THE HORSELESS CARRIAGE. It doesn't shy at papers As they blow along ths street : It no siily capers On tin dashboard with its fajt ; It doesn't p.w th 3 si 1 up all arjund the hitch ng pjst; It doesn't scare a - s!iulo.vi a 3 a man would at a gho3t ; It doesn't guaw trie manger, It doesn't waste the hay, Nor put you in o danger When tue brass b nds play. It dosn't rear an 1 quiver When the train goes ru-dii ig by ; It doesn't stand a id shiver When the little snowfl.ik« fly ; It doesn't mind the thu.-der or th! li ht'.iing's b'inliig flub. ; It doesn't keep you chirping an 1 watt cting with th-; lash ; It never minds the banners They display on holidays ; It's a thing of proper manners, Which it shovs in many ways.
