Learning the Auto.

I'm learning the automobile;
as, trembling, sit at the wheel,
and steer her along, through the
hurrying throng, how nervous
and awkward feell | jolt peo-
pie out of their lids, | run over
chickens and kids; a squirt she
will throw when | want to go
slow, she seampers, skedadles
and skids. | swear, and I'm
weak in the knees, when swift
around corners she fees, she
whimpers and whirs and she CUR
giles and purrs, and runs into
fences and trees. Ny courage
she constantly damps by running
down bow.wows and tramns: she
colIided today with a big heavy
dray, and busted her Tenders and
lamps, | drive her around Tor
an hour, this engine of terrible
power; whenever | stray, on my
death-dealing way, of feathers
and fur there's a shower. At
night, when go to my bed,
fierce Nightmares abide in my
head; | dream my new truck is
just running amuck, and leaving
a windrow of dead. Irun over
chickens and goats, | run over
ROSTERS and shoats; and oft, in
my dreams, do | rancously scream
MY auto is feeling her oats"-

the Secretary of Agriculture is
authorized to withhold further
such aid where maintenance is
rot properly carried on.
The Senate bill is purely bus
mess measure. There are no
politics in it, no sectionalism. no
favoritism, or no partisanship.
The conditions are plain and SIM
pie ratio in area, in population.
in mileage. Better than all this,
however, is the provision that
the building of good roads for
postal purposes. which will be
available for industrial and COM
mercial purposes also. is to be a
co-partnership matter between
the Nation and the States. The
United States will match dollars
with the States. Under the con-
dltions noted in the bill, the Unit.
ed States will pay a dollar to the
States for the building Of rural
post roads for every dollar they
spend for the same purpose; nc
more and no less. 1t is to be a
"ffty.ffty" affair between the
United States and the States.
The States that pay nothing or
their own account will get moth
ing, under the terms of the bill
ard whatever the States do ir
road building under this bill
must be done under the supervi
sion and with the approval of thu
Secretary of Agriculture.
There will be no attempt OIL
the part of the Federal Govern
ment to interfere with the do
nestle affairs Of the States - al
that will be insisted upon is tina
if the States care to participate
they must participate under IN
terms of the bill.
The appropriations made b
the act are not so large, poss
bly,, as some of the advocates c
good roads would desire; b.
. quite as large doubtless as Ii
p States would care to make
their own account, and if Il
plan should work well, the pa
