II you want to get across holler
for boat"
Such was the fictitious notice posted
early this morning in Jackson street
al the Monroe street crossing.
The sign was very conspicuous. II
was neatly painted in large black let
ters on dazzling white cardboard and
was plainly visible for distance Of
two squares.
Jackson street is little better than
a continuous. impossible Quagmire
from Barney street for several squares
past the Monroe street crossing and
residents in the vicinity when they
started TO work this morning hailed
with delight the apparent opportunity
of getting safely across the sea OF
mud.
No boat was in sight. and the most
vigorous shouting failed TO get any
response from a boatman. Men EN-.
ployed paving the street continued
splashing slowly through the mud at
their apparently endless task.
The boat must have been sunk by
a German submarine" remarked a
daintily clad stenographer as she
skillfully manipulated her skirts so as
to reduce to a minimum the amount
OF black mud which stopped over the
crossing.
Better get graphing hooks and
start a search for the body of the
boatman," suggested young attor'
ney on his way to the court house.
Ugh. how can you make such hor'
rible jokes?" said the pretty little
manicure lady from a local hotel,
"There-there really might be some
poor fellow smcthered in that mud"
What's all the trouble about?'
asked Mayor Anthony Bowen. who ap'
peared in the crowd at this juncture.
