“And do you ever think what you arc 
going to do when you are a great big 
man?” “N—no, sir.” *'Ah, I knew it. 
Children are so shiftless these times. 
And why don’t you give it any thought?" 
“B—‘because I am a little girl, sir.”—Tit- 
Bits. 
Nervous Old Lady (in railway car¬ 
riage : “I hope the gun is not loaded, 
sir?” Sportsman: “I’m afraid it is. 
However, I will insert this cork in the 
muzzle. There; quite safe now.” The 
nervous old lady breathed a sigh of re¬ 
lief.—M. A. P. 
“Are you good at measurements?” 
asked Paul. “1 am that!” said Pat 
quickly. “Then could you tell me how 
many shirts I could get out of a yard?” 
asked Paul. “Sure,” said Pat, “that de¬ 
pends on whose yard you got into!”— 
The Melbourne Australasian. 
“I THOUGHT I should laugh out loud,” 
said a rather illiterate old lady to a 
friend, “when at the circus recently Mrs. 
Smith called an animal a seraph. Of 
course she meant a giraffe. But the fun 
of it was it wasn’t a giraffe—it was a 
camomile !”—Melbourne Australasian. 
Mrs. Jonings: “It’s raining, John, 
and Mrs. Smithkins wants to go home. 
I have no umbrella to lend her except 
my new $10 one. Can’t I let her have 
yours?” Jonings: “I should say not! 
Why, the only umbrella I’ve got has her 
husband’s name on the handle.”—Chi¬ 
cago News. 
“Did you hear what happened at Bag- 
ley’s to-day?” “No; what was it?” “He 
took down an old pistol he had had 
about the house for years, and playfully 
snapped the trigger at his wife, think¬ 
ing it wasn’t loaded.” “Good heavens!” 
“Well, it wasn’t.”—Baltimore American. 
When a butcher answered the bell of 
his telephone instrument one day the 
shrill voice of a little girl greeted his 
ears. “Hello! Is that Mr. Wilson?” 
“Yes,” he answered kindly. “Well, can 
you tell us where grandpa’s liver is? 
We’ve got to put a hot flannel on it, and. 
we can’t find it!”—London Telegraph. 
Flushed and breathless, the well- 
dressed young man picked up the hat 
he had been chasing down the street, 
and leaned against a lamp-post to rest. 
Another, also breathing heavily, came 
running up, and took the hat out of his 
hand. “I’m much obliged,” he said. 
“For fahat?” “This is my hat.” “Where 
is mine, then?” “Hanging behind you at 
the end of a string.”—Melbourne Aus¬ 
tralasian. 
A Pennsylvania professor went to 
one of the Southern States to observe a 
solaneclipse. The da}’ before the event, he 
said to an old colored man, “Tom, if 
you will watch your chickens to-morrow 
morning you’ll find that they’ll all go to 
loost at fl o’clock.” loin was, of cour.-e, 
sceptical; but at the appointed hour the 
heavens were darkened, and the chickens 
retired to roost. At this the man’s 
amazement showed no bounds. “Per- 
fe.'Ser,” said he, “how long ago did you 
know dem chickens would go to roost?” 
“About a year ago,” said the professor 
smilingly. “Well, ef dat don’t beat all!” 
was the man’s comment. “Perfesser, a 
year ago dem chicken^ wa’n’t even hatch¬ 
ed.”—Credit Lost.

The Most Popular Car 
In the World 
Over 20,000 people will this year buy Overlands—the simple, trouble- 
proof, economical cars—the best value ever given. 
The Greatest Value 
There are many able.men making automobiles, and 
there are many kinds of pretty good cars. 
But one of these cars the Overland—has come to lead 
all the rest. In but little more than two years--in spite 
of all competition—it has become the most popular car 
in existence. 
Such a ear, as you know, must be a remarkable car. 
It is a car which you should investigate 
Simple —Economical 
The Overland has fewer parts than any other automo¬ 
bile. Many experts have worked on it to remove the 
complexities—to make the car trouble-proof. 
Wherever possible, they made one part to take the 
place of many. They have made a car which almost cares 
for itself. .Many a man has run it thousands of miles 
without even cleaning a spark plug. 
They devised the pedal control. One goes forward or 
backward, fast or slow, by simply pushing pedals. It is 
so simple, so natural that a child can master the car in 
ten minutes. A young woman is now driving one of 
these cars from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 
They have made a car which always keeps going, re¬ 
gardless of roads or weather. A ear which lias run 28 
miles on one gallon of' gasoline. A car which has been 
operated over thousands of miles at a cost of % cent per 
mile. 
Some of Its Users 
Overlands have been in use for a year and a half in the 
U. S. Mail service. Their daily trips are from 60 to 75 
miles. These care have never missed a trip—never delayed 
the mails for a moment. Yet at times they have run when 
the snow was so deep that all other traffic was stopped. 
Numerous large concerns are supplying Overlands to 
their country salesmen. Among them are the J. 1. Case 
Threshing Machine Co. and the Altman & Taylor Ma¬ 
chine Co. 
One ranch in Texas has lately bought 15 Overlands for 
the use of their cowboys. It is found that 15 men in 
Overlands can do more than 50 men on horses. 
The Overland is selected for all of these uses because 
any man can always keep it going. 
[8W 
No other maker begins to give what the Overland 
gives for the money. One reason is our enormous pro¬ 
duction. We often turn out 140 ears per day. 
Another reason is our extensive use of modern auto¬ 
matic machinery. Over $3,000,000 has been invested to 
make Overland cars economically. 
Every part, by some special machine, is made in the 
most economical way. Many are made at a tenth of the 
usual cost. Yet they are made with exactness such as 
hand work never gives. 
In these ways and others we have cut the cost of 
Overlands 20 per cent within the past year alone. 
Note the Result 
We are now selling a 2>-horsepower Overland for $1,000. 
The wheel base is 102 inches, the power is sufficient for 
any road or hill, the possible speed is 50 miles an hour. 
We are selling a 40-horsepower Overland, with single 
rumble seat, for $1,250. The wheel base is 112 inches. 
Other styles for $1,275, $1,400 and $1,500. 
There are thousands of men—some of them right around 
you—who know that the Overland is the most desirable 
ear that was ever created. If you will send us thiscoupon 
we will tell you all of the reasons, and send pictures of 
all of the cars. Send it now, before yoti forget it.
