IN LATER LIFE.

Love-even under these difficult circum-
stances-is usually the foundation Of a
Vr1ezue1an marriage, for in a country
where life is so simple and inexpensive.
considerations of convenience are not as
imperative as in more sophisticated COM
rnunities AS rule, too, the marriages
are happy. The women are generally
housekeepers. Love of their children is
an absolute passion with both sexes and
forms a. very strong tie between tho
parents.
But only women Of the strongest char
acter can, in the proSrating heat, pUr.
sue any intellectual interests. As rule,
soon after marriage all the pretty accom-
nuns are abandoned, all exercise Is omit

fifteen varieties in that showcase.

Fifteen different kinds Of chew

how many varieties of that confec-

Christmas, in 1886, it occuire + to
him that peppermint candy was
a general favorite with children,
why should not peppermint fla
vored chewing gum be so? He
tried the experiment, got gratu-
itous advertisement as a compli-
ment one of the newspapers paid
to the gum upon receipt of a box
he had sent as a Christmas pres
ent, and in two years had erected
large factory, quadrupled his
working force and was from three
weeks to three months behind in
filling the orders that poured into
his office. From that time to the
present day he has employed hun
dreds of hands.
"Where does all the gum go to?
Who chews itp don't know. This
man has told me that when he went
a stranger to the city where his
success has made him one of it's
best known capitalists he had slept
under pile of straw under a via
duct. and had manufactured his
fret chewing gum on a common
kitchen table after cooking it in
the tea kettle.
1.-The man is shrewd though. /
will tell you an anecdote that illus
trates that fact. This chicle, that
Is the basis of all the best gums at
this time, was originally handled
almost wholly by three shippers in
small Mexican ports on the Gulf.
The natives gathered it from the
wild trees in the forests of South
ern Mexico and the Central Amer
lean States, and it was cheap. This
man sent an agent to Mexico os-
tensibly to see the manufactured
article, but when his trip was end
ed it was discovered to the ever
lasting sorrow of the most of the
! rest Of us that he had signed con-
tracts for the next two years out
put of these firms. Chicle at that
time, if l recollect, was selling for
% cents a pound, but before the
close of the srason the price was
$l.35 and it was difficult to get al
that. An order to put upon the
market the same large sized piece
that was then in vogue, the rest OF
US were obliged to add more sugar,
until our output would almost en-
tirely dissolve in the mouth, leav-
ing only piece of gum as large as
a pea. The result was that his
goods became actually far superior
to the general run of gums and
eventually most of the newer con-
Germs were compelled to quit.
"A Louisville firm at one time
made a good choice gum that cor
:ained some kind of an extract Of
tobacco, and l looked for phe-
nOmenal sale of their output, but
Uncle Sam declared that he was
entitled to the regular revenue tax
for manufactured tobacco upon
the article, and that. of course,
made it an Improbable product at
any price it was possible to obtain
for it.
"It's big business but I'm afraid
it's being overdone."
