Tobin's grove, sno everything went
we'll until the return trip home.
Several of the huegies got stuck 10
the mud in the grove anG the efforts
Of the young men to get the halky
borses started we're quite amusing.
The farmers around there brougtar
ropes and the young men waded ~ &
their shoes in mud and after a great
deal OF trouble they got the horses
started and pulled the vehicles out
on to cry ground. some stayed SO
late in the evening that they got
caught in the rain which came up a
little after 6 O'Clock.
A party of young people who went
picnicing with go automobile Mon
day afternoon have every reason to
bless the rural telephone system
which saved them from an unpleasant
situation about midnight. On their
return home the auto refused to
work, as they often do, and the
roads we're exceedingly muddy, too.
The young gentlemen tried every
possible means to start the machine
but she refused to bulge, notwith-
standing they crawled under the
ob%streperous animal AMI tried eve1v
part. One of the young men guarded
the young ladies while the other
went to d farm house and telephoneI
Ito the city for a dray to come out
and haul them in. 1t was a sorry
looking picnic party that finally
reached town, wet and %bedraggled.
The girls said sit was just awful!"'
which expressed the agony Of an
hour or two in the rain.
