THE QUILL for 1916 Zeb Carter's Automobile From the Standpoint of Eliza Jones: I rode in a real automobile to-day! It belonged to Zeb Carter! I was on the Way to the Epworth League Bake-Sale, when I looked up and-there came Zeb Carter down the road 'lickety-split' in a real automobile! It was as shiny as a black cat's eye, and went pretty near as' fast as the wind! I started to cross the street, so that he would surely see me and he stopped that machine and called to me to get in. Of course, I just ran across the street, and climbed in the front seat. Zeb started up the engine which made a wonderful big noise so that all the people in Mr. Brown's store came out to look at us. When the car fZeb says 'car' is more stylish than 'auto- mobile'J started, it jerked my hat nearly off, but after it was going, it was wonderful! We went even faster than Mr. Chandler's team of bays, and al- though it didn't keep in the road quite as Well, we didn't have to stop at theyvatering trough any- way! From the Standpoint of a Travelling Salesman - That Carter kid's automobile is a Ford! . Marion F. Smith. 98

On the quarterdeck the ' ' amused captain and his mate, through their field glasses, had been watch- ing the pitched battle. T he kidis all right, declared the captain, even if heis too little to whip every Pat and Mike that comes along. The ship won't takeanother trip with- out him and his dog for mascots. We haven't had any ,decent weather or any luck at target practice since We left him ashore for his old aunt to educate. Educate,,' sniffed the mate, weren,t we educat- ing him all right? We'l1 have him back or mutiny. Corrinne Thrall 9 7
