He Got Fined Anyhow.

In a sparsely settled region OF West
Virginia a motor car driver was once
laled before a local magistrate upon
he complaint of a constable. The
magistrate, good-natured man, was
lot, however, absolutely certain that
he Washingtonian's car had been driv'
on too fast, and the owner stoutly in
sisted that he had been progressing at
he rate of only six miles an hour
why, your honor" he said, my en-
CINE was out of order and | was going
very slowly because | was afraid it
would break down completely. | give
you my word, sir, you could have
walked as fast as was running"
Well" said the magistrate, after due
'efection, you don't appear to have
been exceeding the speed limit, but at
he same time you must have been
guilty of something or you wouldn't be
here. | fine you $40 for lettering"

Month after month passed away, and
In autumn the ships OF the
merchants

All In the village was peace; the men
were intent on their labors,
Busy with hewing and building, with
garden-plot and with merestead,
Busy with breaking the glebe, and
moving the grass in the meadows,
Searching the sea for its fish, and
hunting the deer in the forest.
All in the village was peace; but ct
times the rumor of warfare
Filled the air with alarm, and the APP
prehension of danger.
Bravely the stalwart Miles Standish
was securing the land with his
forces,
Waxing valiant in fight and defeating
the alien armies,
Till his name had become a sound of
fear TO the nations.
Anger was still in his heart. but at
times the remc7so and contrition
Which in all noble natures succeed
the passionate outbreak,
Came like q rising tide, that encount-
ers the rush Of a river,
Staying its current a while, but max
Ing 1t bitter and braclIish.
Meanwhile Alden at home had built
him a new habitation
Solid, substantial, of timber rough
hewn from the frs of the forest.
Wooden-barred was the door and the
roof was covered with rushes;
Latticed the windows were, and the
window-panes were OF paper,
Oiled to admit the light, while wind
and rain were excluded
There, too, he dug a well. and around
It planted an orchard:
Still may be seen TO this day some
trace of the we'll and the orchard.
Close 10 the house was the stall,
