INDUSTRIOUS COW
Bovine that Had the Audacityto
Stand in Front Of the Pres
ident's Train.
ONLY RESULT. BEEF wfhT VERY HIGH.

But yesterday a COW vas roaming
the ranges about Chapelle as content
ed and purpOseless, presumably. as
any COW could be. Now the COW non
| est. but for a brief moment this
morning she got mixed up with the
destinies of the nation most inextrica'
bly, and po~rtentiously. Why this par
ticular bovine quadruped should have
| placed herself out Of sight behind q
curve just as the train carrying the
president Of these United States came
tearing along at full speed, may never
be told. But she did. Therein lies
the claim for distinction which this
COW may ask of posterity. OF
| course, had the train been derailed, as
it might have been; had Teddy, the
peoples idol undergone another siren
uous experience and added one more
scar to the legion he bears, had any
of the august party been killed, MAIN
ed or badly scared, that COW would
have become immortal.
However, nothing like that happen
ed. What were the feelings of the en-
| gineer, for the time the guardian Of
the president, when he saw that crit
ter standing in the middle of the track
a few yards away, a better be mag
ined than described. But the man be
hind the lever couldn't do a thing, but
stick to his post, and he stuck. The
COW didn't go under the wheels. The
pilot picked her up clean and SEM hel
flying through the air for a distance
of twenty feet. She fell with the dull
est kind of a thud, a victim to a mos
unkind fate. Still, it is not likely thai
the animal could, if she had tried
chosen a method of departing this
mundane sphere that would have
brought to her more eclat. Her un
timely fate will be told in many parts
of the earth and she will be remem
bered as the critter that had the te
merity to stand in front of the trail
bearing the fearless Rough Rider pres
ident and his distinguished party.

SNUFF HABIT GROWING.
Consumption During 1908 Will Be
100000 Pounds.

According to the statement of a man
living in this borough who is acquainted
with the snuff trade, the article is being
used more and more nowadays than lt
has been in the past ten years.
It has been said that many people in
Manhattan and Brooklyn society have
become snuff takers In the past fVe
years, and statistics show a great in
crease in the consumption of the ''sneez-
ing powder"
The production of snuff in this eoun-
try viii amount in the present year to
about 100000 pounds. In 1890 it was
1921, 000 AS the figures show, the pro
duction has more than doubled in
twelve years, and it is increasing every
day. Americans, as a rule, however, are
not snuff takers. though it is true that
there are portions of the United States
in which the people do use snuff extern
siVely Much of 1t is consumed in the
south. In fact, history shows thar
SOutherners have always used great
deal of snuff. more so. probably. than
residents of other parts of the country
The greater amount of snuff used in
the United States is consumed by peo-
pie Of foreign birth. Worcester, Mass.
takes nearly 100000 pounds of snuff a
year, or, in other words, a ton a week.
The presence Of large number OF
Swedes and Norwegians, who work in
the iron and steel mills is said to be the
| cause of this.
The inhabitants of Minneapolis and
St. Paul together consume about 200, 00u
pounds of snuff yearly and the users
of it in Minnesota are numbered bV the
thousands. In Chicago the consumption
Of snuff amounts to about 500 00C
pounds annually. Formerly snuff was
imported in large quantities, but now
almost all the snuff used here is manu-
featured in this country. and it Is
claimed that it is superior to the for
/ eign product
A snuff produced. from perique to-
bacco in Louisiana IS unrivaled. It's
fame has spread all over the world, and
it IS the choice of all experts It has
found its way into the Vatican in Rome
and has for years been supplied to the
/ Sultan Of Turkey It is said that Kine
/ Edward of Great Britain has revived
the custom of snuff taking.
/ The Scotch were once great snuff
takers, but it is said that they are not
so much addicted TO the habit as for
Inerly.
Large fortunes have been made botE
in Scotland and Ireland by the sale oil
snuff Old snuff takers used to pride
themselves on their snuff boxes, somt
of which were of silver and gold anc
adorned with precious stones.-Brooklyr
