The finest kind of fun;
He ran too fast and broke the shaft,

He took his girl out for ride,
Twas good to be alive;
His carburetor sprung q leak,

He went out to the hills to hunt,
Took c. A. Bugge along;
He broke the universal joint,

He loaned his auto to his boss,
Of G. A. Bugge 4 Co.;
And Madsen broke the crank shaft off

He spent his little pile of cash,
And then in pain he cried;
I'll put mortgage on my job,
And take just one more ride.

the Wilkinson who was mixed up with
Burr.
Scott served in 1872 and fought the
battle of Lundy's Lane near the falls on
the Canadian border. He had been in
several of the Indian wars and in COM
mand of the army since 1871. He had also
been rendered a seat in the cabinet and
some years later than this he was the
whig candidate for President, but failed
of election.
Scott was general in chief in Mexico.
He had $500 men. Santa Anna, his OPP
ponent. had 10000.
Scott landed his force at Vera Cruz.
There our navy helped him by pegging
away at the ancient fort of San Juan de
Ulua. which had made much trouble for
Hawkins and some of the other old-time
freebooters. Scott put his men ashore
by means of surfboats. On March y
he had them in motion. and moreover
somewhat Increased his force by draw
ing on Taylor.
The theater of war now changed to the
| line between Vera Cruz and the capital
* 4
This position was hanked April is and
attacked by three columns. The divi-
sions of Twigg and North went up the
heights gallantly. Here Santa Anna
commanded in person, but the heights
was carried by storm and its guns turned
on another part of the field that Pillow
was assailing. The Mexicans didn't care
for much of that sort of thing and soon
surrendered. Santa Anna, for his part,
fed to Jalapa, with Scott in pursuit. The
latter fought well enough, but Santa
Anna beat HMM the running.
A month so after this fight at Cerro
, Gordo the Americans occupied Puebla.
Here Scott was compelled to wait dur
ing June and July to receive reinforce
! ments and to drill them.
August I he set out for the capital,
which by this time was defended by some
10000 men.
A series of engagements followed this
movement August 10 and 20 three bat
ties were fought, namely, those of Con-
treras, Churubusco and San Antonio
These were really parts of one general
enga cement.
Let 1t not be imagined for a moment
that the MeNicans did not fight. They
fought here with bravery and stubborn
ness. But in the end they were COM
pIetely routed Pursuit of them reached
to the very gates of their capital.
A great mistake was made there by the
Americans in the granting of an artnis
tice. Here they were, in the heart Of the
