One Reason for Chewing.

Magruder's Oldest boy came staggering
through the door of the kitchen the other
day with his face as white as the reputation
of one Of the cary martyrs. When his
mother, in great alarm, asked him what was
the matter, he said he thought he must have
caught cold somehow. But as he proceeded
to the window the next moment and began
to permit his breakfast to come to light, the
explanation was not regarded as perfectly sat-
isiactory, and the old lady instituted an inves-
tigatiOn upon her own account In the first
pocket that she explored she discovered
plug OF tobacco from which a mOuthful had
been removed; and then as the cause OF Hem
ry's illness was evident She proceeded to
hunt up his father for the purpose of re-
monstrating with the culprit. When Magru-
der arrived he went to the closet and selected
favorite bed-slat, and approaching Henry.
he sternly asked
''What d mean by chawin terbacker?
Haven't l told you often enough to let that
ornary stuff alone? I've mind TO bang
thunder out o. you. What d. mean, saw ?''
Il was trying to scare of the cannIbals,
blubbered Henry. 81 don't want to chaw
terbacker. only wanted to keep 'em from
eatin' me. I'll cross my heart to it."
''Cannibals! Cannibalsr' exclaimed Ma
gruder, "what are ye talkin' about? Com
mere to me this minnt! Harriet, the bows
crazy-that terbacker's shattered his intelleck.
Iell me wnat you mean, quick or I'll shake.
the saw dust out o. you.'
81 saw it in the paper" said Henry, ''and
thought mebty the'd catch me some time and
I'd try and get ready for 'em. / was tryin'
TO chew SOS get soaked with terbacker. IF
you don't believe me read that" and he FINN
bled in his pocket till he produced the follow
ing extract from health journal:
1T is said of the cannibals that they never
eat the flesh of a tobacco chewer, because IL
is highly charged with the taste and odor Of
tabacco''
When Magruder finished the paragraph he
said:
"Well, I'll let you off this time, but, mind
me, don't you chaw that stuff agin. No can
nibal is going to eat you any way, and if any
OF 'em come tooln' around you, you call me
and Ill smash 'en with this yere bed slat."
Then Henry rose from his couch and went
out to hunt tor the plug of tobacco when MS
mother had tossed through the WINDOW IL
