Mr. Tom Cox, who carries the mail on route eight, has got more ways of traveling than any man you ever saw.

He rides a bicy cle some times, sometimes he goes like greased lightning on a motor cycle, at other times he rides a long legged horse. Then he will drive a short legged one- hitched to a biigsy, and he has an automobile which he may ride on the route sometimes when the new wears off. In the meantime, he is not above rooting it if the occasion demands. He's tried everything between a wheelbarrow and a Hying machine. Shall They lie Filled?
