And when he got out into the street he laughed till the whole machine trembled. He said: "He drive this machine! Oh, he would be lucky if he knew enough to get out when we get there." I must tell you about a rich man's son at Niagara Falls.

e at Niagara Falls. I think I remember one a great deal nearer. I think there are gentlemen present who were at a great banquet, and I beg pardon of his friends. At a banquet here in Philadelphia there sat beside me a kind-hearted young man, and he said, “Mr. Conwell, you have been sick for two or three years. When you go out, take my limousine, and it will take you up to your house on Broad Street.” I thanked him very much, and perhaps I ought not to mention the incident in this way, but I follow the facts. I got on to the seat with the driver of that limousine, outside, and when we were going up I asked the driver, “How much did this limousine cost?” “Six thousand eight hundred, and he had to pay the duty on it.” “Well,” I said, “does the owner of this machine ever drive it himself?” At that the chauffeur laughed so heartily that he lost control of his machine. He was so surprised at the question that he ran up on the sidewalk, and around a corner lamp-post out into the street again. FOR SUCH RICH MEN'S SONS I REMEMBER ONE AT NIAGARA FALLS I THINK I REMEMBER ONE A GREAT DEAL NEARER I THINK THERE ARE GENTLEMEN PRESENT WHO WERE AT A GREAT BANQUET AND I BEG PARDON OF HIS FRIENDS AT A BANQUET HERE IN PHILADELPHIA THERE SAT BESIDE ME A KIND HEARTED YOUNG MAN AND HE SAID MISTER CONWELL YOU HAVE BEEN SICK FOR TWO OR THREE YEARS WHEN YOU GO OUT TAKE MY LIMOUSINE AND IT WILL TAKE YOU UP TO YOUR HOUSE ON BROAD STREET I THANKED HIM VERY MUCH AND PERHAPS I OUGHT NOT MENTION THE INCIDENT IN THIS WAY BUT I FOLLOW THE FACTS I GOT ON THE SEAT WITH THE DRIVER OF THE LIMOUSINE OUTSIDE AND WHEN WE WERE GOING UP I ASKED THE DRIVER HOW MUCH DID THIS LIMOUSINE COST SIX THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND HE HAD TO PAY THE DUTY ON IT WELL I SAID DOES THE OWNER OF THIS MACHINE EVER DRIVE IT HIMSELF AT THAT THE CHAUFFEUR LAUGHED SO HEARTILY THAT HE LOST CONTROL OF HIS MACHINE HE WAS SO SURPRISED AT THE QUESTION THAT HE RAN UP ON THE SIDEWALK AND AROUND THE CORNER LAMP POST OUT ONTO THE STREET AGAIN
