5. Should the pedestrian thus trespassing on the highway lose his life in an encounter with a motor-car, he shall not be liable to penal servitude; compensation for shock and loss of time, however, shall be paid from his estate to the driver of the car, such amount being taxed by the coroner. 6. All cattle, sheep, pigs, swine, hares, rabbits, conies, and other ground game, and every goose, duck, fowl, or any animal whatsoever with which the motor shall collide shall, _ipso facto_, be confiscated to the owner of the motor. 7. Any comment, remark, reflection, sneer or innuendo concerning the shape, speed, appearance, noise, smell, or other attribute of a motor-car, or of its occupants, shall be actionable; and every foot-passenger thus offending shall be bound over in the sum of £500 to keep the peace. * * * * * The Scotchman who tumbled off a bicycle says that in future he intends to "let wheel alone." * * * * * Illustration: _Mabel's three bosom Friends_ (_all experts--who have run round to see the Christmas gift_).

As soon as I can afford it I intend to buy a motor." * * * * * Illustration: HOW NOT _Bikist._ "Now then, Ethel, see me make a spurt round this corner." * * * Illustration: TO DO IT _First Villager._ "What's up, Bill?" _Second Villager._ "Oh, only a gent awashin' the dust off his bike." * * * * * It is a bad workman who complains of his tools, yet even the best of them may be justly annoyed when his spanner goes completely off its nut. * * * * * "Motor cycle for sale, 2-3/4 h.-p., equal to 3-1/4 h.-p." _--Provincial Paper._ Discount of 1/2 h.-p. for cash? * * * * * SONG OF THE SCORCHER.
