orandfather's Odd Habit Had Embar.
RAISING Consequences.
"My grandfather had one curious
habit" said Virginia woman. "He
chewed the. rag constantly. I don't
mean 1t in a fgurative sense, either
mean it literally. When he was about
80 the doctors persuaded him to give
up the use of tobacco. and he used a
rag instead. Grandmother used to
cut worn-out tablecloths into little
squares and lay them in a drawer
ready for grandfather. When he was
going out anywhere she tucked sever
al into his faistcoat pocket. He chew.
ed from daylight till dark. Once
grandfather and I went to the funeral
of a great man here in town. Grand
mother was i'll that day and forgot to
tell me about the rags. We sat we'll
up toward the front, and grandfather
was no sooner seated than he put two
fingers into his waistcoat pocket. No
rag. He searched through all his
pockets, one after the other. No rag
anywhere. He began to wriggle about
in his seat uneasily. He was IN mis-
cry with nothing to wriggle his jaws
on. The service went on, and when
the choir rose to sing l saw one of
grandfather's hands disappear under
his waistcoat His eyes were fixed on
the choir and he looked determined.
There was a fartissimo burst of mu-
sic, and then, in the moment of abso-
lutte stiffness which followed, every
body heard something tear. Grand
father turned a vivid purple, but when
he raised his head after the prayer a
little later, his jaws were at work. -
