CAR COMING!

CAR COMING! A ribbon of open road
 Beneath a summer sky; Far whirls the sand like
 phantom hand;
 Car coming" is the cry From beyond the dim horizon,
 Where green and azure meet. Comes a untitled throb like
 choking sob
 Or the hum of a busy street. 'Tis the song of the busy motor
 And the droue of the whistliug air. There's a hand of steel on the
 steering wheel.
 At the rein of the Speed Gods marc The strength of hundred stallions Is straining beneath the hood; The crowd leaps back from the
 dusty track
 As from one of Satau's brood. On each side ride Death and Horror. Straight ahead Success and Fame; With a crash and sigh it flashes by; lis surely a wondrous game; It leaped up out of the distance,
 And into the distance died; And Time and Space in the strain
 ing race
 Drop backward side by side, Henry Stuart Dudley,

second the cork 'bobs a little. Just
keep your head clear and your hand
steady and wait until the cork goes
clear under and begins to sail away
into the clear water. That means
there is a fish at the other end
worth the landing. Too many grls
make the mistake Of pulling the
FIRST time the cork hobs "A little, and
they land a crawfsh. of course,
some of them come back to fish a
second time, but even then the ,ex-

She leaves a husband, two daugh-
tiers and a son, with other relatives
and many friends to mourn their

A Study in Ma thematics.

Johnnie was sent to study math-
ematics and the teacher told him
that it was a true science. For in
stance" he said, If it takes one
man twelve days TO build a house,
then twelve men can build it in one
day." Johnnie replied: And. 288
men will build it in an hour, 1920
in a minute, and 1.0S6,800 men will
put it up in second. Now ! don't
believe they could build one brick
in that time. Again, if one ship

spanks, but a little devil inside of

Arthur Aull, the newspaper phi

old age: Men who live out their
time do not die in a day, nor yet in
a year, but through long period of
years slowly closes in upon them.
The sight grows dim, the ears dull,
he mind ceases to contemplate the
rich fields of the future and Iur ne
to the dead ashes Of the past The
step grows first slow and tt EN- in

of life abates, and fin 1lly ceases

seeing his harvest has ripened a.

catches it as it falls"
