SCOTTY DRIVES AN AUTO

San Diego Exposition, Nov. IF, 1914. Dear Herb:
 1 never did care much for riding around in those so-called beach chairs. They make me feel like an invalid; when I seen white garbed woman ap- preaching 1 want to stick out my tongue and say: "See, am much bet ter this morning, Nurse; 1 don't think 1 need any more medicine" And if you are fortunate enough to have a good-looker by your side you can't pat her hand and tell her how the war broke out-and other thnigs-because right through the back of your head you can feel the watery eyes of a pussy-footed attendent boring; and you can't forget his dictaphone-like ears which no whisper escapes; and you know that when he has robbed you on the price he will still be touch ing his cap with one hand and holding out the other for the rest of your roll.
 No, l can't say that Pm nuts about the antiquated roller-chair-but I am about the Electriquettes that they have at the San Diego Exposition. I was walking along the Prado this morning when l saw approaching me a great, big, comfy rattan chair oc- cupied by a couple of nice motherly old ladies. "Well, l suppose they have to have these blamed push-chairs here," I reflected. Some people like 'em, and the chair men have to make living. They must have dwarf pushing this one."
 Just then a lady-like electric horn footed and I turned hurriedly around to see who had the temerity to drive an automobile on the grounds. There was none The chair rolled noisless- ly past me-and nobody was pushing it! 1 rubbed my eyes, and followed it. I felt like the Chinaman who saw a trolleycar for the first time-"No pushee. No pullee. But go like helle alice samee!"
 It was Bunnie's eleventh birthday and 1 thought I'd give her a treat. found the Electriquette station and rented one. You know Pm an expert with perambulators. We'll, driving this Electriquette is just as simple and lots less fatiguing. But l made one fatal mistake: l let Bunnie run it. She would be in it yet-at a dol lar an hour-if she hadn't gone to sleep at the switch along about bed time. At that I couldn't blame her.
 Yours for the Child-Size Electric,
 SCOTTY. P. s. have asked the Boss to either raise my pay or have the guards keep my family away from the Electri- quetet station.
