CHEWING GUM AND WRINKLES.
A Habit that Makes It's Dcvotecs
Prematurely Old.


The surest way to gain the appear
ance OF premature old age is by chew.
ing gum. 1t Is impossible that the gro
tesque and unnatural exercise OF the
facial muscles, such as Is required by
the constant chewing Of gum, should
not only throw the mouth out OF shape,
but sooner or later bring on wrinkles.
"The first indications" says doctor,
"are little fine lines just below the tenn.
pies. Then deep. ugly line begins TO
take up permanent residence about the
corner Of the mouth, and next in the
cheeks. The plumpest cheek that ever
bore a rose will soon wrinkle under the
force of this ugly gum chewing habit.
As to whether gum chewing aids d.
gestion,' or Is good for the throat. am
not arguing. lam prepared to say that
as breath perfume the best chewing
gum ever marketed ia but slightly su-
perior to garlic or chewing tobacco.
THAT, however, is another story.
What l wanted to call attention to IL
the fact that the chewing gum habit
brings on premature wrinkles. Any
girl that doubts the assertion may con-
suit her mirror or the faces Of some Of
her tutti frutti friends"

suspected design on their paE to
draw him out and discover his real
feelings. To deceive them he advised
resistance, and declared his readiness
to take his gun and go on scouting
expedition.
His offer was accepted by the cap
tain of the Home Guard, and the un-
fortunate man armed himself and
started out through the woods. after
first assuring his wife that there was
no danger and that he was only play
ing game Of bluff.
The full story never came out. but
when Rarlow's dead body was brought
home the men who accompanied 1t said
that he had been surprised in the forest
by some Federal soldiers. who sup
posd that he was about to fire upon
them from ambush and they had upon
the spur Of the moment shot him Town.
They carried him to the first plan
ton on their road. where he died from
the effects Of his wound. Some Of the
neighbors who We're present informed
the officer in command that his men
had killed man who. though newly
imported Yankee, was a mighty good
Confederate. At the same time, how
ever. they stated that the Federal.
would meet with no organized resist
ance in that vicinity.
The Federals visited the Barlow plan
tation and carried off all the cotton
stored there, and caused the negroes to
scatter in every direction. the ma jor-
ity Of them heading for Montgomery.
where they expected to live life of
ease at the expense of the Govern
ment.
Mrs. Barlow had the sympathy Of
the community until she put in her
claim for her cotton. pleading that she
and her husband were strong Union
people and had never been genuine
Confedemtes.
An outburst of indigna ton followed,
and many interesting facts came to
light showing the difference between
the politics of the Barlows in public
and in the privacy of their own home.
The widow lost her cotton ella i'm. but
she sold her land and moved North
among her husbands relatives, and
made a reputation as bitter South
hater.
Barlow was the last man killed by
the Federals in Alabama. and the pc
culiar circumstances of his death caus-
ed the incident to be the subject Of con-
siderable talk.
He was bright clever fellow"
said an old citizen who told me the
story, "and if he had not been killed
by the Yankees 1 verify believe that
our district would have sent him to
Congress on account Of his red-hot Sc
cession talk. But when the truth came
out it was shock to everybody

Grants Goodness.

