The able thinker of Random
Thoughts for the Pittsburg CIroaj-
Gle dad 76icgIuph was surprised the
other day to learn from THE CRrrtc
that one of the new features of Wash
ington society this winter would be a
Chewing Gum Club. THE surpris,
alluded to, however" says the writer,
"was not at the fact that Washington
girls would couutcnancc such an limo
walton, but rather at the thought that
national recognition was to be accorded
n practice which has cndcnrcd Itself to
every one who has been guilty of being
boy or u girl at II more or less remote
period of their lives. No sooner had |
read the paragraph noted than memory
flew back with electric speed to the
days when shocmakers wax was
chewed with gusto only possible to a
school boy. But shocmakcr's wax was
only makeshift, countcrfcit--the
genuine article being the chewing gum
which revealed itself so temptingly in
the little grocery window on the road
to school, and which caused the juve-
nile to search his prockets again, for
the fiftieth time, in the vain hope that
perhaps penny had got in among his
clothes without his knowledge. All,
to have q mouthful of chewing gum
was to make the lessons easy all day
and to be the one envied of all
others and then at night, when
it was time to go to bed,
we'll remember how the piece
of gum was carefully rolled up in Il
bali and stuck against the lower side of
the table, where no one but the owner
would ever think of looking for it,.
Therefore it is that my heart goes out
to the gum chewcr and my voice lifts
up in defense of chewing gum. One
of the features not to be overlooked in
this connection is the advantage the
monster, man, may derive from the
threatened innovation; for as soon rs
the Washington Chewing Gum Club
gets fairly under way it may be relied
upon that host of others will spring
up, all over the country, and surely we
may then indulge the hope that when
the fair creatures are exercising their
jaws on the gum they will not try to
talk at the same time, and that man
will be allowed to enjoy the longde
MED privilege of taking part in social
conversation. This phase of the Ques.
ton had better be kept in the back
ground, however, until the movement
is well under way.

THE frebug NibAists in Russia and the

claim to represent the laboring men of their

come to those whose interests they claim to
defend. There are honorable ways in which
redress can be obtained. House burning and

A FEW days ago Journal hired man spent
portion Of day in building little joke, little
annex, as it were, to the prevailing hot weather
humor. He himself seemed to realize that it
was joke that wouldn't keep, and ne sent it up
stairs with that understanding, with that child
like confidence that thinks no evil until the stuff
appears in print, when he obiurgates and hopes
that the compositor and proof-reader may not
die of old age. The joke was to the effect that
a colored man had stood at the
head of this years class at West Point.
The mans name was Kuhn, and on this the soul
of the joke hinged Kuhn-coon; see! Well, of
course, it appeared in print that a colored man
had achieved the honor, and Kuhn became
Kahn, and the joke was ready for burial. Pro
fessor Grant, of this city, now explains that
Joseph E. Kuhn, the young man in question, is
the son of a Leavenworth blacksmith. Four
years ago he graduated from the High school,
the youngest of his class yet at its head. Pro
fessor Grant was then principal of the school.

neighborhood of Mackinac with the dis
patches announcing that Judge Holman
congressman from Indiana, and, of course,
the same man, is out ON the Sioux reservation

be injurious in the present state of the

Indiana woods are full of Holmans, and that

IT seems to be the unanimous opinion of the

was out of all proportion to the income of the

'live up" Mr.. Battenbergs salary. The country

these times of financial depression.

that the spirit visitor must be having rather

lofty patriotism assumed that has surpassed

is extremely distressing, therefore, to read in
