Tharp wanted to cut into the profits of the heartless oil monopoly and at the same time help his Democratic brethren in the southern shuck, who have turpentine to sell and who are in bad straits because ihe war has knocked the bottom out of the cotion market. That may not be so.

but anyway "l.igo" testifies with his hand on his heart Dial turpentine is not a substitute for lubricating oil. He tried it with his big lourliiK ear.

As never before its owner realized the siitiiirieaucc of a name. Ho recalled his lessons in word analysis. "Auto plus mobile equals self moving." Pursuing tills line of thought, he sadly reflected that turpentine, put the "bll" in mobile.

That Hie plaguy machine was a self acting concern and moved Its running apparatus only when it pleased self, was now evident. Coaxing and fixing would not make it budge, and the oaths that slart mules would have been powerless. So it is just as well that Mr. hTarp never learned to swear. However, the car's triumph was not complete, and maybe it was not obstinacy on Its part so much as inability to digest turpentine, that made it so sot" in Its ways.
