On Its Reputation

You know that little automobile that everybody
has "a one'' about? Well, here's another
they're passing around:
fellow wished to buy one He couldn't wait to
get it from the local agent he went to the factory
at Detroit and asked the man to sell him one
ssAll right" said the man. "Sit down and I'll run
out into the factory and have them assemble one.
It'll only take minute"
&c. out into the factory he went and in less than a
minute was back again with brandnew machine.
The customer passed over his check, climbed in the
car and was gone. When he was about 20 miles out,
the machine suddenly stopped. The new owner got
out lifted the hood and to his surprise, found there
was no engine in it.
SWELL I'll be darned,' he said, with half-sore
chuckle, she amt put engine in it and it's run
20 miles on nothin' but its reputation"

(Bp Associated Press.l
London. March 12.--Daring work OF
the French Pegoud is described In
Scotch officers letter:
I'VE often see fights in the air be-
tween Pegoud and the German ava
stors," he says. "Alone on his fast
machine, he manages to keep 1t lying
while he fires his machine gun. This
Is no small feat. considering that he
must let go of his levers while firing,
HE brought down three of the enc
my's aeroplanes yesterday. One fell
within our lines, and the other two
dropped more or less damaged inside
the German trenches. Pegoud Is the
most reckless man I have ever seen
He really ventures too much. and
am quite sure they win get him one
of these. days"
