HIS AUTO WISDOM.

Perfectly Wiping to Ride With the Amateur Owner. Nodd-—“Come out with me and take a ride In my auto.” Todd—“ How long have you had It?” “Just got It,” “Had any experience with them?” “No.” "Going to run It yourself?” “I am.” “Can yon mend a punctured tire?” “No, sir.” “Wouldn’t know the first thing to do?” “Not the first thing.” "Have you studied, read, or been given any advice?” , “No, sir; I tell yon I don’t know the first thing.” “How far do you want to go?” “Just as far as the thing will go.” “All right. I’ll go with you.” “What! Why I didn’t dream you’d accept my Invitation.” “Why not?” v. ; “Why, I didn’t suppose you’d care to go out In an auto with a man who doesn’t know anything about It.” ’’Nonsense! You’re Just the man.” “How’s that?” "Simply because, old chap, if we break down we’ll drop the old machine and get home by trolley, train or carriage. But If you thought ybu knew the first thing about it, you’d spend the rest of the day trying to fix It up, while I'd have to stay with you and suffer as a matter of courtesy.”
