"A great many people supposed that
the "whisperings' of Charley Bentley on
Tuesday concerned his motor car, which
was having balky spell on Front street.
Such was not the case however, for Mr..
Bentley always displays wide range of
patience when his auto goes into trance.
On this occasion he was bending down
to look under the machine for the pur-
pose of locating the trouble. Just at
that moment the sprinkling cart was
passing by and he received a good
drenching of that part of his clothing
which comes in contact with chair
when in seated position. And it was
to the driver of the sprinkling cart that
Mr.. Bentley was delivering an open air
address.
