She wrote: Here is something that I saw out my window--it has given me the big thought for my biggest New Year's resolution.

The man at the corner house ran down the steps in a terrible hurry.

He saw the car coming up the hill and whistled to it from the porch, but the man who was running the car did not hear the whistle.

Anyway, he didn't stop the car, and the man on the steps looked as if he'd like to catch the conductor of that car and do something distinctly unfriendly to him, and do it right then and there.

He jammed his hat down over his forehead and started walking very fast.
"What's your hurry ?" said the man he was passing on the corner.
"What's your hurry, Joe ?" and the man on the corner held out his hand.
"Well, I'll be--," said Joe, and he held out his hand, too, "if it isn't--" And it was, and they both laughed and shook hands and clapped each other on the back and shook hands again.
"What's your hurry ?" said the man on the corner again.
"I dun-no," said the man who was so cross because he'd lost his car.
"Nothing much, I guess," and he laughed and the other man laughed and they shook hands again.
