HIS CAR.
(To his friend.) : “Tire greatest car that ever wore tyres. In the two years I’ve owned it I haven't spent a p'enn.v for repairs ; it looks just as good as the day 1 bought it. Years ahead of its time in design; it’ll be .still tup to date five years from now. 1 wouldn’t take a penny less than £SOO for it to-day.’’ (To the tax eollector): “What! You value that at £SOO Mail, yon’re mad. That car is two years old. If 1 started it. you’d be scared out of the neighbourhood. That’s a liability instead of an asset; in fact I’d give it away if I could find anyone that would, take it." Couldn't get a cent for it in the market. And besides, it belongs to a fr.ieni • f mine, and I’m just storing it foi •him.”
