An old Pennsylvania German living
in the mountains had a hard three
hours dusty walk to accomplish one
morning and he rose very early to
make his start. He had gone but a
little way when he was overtaken by
an automobile, which was probably
the first that had passed along that
way. The driver picked up the old
man and they were at his destination
In about 20 minutes.
"Danks so much awfully nit de
ride. II I had known myself to be
here already two hours in front of de
clock yet l vud be at home fast
asleep already to start unless l knew
you vud not have picked me up since"
