RIGHT OF WAY.
(Sent In by Doris Skinner, Bradford Street, Wailii; age 14.) Toot, toot! The motor came flj'ing round the corner, and the old gentleman in the road stepped hastily aside, but his. wife stepped out of the way more leisurely. "Why do wo have to get out of the way for every road-hog that comes along?" she grumbled. "It is the obvious thing to do," suggested the old man. "Nonsense! The right of way is ours". "Oh, undoubtedly, but," he answered, "whenever I hear a motor rushing towards me I always think of the epitaph which runs:— Here lies llio body of William Jay "Who died maintaining his right of way. He was right, dead 1 right, ami his case was strong, But he's just as dead as if he'd been wrong. —Copied.
