MAN FROM MEXICO
SCORES A HIT

The Ellefords successfully produced
The Man From Mexico last evening
at the Orpheum. The burden of the
play fell on George Hernandez as Fftz-
hue and he is to be complimented up
on his performance. Chas. Elder
scored a decided hit as Timothy Cook
and his makeup was excellent.
Pietro Sosso's Majors was a clever
performance. Vim. Marion made
Lovean a prominent part. Won Bulow
Bismarck Schmidt is character that
seems to fit VIM. Daul His dialect was
also good. Albert Fent was satisfac-
tory as Edward Farrer and Frank
Howe as Richard Dutton showed
very nice appreciation of character.
Mrs Fitzhue was played by Auda Due
who dressed and looked the part of
the suspicious wife. Myrtle Selwyn
satisfactorily fulfilled the requirements
of Nettie Majors and caught on with
her song. Grace Lamont made the
most of Sallie Oracle and Anna Dodge
as Miranda made the most of a small
part.
1.-THE Man From Mexico will hold
forth again tonight and "A Woman's
Sacrifice" will be given Wednesday
evening.

Fidoc1. the great French detective,
had 50 excellent memory for names
and faces that after having seen a
criminal once and learned his name he
meyer forgot him, but would often iden-
tify him under the most subtle dis
suises. a French forger once escaped
from custody. went abroad and remain
ed for eleven years. In the meantime
he became quite bald and lost IN eye
and part of his nose In drunken
brawl. Fancying that no one could
detect him., he returned to Paris and
went boldly about the streets; but, be-
Ing arrested on suspicion, he was
brought before vidocq. who ut once
recognized him and sent him back to
work OUT his term.

VARIETY IN CHEWING.
Gum and Tobacco Are Not the Only
Ninterlnls Utilized

Gum chicle. which forms the basis of
most American chewing gums, Is by no
means the only chewing material.
though chewing gum has spread over
allarge portion OF the world.
Among the old fashioned the gum of
the spruce tree Is still In greater favor.
and druggists near the great spruce
belts drive thriving trade In the brown
Jumps.
Although the chiclc comes from the
tropics. 1t Is seldom used as chewing
gum there. uncured rubber being the
fashion. In Peru .'cuca," or cocoa
leaves, form the staple chew, the plant
being powerful stimulant, since from
its Leaves cocaine Is extracted. In the
cast the betel nut is chewed In prefer
ence. the nut being prepared with lime.
10 1t might be accorded the place OF
first prominence, since because Of the
congestion Of population practically
one-tenth OF the human race give it
their preference.
One Of the oldest chews Is the leaden
bullet which the English soldier used
to chew before the introduction of the
jacketed bullets now in use. They de-
clared that 1t lessened their thirst and
TO some extent deadened their hunger
on long marches.
And then there is tobacco.

CHOCOLATE.
II Was n Luxury In This Country In

in America read:

and sells chocolate which he will war
rant to he good and takes cocoa to
grind. Those who may please to favor
him with their custom may depend up
on being we'll served, and at very
cheap rate"
This notice appeared In the Essex
Gazette of Massachusetts on the 18th
OF June, I771. five years before the
signing Of the Declaration of Independ-
epce. Despite Mr.. Trask's assurance
that his rate was cheap. chocolate was
very expensive and beyond the purse Of
any but the wealthy folk. Wouldn't
they be surprised to see how generally
chocolate is sold these days In packages
rs cheap rs penny?
When the Spanish soldier Cortes con-
quered Mexico in 1919 he found the
people very fond of drink called
chocolate" This was served to the
ruler Montczuma In n cup of solid gold.
When the Spaniards went home they
introduced this drink into their coun.
try, but 1t remained very expensive.
The secret Of Its preparation was never
allowed to get out of Spain. Now 1t ia
the cheapest article OF food and drink
we have.

When the Word "Lunch" 1Nsn Eirst
Uaed 1t Meant u 'Lump."
"A 'lunch," etymologically, is Just a
lump. In the sixteenth century a
"lunch Of bacon" meant merely d slice
or hunk OF 1t. So B,irns speaks of
bread and cheese dealt about in
Lunches" and Scott records that 'little
Benjie was ramming huge luncheon
Of pie crust into his mouth" While In
modern times "lunch" is an abbrevla-
tion from luncheon" the latter was
originally an elongation Of "lunch.' A
philologlst shows, how the old moon
shenk," noon drink, came to mean noon
eating, and to appear as "nunsheon,"
and the development thereafter of
luncheon" from "lunch" was very
natural.
Curious changes Of words sometimes
take place between two languages.
Thus English has borrowed the French
"poseur'' and has given to France
''snob" In trade. Frenchmen have
