TO BREAK OFF BAD HABITS.
Druggist Explains Why Many Men
Are Chewing Gum.

DO l sell much chewing gum? ?" said
a Denver druggist in response to an
idle question from a mar who was in
the store waiting for a car. We'll, 1
should say | did. And, queer as IL may
seem, a great many of those who buy
II are men. Why do they get It? Well,
I'll tell you. They buy it to use in
breaking themselves OF habits. A man
will think he's smoking too much and
will want to quit. He'll drop tobacco
and take up chewing gum. The gum
gives his mouth something to do and
through its use he finds It easier to
keep away from cigars. Another man
will quit drinking. He wants some
thing to do with his mouth-in fact
must have something. Therefore he
takes to chewing gum. | have even
known dope fiends to use gum in order
to quit using the drugs. Gum is
great thing as a habit breaker. Why
some day | even expect to see me
chew gum in order to quit gambling
fighting with their wives, etc. Womer
chew lots of gum, but men use almos'
as much."-Denver Post.

SOCIETY PAST AND PRESENT.
Gush About "oood Old Times" Has No
Real Foundation.

After-dinner speakers are making
much OF the old-fashioned honesty.
They very properly bemoan present
corruption, graft, chicanery and the
entire list of evils. which, with time
honored Jokes, make up the stock In
trade of after-dinner speakers. They
would make men %virtuous by making
them like their grandfathers.
But what inspiration lies In this
eulogy of grandparents? 1t is always
easy to see a saint in a dead relative.
Just as Il is easy to see a statesman
In a dead politician. Some OF us are
very keen to build monuments for the
prophets these very same grandpar-
ents made extremely uncomfortable.
Why talk about our ancestors hon.
esty? Why not have an honesty OF
our own? Grandfathers' virtues, like
grandfathers' clocks, may be a badge
OF responsibility, bu. in our W day
they are not always in good running
order. Our forefathers were no bet
ter than we are-indeed, to judge from
the criticism OF their fellow citizens
Of another political party. they were
a good deal worse!-The World To
Day.

FOR GOVERNOR OF TEXAS.

Cambridge, Mass. He went through
the Dallas public schools from the
first grade, graduating as class orator
in 1894 at the Dallas high school.
Entering the University Of the South
at Sewanee, Tenn, he took the degree
of bachelor of arts in 1898, and was
chosen valedictorian. From Sc
vance he went to Harvard, where he
received the degree of master of srts
in 1899. For two years ne was Eng
fish master in the Sewanee Grammar
school, and since 1901 has been In

and a constant worker in the union
cause.
The nomination Of Mr.. Edwards is
| significant from the fact hat he is
both a union man and a man of uni,
versity training. Thus the fact of his
being chosen answers two arguments
| frequently brought against Socialism
that Socialists do not favor labor
unions, and that Socialism is a move

Bore Had Best of Il.

John Philip Sousa was talking about
musical bores.
Il must confess" he said, that a
musical bore once got the better Of
me. 1t was at a Wagner opera, and
the bore sat on my left. He had a
book of the score open on his knee,
and he hummed every passage-every
single passage. My patience was at
last exhausted. / turned to the man
and said:
II beg your pardon, but l didn't
pay, you know, to hear you sing"
Then said he, you have all that
into the bargain, eh?'"

QUEER OLD STRUCTURE STILL
STANDING IN GOTHAM.
Is at Least 14o Years old-Sltuated
on Rock In Hudson River During
Revolution, Now Two Blocks
From Stream.

New York.-A queer old building
stands at Vesey and ' Greenwich
streets in this city. 1t was standing
there 140 years ago and no one knows
how many years earlier it was built.
1t was then and for two generations
afterward a lighthouse to guide river
craft at night. 1t then stood alone on
a rock out in the Hudson, separated
from the shore by a moat. Now it is
two blocks from the river.
In 1850 this ancient lighthouse was
the scene of a notable murder. A
beautiful young woma was killed by
the lighthouse keeper and her body
secreted in the shallow cellar under
the house. where the skeleton was
found many years later.
To-day this strange little stone
howell, with its darkened shops under
the shadows of the elevated railroad,
is In the line of march of the sky
scrapers.
When the revolutionary war broke
out, in 1776, old st. Paul's church,
now its sole surviving companion of
those days in this part of the city,
was separated from the river light
house by a few struggling low-walled
dwellings skirting the shore Of the
Hudson.
The old building is of two stories
and a garnet under a mansard o In
the center of the house above this
roof rose, in former times, the wooden
lantern which held the huge oil clamp
that sent it's rays along and across
the river. 1t is built of rough stone
crudely laid and patched in places
with brick. Large cracks, due to the
sinking and bullying of the walls, have
been filled in with mortar, and a coat
ing of yellow paint now covers every
thing.
Under the shabby wooden awning
that covers the sidewalk in front o

braltar he personally rescued three of
a crew belonging TO a British three
master.
His greatest achievement, however,
was when captain of the Dunkirk life
boat Susan Gray, which had been pre-
sented to the French town by the
mayor of Margate. One frightful night
the three-masted bark Vesterle from
Sweden struck on a sandbank in the
Dunkirk roads. The sea was running
high and wild, but Bommelaert mus
tered the crew and they went out in
70 the tempest. So high was the sea
that the lifeboat was struck by the
heavy surf and overturned. Two OF
the crew were drowned, and BONNIE
laert had three ribs smashed and was
wounded on the head. They managed
to right the boat again. Then the men
wanted to return, saying the case was
hopeless; but the captain, wounded
and broken as he was, urged them on,
and that night the lifeboat came back
to Dunkirk with Is men, one woman,
and two children rescued from the
wreck.
Many governments have honored
Jacques Bommelaert. He has two sill
yer medals for ~gallantry and hui
mainly" presented to him by the
British government. But the proudest
time Of his life was when the French
government gave him the coveted
cross of the Legion of Honor in 1891.
Then he was taken to Paris and re-

NAUGHT COUNTS BUT LOVE
BY MAJ PEMBERTON
By MAX PEMBERTON

There was a merry company In the
parlor OF the Castle Inn when the
stranger entered there.
He appeared to be a man of some 80
years of age, with a youths face and a
Hne figure Of his own: upright as a
drill sergeant, and with such a pair OF
eyes that, as Tom Forsyth. who kept
the ferry, said afterwards, 1t was
lucky for the maids of Brede that the
darkness cloaked them.
Joel, the landlord, looked the travel
er up and down, and his fat face took
wrinkles Of merry fat. He breathed in
with satisfaction. Rare was the day
when a stranger in a g~old-laced vest
drew rein at his door. Such men, as a
rule, were ferried across the river by
Tom Forsyth and rode on to my lords
castle upon the hin. There was no
other road from Brede but TO my
lords house or to the sea-
After the stranger had retired to the
inner parlor, mine host hazarded the
opinion to Tom the ferryman that the
stranger came with some news of my
lords son, whose ruin in the gaming
houses of Dondon had long since ceased
to tickle evil tongues.
To which Tom Forsyth added the
venture that such a visit BODIED no good
to the castle, and that the Lady Alice
should know it forthwith. Herein
however, he found no supporters; for
