The Locomotive . like — They are mighty clever helpers, but theyre sure to go on strike If, when you have made them part of your equipment, you proceed To forget you ever bought them and ignore the care they need.

Or if the boiler gets to foaming and the engine gets a shot Of some water in the cylinder and things go all to pot, Thens the time a Hartford Policy will save you from the pains Of a bank-roll cut to pieces by non-automatic brains. ^■f> n/.
