TOMMY'S SUSPICIONS. 



My daddy sa} s tkri when he was 



A boy, he never cried 

 Ner run away from school to go 



A-swimmin' ; never tried 

 To cut a lickin' ; never failed 



To do as he was bid. 

 Well, maybe daddy didn't, then; 



But gran-ma sa)s he did! 



My daddy brags a lot about 



The way boys acted when 

 He was a boy. Gee ! but they must 



'A' been 'most angels then ! 

 He says he never dared to peep 



Beneath the cakebox lid ; 

 Well, maybe not ; but, anyway, 



My gran'ma says he did. 



"I never tied a tin can to 



A dog's tail in my life !" 

 Says daddy. "An' I never carved 



My 'nitials with a knife 

 In great big glaring capitals 



On the piano lid" ; 

 That's what he told me sollumly, 



But gran-ma says he did ! 



"I never cared for circuses 



An' brass bands an' such things" 

 (Say — honest! that's just what he said!), 



"An' tops an' devil slings. 

 I never waited after school 



To lick some other kid." 

 He says he never done these things, 



But gran'ma says he did. 



Say! but my gran'ma's mighty wise; 



She knowed my daddy when 

 He was a little runt, an' says 



He was a terror then ! 

 He says he never cut up none 



The times he was a kid; 

 I know I ought to b'lieve him, but 



My- gran'ma says he did !

This transmission is one 

 of the reasons why a stock 

 Cadillac with an 8 1 /* horse- 

 power motor made 144 

 miles over rough and hilly 

 roads in 5:38— the pow T er is 

 all used in driving the car. 



The Cadillac transmission embodies strength with sim- 

 plicity; long service without noise— and is only one of 

 the elements that go to make up Cadillac thoroughness 

 in design and workmanship. Let us send you booklet K, 

 and give you the name of the nearest Cadillac agency 

 where you can satisfy yourself that nothing at double 

 the money equals the Cadillac. Prices, $750 to $900.
