 An officer of the United States army at Fort Rosecrans, California. received orders one day last week to proceed forthwith to the Texas bor- der. Before he was ready to start he had the misfortune to be rammed by trolley car, putting the rear axle of his KisselKar out of business.
 It was 10:30 o'clock at night when the manager Of the KisselKar brancn was located. At l1:S0 he succeeded in getting hold of watchman, who turn reused the sales manager and service man.
 By the time these men had loaded the new axle on a three quarter ton Kissel truck. they had missed the midnight train and, being determined to show the army officer what ser vice really meant, the driver of the truck was given orders to beat it for the scene of the accident.
 The truck was checked out at F: 20 o'clock. Over a strange road. lined With many wide detours, and over | temporary bridges. the KisselKar ran like a scared jack rabbit. and arrived at the Grand Hotel in San Diego at 4:12 o'clock, where it was checked iu 1 by the service man, who telephoned MT.
