They make his horses climb up on the
bank;
They make fun OF his whiskers and
his cam.
And gave their speed control another
yank. i.
They disappear in mighty clouds of
dust,
And leave the plodding farmer far be-
His Anglers all aroused, his temper
fused:
And thoughts of sweet revenge pass
through his mind.
The touring car speeds madly on it's
Then something happens, as it some
times will.
There's something wrong. but what no
0sle can say.
Foe fun an hour the stubborn thing
stands still.
The crank, they oil. they pound. they
softly swear.
They oft inspect the car in every part.
They screw up and unscrew things
everywhere,
But nothing they can do will make it
start.
The patient farmer and his Flooding
naES
Come jogging down the highway leis-
urely;
No longer does the chauffeur make his
brags.
The farmer is a welcome sight to see.
They plead with him, they argue and
entreat.
He listens with an ever growing frown.

for proofreaders don't go there.

In all Of the proof sheets they made

He read all the proofs that they
handed him and all read as smooth
as grease,
Till one fatal day when a railroad
wreck occurred in a Russion town.
And they gave him a list OF the vic

He glanced at the copy and realized
that heaven was not for him
But that he'd got into the other place,
and he read till his eyes were dim:
