A crowd of 1000 Negroes and

Old Man Nose kicked at buck1ng
the elements OH a Gay like that,
some of the spectators thought up
the idea of kicking Nose. But he
ducked it, for when they rushed
him he darted into his home near

his flying machine unprotected.
His chariot, which resembles
junk pile, has somewhat the form
of a plane with tin discs for pro-
pellors, pieces Of wheelbarrows, old
