This Cartercar Colonial Coupe presents an appeal to comfort
loving people, both men and women, that is hard to resist.
And that is just the end we havestriven for in designing and
building Model 5-0.
Like all Cartercars, it has the simple two unft patent drive
system which makes potent every ounce of pull in the sturdy
four cylinder valve enclosed silent engine.
The gearless transmission also makes starting and stopping"
a pleasure. The wheels and disk roll gently together so as to
avoid all quick, jerky movements as the engine takes hold or
lets go.
This Cartercar Model is very popular with Ihe ladies, also
physicians and professional men.

Old Fashioned Stuff
I knew a kid one day
Who looked beyond wide orchard
lanes of white
To where a fellow held the laureled
way
Of fame and name and fortune in
the fight;
A kid who heard life calling, and who
turned
To catch tho echo of far-marching
feet
Where crimson fires of glory flashed
and burned
Along the borders of the swarming
street.
I know a fellow now
Who looks across gray years with
weary eyes
Beyond the laurel and tho olive
bough
To rose-sweet dreams beneath re
membered skies.
To fields of golden harvest and the
glow
Of God's lost sunshine waning to
the gleam
Of star-lit dusk back home, so long
ago
It only seems the phantom of a
dream.
I know a fellow who
Would give life's motley fame
again to bo
In orchard drifts where lost winds
wander through
And whisper sighing from the
bending tree;
Who dreams at each gray dusk
within his den
Of old time honor and old
fashioned truth,
And cries to God to lead him back
again
And leave him with the clean,
bravo faith of youth.

That Col. Roosevelt has a great
sense of humor is not always ad
mitted by his enemies. His friends,
however, back up the contention that
he is witty as well as humorous by
numerous instances.
"We came into New York one
morning from a New England cam
paign trip," said George Henry
Payne, "and the colonel invited us to
have breakfast with him at one of
his clubs. The colonel's fnvnrHo
.breakfast food is fishballs, and this
diet was accepted as satisfactory to
most of his guests.
I "He had taken a mouthful of flnii
: ball that had been placed before him
wiien he turned and said:
" 'What is this fishball?'
"I tasted mine and confessor! t.hnt
it did not taste like those that mother
used to make.
"The colonel took a second mouth
ful and then said:
" 'It's lemon, by George!'
"At this moment the waiter placed
in front of him some Viennese rolls.
Roosevelt reached for one, when he
noticed that they were all of the
highly polished variety.
" 'Waiter he said, in a most apol
ogetic tone, 'I may be feeling fussy
this morning, but I do not like lemon
in my fishballs; I do not care for var
nish on my rolls; could you bring me
two soft-boiled eggs without turpen
tine?' "Metropolitan.
