A came over to Remington Friday evening on his motorcycle to take his girl hack to the hub wih him to see the show at the Ellis theater that evening. On covering about two-thirds of the distance something went wrotig with their “vehicle” and they had to get a party who came along with a good old reliable Dobbin to take them on the rest of the way, they reaching Rensselaer about 11 p. m. Then, after securing the necessary repairs, Dobbin hauled them back to the Scene where the new-fangled conveyance was left and the young man set to work to get the machine in running order again. But he couldn’t make it go, and finally the young lady’s folks were ’phoijed to and they got up out „of a nice warm bed and cranked up their auto and went after her, arriving home in the wee sma’ hours of the morning. Moral-—Dobbin may be slow, but he never fails to get there.
