Rubber gathering in the Amazon
river district is hazardous and diff
cult undertaking. The supply comes
from wild trees scattered throughout
dense forests, to which paths mast be
cut through the tangled and lu,uriant
underground. Even then the traes can
only be reached during three to five
months of the year, as throughout the
wet season the forests are completely
Inundated. The climate Is 80 I'M
healthy that white men cannot do this
work and it is necessary to rely upon
the native blacks, who at kest are
indispensable and lazy. Their reluct-
ance to join rubber gathering expedl-
lions can readily be understood when
it is remembered that out Of a sea.
sons expedition perhaps only half
will return alive.
When a rubber tree is found the ma
tive gatherer cuts a series Of gashes
into the bark with his machete, en-
circling the tree from the ground up,
as high as he can reach. Cups are
fastened to catch the lateX as 1t
oozes out. When a sufficien quantity
Is collected it is removed to the tenn
porary hut, where a dense smoke-pro-
ducing fire is made of certain nuts
and palm leaves. Then taking his
wooden paddle the native dips it into
the latex and holds it over the fire,
turning 1t round and round until the
latex coagulates. AS soon as It is
hard new layer of latex is added
and coagulates as before. This pro-
cess Is continued until the mass has
grown too large for handling, when
the paddle Is taken out and the rubber
set aside for export. The process of
coagulation and fumigation with these
specially selected nuts and leaves pre-.
vents decay and adds to the life and
wear resistance Of the manufactured
product.
Tapping the trees for rubber does
not necessarily destroy them, nor is 1t
believed to materially shorten their
life; but unfortunately many thou
sands Of trees are annually rendered
useless by careless and improper
methods. Although the source of
crude rubber gum is practically mex.
haustible, the limited native labor
supply and the difficulties encountered
up to the time of marketing it have
tended to keep down the supply and
maintain high standard of prices.

GOSSIP OF THE RING
BY KNOCKOUT.

You'll have to give 1t to this fellow,
Battling Nelson, champion of the light
weights. He's about the foxiest per-
son in the ring to-day. He manages
his own affairs and no rival manager
gets the best of him.
They have been talking for some
time about fight between Nelson and
AID Wolgast. Nelson agreed to fight,
then called it off. Next he talked
about fighting somebody else Then
things were fixed up between him and
Wolgast for battle in San Francisco.
Nelson hadn't been in the ring for
several months and knowing Wolgast
to be a hard nut to crack, the cham
pion decided to take on trial horse"
before going into the the big battle.
Bat" agreed to meet Eddie Lang before
Tommy Ryan's Memphis club. Lang
is a new one and it's cinch he'll
not lick Nelson in eight rounds. The
fight will be just what Nelson needs
to put him in good shape for the bat
tie with Wolgast. Give it to Nelson.
He's fox and his active brain is ever
alert for the best of it for BAT"
Abe Attell, featherweight champ has
come out of his shell and wants to
fight a live one. Little Abe has been
picking out the easy marks so long
he's ashamed of himself, and now has
announced his willingness to fight the
hardest proposition in the feather
weight division, Jem Driscoll, the
clever Briton. There used to be an
argument concerning who was the
cleverest boxer in the ring. Some said
Jim Corbett Others said Attell. Old
timers declared Young Critic had it
on either of them. When Driscoll WIS.,
tied the United States year or so
ago all agreed that he was about the
shiftiest thing with the mits that
ever entered a ring. Attell met him
In short bout and Abe, according to
critics, looked like an amateur. How
ever, Abe has way of holding off,
and he may have been laying low that
night If he and Driscoll meet in a
long fight it probably will be the fast
est mill ever seen.
Over in England they think Tom
Thomas their middleweight cham
pion is unbeatable. They want to see
him hook up with Stanley Ketchel.
If Ketchel, who is an in and outer, is
right, should they meet, I'm afraid
England will have to look for another
champ. Steve is a demon when in the
proper condition, and no doubt will be
able to trim anything they have on
the other side of the pond if he goes
there, as he contemplates doing.

WHY A TARIFF WAR?

If A tariff war develops between this
country and Canada. and the same is
almost certain, goods shipped into the
United States from Canada will be not
only subject to the already high
Payne-Aldrich rates. but to an addi-
tional duty of 25 per cent. ad valorem
as well. Canada will then assess
against American products it's regu-
lar tariff rates, together with an ad-
ditional tax of one-third of the regu-
lar duties.
And that is not all. 1t is within
the power of the Dominion govern
ment, or of the government of some
of the provinces, to prohibit entirely
the export to this country of certain
of their products. Already pulp wood,
wood pulp and print paper are mark
ed for the exercise of that power. And
nickel also. Such action will affect
first the printing industry in this coun-
try in many of it's most important
branches, especially newspapers, and
second, the steel industry, in which
nickel plays most important part.
More than half. of our dutiable i'm
ports are. of lumber, the total being
above $23,000,00 in 1905 Under the
tariff law the duty on lumber is SIPS
per thousand feet. Under the war
rates there will be added 25 per cent
ad valorem, or, on a basis of $40 per
thousand, an additional duty of SIS.
Outside of possibly the lumber trust,
who in the United States will be bene-
fitted by this kind of war? And how
long viii the American people allow
hOStilitieS to continue?

THE HoUsEHoLDER's LAMENT

Lent, it is a-fiying,
Penitential days are dying,
And less meat were daily buying,
We more balance show, that's fiat.
Yet the cost of living's higher,
And there's no fall in desire
To take something of a flyer
In the new style Easter hat.
What's the use of women's going
To this penitential showing,
All these pious seeds a-sowing
If their worldly tastes they keep ?
How are husbands benefited
(And they sure are to be pitied),
If it is to be admitted
Easter hats are not so cheap.
In curtailing of our riches
We may go without good dishes,
Have lot of midnight stitches,
But on one thing, wives stand pat:
They may yie.d all sacrificing
Of untoward fate's devising;
But ne'er turn down the enticing
OF a stylish Easter hat.

MRS. COLE NO. I SUES NO. 2
FOR QUARTER OF MILLION

tons Of Her Husband so She
Got Divorce.

KANSAS CITY, Mar 25-Mrs. How
ard G. Cole, who formerly was Mrs.
Jarvis Hunt, wife of the Chicago ar
chitect, for years familiar figure in
social circles and a horsewoman of
national fame, was today sued for
$25O,000 damages here by Mrs. Hattie
Dunwoody Cole of Chicago, the divorc-
ed wife of Howard G. Cole.
Mrs. Cole No. 1 alleged Mrs. Cole
No. made love to Mr.. Cole so assidu-
ously that it became necessary for her
to obtain divorce
The suit was filed here because this
is now the legal residence of Mrs. Cole
No. 2. Following her unexpected mar
rage to Mr.. Cole in Jacksonville, Fla.
January Z, the couple came here to
live. They resided here until a month
ago. when they left for Pensacola, Fla.
on a visit.
The couple is said to have had a
dual reason for coming here to live.
When Mrs. Cole No. was granted her
divorce in Chicago, November 10 1909,
it was with the provision that neither
of the parties to the case should wed
within two years. Following the mar
riage of Mrs. Hunt and Cole, Mrs.
Cole announced if they returned to
Chicago to reside, she would institute
suit against her ex-husband's new
wife.
During the time the Coles lived here
they did not mingle in society They
purchased a handsome residence and
spent the greater part of their time
at nome. Their house is closed now,
but is understood they will return
here within a few weeks.
Mrs. Cole No. was granted a di-
vorce from Jarvis Hunt in Wheaton.
