INTO A STONE WALL
FIRST DAY AT WHEEL
|. HI. Moore Decided Yester-
day to Learn to Run
His Car.
TRIED TO PASS TRUCK
'R1ED TO PASS TRUCK
The Chauffeur Avoided Serious
Accident by Releasing
Clutch.

I. H. Moore, Columbia insurance
agent has owned several motor cars
but he has always left the driving OF
them in the hands o. his chauffeur Roy
Ellington. But yesterday was such
fine day, and he was tired of only rid
ing and viewing the scenery. He
wanted some of the thrills of holding
the steering wheel in his hands. He
called Ellington, and told him what
he had resolved to do.
Mr.. Moore took his seat behind the
wheel, and Ellington took the other
front seat, for he had seen men drive
their first machines before. Every
thing went along smoothly for some
time. Mr.. Moore never took his eyes
from the road as it slipped along
under the tires His hands clutched
the wheel tightly. About two blocks
ahead of him he saw big truck amb'
ling along the road. But Mr.. Moore
was not worried. He had passed sew
aral wagons.
But as he neared Maple street on
South Fifth, the truck seemed to take
up the whole road. He knew he
couldn't pass that thing. He reached
or something to stop the car. His
hands left the wheel. The car thus
eleased joyfully jumped over the
urbing. The going was fine. The
sidewalk was soon passed over. The
soft earth was row under the tires
when suddenly stone foundation
stopped it's wild flight at Fifth and
Maple.
The ever alert chauffeur had re-
leased the clutch When the car first
eft the narrow path. Its speed was
lowered and it hit the house with a
good thud. But not as hard as it
might have been. The fender and
axle of the car were broken. Mr..
Moore was bruised. But outside of
that his first day at driving his ma
chine was complete success.
