A PUNCTURED TIRE.
MoIasses Is Not a Permanent Cure
but Might he Worse.

Florida Times-Union and Citizen.
The story of a broken tire, or how the
molasses cement failed to work, is what
the friends of a young man named Peters
are trying to find out now.
Peters is ardent devotee of the wheel,
and often takes long rides around the ten
mile rock road. Last Sunday. when about

by the roadside. he opened his repair kit
and discovered that he had no cement, and
thereby hangs the tale. Five miles is a
long way to push wheel to town on a
hot day, and Peters was for a moment dis
consulate. However, he started for home.
but, reaching a negro shack, he conceived
the idea that perhaps the negro had some
molasses in the house, and II could be
used to fill the puncture.
Five minutes and five cents convinced
and Mr.. Peters loaded his repair syringe
with the good black product of the Florida
sugar cane, and commenced operations.
He injected about half a pint of molasses
into the tire, and then applied the pump.
The idea worked like a charm, the tire
became inflated, and Peters mounted his
wheel and started for home.
Nothing happened until the discoyerer of
the new puncture cement reached Bay
street, when, without word of warning,
the molasses began to squirt out of the
puncture. The saccharine few into Peters S

clothes from collar to shoes. There was
the usual crowd at the foot of Hogan
street when this happened, and Mr.. Peters
beat a hasty retreat into the pressroom
of the Times-Union and Citizen Office,
where his brother, who is there employed,
scraped him off with a hammer and chisel.

EXTENSIVE HAIR cur.


Nineteen professional sheep shearers have
begun shearing 10000 sheep at New Brigh-
ton. The task will keep them busy for
over a month. The men use specially de-
signed power instruments and they will
each draw from 81 to $40 per day.
The trusting sheep are enticed into pens
where they are at the mercy of the shear
ers. who are paid by the piece and conse-
quently work with all possible speed. The
up-to-date shearing instrument operates on
the same plan as a BARRIERS hair clipper
in its trips back and forth across the body
Of sheep. The most slillful shearers
work the clippers along the body of the an
imal with great dexterity and as they pro-
coed the wool falls away in a solid bunch
as though the animal had been skinned in
stead of shorn. When the clipper has fin
ished it's work the wool lies on the floor in
a bundle, the naked and indignant sheep
scampers away, and a man with hand

orators and gathers up the WOOL takes it
down into large burlap bags, which when

The men are paid from to cents per
head for the sheep sheared, and rs is a
good days work, although there are men
who claim to have sheared as many as
go sheep in a day. When the 10000 now
at New Brighton have all been deprived of
their wool the band of shearers will move
on westward, the most industrious of them
finally ending up in Nevada and California

DOGS AND PONIES.
The Big Gentry Show to BE Seen Here
This Week.

For six nights and five matinees this
week Prof Gentry's famous dog and pony
shows will turn people away at the exhibit
ton grounds corner of Illinois and Pratt
streets. Thousands of people in Indian
apolis have been amused by Gentrys shows
and this season the largest organization
ever placed on the road by the pony and
dog king will visit Indianapolis. Prof Gen.
try owns four shows and during the winter
months he conceived the idea of taking the
most interesting features of all the shows
with the best performers and including
them in one grand exhibition which will be
given in only the largest cities of the coun-
try. This is the show that is to visit In
dianapolis. With the new features and new
tricks planned and taught the animals dur
ing the winter months this organization is
now the most interesting and most pre-
tentious show of it's kind in the world. The
show rivals many circuses and is more in
teresting and instructive than so-called
colossal three ring" shows.
One of the most interesting features of
the Gentry show is the military drill in
which eighteen ponies perform all the
evolutions and maneuvers of a military
company. During the drill one of the
ponies is taken i'll and 'Dr. JONES'" a mon
Key is sent for. He administers medicine
to the sick pony while it lies on the ground
and performs a speedy recovery. This is
only one of the tricks and features. The
burning house scene this year is more real
istic than ever and more ponies, monkeys
and dogs used to lend interest to the
scene. Two elephants. Pinto and Toby, en-
ter into their tricks like school children
enter into their play and they are show
in themselves.
Prof. Gentry has a new feature in the adj
dition of an imported Zebra, an animal con-
sidered hard TO train, which he will exhibit
in this city. '"rrixie" a diving dog, will be
a feature of the performance as he will
climb a ladder forty-five feet high and dive
into a net on the ground. The entire per-
| Torrance is complete with new and thrill
ling features, too numerous TO mention
| The parade which will be given every
morning is fine spectacle.

Elliott Grey determines to find the boy and
In doing so resorts TO the scheme Of dress

woven many other little happenings and
much clever comedy. The five acts of
