 It is very amusing sometimes what innocent freaks an auto will take, and such freaks seem to occur more ire 4uently when Il young man takes a young lady out. One evening last week a Lakeyille young man drove up to the front porch of all attractive young lady's house, whereon the young lady was reposing and invited her for ride. Being of long acquaintances the invitation was cheerfully accepted. All things went we'll excepting the lights, until they came to a railroad crossing near Millerton. Whatever was the trouble with the steering gear has not as yet leaked ont; but the car took to the track instead of the road and the drivers attention was called by al to. the fact that he did not have iron wheels with a flange and it would be impossible for him to follow the rails, and it would be rather a rough ride on the ties. So assisted by a gentleman who happened to be nearby he succeeded in getting off the track, back on the highway and set aright with some friendly advice from the good Samaritan, friend in need, who instructed the driver to keep both hands on the steering wheel to avoid taking the wrong course at short turns in tue road or crossing tracks running nearly parallel with the highway. This timely advice no doubt was leeded, as the parties arrived safely home, with. no,I further adventure than nearly running over cat in the road that was ap- blinded by the bright head light, which were now acting better.
