When It Goes, It Goes Like Hellee, But—

Harry Murray is the first rural mail carrier out •of Rensselaer to adopt the auto for carrying mail. He has bought Joe Hammond’s Brush runabout, and now skims over his route in a jiffy—that is, he does when the roads are good and everything works right. He started down town Thursday morning, however, and not being very familiar with these cranky and contrary varmits, it balked with him when half way between his home and the postoffice and it was raining slightly at the time, too. When he reached the postoffice, after leaving the balky machine in the _ road, the other carriers thought he had forded the raging Iroquois.
