manhood-he was an invalid in his
fathers home. During the active pc
riod of most boys lives he sat in his
invalid's chair on the porch or in the
window.
But he never lost interest or hope.
BY constant plucky effort he learned
to move his arms after they had been
useless almost six years. During the
almost daily visits of his old school
friends, now grown to manhood and
in college or business he shared their
joys and SORROWS as he did before
that day at the park.
Although he could never hope to at
tend, he knew more about Kansas
and Missouri universities than many
fortunate persons who saw them. The
brilliant mind which won for him the
highest honors in his high school class
made him interesting to his friends.

Soft shirts, too, have ousted the old

couth young fellow-passenger was
from the johnson City section and
asked him about the road from the
Tennessee town to Elk Park.

The morning after when DR.. Joyn-

-agreeably SO. We had expected to
find something like a lumber train,
but instead we found just such a train
as Nos. 81 on the Southern or "A and

The road passes through some half

mountains Of solid rock. In many
places there are precipiceS at least
800 feet high on which a man might
stand and drop a rock on top Of the
train as it passes, while on the ppo

the car window hundreds Of feet be-

onward, this way and that, back and
forth, and often n end of the train
is hidden from the other as it winds
around precipitous boulders. From
the car window can be seen numer-
Gus mountain sides of solid rock that
have never been touched by human
hand, for they are SO precipitOus that
no animal could scale them. The
grandeur of the scenery is awe-in-

Motor Club Makes Common
dabIe Decision
Organization to Help Officers
Put a Brake on Unlawful
Speeding
Especial TO The News and Observer

Asheville. Oct. 19.-Believing that
the actions of a few laWless automo-
bile drivers are bringing i'll repute on
the laW-abiding owner Of automobiles
in Asheville, the members Of the
Asheville Motor Club nav devised a
plan whereby the offending autoists
will be under the espionage, not only
Of the police, but of the members OF
the motor club as well.
The plan adopted by the motor
club is the issuance of cards to the
more conservative members, with
spaces in which to fill out a report on
any autoists seen violating any of the
city ordinances. These r mailed in
to the secretary of the club. who in
turn notifies the offending autOist that
his misconduct has been noticed.
The first warning is Of a friendly
nature, the second that he has been
notified for the last time, and the third
comes from the chief of police.
When a man has been seen to vic
late the auto speed law for the third
time, every member Of the club who
has noticed his infractionS Of the law,
is required by the club to appear
against that man in court.
BY this means the club hopes to put
an end to speeding, passing car that
are unloading passengers, running
with the muffler cut out, and other
kindred n~uiSances.
