One State has rules, and in the next we see the traveler perplext, the order is reversed; though eager that the laws prevail, he's always chasing off to jail, by angry speed cops cursed. The conduct that seemed safe and sane when he was journeying in Maine won't answer in New York, and he is pinched with much ado, and forced to eat his prison stew without a knife or fork. In Kansas he is borne to jail for having scorched along the_trail— the peelers saw him go; and in Nebras- ka he is jugged for having chooed and likewise chugged a little bit too slow. And every town along the pike has rule and by-laws much unlike the rules of other grads; and =o there is no end of care; a_sort of sick and green de- spair weighs down the motor lads. “T try so hard,” the tourist sighs, “to class with law-abiding guys, and play | the legal games; but all the by-laws twist and turn, and forty lawyers could not learn the gist of them, by James. I've no ambitions coarse and raw, I would not break a single law, no statute would I bust; yet cops are al- ways on my trail, with threats of fines and teris in jail, to my intense dis- | gust. They pinch me if my bright, or if they give too little light, or if entirely dark; they pinch me for a left-hand turn, ail explanations they will spurn, they pinch me when I park.” It should be possible to drive a stately car with pistons five across the continent, and not be called upon to stop and go to jail, by any cop. or fined a single cent.
