LAUGHTER OF MANY LANDS
Wide Difference in Manner in Which
People Of Various Nations
Show Merriment.

All the world laughs, though the
nations have different ways Of mirth.
The Chinese is not SO hearty as that
of the European. 1t is oftener a litter
than genuine burst of merriment.
There is little character or force in it.
AS for the Arabian laugh, we hear little
of its hilarious ring. The Arab is gen.
orally a stolid fellow, who must see
good reason for a laugh or be sur
prised into it. In Persia a man who
laughs is considered effeminate, but
free license is given to female merri-
ment. One reads of the grave Turk"
and the "sober Egyptian" but it is not
recorded that they have never
moments Of mirth when they hear OF
some particularly good thing. Italian
mirth has been described as languid,
but musical, the German as deliberate,
the French as spasmodic and I'M
certain, the upper-class English as
guarded, and not always genuine, the
lower-class English as explosive, the
Scottish of all classes as hearty, and
the Irish as rollicking.

OLD JIM BAKERS DUEL WITH A
FRENcHMAN

Next to Uncle Bill Hamilton's duel
with the Englishman,,. the strangest
one in frontier history was that which
Old Jim Baker, friend of Kit Carson,
Jim Bridger and Uncle Dick Wootton,
fought with Frenchman in the early
days Of Wyoming. Baker had estab-
lished trading store where the Ore
gon trail crossed the Green river. He
was doing a good business with the
emigrants passing over the trail until
a Frenchman opened up rival store
nearby. A quarrel between the two
men soon resulted.
The quarrel ended in q challenge.
Both men ran to their cabins, seized
pistols and from the doors of their
cabins, which were only about 100
yards apart, they began firing at each
other. Neither was hurt at the first
shot, for both the Frenchman and Old
Jim had been drinking heavily and
their aim was unsteady.
Then the duelists retired to their
rooms, loaded their guns again and,
taking another drink to keep up their
courage, they opened fire once more.
The bullets flew wild. For several
hours the duel continued, each man
becoming more unsteady all the time.
At last, finding themselves unable to
hit each other, they gave it up in
disgust, and the oldest duel in his
tory ended.
Baker was born in Illinois in 1908,
and went west with a fur-trading
party about 1923.
Old Jim was mighty hunter. At
one time he was attacked by two full
grown grizzly bears. The old scout
was armed only with his long hunting
knife, but after terrific struggle, in
which he was almost torn to pieces,
he killed both bears.
In 1857 Baker was a guide and
scout for Gen. Albert Sidney Johns.
ton on his expedition against the Nor:
mons in Utah. Returning from tina,
trip, he wandered back to Colorado
of Denver Later in life Old Jim drift
ed to northern Colorado. On the
banks of the Little Snake river he
built a block house, which became 8
rendezvous for all Of his old trapping
companions and a place of refuge
when the Indians went on the war
path.
Baker died in 1898 after life thai
had been filled with more adventure
than that of any other man of hi:
time, excepting possibly Old jim
Bridger, whose close friend he was.

The London Cocknev.

As used by writer's Of the Eliza
bethan period, the word "cockney"
meant a mollycoddle, or a child that
had been coddled too much by its
mother. Then, because men who lived
in the city were supposed to be less
virile and strong than those who lived
in The country, the rural population
began to apply the term to the resi-
dents of London and other cities.
E Gradually this meaning was restrict
ed and localized until it was under.
stood as being applicable only to Lon
doners. The opposite term-the one
applied by townsmen to the farmer
was "clown,", meaning an uncouth,
ll-bred man.
Today the name Of cockney is ap-
piled to Londoners generally, but more
particularly to people. Of a certain
class. The London cockney may not
always be we'll educated or refined in
his speech, but he is not a mollycoddle.

WHERE CHEWING GUM GROWS
In the Tropical junolssaof campeche.
IN fueatan, tho Precious chieIe J
- ~: RI 10 Found. ssa. i

What the chiclero, or chicle gather
er, goes through to bring it from the
forests Of Yucatan, it's home, is wildly
told by the United States consul at
Progreso.
Primitive and laborious is the task Of
winning the chicle from the tropical
jungles Of Campeche. 1t was an
American who discovered that this
could be made into satisfying chew
ing gum,
Chicle is gathered much as sap is
from maple trees in the North. The
chiclero has to groove the bark, and he
ascends and descends the tall trunks
by means of a rope looped about his
body and around the tree, progressing
by bitches in the aboriginal manner as
he Yields his nachete. The trees are
tapped and drained for three success
sive years and then left alone for about
ten years so that they may heal. The
sap is cooked and nodded into blocks.
1t is gloomy work for the chiclero,
out at his far-off hut. He is apt to be
q melancholy man and his calling has
its own particular superstitions, some
of them fearful. Most dangerous Is
the belief in 'the little old man of the
forest" This is mischievous phan-
tom in large Mexican hat and serape,
who watches and follows his victim
in the darkness of the deep forest and
makes his presence known by snap
ping tw1gs. Once chiclero has seen
this little old man it is necessary to
change his work to keep him from be-
coming depressed and to avoid the
fatal accident which would result
should he cut his rope upon hearing
and suddenly turning to face his pur-
suer.

1eheran Has Twelve Gateways.

AT the distance, Teheran, built In
great part of the mud on which it
stands, is only distinguished from the
surrounding plain by the green trees of
its many gardens" writes Ella c.
Sykes in persia and It's People," but
as the traveller gets nearer he will see
the outline of the consolidated city wall
and the tiled domeS and mlnarets Of
mosques. He will enter the town by
a grandiose gateway adorned with
glazed bricks in patterns, the prevail
ing tones being blue and yellow, re-
lieved with black and white. the whole
giving touch of splendor to it's
squalid surroundings.
"These gateways are II in number;
some are adorned with the exploits of
Rustum. the Hercules and knight-er-
rant Of Persia, and others depict the
Persian solder Of today-all Of them,
however, look best at a distance, and
do not bear a close examination"
