MEN CHEW GUM TOO.

Feminine Observer Makes a Discovery
That Vindicates Her Sex.
Is the chewing gum habit purely
feminine?
l think not now, though the time is
not so far gone when the practice was
limited to children and young misses.
II is different now / base my caloula-
ton ON a recent episode that occurred
ON train leaving the Grand Central
station.
Hardly had the cars started than the
train boy made his appearance. Toea
person, irrespective of age or sex, q
package of gum was handed. The wom-
en- took the small packages with an air
that betokened thorough knowledge OF
the contents. The men handled the foil
wrapped sticks gingerly. 1t was evil
dent also that they had seen them before.
One old, bearded fellow, who doubt
less thought his age an apology for his
actions, soon had his jaws working,
and others followed his example There
were 30 men in the car, fewer women,
but a generous supply of children. The
women expected would buy the sticks
and divide with the children, but as
surely the habit has outgrown feminini-
ty when 16 men out of a total of 30 in
dulge in public in chewing gum.
On inquiry the train boy told me
that the percentage of men buyers was
much larger in that purely masculine
retreat, the smoking car. tits the best
selling article we carry" he said, "and
the men use more of it than the wom-

But the Reporter Failed to Get a Big

81 once had an experience, said an
old newspaper man at the Press club to
a reporter, with the late Senator
Vance which shall never forget. 1t was
during Crisp's first contest for the speak
ership, and, as you all probably remem-
Der, every newspaper man in town was
hustling for inside news The sources
of this, as usual in such cases, were very
few, and Senator Vance, who was act
ing in the capacity of an advisor to the
nominating caucus, had to spend most
of his time lodging journalists.
$50 wary did he become that he dis
continued taking his lunch in the senate
restaurant and had it served in COM
mittee room. One day, however, l
caught glimpse of him passing through
one of the lower corridors on the house
side. Determined not to let him escape
me- at once hastened forward, and in
the most innocent manner possible be-
gan asking him about his health, which
was rather bad at the time. He answer

when I said:
E" oh, by the way, senator, who do
you think will get the nomination.
T" L don't know exactly, he replied,
but they will have to fight if they want
to win.
Certain now of my information, l
began to see the letter was going to re-
ceive from the home Office, after they
had published my big SCOOP telling me
in the most fiattering terms that the
paper had decided to raise my salary on
account Of my good work.
" Which side, senator? asked, al
most in whisper for fear some one
would be lurking in the dark recesses
and hear the reply which was to make
me the most noted hustler for news in
the ranks of journalism.

peared in the door of a committee room.

An irritable, nervous rider or driver
makes an irritable, nervous horse. 1t
mover fails We have known horse to
spring aside and crush man to death
against the side Of stall simply because
its owner was in the habit of entering
in such way that he frightened the
horse and got it into the habit of jump

came into its stall. If you will observe,
you will see that an excitable, high

There are instances ON record in
which mares have carried foals as long
as IS months Thirteen and 4 months
are not uncommon. Female animals
bred for the first time frequently carry
their young longer than the regulation
period.
Range sheep raisers are not going to
breed mutton sheep exclusively. They
say the wild grasses on which their
wool sheep thrive are unfit to produce
the highest order of mutton. Perhaps,
too, the skin and bono wintering over
that these same range sheep get has as
much to do as the wild grasses with pro-
ducing poor article Of sheep meat.
There is a good outlook for raisers of
high grade mutton in the older states.
The small lunches of sheep that can be
comfortably cared for in winter are suit
able for the farms, and from them will
come the best mutton. Meantime it Is
to be remembered that mutton is be-
coming constantly more popular, partio-
ularly as a hot weather meat. The rea-
son people used to have prejudice
against it was that they did not often
get any that was fit to eat Now we are
changing that With such care as Brit
ish farmers have for centuries given
their fiocks, we begin to prove that as
good mutton as theirs can be raised in
the United States.
