Humiliating.

That the motorist w?s rich beyond the ordinary dreams of avarice everything went to show; and he stood haughtily silent when the magistrate, in the usual form, asked him if he had aught to say why sentence should not be pronounced. Haughtily silent and with lip slightly curling he stood. “It is the order of the court, then,” the magistrate went on, “that you pay a fine of $1 ” “One dollar?” the motorist gasped. “One dollar —and costs amounting to 57 cents.” . The man’s panoply of disdain wad broken through. He winced visibly. A shadow of pain flitted across Us face. "Mon Dienl Is there nowhere In this mob-ruled land that a person of real consequence may exceed the speed limit without loss of self-re-spect?” he cried. Flinging a piece of gold on the desk, he fled without waiting for his change. —Puck.
