The gentleman thus addressed was a
druggist, whose place of business is on
North Clark street. near Lincoln park
He reached in the showcase in reply to his
customers request. and handed him a
package Of chewing gum. The customer
slowly unwrapped the tinfoil, took out a
strip Of the favorite American Jaw-mover,
and after examining it curiously for a
moment, put 1t in his mouth and walked
out
That's the third Englishman to buy
chewing gum Of me since I've been in bus

I'm an Englishman myself, and there

side who deal with me- Englishmen are
rather slow about taking up new ways
but in the course Of time they get to
adopt most of our American habits, ex-
cept that of gum chewing. They can't see
any philosophy In working your jaws over
something that isn't food. There is where
the practical side of the British character
comes out strong, you know. Possibly
that young chap, whom have known
ever since he came over here, about a
year ago has been told that gum is good
for Indigestion, although an Englishman

of the revival Of so old profession as that

One intrepid daughter Of PENNSYLVANIA,
says the New York Times. has recently
been granted patent for an Improvement
in corset coolers.
The articles upon which more patents
have been granted for various improve
ments than any other IS the corset The
evolution Of the garment, as demonstrated
in the history of patents, forms by itself
an interesting study. During the reign Of
hoops hundreds OF applications were eX-
amined and patents issued for triiing
modification or accessories TO the wire
cages, while an almost equal number was
refused. Mrs Lavinia II. Foy of WOrces-
ter, Mass, sets forth her claims as fol-
lows: Much annoyance and difficulty arc
now experienced by wearers of hoOpskirts
as they are now constructed, in conse-
quence Of the frequent turning over of the
bottom hoops ] remedy this objection by
placing a piece or strip of glazed cloth
on each side of the hoops, and place be-
tween pieces of glazed cloth pieces OF
stiff paper or other substance TO stiftea
and prevent bottom hoops from turning
over, without destroying proper elasticity
Also. as the bottom of the hoops and the
supports are apt to soil, and both time and
money have to be spent to remedy this
difficulty, I accomplish that ohject by the
use of glazed cloth in combination with
the use of hoops covered with nbrous ma

AS a matter of fact women read more
than men-and read recklessiy. When a
man takes up book to read he generally
does so with more reason than a woman.
Having less time than she has at his dis
posal for recreation he selects more
thoughtfully the books he will read. His
selections may not be either as good or
wise as hers, but he certainly does not
read as promiscuously, says woman in
the ST. Louis Republic. To start out to
select a book with the feeling of "Oh,
lust anything to kill the time, generally
brings on to place in the whirl OF lit
era ture that often makes one fairly dizzy.
NV observations from different library
corners have led me TO finally and fully
conclude that much literature is sought
with simply the killing time idea in mind.
Almost anything is chosen, and one may
expect to end in being entirely Wide of
the mark when drawing differences OF
character from what one sees library pat
rons reading at the smoothly polished
tables of library reading rooms, or even
the hurriedly selected books that are
borne off home.
young women you may chance to find
reading in as many places in the Libraries,
in the street cars or in the shops and
offises, and see the manner of books they
are reading; then you will know just how
wide of the mark your guessing may
come. You can tell at a glance that the
most of them are reading each particular
book more. because it has been dubbed
popular than because of any real inter-
est they feel in its particular style.
Frequently the woman who is reading
has been urged on to doing so because of
an unRovernable curiosity to ''see what
it is like" There turks in many book
a veritable wolf in sleeps clothing;
theory entirely contrary to mans and
Gods laws, and yet so cleverly put that
it is fascinating in the extreme. Such
books quickly go from the big library
booksellers shops. nores the pity
A thousand and one observations you
may make from library corner that
are interesting, but this one fact that
has lately come TO me while l looked
on" at present holds a great deal of in
terest for me. All the people who are
reading vicious books are not-thank
.fortune-as yet vicious. and though such
books may still continue to come, the
woman who Wills to pass them by I'M

