| Mr. McCartin has managed to accumulate
for the city. He deserves the thanks of
every farmer, autoist and business house
using delivery wagons for the work he
has done on this thoroughfare.
| The chug, ehug of an automobile has a
peculiar fascination and many strange
things have been charged up to 1t. One
of the claims is that 1t brings on a wierd
kind of sleepiness, a sort of semi-con-
scious state.
This was exemplified on Fifth avenue
one afternoon last week. A negro chauf-
feur was driving a large car at rapid
rate and as he crossed Twenty-second
street one of the tires blew out with such
force that it was torn completely from the
rim. Despite the loudness of the report
made by the bursting tire the negro ap-
parently did not hear it and was turning
into Twenty-first street before he discov-
cred tho loss of the tire Not even the
humping of the tlreless rim seemed to
awaken him.

er Bros. Manufacturing company and the
