The latest reported oddity Is the
discovery OF heavy oil In the Caddo

grade oil field in that locality was a
surprise to all and to many a dis.
agreeable one. But when that grade
of crude had come to oe the expected

TOBACCO IN FAR OFF ALASKA
Resources Of Miners When They Can
Neither Smoke Nor
Chew.

II can match the story you were
telling of the cracker women In North
Carolina who use snuff by spreading
1t over the gums with chewed stick"
said the man from Alaska to the
southerner next him, "by telling how
miners and soldiers in Alaska tie to-
bacco In the arm pits or against their
solar plexus In place of taking 1t as a
smoke or chew.
When the wind Is blowing 80 miles
an hour and the temperature Is 40 be-
low 1t is some cold, as they say out
west. II man used tobacco in the
ordinary way out of doors during such
weather and got his lips wet through
smoking pipe or chewing he would
be apt to get into troubleG First thing
he knew he'd have his lips cracked
and they would be raw all winter long.
"The regulars stationed at the mill.
tary posts up In Alaska found that II
they tied tobacco leaf in their arm
pit previous to undesired duty they
would become very sick and could
pass the post surgeon for hospital, get.
ting rid OF detail work they wanted to
avoid.
THE miners up there learned some
thing Of this and found that the to-
bacco craving could be satisfied by
binding a quantity Of the leaf either
In the. armpit OF against the solar
plexus. This avoided broken and
bleeding lips Aiaring the winter, and
they weren't prevented from smoking
indoors as well II they wanted to. 1t
was the outdoor smoking or chewing
that made all the trouble.
mo, I haven't tried IT," said the
Alaska man, "but I 40 know that the
habit is very common up north in the
long Arctic winter among men who
spend their lives in the open. It is
the queerest way to use tobacco I
know Of"

Philosopher and Philosophy.

According to Life. philosophy is a
short cut to knowledge. Being a short
cut to knowledge philosophy Is moth
i"g at all, bs c"use there is no shor,
cut to knowledge.
A philosopher is a man who thinks
that II he finds out certain thing
which nobody else has ever found out,
he Will be able to find out everything
else without looking. Therefore, he
spends his life looking for that one
certain thing. and thereby overlook,
everything else. Accordingly, a Der.
feet philosopher knows nothing at all
Happily the world has never yet been
burdened with perfect philosopher.
There are, howeveE E good many i'm.
perfect philosophers floating around
who are interesting to associate with
directly. as they follow philosophy not
as vocation but as an avocation.

UNCLE SAM is SLOW PAY
Ono Army Officer Had to Wait SO
Years for Small Sum
Of Cash.

II anyone doubts that Uncle Sam
often is tardy in settling his just debts
all they have to do to dispel that H..
lusion is to ask Brig. Gen. Harry r
Anderson, U. s.. A., retired, to whom
the government has acknowledged
that he has had coming to him for
some 80 years a small amount of gov
ernment cash.
After many years of putting Uncle
Sam time and again through the third
degree, as It were, in the shape of a
army service, the doughty general sue.
ceeded lately in extracting a full and
complete confession from the comp.
troller Of the treasury and law officer
of the. department, whose word is
final, that his contention was right
that the government forthwith must
turn over to him $240.10 he ought to
have had long years ago.
Fair-minded people will think that
Uncle Sam, to do the handsome thing,
ought to pay the general interest on
the money he has not had the use Of
in this long period, but your Uncle
Samuel will do no such. thing. He
pays no interest on such money as
that, and never has. At fair interest
the claim would total more than $500.
While the amount involved is small,
Gen. Anderson's case is unique by rea.
