A chap waa up In court for shooting

friends right In your et.
The chp pleaded guilty and filed a
motion In arrest of judgment.
And the court arrested the judgment

Motor Car Upkeep
Under the Microscope
By "Utility Test" 1915 Maxwell
I'm Just beginning to realize
' mfn to travel 1,000
mile In a 'week and to put it in
toiibcieutiouHly, doing the sort of
work I d da if you owned me.
It would be easy enough for
me to reel off that thousand on
the road or In park running, but
I'm a business as well a a pleas
ure automobile a tar that eartit,
Its way by enough hard work to
make the fun and health sort of
riding pure velvet.
I have Just spent my third day
In the service of the Payne In
vestment Company of 16th and
Farnam street you know the
real estate people who are aeiiing
that Douglas county farm tract
that you see advertised . In tho
papers. My keepers, the Francls
Cullls Auto Co.. want to keep real,
trustworthy observers in the car
every day.
Mr. Horrace Stevenson, their
salesman, was elected by them to
use me yesterday, and I found in
him another business hustler. Just
as full of enthusiasm about me aa
he was the land he was selling.
We left hla residence, 3003 Bher
man avenue, at 7 this morning and
headed north, stopping at Calhoun.
Klalr, Tekamah. Craig and Oakland,
where he stopped for luncheon. The
roadn were only fair, but I purred
along Ss If I had been built to sell
at from $4,000 to-$5,000: In fnct.
Mr. Htevenson . waa so enthusiastic
about me that, while very hungry,
he took time to give me a little pat
on the fender and quietly ss:
"Perfect performance, old top!
None better; you're real!"
Hhowlng Ktevenson Again.
After lunch I was Juet aa chuck
full of ginger aa I could be, and,
believe me. friend Stevenson had
some more real going forme West
Point, Crowell, Scrlhner. Cooper an.!
Fremont finished my day's work.
Just right here let me tell von that
while I struck some of Nebraska
that was rather perpendicular, I'd
rather climb all the hills In the good
old IT. H. A. than plough through
that mud that sticks like a brother:
however. I'm showing you, and I
went through, hut you would hardly
believe It possible that anyone could
hand you such roads.
Winning a Home for Myself.
It occurred to me several times
that for man running about as
much aa Mr. Ktevenson and having
to aee so many people In a day'
time as ha has. he should have a
Maxwell: In fact, I hope I've spoiled
him from ever thinking of trvlng
to do business In any other way;
and I'm pretty sure I have, for laat
night, aa he left me, I heard htm
say to my driver: "I never would
have believed It possible: here I've
finished sbout three days' work In
one; was In better shape to talk to
my customers by belna out In the
air all day, and I believe the car
could start right out and run all
night; she sure I a wonder!"
Fourth Pay's Record.
I got over enough ground to total
16ft mile today on H gallons of
gaaollne; that'a almost 20.5 miles
f'er gallon. I've not taken on anv
ubrlcatlon oil since I started last
Thursday morning. I've had no
puncture or mechanical trouble of
any kind, and my electric starter has
made a good score. Take It from me,
I'm right here to prove that I'm the
biggest value in motor cars that you
can find In Omaha today at any old
price, particularly at less than $1,000.
Looking Hack.
Adding 1611 miles for yesterday's
run to my previous total, make
44 2.2 miles for three days' run, and
my total gasoline consumption for
that time haa been 21 t gallon.
