Gum. It is said that Wi'igley-and doesn't that name remind you of the last sentence of this essay? There, I know you'd look at it !-has bought with the proceeds of a good many chews of gum several large islands near San Francisco and that after he kills the millions of snakes there- on, perhaps by feeding them gum, he expects to place millions of sheep on those islands to grow up with the county to make more money to make more gum. So considering the mighty fortunes built up by several manufac- turers of the commodity, almost a necessity, a chew of gum is not as small asqiiight appear. The larger part, or, that is to say, the more important part of hu- manity, at least all the dear girls between the ages of fourteen and- well, nobody knows the other extremity, are' chewing gum. They of course are supported by a large reserve force of equallydear boys of similar age. There is a well authenticated case of a young lady in her teens having chewed her gum perpetually without stretching it-the gum-- for one hundred thirty-nine hours, forty seven minutes and nineteen seconds, and was ready after stopping to get a drink and willing, be it said, to repeat the operation. There are doubtless better records than this It had been calculated by Prof. C. VV. Worlcl that if the power required dailyin the mastication of chewing gum in the U. S. could be harnessed and applied, itwould be sufficient to move all the freight ton- nage of the country and the surplus if it could be so used would furn- ish enough school pep in all departments of Murray High to meet the fondest dreams of Instructor Keeran. Into the daily batch of chewing gum, all kinds of things are thor- oughly mixed, such as bits of song, quotations from the movies. secrets of the heart, some algebra, considerable sewing, and we've even heard, some English finds its way into the mixture, to say nothing of a great quantity of jazz, all kinds of slang, gossip by the yard, and occasionally men 's whiskers-as witness the following: A man went into a barber shop the other day, for a shave, having decided to part with his mustache, The barber got along nicely till he came to shaving the patrons upper lip, when he noticed its matted and ragged appearance and inquired the cause. The patron replied, that the night before he had tried to kiss a girl who was chewing gum. It is said that a piece of gum after having thoroughlyl undergone the process of chewing and being exposed a short time to heat, will have gh? fippearance under a powerful microscope of a ball of newly dug s 1 Jait.

Doris, said Miss Cornwall, in a firm voice: Did you receive this letter from your mother last week? She held it toward her. Doris looked at it astonished and nodded her head. But you have your party dress, have you not? her voice grew more firm, her eyes more piercing. Doris tried to answer-but her tongue refused its office-was she dreaming ? As if in the distance she heard the same- stern cold voice saying, You know, of course, money has been stolen from one of the girl 's rooms. Doris started! Miss Cornwall you mean you think I I she could say no more, but burst into tears. You needn't tell me about it now if it affects you this way, but I will call at your room in the morning and then I will ask for an explana- tion, but I will say now that I cannot allow you to wear that dress to the party to night. You may go to your room. If this were a movie it might be flashed on the screen in the meantime, and Iris would be seen in her room frowning over the dif- ficulty in arranging the mass of blonde hair. This completed at last, the dress was taken from its place where it had been placed the day before. As the folds of silver lace fell into place a crisp fifty dollar bill dropped to the floor. Iris gasped! It hadn't been stolen! But some one had been accused, and she realized, accused with very little evidence. Her first impulse, true to human nature was to shield herself-to save her- self the shame of facing Miss Cornwall and-but no, Doris was not a thief. Without another thought she slipped into the dress and hurried to Miss Cornwall 's room. Ten minutes found them at the door o oris i softly, there she lay on the bed, her small form shaking with sobs. f D ' ' room.
