The professional molasses faster is amartyr.
Imagine man having to sample twenty-five
or thirty grades Of that sirup and then try to
eat a square meal He can't eat a square
meal, you will say. Oh, yes he can, is the
reply. To be sure he tastes Of thirty kinds
of molasses in one day, but he does not swal-
low particle, at least not more than parti-
Gle This requires practice, this abstinence
from swallowing, and is the great difficulty
in the beginners path He must protect his
teeth, too, and therefore his masticators re-
quire careful cleansing, not alone to prevent
decay, but in order to keep his gustatory
sense perfectly neutral

years." said a Boston man, land | assure
you mine is no easy job. There is a strain
that the occupation imposes, and one that
many succumb to, and therefore quit the
business. The tongue, being very sensitive,
requires great care, and therefore / feel it
best not to use tobacco, sweetmeats or highly
seasoned food. Doctors tell me that sugar of
itself does not injure the teeth, but that after
remaining on them for some time undergoes
a chemical change from the saliva and food,
and that the chemical result is corrosive.
Whether that is so or no know that my
teeth have suffered from this business, al
though take extraordinary care. The diff
ference in taste between some grades of mo-
lasses is so slight that the tongue must DO in
a perfectly neutral condition in order to be
an accurate guide. But not only must the
tongue be cared for, but mouth, lips and
teeth must be as free as possible from any
foreign substance.
TN tasting of the various brands place
only a drop on the most sensitive part of the
tongue. try to keep it away from the lips,
mouth and teeth, but do not always succeed.
Now to discriminate between twenty-five
samples l must keep clear head, concentrate
my attention, and make, as it were, an in
analysis To do this faithfully
requires brain work that book writers know
nothing about. In fact, day at honest,
pains taking molasses tasting is day Of hard,
almost said, solitary labor. "-Boston Her

BE stated in messsgs yesterday that
he lad already 800 uen in his party, and
that others were coming from all direc-
tiors. John P. Sears, Of Purcsll, 1. t,
says there are 500 men there ready to 90,
and Parker, from Texas, says he has his

The news of the passage BY the House
of the Oklahoma bill may change plane.
Harry Hill (Oklah0ma Hin) received a
telegram from Whichita psople at Wash
ingtOn in the interest of the bill, last
evening, urging him by all meaDs to stop
the useless invasion; tnat it would in the
end prove hardship to the boomers and
do no good for the agitatOrs of the bill.
Hull, who is the originator of the scheme,
immediately telegrspted Pswnee Bill, to
desist and dissuads the bcomara from the
invasion. Soon sflerward Hill received
the following telegram: "Fown full OF
boomers. Have received news of passage
OF bill. Fer Hesvan's sake come down at
oncs. Settlers wild and can d. nothing
with them" Later on he received a still
more urgent telephone message, calling
upon him to come Immediately. Hill and

horses all along the road. While he does
not know what may be the trouble, he
fears ths boomers have charged PAwnee
Bill with insincerity and are creating G
