The Hr?t < old Snap Snapped Ilar4
Well, it happened just an I expected.
Kvery day for the pant month
I have been making up my mind tljAt
I would put alcohol In my liazleh?
radiator tomorrow, but now it's too
late. The tomorrow that I was going
to uae did not arrive in time and
now ahe'a busted from the bumper
to the tail-light, judging from the
way water squirts through her rib*.
Naturally I betook myself to a rad-l
ifttor repair shop. The man looked
at my ill water toter, lit his cigarette
7 different times, ?quinted at the
6 bolts that held it intact, intimated
that 68 of my tubes (or rather the
radiator's tubes) were busted, but
finally looked as wise as a HooverDemocrat,
and said: "Old man, (and
me only about 48,) I' can fix her
up for $17.45." When I came to
(after fainting) I coulddent find this
fellow, so 1 had to buy me u new
outfit for $11.08, plus postage.
After getting the old bout in running
trim ngain, 1 felt mighty good.
Hut the next morning I saw frost
on the pumpkin vines and I sensed
another calamity. I ate my waffles
and sorghum, put on my 1027 model j
!
11111,111 .. .1.1 ,'JL 1V Iovercoat,
donned my V92H hat, and
strutted out to that car that ha*
hauled mo to and from thp office for
3 yeara". When I got In, I threw the
switch, put my foot on the starter
button, audi all that thing said was?
'zizz-zizs-t-iz-iyzuuk."
I tried to push the pile of jurvk
out on the street to a hill, but the
brakes wore stuck, and besides that
?my wife simply ain't fit to push
nothing. That woman couldn't push
n moth ball off the mantel?much
less move a 6-passenger car .with
nobody in it bpt me. ?I walked to
the office and phoned the "sejrvice
station"?Ywp, that's what he said
it was. They sent a man up tQ my
house to examine the remains.
1 ' 1 f
Ami shortly thereafter the jj|hone
rang and when I poked the receiver
to my ear, this is what the service
man filled it with: "Your old bfttry
is shot. She's grounded on 6 cells,
leaks badly at both poles, terribly
dry?looks like you'd let us fill her
with water occasionally, it's free, you
know, ^he won't- hold a charge.
Will sell you a 13-cell Copenhaken
Giant for. $15.96, thus allowing you
$1.00 ~for your old battry, or you
can jditt keep it and pay us the reg
ular cash price, $15.96."
So I now have a new battery and
a new radiator and an old car and
no money. I wish somebody would
invent, an automobile with just one
part to it so's when it wore out, the
trouble would be over with. The
horn t'roy.Ojj but so far as 1 um concerned,
it can stay froze. I'll holler |
at the pedestrians, from now on, ami,
if they don't dodge, they can see their i
undertaker. (I got all of the pipes <
a the buii-e fixed foi $45.23, but
this included tin- pay of the helper J
and t . feel of piping and 1 washef;'

wisdom and ability which she has exercised
in the work of our organisation
by service and contribution will

of tne deceased we express our hope
that even so great a loss to us all
may be overruled for good by Him
