SOMETHING JOB NEVER DID
Possibly an Experience Like Mr..
Browns Would Have Shattered
His Reputation for Patience.

Filled with pride, Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown started out for a drive in
their new mOtOrcar. Mrs. Brown
was hoping the neighbOrs were watch.
ing, but her husband was too busy
steering to hope about anything.
Alack! Before they reached the
end of the road the car stopped,
and stayed that way with a mule
like persisteney. Mr.. Brown tried
every lever and handle in turn. Then
he got down from his seat and began
to investigate.
Presently he lay down and crawled
underneath the car until only his
number mines were left visible. In
few moments the car gave sudden
Jolt and then stopped, and terrible
flow Of language, more fOrcible than
polite, became audible.
"Oh, john" exclaimed the wife, m
Mortified tones. don't swear so! Have
pa tience. like Job did"
JOB" sirieked Mr.. Brown. in q
stified voice. sob would have sworn,
too, if he'd been underneath this
