A WARNING To GIRLS.

4 Half Teacupful Of Chewing Gum Found
in the Stomach Of Medical Student.
A mystery Of the morgue, which was sup
posed TO involve an unaccountable suicide by
morphine, has been solved by the discovery
that the death was caused by chewing gum,
says the San Francisco Examiner.
The victim was a young medical student
and the rather remarkable case is made more
noticeable by the fact that the boy of eighteen
years who came 10 his death through an in
ordinate passion for gum was buried the other
day in the potter's field.
An autopsy was performed and it revealed
only hard clogging of the intestines at one
place. The stomach was sent TO H. L. Miller
for analysis, and the chemist went to work
He went through all his elaborate tests for
various poisons without finding trace OF any.
He did find something unusual in the stomach.
though. and that was a half teacupful of
gum pellets. The young man had evidently
been in the habit Of chewing gum and then
swallowing it. Nearly all gum is paraffine
mixed with some fiavoring and coloring sub
stances, and parafine is an absolute neutral
body, insoluble in anything and affected by
nothing except mechanically. The wads of
gum were exactly as when swallowed. 1t
became plain that the gum, so strangely dis
posed of, had accumulated and clogged the
digestive organs. 1t had caused some pain
finally a sudden congestion of the lungs and
other organs, which quickly proved fatal.

Slowly the great clock in the hall began to

And at the same moment old Joseph rushed
into the room, his face pale with terror.
''Oh, master, master That l should have

II wanted to say good night" faltered
Cora, sinking on her knees beside him.
He folded her tenderly in his arms.
''There, now, good night, my little one,
and heaven hold you in its care"
At the same instant some sudden movement
of his daughter-in-law, as she left the room,
made him start up in his chair with cold
dew distilling on his brow.
OF what misty half-effaced shadow in the
past did it remind him?
''Give me the hot port wine, Joel" he said
neryously. ''Quick? That's right-and now
I'll go to bed!''

able TO carry into effect the section OF the new
tariff bill making al ohol used in the arts free Of

or repayment of the tax so paid
There are approximately 10000 druggists in
the United States who use alcohol 10 some ex-
tent IN the manufacture OF compounds of va

would be increased from 80 10 100 per cent under
a liberal application OF this provision Of the act

scribed by n Secretary, no appropriation is
made TO carry the provision into effect, and II

"a glance OF Cora's will win from you what

You re right there, my girl" said the
squire, laughing. I'm glad Cora didn't join
in your silly entreaties just now. or l should

But Cora's head had dropped upon the
old mans breast, and she was sobbing vio-
