hitting the high spots. I'd haste
on my way and think Of the rec
ords I'd break! II wishes were
autos, a pink limousine would
transport me in comfort and ease;
or in racers I'd ramble all over the
scene, while pedestrians climbed
up the trees. If the strength OF
my longing could make coupe.
other builders would needs shut up
shop. I'd have flivvers constructed
in every known way, with every
known body and top. But al
though may wish till I'm blue In
the face, no autos hang out at my
door; no racers or speedsters en-
cumber the place, and my feet are
still weary and sore. Yes, through
forty-odd years I have murmured:
"Ho, hum! how I wish for an au-
tomobile!' But I walk right along
like the veriest bum, till the blisters
appear on my heel. I can see
now at last that I've been a poor
fish and I've gone at the thing
the wrong way, for l get no re-
suits when l sit down and wish
for a shining, high-powered coupe.
But instead, had 1 started the wish
ing game right; had I wished to
speed up more and more; had
wished to keep working from morn
ing till night, I'd have likely had
cars by the score. Had wished
for the spirit no hardships can
daunt, had / wished for more push
and less pull. I'd have had cars
each year for a cross-country jaunt
and q gasoline tank always full. If
wishes were autos, the 'beggars
would ride; but who'd care for
limousine then? If the man with
the little tin cup sat inside, Shanks'
mare would best please honest
