Factory whistles.

A manufacturing company in Will
mington, Del, stopped its whistle 13
years ago because it was complained
of as a nuisance, and at the same time
informed its workmen that any man
who was late would be fined 25 cents.
In all the years since then only two
men have been fined for hardness,
and the question is asked, What
need is there for a noisy whistle to
call employees to work anywhereG'

Senator Gorman.s Weakness.

Senator German is very free from
the weaknesses that beset the ordi-
nary individual, but he has one dis
tinct failing. He is an inveterate
gum chewer. He chews gum in the
senate chamber, in the committee
room, on the street and at the thea
ter. He does it artistically and quiet
ly, and there are few times during
the day when there is not a piece of
gum in his mouth. He neither smokes
nor drinks. -BOston Advertiser.
