GATHERING OF GUM
Maine Yields One-HaIf of.the To.
 tai Production.
Only Five Tons of the Genuine Com rodity Are Consumed Annually in This Country Balance
 Is Exported.

Bangor, Me-The woods of Maine yield more than one-half of the five tons of genuine spruce chewing gum Though the city factories turn out large quantities of artificial gum. made from bitumen, pitch and paraffin and favored with many beguiling es. sences, and sell their products so cheaply that the poorest citizen can afford to buy all the gum he wants to chew, the clean, amber-tinted life blood of the black spruce tree is get ting to be an expensive luxury.
 Before the pulp mills came to Maine crystal pure gum was sold by the job bers for pm 40 to 50 cents a pound Most of it was. collected from newly chopped rees by the lumbermen. The advent of the pulp mills and the rapid transportation of the cut timber by rail from the stump to the factory brought about change of method. Old growth spruce timber, from which the best quality of gum is obtained, is now so rare that an active lumberman will not secure more than a pound of gum in winter.
 The demand continuing constant, prices doubled in few years, giving birth to new industry, which gives profitable employment to more than 200 men for month in every year. It has taken about 20 years to complete the evolution of gum picking from a crude art to science.
 The men who engage in the busi- ness have regular routes, which they travel for year after year The terri tory is leased from the land owners Before coming down from a tree the hunter makes deep horizontal gashes on the sunny side of the trunk, form Ing wounds from which pitch will ex- ude during the summer and later harden into gum for the next harvest.
 Little gum of last seasons ripening has come to market, and the retail price in Bangor is IS cents an ounce In April when the pickers come in with their packs, the price will fall to s1.75 and s2, retail, and about s150 in ten-pound lots.
 Persons who visit the backwoods towns of Maine hear many stories about enterprising citizens who have gained sudden wealth by concerning the glm supply In fSS6 a Boston drug gist named Brown came to Bangor to purchase lumber for a group of cot tages he was about to erect near Cot tage City He sold spruce gum in his store, buying it from the jobbers at an average rate of S1 a pound Finding that he could buy it in Bangor for 50 cents a a pour l, he purchased all he could get, visiting the camps in order to secure as much as possible.
 He bought nearly two tons, which he packed in boxes and stored away to await the opening of the river so that it could be taken to Boston by boat. The ice was late in going out of the Penobscot that year, and before the druggist received his gum the price had gone up to $2 pound He made a profit of more than S5,000 on an investment of less than s2,000.

THE INTERNATIONAL TIME RE
 CnRnING 70


 The International Time Recording Company, which is estimated to con trol s5 per cent of the time record ing business of the world, has just de clared an initial dividend of 1 per cent on the common stock This is considered a very conservative move inasmuch as the earnings for the pass year on tn ecommon stock were above 20 per cent, and it is estimated that the earnings for the year 1910 will show more than 30 per cent on this stock. There has lately been an ac- tive demand for the stock and at the present time there is very little com con in the market. The preferred stock declared its thirty-fifth consec- utive dividend at the rate of per cent per annum.

His Mother Was a Laer.

Was Shakespeare's mothers family one associated with gentility?" Mrs. Charlotte Slopes has been minutely examining the Stratford records. and thinks she has discovered deeds which answer that question in the afirma. tive and which show that Hailiweli- Phillips was not sufficiently thorough going in his examinations and concIu- sions. Her gleanings are but scanty, and do not mean much, s2ve possibly in the implication that Mary Arden's family was one in which education was valued and books were available
