There is no sense, beshrew it, in racketing along; I wonder why they do it, when they must know it’s wrong. Speed fiends, in all the papers read tales of death and wrecks; because of speed fiend capers, men carry broken necks; and to the boneyard, daily, dead men in hearses go, because the speed fiends gayly refuse to travel slow. Cops run them down and pinch them, the while some victim groans and justice, which should cinch them, just fines them seven bones. Such leniency’s a blunder—they pay without a tear, then scorch again like thunder and kill an a2uctioneer. 'Tis wicked to pur- sue it, this vicious course and vain; I wonder why they do it—why not be safe and sane? I drive my fiery auto, a thing of brutal power, by fen and weir and grotto, at fifteen miles an hour. And though for years I've driven my bus along the pave, I've sent no guy un- shriven .to fill an early grave. I've caused no sore contusion with fender or with hood—but, haply, in conclusion, I'd better knock on wood. WALT MASON. (Copyright by George Matthew Adams.) HOUSEBREAKS CHARGED.
