CHEW TOBACCO AND
KUMINATE.
And You'll Make 4 Good Senator, Declares
President Woodrow Wilson Of Princeton.

The value Of chewing tobacco as
a help to runirative habits that lead
to good craftsmanship was one of the
things that Woodrow Wil,on, presi-
dent Of Princeton University, touched
upon i'll lis lecture yesterday at Co.
lulnbia University on THE Senate of
the United States, says the New
York San DR. Wilson was pointing
out the fact that the Western Sen
ator as 4 rule is more valuable than
the Eastern man, because he comes
from part of the country that is
productive of thought. In the East,
according 10 DR. Wilson, men have
no opinions because they do not have
time to think.
If you live in a place" said the
president of Princeton, where you
can sit around a stove in a country
store and spit tobacco juice into
sawdust box you are much more
likely to have opinions than if you
live i'll New York Whatever you
may think OF the habit OF chewing
tobacco, ] wait TO suggest that
chewing something leads to rumin-
ative habits Ii man stops long
enough between sentences to chew,
he is more likely to have opinions
that arc Of weight than if he does
not, There is something in the saw
dust box.
People who have their heads
buried in the morning paper in the
morning and in the evening paper in
the afternoon, have no ideas except
those which the newspapers give
them. This is the kind of people
that are found in the East, where
the peoole think about nothing ex-
ccpt what they see in the newspapers
and their business In the West this
is not true. The Western Senator
has, time to chew between sentences
and consequently is more likely to
thlntt those things which are of value
to the nation"

Cinnamon Topers.

Both cinnamon and cassia contain
tannin, and too much of either has the
same effect as excessive tea drinking.
There are cinnamon and cassia topers
who are as much addicted to the habit
of chewing the bark as some men are
to chewing tobacco. The cinnamon
topers acquire their habit chiefly from
working in the woods stripping the
bark from the trees and drying it. 1t
is graded by men who taste tiny NOR
sci of each lot. At first this causes the
lips and throat TO swell, but in time
this undesirable effect overcomes itself.
and genuine love for the bark is ae-
quired

THERE WAS a mighty up-heaval
in the Republican political circles
in Ohio the past month, and fac.
tions were waring to the bitter
end, Suddenly "retired" boss
in Cincinnati rose from his poll
tical grave, and announced where
he stands in the fight, and then
all was over. The man that Boss
Cox declares for is conceded to be
the winner, Does he still own the
party?

THAT Senator Ben Gayman-
statesman, scholar, rnalist, of
franklin county, retired from
newspaper business, is much to be
regretted by the Democratic
leaders of OHIO. Ben will cen

and in the practice of law, but
the stilling of that old pencil is
regretable. Good luck, Ben in
other lines.

Pearl Found In Fish Eye

Shelbyville, Ind, June, ga
fish with an eye of pearl, fabulous as
the assertion may seem, was caught
here by Peter Cummins in a we'll
known fishing place in Brandywine
creek. The prodigy of the fnny
tribe had lost, by some freak, its
left eye. The socket was there, but
the eye which had rested therein was
absolutely solid. When distracted
from its resting place and submitted
to the blows of a light hammer, it
was found to be as hard as stone.
BY experienced fishermen it is said
that it is a genuine pearl, such as
are found in river mussels of a pecu-
liar kind.
