DARK WET NIGHT
 DAMP DARK TALE
Terrible Moist Adventures
 of Crew of Good Ship "Shucks''- Major Cater
 Was on Hand With Sage Advice

After all there is great deal in a name. Take the name of Glibb for instance and figure out it's possibili- ties.
 The heavy rainfall last Saturday, which brought so much joy to the val ley on account of the plentiful supply of water it assures for the summer, had it's dark side too. It made the streets a terror to the. automobile owner and driver and many a staunch machine was left hors de combat, sunk up to it's hubs in a wayside ditch.
 Sometime after midnight on Satur- day the members of the Country club who are rehearsing for Christopher Jr. made their weary way from the Elks theater and climbed into their various machines to hustle home for little well earned sleep. Judge Kent took the wheel of his battleship and with Miss Ruth Ainsworth in the coming tower alongside of him and Major Cat ter. Chief Engineer H. L. Aller and Cabin Boy James Dawson on the after deck, started merrily up Fifth avenue to deliver Major Cater safely at the home port All went well until the judge attempted to dock the battleship alongside of the quay in front of the Cater estate, when giving a wrong signal to Chief Engineer Aller, the bat tleship careened badly, threatened to capsize and finally slid into the oozy muck beside the irrigating ditch and refused to budge. Instantly the well trained crew took up the posts assigned them for such an emergency. Judge Kent took command of the cranking apparatus, Engineer Aller and Cabin | Boy Dawson commandeered shoVels 1 from the neighboring households and | taking their places by the after port i and starboard wheels proceeded to dig | the machine into deeper trouble than i Judge Kent had got it into. Forum ately the judge is as good a swimmer as he is an actor and was able to keep | his head above water and the crank | spinning everytime the engine stalled,- which was frequently.
 Major Cater owing to a gun-shot wound in his leg, was incapacitated from rendering any physical assistance; but valuable advice flowed from him in a steady stream. After something over an hours work the floor boards of the machine were still above water. The working force were beautifully encased
 in slathery mud and when they were
 not thanking Cater for the advice he
 so freely offered were doing their best
 to make the situation worse. Miss | AinsWorth who plays the part of Mrs Gliss in Christopher Jo." which is tC
 be presented at the Elks theater nex
 week by the Country club, was sleeping peacefully in the forward coming tow
 er comfortably wrapped in the dis
 carded garments of the working force
 Shortly after three o'clock Miss Glibl
 awoke and suggested in a soft, tiret voice, that possibly if the wreckinl
 crew were to pick up a few bOard from in front of a building which i being erected next door to MT. Cater
 and place them under the wheels the,
 might get the machine out in tim
 for the next evenings rehearsal.
 Judge Kent says that he reache,
 home at 4: 15 A. NJ. and considers him
 self under an unpayable debt to Mis- Glibb AinsWorth for that suggestion.
