A good story comes from Clarksburg, West Virginia (incidentally the home of John AV. Davis, the present Democratic Presidential nominee). A gentleman of that town, being in a hurry to reach Fairmont, 25 miles away, was guilty of doing the trip over slippery road, on a wet night, in 30 minutes. At one stage of the journey ho noticed a State patrol behind him, and, as ho put it, “I suppose ho was chasing me, as there was no one else I could see who needed to bo chased for speeding. But I ‘ stopped on it.’ ” Subsequently, the patrol arrived at Fairmont and collected the data ho had boon unable to catch on the road ; and it cost the gentleman in a hurry 56.60d01. But for once (ho victim did no! mind. He happened to be tho local dealer for the car in which he had been speeding —a Chrysler,—and the authorities were so “sold on the proposition” by his inadvertent demonstration that they bought a Chrysler, and mounted the patrol on that to put salt on tho tails of the speedersLocal agents: Todd Bros.
