automobile as much as 10 per cent

justifiable is in steep Hill climbing
The muller was designed for the

Pat Henry was barefoot boy in
Hanover county, Virginia, who
had ready tongue, was sus-
pected OF stealing apples and was
nobody in particular, not having de-
scended from the first or even the
fifteenth families of Virginia. He
was born on May %, 1886, and his
tory would not have had any inter-
est whatever in this date If Pat had
not been such poor business man.
Pat grew up without being pes
tered by society or annoyed with
education and at the age of Is he
married and opened a store. He did
not have to go to the bother of clos
ing it. The sheriff kindly did it foc
him. Pat then rented farm and
tried to cultivate it. His efforts
proved so hard on the farm that he
soon gave it up. Everybody said
Pat was a good fellow and would be
fine company in the poor house
some day.
When Pat failed on the farm he
took up the law III which almost
anyone could succeed at that time, a
lawyers duty being simply to prove
that he had the right on his side.
While waiting for clients Pat began
TO make speeches after the custom
of lawyers and people discovered
that he had a sharp wayy tongue
with a wavy double edge like a
Cristy bread knife.
Virginia was being very much
abused by King George of England
Just then and Pat Henry got to max
ing remarks about 1t in public
Whenever he got warmed up a little
and began to swing his arms and
allude to tyranny and the baseness
OF being slaves, he got his audience
heated up to the point of demanding
tyrants on toast and in the end he
was elected a delegate to the first
Continental congress. He went to

Two Object Lessons.

The other morning the writer, q
confirmed smoker, started ,blithsly
for his morning train. About half
block from the house he discoE
cred that he had left his pipe, Back
he went for this indispensable ad-
junet to happiness. The door was
locked, of course, and time was
needed to unlock it. Ii wae rain
ing, and on boiling through the
door he caught a rib of his UNI
brella and broke 1t. Having pro-
cured the pipe, he grabbed another
umbrella, only to discover when
outside the door that it was an old
one with holes in it. More time to
unlock the door and get another
umbrella then a long run for the
train, which was reached just as 1t
was pulling out, And all because
of smoking.
To lend point to the story one of
two endings should be added
either that he missed the train and
thus failed at an important ap-
pointment involving thousands OF
dollars or that he fell dead of heart
disease caused by sprinting for the
train. But neither happened. This
is truthful narrative.
Here Is another case Aladar W
Herzog, an Austrian of noble birth
who was specializing in Wal
street, was arrested recently for
carrying lighted cigar on tie sub,
way. The magistrate fined him SO
The Austrian did not mind the
fine, but he was on the wrong side
of the market, and every minute
counted.
