ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Thenter.

Frank Deshon, who does the princi- pal comedy role in "The Snow Man, :" spends his summers at Cape Cod. No barber being in talking distance, last summer he found 1t necessary to en- gage a farmer to drive him to a barber shop three miles away when it was necessary for him to get a shave. In his drive he observed one day the old mare had the habit of stepping quite frequently. She would worry along, hesitate, put up her ears, and stop. "Why does the horse stop so often?' he asked the farmer during one of his drives to the barber shop. "she likes to hear me say get up I guess.

MoroRMANs FUNERAL CAR

After fifteen years of faithful service Motorman D. Kettles was the recipient of unique tribute offered by his em- ployers and fellow workmen. With a funeral train of street cars, headed by the car ne had operated for eight years and in which the casket had been placed, Kettles body was carried to the grave.
 It is not on record that any other man in the world has ever been bur- jed in quite the manner in which Ket- ties was was taken to the grave. The car at the head of the corage was op- erated by an old time friend and com panion of the deceased. The conductor in charge had worked with the dead motorman for a long time.
 The idea of a street car funeral was conceived by the friends of the old motorman. Because of his long service and Glis rating as a first class man, the street car company readily agreed to furnish the cars for the purpose. All of the employees who could be spared at the time were relieved from duty for @ few hours and were provoded with places in the funeral train, The unusual spectacle caused immense crowds to gather at the curb along the route to the cemetery.-From the Des Moines Register and Leader.

EXPERIMENTING WITH AITOMo-
 BILE TIRES.

BILE TIRES.
 Many attempts have been made to initiate the action of the pneumatic tire by the use of spring wheels, pneumatic huhs, cts, but up to the present time with indifferent success While these devices take up the vibrations trans mitted to the wheel to a certain extent, they do not provide a cushion at the place where it will be most effective, viz, in contact with the road. They act as delicate springs in decreasing the force of shocks borne by the wheel but do not absorb these shocks, as does the pneumatic tire Inequalities and small obstacles sink into the tire, so that the wheel does not require an ex- tra amount of power to lift it over them. For this reason it is very doubtful whether a practical substitute for the pneumatic tire will very be dis covered.
 With the phenomenal increase in the production of automobiles during the past six years there has been 8 like in- crease in the output of the tire manu- facturers, so that the available rubber supply of the world has been seriously affected Imports of crude rubber into the United States alone last year amounted to fifty million dollars. a considerable proportion of which was employed in the manufacture of tires.
 The rubber factory which undertakes the manufacture of automobile tires requires an elaborate and expensive equipment, consisting of washing-ma- chimes for the crude rubber, mixing mills for combining the rubber with sulphur, zinc, litharge and other ingre- dients which influence the vulcanizing process and serve to give strength and wearing qualities to the finished tire. Huge calendar-rolls are required to roll

SEVEN WORTHLESS CHECKS
CASHED BY CAIRO MERCHANTS
Presented to Them During Busy Hours Of Sat-
urday Night In Payment For Purchases
Contractor Fraser Shame Used

| Seven Of Cairos well known,
staunch and hard.headed business
men were caught Saturday night by
trick as old as the hills, as common
| as an old shoe, and they mourn each
the loss Of $3.50 in cash and mer-
chandise. The trick was neatly
played and it's very boldness and
simplicity allayed suspicion and made
III successful. "A negro or two negroes
visited all of the seven and passed a
check on each of them for $3.50 The
fellow or fellows timed his visits In
each place when the proprietors and
clerks were busiest with the usual

1.-THE stores. They were written in a
legibe but somewhat strained hand
such as a school boy or girl might
write and their phraseology was not
such as enc accustomed to writing
checks would use. For instance, the
check passed at the store Of Joe Ale
man, on Commercial avenue, was
dated June els, 1907" and in the
amount was written out Twelve and
a half dollars. Mrs Altman waited
on the fellow who asked for pair of
fousers, selecting pair costing
SITS, also a suit of underwear. When
he presented the check Mrs. Altman
consulted Mr. Altman who was busy
with another customer and directed
her to cash it knowing Mr.. Fraser to
be all right.
