The latest instructions to opera
tors If automobiles are given in an
exchange as follows: If fyour brake
fails to work at a critical moment,
run into something cheap. If you
desire to m ke an impression on a
young lady, run over her. Com
mon humanity dictates that you
stop when the tires are out of wind.
Should your auto overturn, leave
your seat immediately. If a man
gets in your way and is run .Iown,
he should apologize; if he is dead,
demand an apology from his wife.
By seating your hest girl in front
with the chauffeur you will have
somel hing pleasant to look forward
to during the drive.

don have no nose, nor no teeth
nor no ears. They swallow their

their crops inside of them. The
outside of hens is generally put into
pillers and feather busters. The
inside # hen is sometimes filed
up with marbles and shirt buttons
and slch. A hen is very much
smaller than good many other
animals, but they'll dig up more
tomato plants than anything that
amt hen. Hens is very useful
to lay eggs for plum pudding. 1
like plum pudding. Hens has got
wings and can f1v when they are
scart. I cut my Uncle Williams
