It's a Great Industry.

Superintendent of the Census Porter
recently received a letter suggesting
that statistics be gathered relative to
the chewing-gum habit. A visitor at
one of the uptown hotels last week is
the proprietor of chewing-gum fac
tory, which is one of the smallest and
least important in the country, he said:
'"Thus far this year we have made
and sold $4OO, 900 worth of the stuff.
We employ 80 men and girls, and we
ship to jobbing houses in every large
city in the country. There are in the
United States alone fully dozen large
factories, employing as many people
as we do, and in most cases more The
annual output of these factories will
average $3.50, 600 per year, making a
total production of more than s., O0O,-
600, and there are enough smaller con-
fectionery establishments to increase
the annual production to at least &c.

ATWATER,

The W. C. T. U. was favored with three lee

Franklin county, o. This scribe was at the one

was very coed. Miss HUNS lead is TIE daughter
of Methodist preacher, and is we'll educated
and well informed on fashionable conduct and
follies. and can express herself in good style on
subjects that are seldom spoken of pr blicly,
but ought to be. Preaching that alludes to sin
in a general way is not as effective as where
particular sins are mentioned It is the duty OF
ministers to preach against every sin that
keeps people away from conversion to right
eous ness. Somewhat as Layman " said a few
years ago in the Republican Democrat: ct
fights me. and l must fight it" Aggressive
preaching is the kind demanded. Mr.. Finney
says to present the arguments to sinners fully
and freely and then pray over them in order to
convert them One will not do without the
other. Pastors need not be afraid to admit this
young lady TO their pulpits there is no alloy
in her lectures.

A FOXY THIEF TRAPPED.
He Pleaded Somnambulism, and Being
from Chicago, Got Free.

We had been stopping at hotel at
Des Moines for two or three DAYS when
two men arrived by the same train.
One was drummer for New York
jewelry house and the other apparent
ly country parson of meek and lowly
ways. That was the way we sized him
up; but the drummer, being naturally
suspicious of all men, contended that
the supposed parson was some thief
after his valise of valuable samples.
To convince him to the contrary, | took
the opportunity to introduce myself to
the other man and draw him out, and
he presented me with card on which
was printed his name, Rev. Joseph
Smith, and he claimed to hail from q
town about twenty miles away. His
congregation had planned some church
entertainment. and he had come up to
buy some needed tixings. That's all
there was to it, except he hoped and
trusted that | was not walking in the
broad way which leadeth to destruction
and his offer to come to my room and
kneel with me in prayer, was per-
fectly satisfied that he was all wool
and a yard wide, and returned to so
report.
The drummer had his own ideas,
however. He took his sample case to
his room, but afterward slyly changed
it to another. Then he vacated his
room for one across the hall, and in
the vacated room, just in front of the
bed, set fox trap. He wanted a bear
trap, but couldn't get one in town.
When all was ready we went to bed,
four or five of US having rooms down
the hall from the parsons. As we
passed his door we heard the good man
reading aloud from his Bible; l felt
like knocking on his do, I and apollo
gizing for the pigheadedness of the
drummer.
About midnight there was a sudden
yell, followed by the clanking of chains
which aroused every one of us, and as
soon as we could turn out we discov-
cred that the parson had been caught
in the fox trap. He had stepped his
right foot into the jaws, and was sit
ting on the bed and staring into va
cancy when we found him. He had
the cheek to declare that he was walk
ing in his sleep, and seemed much
grieved when we asked him how it
was that he had unlocked the door with
a skeleton key. In the morning when
arraigned in court his plea was SOM
nambulism, and what did the Court do
but order him turned loose! In doing
so His Honor explained:
''About ten years ago l was found in
a mans barn saddling and bridling his
5000 horse. 1t was case of somnam-
bulism on my part, but they wickedly
forced me to pay $500 to settle the
case. then determined never to do
any one like injustice, and the pris
oner is honorably discharged"
Half a day later it transpired that
the 'good man" was noted Chicago
thief, but he had cheesed the racket
and was off.-N. Y. San.

The Letter That is Being Sent Gu

VIC. Il. U.
Among the circular letters being sent broad.
cast over the country by the Nom Partisan
National Women's Christian Temperance
Union, is the following:
Dear Christian Women of the Nation Know
ing that some women are now doing temper
ance work under limitations that prevent their
entering heartily into the service required; thu
many have dropped out of the ranks for the
same cause and are giving their time and
strength to other branches of the philanthropic
and Christian work rather than to this, which
had stronger claim upon tn en- other things
being equal; and knowing also that the great
majority even of Christian women have never
engaged in temperance work, we are constrain-
ed to appeal to you in behalf of the work to
which God seems to have specially called the
women of this age.
If you are not already identified with some
temperance organization with which you are in
active sympathy. we would urge upon your i'm
mediate attention the claims of the society we
represent, as affording the widest scope for in
dividual liberty of opin on, and imIneasurable
opportunity for doing good
Every intelligent Christian woman of today
must recognize the demands of this work upon
her thought, her earnest prayers. and her per-
severing effjrt. The time has fully come when
she that gathercth not with the temperance
hos host is seattePesi abroad 9 neutral position can
woman as for or against the temperance reform
e therefore beg of you to ia ze steps at once to
form a bond of union among women of like
TEN perance faith.
1he partisanship of the old organic ttion has
been fully demonstrated in the record of the
past few years; the non-partisanship of the
new national union is set torch in its constitu-
tion and platform of principl In one or the
other every woman who va'aa the safety of
her own dear ones. or the cu,.i-n veal which
makes us all akin. must find uel ,rue place. We
have no disposition to ALLEVIATE any woman
from the methods of her choice but we do want
whose INDICTMENT thu
in full accord with ours. to put their labor in
line with their convictions. believing that by SO
doing they will accomplish most for God and
humanity
Whole-hearted service is what this cause de-
mandS, and this cannot be given unless judg-
ment and conscience are hand in hand with
effort.
Ifours is the platform you can fully endorse,
then let us hear that you are ready for service.
