Considerable Pelting.

While motoring with a party of friends in the far West our car crashed through a wooden railing on a high embankment along a drive near the Oregon river. ‘ The car ran 50 feet down the bank and landed In the midst of a piCnlc party which was just beginning to have a feast The big car dashed among the picnickers, made them scatter, and demolished the spread. We congratulated ourselves that the car had not turned over and tried to explain matters, offering to pay for aU damages, but the picnickers, none of whom understood English, assaulted us with the mangled remains of their banquet. We hurried away and found ourselves considerably disfigured by the pies, cakes, pickles, jelly, chicken and broken dishes with which wo were pelted.—Exchange. ■' -v J— .A*; -- T r—- ——:
