that the machine went right
through the back of the shed and
against a brick barn, and Mr.. Cattle
mans force of habit cost him a lot

COULD TELL IT ANOTHER WAY.-Many
years ago an old and we'll to do farmer
in western New York had something
of a reputation as a litigant. He had
a peculiar twist about his mouth when
he talked due to some muscular affec-
tion, which gave a striking effect to his
utterances. His old neighbors tell of a
trip that he made to see his lawyer on
a certain occasion when he made up
his mind to have a lawsuit He sat
down with his lawyer, and laid out his
case before him at length. But the
lawyer said, well on that statement
you haven't any case" The old man
hitched his trousers nervously, twitch-
ed his face and hastily replied: We'll,
l can tell it another way."-Case and
