INVENTOR OF CHEWING GUM
John ceIsan Of Louisville, Recently
Deceased, Was the Pioneer OF
the Business In America.

The death a short time ago at his
home in Louisville. KY, Of John Col
gan brings to mind the fact that he
was the pioneer chewing gum manu-
facturer in the United States. His
business career in many ways was a
remarkable one, the Richmond Vir-
ginian observes. When but nineteen
years of age he began business in a
small drug store in his home city. In
the use Of balsam in the preparation
of cough sirups he conceived the idea OF
sweetening and rolling the telN into
sticks, which he gave freely to his
friends and customers A few years
later he was told by q travelling sales
man Of q large quantity or chicle,
which had been imported by druggist
in New Orleans for experimental pur.
poses, in the hope that it might be
used as substitute for rubber. When
this was found impossible, the chicIe
was offered for sale, and Mr.. Colgan
purchased the entire lot, hoping It
could be used for chewing gum.
AS result Of his mixture Of the
balsam tolu with the chicle, the first
chewing gum, as we now have it. was
produced. The demand for this new
gum was so great that the supply Of
chicle was soon exhausted and sup
plies in large @gantities were ordered

Alan had often fatted himself to re-
ceive the prodigal. and he was not now
at loss to account for the sudden
lassitude, the deadened palate and the
truant sense of smell that had come
upon him. He turned to Mrs. ]. Y.
"Tm afraid I'll have to lie down. I
hate to be nuisance. but I've got a
touch of feyer.", To the initiated "a
touch of fever" means anything from
slight indisposition to a knockout
blow delivered below the belt. 1t is
the sole phrase of confession recog-
nized by the malarial cult Happily
for Alan, the expression on this occa-
sion was no euphemism. He was suf-
fering from a touch Of fever, and moth.

closet and, under recent coatings Of
white enamel paint, the many marks
with which in boyhood he and his for
bears had branded the ancient wood
work.
A flutter and then a sigh of disap-
pointment went through Maple House
at Alan's immediate eclipse. The
children foresaw an order for silence
or a veto on the afternoons excursion
to the lake. ]. Y. became restless and
wandered noiselessly about from room
to room. Glen sat in the great win
dow and dreamed and listened for
Alan's bell. She would not go to the
lake. The children were solemnly
grave and then giggling by fits and
starts.
The EltOns had come back from
abroad. From Elm House Cousin
Frances Elton, commonly known as
Tom, short for tomboy, came racing
across the lawn waving towel and
bathing clothes and in a high treble
giving a creditable imitation of an In
dian warwhoop. At Toms cry the
children stampeded on to the veranda
with slbilant cries Of, ''Sshsh" Mrs.
]. Y. looked at Nance and Nance
smiled resignedly. They put away
their work, ordered the wagonette and
the colts-colts no longer, alas. save
in name-and departed with a wagon
load of suppressed youth. From Long
lane floated back peals of young laugh
ter, breaking bounds as the overhang-
ing trees hid the hill from view.
