The passenger was too busily employed in saving his bones to be able to see anything of the interesting town. Arriving at the station lie found thai lie still had two hours to wait. "Why in the world," he demanded indignantly, "did you ever hurry like that " You American." responded I he driver with an expressive shrug. "All American like go very much fast."? Youth's Companion.