At any rate the elopement was
postponed until two or three weeks
ago.
According to information gained by
The GAZETTE through certain St. Paul
parties Gleason told the girl that he
had been sheriff of Redwood county,
recorder Of the city and was very
popular here. A friend of the girl
advised her not to elope with him but
the advise was evidently not needed.
Gleason was here about two months
ago for the last time. While here he
sold all of his household goods to H.
A. Baldwin of the Redwood County
Bank. Many of the articles were the
property of Mrs. Gleason, but Mr..
Baldwin was undoubtedly not aware
of that fact, and when a gentleman
attempted last Thursday to recover
her articles he found that the laws of
Minnesota recognized as valid sale
the transfer of household property by
the husband.
The gentleman also gave it out very
emphatically that if Mrs. Gleason
ever learned the whereabouts of Glea-
son she would Immediately lodge one
or more complaints against him, on
just what grounds the gentleman re-
fused to divulge, but it is understood
to be in connection with the incendiar-
ism of the A. Birum residence. It is
now stated that Gleason, claiming to
be sick, insisted upon sleeping alone
up stairs that night. After one or
two o'clock that morning he came
down stairs and got into the bed
there. Later Mrs. Gleason heard
what she supposed to be the cat
scratching, but which was in reality
the fire burning up stairs. Gleason
Quoted her for awhile, but she in
sisted on letting the cat out. Gleason
finally got up and saw the fire burn
ing we'll up stairs and told his wife.
Gleason's history here is almost too
we'll known to warrant a repetition at
length. Our readers will recall how
he went into business with Beard, his
election to the city recordership after
wards, and then the defalcation ex-

posed by The GAZETTE and defended
by our contemporary, through the col
umns of which he attempted to de-
fend himself in the very poorest
language. They will remember his
appointment as deputy sheriff under
Blethen, an appointment now said to
have been made by reason of Gleason
holding the whip of Blethen's alleged
heinous offense over the head of the
sheriff. They will remember how,
just as soon as Blethen was elected
last fall, Gleason commenced to whis-
per about Blethen, how he conspired
with J. L. Byram for the position of
sheriff, how he secured the promises
of Commissioners Pease and Arnold,
how, afterwards, the Byram gang
saw that Gleason's appointment would
not be good politics, and deserted
him for E. A. Pease. Then, it is we'll
to state, Gleason's partner, Beard,
who, it is alleged, Gleason was to ap-
point deputy sheriff, becoming en-
ragged at Byram and his gang, leaked
to one or two parties of the whole
consummate and outrageous scheme,
hitherto carried on in secret, and the
scheme was given to the people of
Redwood county. the gang was over
thrown and the people were vindi-

It is doubtful whether the case has

Regarding the insurance of the

thority that no insurance has been
paid on the building. Threats of
suits we're made some time ago but
they appeared to have been dropped.

ST.. Pierce, the attorney, whose son,
w. L. Pierce, disappeared Nov. 10

night that the young man had not yet

believe that he has just broken away once
and for all, from those associations. That,
in my opinion, was his only reason for leav-
ing Redwood. I have made inquiry, and 1
can't find that he ever did anything that
would prevent his coming back there. He
simply saw that it would be better for him to
change his associations, and he took that
way of doing it..
This explanation is much more ra-
tional than it appears at first sight, be-
cause young Pierce would seem to in
herit from some eccentric ancestor a
disposition towards mysterious disap-
pearance. His brother, Richard A.
Pierce, displayed the same love of dis.

It has turned out that he has had
with him all the while, or nearly all
the time that he was residing in Or
tonville, the member of the demi-
monde before mentioned, who he was
introducing as his wife to the elite of
Ortonville. At any rate Mrs. Gleason,
who is now residing with the parents
of Gleason near Red Wing, was never
at Ortonville, and Gleason had the
nerve to introduce some other woman
as his wife.
Mrs. Gleason, not hearing from her
spouse for long time, wrote to iv-
cry man at Ortonville inquiring as to
his whereabouts. It is we'll to state
here that the liveryman was the pro-
|prietor of the livery stable at which
Gleason kept his team whenever he
stayed in Ortonville. The liveryman
replied to the letter of Mrs. Gleason,
in effect, that he had not seen Gleason
for a long time, in fact, mot since
Mrs. Gleason was with him at Bailey's
in Ortonville."
The letter confirmed the suspicious
already excited in Mrs. Gleason by
past actions of Gleason and the poor
woman, at loss to know just what
her future step should be, sought for
ADVICE from the parents of Gleason,
highly respected citizens residing
near Red Wing. They Immediately.
