A very bright instance OF "knowinR

O'Clock today. An electric car, the trolley
pole OF which had In some way became
disabled, and been removed, was being
"boosted" over the horseshoe by another
open car. The load, however, was too
heavy when they came to the up grade,
and the wheels OF the rear or pushing car,
spun round rapidly, without making any
progress. This Is q bad place for an In
