A Topeka man who had a friend
who had an automobile was asked to
ride SO much that he swelled UP and
bought himself an automobile cap and
a pair of goggles. But that was hrs
hoodoo for he has never been asked to
ride since. Another chap was
DrettY strong the OWI0T Oh d
new car and rode in it so much that
he got so he could sit up as straight
going around the curves as a profes-
sionaI chauffeur. The owner of the
car not only took him for ride ev-
cry night but allowed him to name the
rest OF the party SO that he was fast
paving off all his social obligations
with his friends automobile. His pull
was known to be so strong that the
girls were as polite to him as they
were to the man who owned the car
and he became so assured of his stand
in that he began to made dates for
automobile rides for days ahead so
that he had the car booked for half
the summer. But alas for the vanity
of human hopes! There is nobody so
tickle the owner of an automobile.
You are in with him today and tomor-
row another man and his friends are
occupying the tonneau- 1t was so in
this case. For six weeks he has been
obliged to patronize the street railway
system and is trying to console him
self by saying that he hates the smell
of gasoline, anyway -. And then
there was the girl who had an auto
mobile beau all winter who waited
around for her while she did her
shopping, took her to and from the
station when she went out of town and
in fact got her so used to the machine
that she simply forgot what a street
car looked like. As spring came on she
INDUCED in many dreams of long sum-
mer rides and even went so far as to
buy herself an assortment of motoring
wells to match her suits. But she lost
her happy home before the spring
had come to stay and another girl
rode around in the machine which she
had almost learned to look upon as her
own. One windy day she walked down
town with one of her automobile wells
tied over her hat and met her erst-
while chauffeur. who looked her over
= 4 it'll a supercilious air and said: You
don't have much use for your auto
mobile veil any more, do your"
The only safe way is to own your
own automobile. but of course it costs
a lot to keep them up.
