MOTORING.

By Walt Mason.

When first a. fellow nets a car, lie navigates it slowly; “base fiends,” be says, “those speeders are —their course is most unholy.” There’ll he no reckless speed for him ; such stuff annoys him urmitly; he will not scorch or scoot or skim, but jog along sedately. “Oh, safety is tire proper stuff,” he says, when feeling chatty; •‘twelve Utiles an hour is last enough for am nutn not batty. The .accidents of which we read are caused by silly duffers who have to bit abnormal speed, and many a Victim suffers.'' But when he’s had his ear nine weeks, lie sends it forth a-humming, arid every country village shriek.' when it beholds him coining. “To crawl along,” lie says, is worse than walking is, dod-gast me! i don't propose that every hearse shall go a-w Fizzing past me! ” And so lie scorches, in his glee, and then, some balmy morning., he winds liis car around a tree, and furnishes a warning.
