No one will grieve because your lips dumb.

Such is Fame.

A young engineer who has been do
ing a job in Kansas has returned to
Philadelphia with this yarn.
One night he happened TO be at a
little cross roads grocery store at a
village beyond the Ozark ridge of the
mountains. Getting into conversation
with the frequenters of the place, he
happened to mention Chauncey NJ.
Depew
The name aroused an old fellow
who had been placidly smoking be
side the stove.
"Depew?" he mused "Chauncey
Depew? | don't recollect no Teller Of

amount of fuel used on the trip
showed that kerosene is at least
fifteen per cent more efficient, gallon
for gallon, than gasoline. The car in
other respects made a most creditable
showing. and there was the usual riv-
airy among the observers to be as
signed to the White so that they
could ride with the maximum Of COM
fort. The only adjustments or re-
pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were Tightening a lubri-
Gator pipe and wiring a damaged mud
guard. These penalties were not in
fiicted until more than 1000 miles
had been completed with an absolute
ly perfect score 1"
A particularly interesting feature
of the new White Steamer is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel. The necessary adjust
ments so that the fuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline, or vice
versa. may be made in a couple OF
minutes; but so completely successful
has kerosene proven to be, that it Is
not believed that any purchasers will
care to use gasoline.
The White Company report that
the demands for their new steam cars
both the S200O-model and the
O0-model-exceed their most SAN
guine expectations. 1t is evident that
the combination of steam-the DOW
err which everyone understands and
has confidence in--with kerosene
the fuel which everyone has on hand
and can handle without any danger
is thoroughly appreciated by
up-to date purchasers of automo-
biles.

The complete success of the new
fuel while on this 265O-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
In the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"a feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal oil, as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 265O-mile
journey, and all claims made in it's
all. as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
lene. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
1t was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour, the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall. where the technical
examination took place. without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly,
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route was most con-
venient, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found a grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was I'M
doubtedly that made month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types Of cars.
There were some people, however.
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
makers Of the White Car. the White
Company. of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra-
ton Of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid

From the standpoint Of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have

from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, if such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion Of observers, named by those
who entered other contesting cars.
Therefore. 1t would have been impos-
stble for the driver of the White to
have even frightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and a penalty in
ficted. At night the cars were
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.

Of readers, says q traveller, they love,
also, to listen 20 the tales Of the
profe ssional story teller, who is quite
an artist in his way. The lower sort
of story teller may be seen seated at
the street corner with a circle OF
gaping coolies around him. The high
err class form guilds, who own special
houses OF tertainment called
"yose." and may also be engaged by
the hour to amuse private parties.
Some story telling is rather in the
nature OF a sixpenny magazine. The

Ages When he comes to some par

slab OF wood kept by him for that
purpose.
The Japanese professional story
teller also invents and recites. If he
doesn't earn his living By story tell

guild OF "yose" The story teller
proper deals in love tale anecdotes
and imaginary incidents. The enter
