FOR GUM CHEWERS.
How the Sticky Stuff is Made in an Indi-
anapolis Factory.

HOW the SItcKy STUN IN 4nduo IN au InO1~
anapolIs Factory.
Down in the extreme southeastern
part of the city is chewing gum fac
tory. This enterprise is a growing in
dustry, adjusting itself to a growing
habit in this community. 1t is as nat
ural nowadays for Hoosier, at least
in the Hoosier capital, to ask for or Of
fer piece of gum, as it was for an old
time Hoosier to request or companion
ably offer ''chaw of terbaccer."
Every body chews. Doctors, law
yers, merchants, that picturesque ag-
gregation, the city council, and the en-
tire baseball nine. When the habit
of chewing gum was confined to ''gig-
Cling" school girls it was an object of
ridicule. When the girls fathers be-
gan chewing they formulated ingenious
excuses for it. Now every body chews
and nothing is said. Any one bringing
up the old-time objections is either ig-
nored, laughed at or looked upon with
interest as a relic of antiquity.
This chewing gum factory is not a
pretentious place. One would be like
ly to pass it by many times without
knowing that a process of wide interest
was going on inside. The interior is
much like that of confectioner's
shop, and the working is the same.
The proceedings start in large kettle
fitted into the top of stove. Here
the ''chicie'' is boiled. This is the
gummy sap of tropical tree, which
is caught much as maple sap is taken
from trees in the North. 1t is dried
by the sun into a brown lumpy SUBJ
stance. This is the part of the gum
that is most steadfast. 1t is what re-
mains when all the attractive but
tickle sweetnesses have departed. 1t
is also the part which after an hour
or two gives ones jaws blase feel
ing that is quite rebelious to the ur-
gent demands of a hungry stomach.
An ample amount of sugar and flavor
ing is added to this substance, and
when cool it is kneaded and other
wise treated like bread. 1t is laid
on one of those large smooth
stones common to confectioners'
shops and printing offices. Here
it is smoothed thin by a
large polished iron roller, and
made still smoother by wide double
roller press. Over the large sheet is
then rolled a rod on which circular
knives are arranged at intervals equal
to the length of the future stick of
gum. These quickly cut the gum into
long strips. The strips are passed
through another roller press, whose
width is equal to their width.
In one of the rollers are grooves at
regular intervals, which are fitted into
the roller above. By these the strips
are compressed at a distance equal to
the width of stick of gum. 1t is
thus easy to break the strips into
sticks. This is done by young ladies,
who wrap them in small printed labels,
stretch small band of rubber about
five of them, and place the packages
in neat boxes holding one hundred
sticks each, such as are seen in the
drug stores. Five 1avors of the gum
are made-licorice, mint, pineapple,
winter-green and sarsaparilla. The
industry, like every other Indianapolis
enterprise, is thrifty indianapolis

WHISTLE THEM AWAY, BOYS.

Have you any petty cares, boysS
Whistle them away,
There's nothing cheers the spirits,
Like merry roundelay.
No matter for the heart-aches,
Meath silk or holden gray,
For the sake of those who love you,
Just whistle them away.
'Tis strange how soon friends gather
About a cheerful face;
That smiling eyes and lips count more
Than beauty, wealth or grace;
But have seen it tried boys,
When trouble comes to stay,
The brave heart leaps TO work, and strives
To whistle it away.
Then as you climb lifes hill, boys,
Put music in your toll

A whistle for foil;
Be steadfast in the right, boys,
Whatere the world may say,
Temptations never conquer those
Who whistle them away!

Two windows face the highway,
Two faces guard the panes,
For a loved ones swift home coming;
And the rainy daylight wanes.
The hour has struck; he comes not;
They softly talk awhile,
But silence falls between them;
Again they watch the stile.
The wife, with poets fancy,
Sits in a blissful dream
Waiting her lords returning,
In her eyes the love-light's beam.
The mother, wrinkled and white-haired,
Leans on the window-sill,
a smile on her sanity visage,

Which Shall II Bee

Few persons are able to philosophize
on the reason why course of action
should be regarded as right or as
wrong. But any one ought to be able
to look broadly at results and surround
ings. just wherein the evil of certain
occupations or amusements may lie is
not an easy problem for the average
Christian to solve. But every one has
seen, or can see, the interest OF certain
Christians in Christian service decrease
in proportion as their interest in GER
tain worldly occupations increases; and
every one can see that, in proportion as
ones interest in spiritual things in
creases, his interest in certain worldly
things decreases. Of course, there is
a reason why the two are always on op-
posite ends OF the balance But it ought
to be enough for most persons to know
that, when one goes up, the other goes
down. And then the simple question
is: Which of your interests would you
have to rise, which to fall?-S S. Times.

BE STRONG.

Be strong to-day; the world needs men
OF nerve and muscle, heart and brain,
To war for Truth and conquer Wrong.
The fight Is on; the foes combine;
The order passes down the line:
"Quit you like men; be strong"
BE strong; the world hath also need
OF feet to ache and hearts to bleed,
Burdens there are to bear along,
But, though the end we may not see,
IT'S not the meanest destiny
To bear and to be strong.
Be strong, but not in SELF Go whence
The breathings OF Omnipotence
Shall sweep the nerve,strings full ant

And from their impulse shall arise
Those deep celestial harmonies
That comfort and make strong.
And Patience, too, must come, to rest
Within thy striving, throbbing breast
That thinks tomorrow all too long,
Thus filling out in breadth and length
The perfect character-,or strength
Unbridled is not strong.
Yes. Right must win, since God is just;
Our hardest lesson is to trust
But His great plan still moves along
To-day is but the chrysalis
That holds tomorrow; feeling this,
Be patient and be strong.
Each hath his mission. II 1t be
My lot to toll but not to see
The fruits which to my toll belong,

My humblest task shall glorify,
And he shall make me strong.