While General Grant, then lieuten-
ant. was counting the lady whom he
married. there occurred an event to
shudder. A writer in the Midland
Monthly. describing an Sadventure
which the young lieutenant and Miss
Dent met with. says:
When the water is high in the Missis-
sippi the swift current abrades the
banks, and they frequently ''cave in"
for several yards or rods at time.
In early spring. in one of their after
noon explorations, Lieutenant Grant
and the young lady We're riding along
the bank of the river. passing from one
cove or valley to 'the mouth Of another.
Miss Dent was nearest the water
Suddenly Miss Dents horse began to
sink. The earth had given way under
his hind feet. Grants horse was close
beside hers. In an instant he saw that
her horse was sinking into the awful
abyss!
Grants cool head and splendid horse
manship here had opportunity to dis
play themselves. Quick as a flash he
leaned over, threw his right arm
around Miss Dents waist, and drew
her to him as her horse disappeared in
the seething and murky eddy that a
moment later boiled and surged in an
CRY tumult over the place where bank
and horse had disappeared from sight!
Fortunately the earth parted between
the two animals, leaving Grants horse
on solid ground. Lifting and firmly
holding Miss Dent. and applying the
spur to his horse, he was on safe
ground in moment: then he gently
lowered her to the earth-all this with
out a word from 1.-The silent man." or
a scream or murmur from her.
AS he fastened back to rescue her
horse she stood holding the bride Of
his, outwardly as composed as if moth
ing had happened.
Her horse had disappeared. Grant
followed downstream and hailed a
boatman In skiff, who found the
horse swimming several hundred yards
below. amid driftwood and debris. He
landed the animal at place where it
could climb the bank, and 1t was soon
on safe ground. none the worse for the
fright and the bath.
"Johnny" and "Yank.''
Every little while new story is told
which illustrates the nonchalant way
in which the soldiers of the Federal
and Confederate armies used to talk
across the lines during the Civil War.
During the days, he says, when Sher-
mans army was operating in front of
Atlanta. Hoods Confederate command
had been thrown again and again upon
Sberman's lift wing. only to be hurled
back each time torn and bleeding. One
morning. after this had been going on
for several days. the outposts OF the
two armies found themselves within
talking distance, and began to con.
verse as usual.
Hello, Johnny" said Federal ser
geant.
"Hello. Yankv'

There is no surer test of health
than that of growth. 1t is true in
matters of spirit as well as in those
of body. One in sound religious
condition continually becomes
stronger and more efficient. Things
once difficult of mastery and per-
picking become easy and simple of
understanding. The term "grace'
as used in the Bible has various
meanings. One of the most pro
minent and important is the free
love and favor of God 1t is moi
only possible but important that
every Christian should CONSTANT y
grow more and more acceptable to
God. Jesus as a child grew in wis
dom and stature and in favor will
God and man. So should every
young convert become more and
more acceptable to the Lord.
But grace also means graciousness
This is the disposition, the inward
life of the heart, which one acquire:
by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit
1t is a gentleness of mind and tenn.
per and deed and sweet gentility OF
nature more refined and cultured
than can be acquired in any other
school than that of Christ.
This refinement of spirit reappears
in the outward manner and sounds
in the speech. This is not the out
ward polish of mere politeness. 1t
is not courtly veneer which covers
so often an inner eoarseness. 1t is
genuine soul goodness, the root of
all courtesy. The true need of the
time is less attention to the out er
form and more cultivation of tn e
inner grace. The training of the
dancing master and ballroom may
give gracefulness 20 the movements
but nothing but the deep inspiration
of learning of the souls Master and
practice Of loving service for Him
can give the grace of godlike nobility

MURDER IN THIS COUNTRY


On a recent Sabbath the preach.
ers of South Carolina directed their
sermons against the crime of muir
der which has been for the past few
years rapidly increasing in that
State. One, the Rev. John Kershaw,
of Charleston, gave some very start
ling statistics He said since the ter
mination of the war for the Union
there had been tried in the courts of
that State approximately $3.50 cases
of homicide and 5,695 cases of as
slult with intent to kill, and proba-
bly, 1000 other cases of homicide in
Guiding lynchings. justifable and
excusable killings thrown out by
grand juries and district attorneys.
He calculated ON this basis that
OuhihB OhO pdoO ohih1y -0WO J0dES
there had been more men murdered
in South Carolina than the State
lost in battle during the four years
wIr. This frightfnl showing is
fully justified by the facts for this
year the average homicides in that
State will be about Is to each 1OO,-
900 of populati IN, and for the whole
country the average will be less than
twelve.
The remedy may be hard to find,
bat greater certainty of punish
mont, more speedy trials, and less
chlnce of ultimate escape or pardon,
ami a higher education among the
masses will do much to bring about
a more desirable situation not only
in that State but in the whole coun

PORT JERVIS TWIN DEVILS.
Rev. Daniel Halloran has been
giving a series af Sunday lectures at
the Opera H )use in Port Jervis, and
in the one delivered last Sunday he
characterized the Twin devils which
are most rampant in that town as
gambling and licentiousness. In
temperance is usually considered as
occupying a pretty "devilish" good
position in the front rank of evil
but according to the speaker it is
almest wholly eclipsed there by the
others. If his arraignment is rea-
sonably founded on facts it would
seem that our neighbor is in need
of dose of the kind of reformation
mentioned in Gen XIX-24. Our great

be that such visitation might render
