<h2>THE TWO AUTOMOBILISTS</h2> <h3>BY CAROLYN WELLS</h3> <p>Once on a Time there were Two Young Men, each of whom Bought an Automobile.</p> <p>One Young Man, being of a Bold and Audacious nature, said:</p> <p>"I will make my Machine go so Fast that I will break all Previous Records."</p> <p>Accordingly, he did So, and he Flew through the Small Town like a Red Dragon Pursuing his Prey.</p> <p>Unheeding all Obstacles in his Mad Career, his Automobile ran into a Wall of Rock, and was dashed to Pieces. Also, the young Man was killed.</p> <p>The Other Young Man, being of a Timorous and Careful Disposition, started off with great Caution and Rode at a Slow Pace, pausing now and then, Lest he might Run into Something.</p> <p>The Result was, that Two Automobiles and an Ice Wagon ran into him from behind, spoiling his Car and Killing the Cautious Young Man.</p> <h3>MORALS:</h3> <p>This Fable teaches Us, The More Haste The Less Speed, and Delays Are Dangerous.<span class='pagenum'><SPAN name="Page_574" id="Page_574"></SPAN></span></p> <hr style="width: 65%;" /> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
