WIUJHAB TOBWE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14,1921 WHEBE CHEWING GUM GROWS In Yucatan, the Precious Chicle Is Found* What the chiclero, or chicle gather er, goes through to bring it from the forests of Yucatan, its home, is vividly told by the United States consul at Progreso. Primitive and laborious is the task of winning the chicle from the tropical jungles of Campeche. It was an American who discovered that this could be made into a satisfying chew ing gum. Ohicle 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 hitches in the aboriginal manner as he wields his machete. The trees are tapped and drained for three succes sive years and then left alone for about ten years so that they may heal. The sap is cooked and molded in^o blocks. It is gloomy work for the chicleror out at his far-off hut. He is apt to be a 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 a mischievous phan tom in a 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 twigs. Once a 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 would result should he cut his rope upon hearing and suddenly turning to face his pur suer. 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. It is oftener a titter 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 erally 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 pai'ticularly good thing. Italian mirth has been described as languid, but musical, the German as deliberate, the French as spasmodic and un certain, the upper-class English as guarded, and nqt always genuine, the lower-class English as explosive, the Scottish of all classes as hearty, and the Irish as rollicking. The London Cockney. As used by writers 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 he city re supposed to be less virUe 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. ... Gradually this meaning was restrict ed and localised until it was under stood as being applicable only to Lon doners. The opposite term—the one applied- ty townsmen to the farmer —was "clown," meaning an uncouth, ill-bred man. Today the name of cockney is ap plied to Londoners generally, but more particularly to people of a certain class. The London cockney may not always be well educated or refined in bis speech, but he is not a mollycoddle. Dry Rot. The term dry rot Is commonly used to describe a condition of decay in wood. Probably nine out of ten per sons who use the term have no real knowledge of its significance. In the first place, where there is decay, there must be moisture. This type of decay is really the work of a certain fungus. It is true that where this fungus grows the decaying timber appears to be without moisture. The fungus, how ever, will not germinate unless the wood is moist, but from then on it is able to travel in dry wood. It draws Its moisture through a conduit system of slender, minutely porous strands. It is a curious fact, says Science Sitt ings, that wood kept sufficiently wet cannot rot. Strange Trade. A colony of women at Hackney, one of the poor districts of London, Eng land, has a peculiar way of earning money. They "mend" nutmegs—that Is to say, they fill up the holes In worm-eaten and damaged nutmegs from spice warehouses. This work Is done at home, the worm holes being filled with a mixture of nutmeg dust and gum made into a paste and the poor women for doing this are paid at tile rate of four cents per gross-of nutmegs. It may here be said that ^even close examination on the part of a casual purchaser could not detect where the holes had been. Hit Status. "Who was the fellow who Just tried to borrow $50 from jonf "He's a millionaire on paper.' "Which means?" pauper In hto own right," :4 '.-.y/teifc-y.'. 5, ^eitern^eWs^aper Unions OLD JIM BAKER'S 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, J.im Bridger and Uncle Dick. Wootton, fought with a Frenchman in the early days of Wyoming. Baker had estab lished a 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 a rival store nearby. A quarrel between the two men soon resulted. The quarrel ended in a 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 qj&d 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 oddest duel in his tory ended. Baker was born In Illinois in 1S0S, and went west with fur-trading party ab.out 1823. Old Jim was a 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 a 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 Mor mons in Utah. Returning from that trip, he wandered back to Colorado and became one of the first settlers 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 a 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 a life that had been filled with more adventure than that of any other man of his time, excepting possibly Old Bridger, whose close friend he was. Teheran 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 Its People," "but as the traveler gets nearer he will see the outline of the constellated city wall and the tiled domes and minarets 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 a touch of splendor to its squalid surroundings. "These gateways are 12 in number some are adorned with the exploits of Itustum, 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."
