His Epitaph.

A recent automobile accident in an
up state county resulted in the death
of the driver and the injury of two
passengers.
The coroner summoned several wit
nesses, among them a farmer living
near the scene of the accident. There
was voluminOus testimony regarding
the high speed at which the car trav-
eled. Witnesses said, too, that the
road was in bad repair. The coroner
finally reached the farmer who lived
near the scene.
What would you say about this &C
cident, Mr.. Swiggett?' the coroner
asked.
well, if l was writin' that young
mans epitaph," the witness drawled,
I'D say he died tryin' to git sixty
miles a hour out of a ten mile road"
