"Oh, if ! could only be arrest

river.

machine seemed TO hear her, for
it certainly obliged the lady.
found out afterwards that in
order TO make good with Aunt
Miranda the machine jumped up
in the air and turned a double
handspring, during the course of
which friend Uncle and his wife
fell out and landed in the most
generous mudpuddle in that part
of the state.
Then the Buzz Buggy turned
around and barked at them and
with an excited wag Of its tail
scooted for home and left them
flat.
Late that evening Uncle Gil
bert explained that there would
have been no trouble at all if he
had removed a defective spark
plug.
But | think if Uncle Gilbert
would go to Doctor Lesser and
have his parsimony removed he'd
have more fun as he breezes
through life.

people say? You with a new mo-
tor car, afraid to run it yourself,
had to send to New York for
your nephew-niX! Where's
your family pride?"
"My family pride is all
right" answered Uncle Gilbert;
"but there's lot of contraptions
in that machine I don't seem to
recognize"
ooh, that's all right; you're a
handy little guy with ma
chinery," ] reminded him. Hop
in now and break forth. Don't
let the public think that you're
afraid to blow bubble through
the streets of your native town.
The rubber sweater buttoned to
the chin and the Dutch awning
over the forehead for yours, and
on your way.'
Reluctantly Uncle Gilbert and
Aunt Miranda climbed into the
kerosene wagon and | gave him
his final instructions.
Nov. Uncle Gilbert" | said,
grab that wheel in front of you
firmly with both hands and put
one foot on the accelerator. Now
put the other foot on the rheo-
stat and let the left elbow gently
rest on the deodorizer. Keep the
rubber tube connecting with the
automatic fog whistle closely be-
tween the teeth and let the right
elbow be in touch with the quad
ruplex while the apex of the left
knee is pressed over the spark
coil and the right ankle works
the condenser"
Uncle Gilbert grunted. why
don't you put my left shoulder
blade to work ?" he muttered.
'1t's the only part of my anato-
my that hasn't got a job"
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-12-28

John" whispered the nerv-
Gus Aunt Miranda, do you real
ly think your Uncle Gilbert
knows enough about the carr"
"Sure," l answered, and / was
very serious about it. Nov,
Uncle Gilbert, keep both eyes on
the road in front of you and the
rest of your face in the wagon.
Start the driving wheels, repeat
slowly the name of your favorite
coroner and leave the rest to
Fate"
And away they started in the
Whiz Wagon.
Before they had rolled along
for half a mile through the
town, the machine suddenly be-
gan to breathe fast and then, all
of sudden, it choked up and
stopped.
'Will it explode whispered
Aunt Miranda, pleadingly.
NO." said Uncle Gilbert,
jumping out. 81 think the cos
mopolitan has buckled with the
trapezoid," and then, with a
monkey wrench, he crawled un-
der the hood to see if the trouble
was stubbornness or appended
tis.
Uncle Gilbert took dislike to
a brass valve and began to knock
it with the monkey wrench,
whereupon the valve got mad at
him and upset a pint of ancient
salad oil all over his features.
When Uncle Gilbert recovered
consciousness the machine was
breathing again, so he jumped to
the helm, pointed the bow at
Boston, Mass, and began to cut
the grass.
Alas! however, it seemed that
the demon Of unrest possessed
that Coaloil Coupe, for it soon
began to jump and skip, and sud-
denly, with a snort, it took the
river road and scooted away
from town.
Uncle Gilbert patted it on the
! back and spoke soothingly, but
it was no use.
Aunt Miranda pleaded with
him to keep in near the shore,
because she was getting seasick ;
but her tears were in vain.
"You must appear calm and
Indifferent in the presence of
danger" muttered Uncle Gilbert
as they rushed madly into the
bosom Of a flock of COWS.
But luck was with them, for
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-12-28

with a turn Of the wrist Uncle
Gilbert jumped the machine
across the road, and all he could
feel was the sharp swish of an
old cows tail across his cheek
as they rushed on and out Of that
animals life forever.
Aunt Miranda tried to be brave
and to chat pleasantly. How is
Wall street these days? ?" she
asked, and just then the machine
struck a stone and she went up
in the air.
"Unsettled," answered Uncle
Gilbert when she got back, and
then there was an embarrassing
silence.
To try to hold a polite conver-
sation in a motor car in full
flight is very much like trying
to repeat the Declaration of In
dependence while falling from a
seventh-story window.
Then, all Of a sudden, the ma
chine struck a chord in G. and
started for Newfoundland at the
rate of 100000 miles minute.
Aunt Miranda threw her arms
around Uncle Gilbert's neck, he
| threw his neck around the level,
the lever threw him over, and
they both threw a fit.
Down the road ahead Of them
a man and his wife were quar-
reling. They were so much in
earnest that they did not hear
the machine sneaking swiftly up
on rubber shoes.
AS the Benzine Buggy was
about to fall upon the quarreling
man and wife Uncle Gilbert
squeezed a couple Of hoarse
"Toot Toots!' from the horn,
whereupon the woman in the
road threw up both hands and
leaped for the man. The man
threw up both feet and leaped
for the fence.
The last Aunt Miranda saw of
them they were entering their
modest home neck and neck, and
the divorce court lost bet.
Then the machine began to
climb a telegraph pole, and as
it ran down the other side Aunt
Miranda wanted to know for the
tenth time if it would explode.
How did John tell you to
handle it?' she shrieked, as the
Rowdy Cart bit its way through
stone fence and began to dance
a two-step over strange mans
lawn.

the Ward county Jail.
The couple quarreled immed-
lately after breakfast and the
husband left the house in a rage
for the barn, where he kept a
rife. The wife in a frenzy of
fear crawled through a window
and sought a place to hide, saw
the barrel standing near the edge
of plowed field about fifty feet
away, placing it on its side with
the bottom or the closed end to-
ward the house. She crawled in
head first.
The husband returned to the
house with the rifle and failing
to find her inside returned out
doors.
Calling to Jan Piekos, fellow
countryman visiting with him, to
watch him shoot he aimed at the
bottom of the barrel and fired.
The bullet entered the wom-

shoulder and emerged above the

The dead body was discovered
a few minutes later. The eld.
