CITY CENTERS OF LIGHT.
From Which May Be Seen Impress
i've Spectacles of Illumination.

From the New York Sun.
The city's light spectacles are multi
plying In number. To be sure. the most
splendid and wonderful Of all Is still that
which the whole great city presents a.
seen from across the North river or from
the harbor but within the city there are
many lesser light spectacles that are
only less marvelously picturesque and i'm
pressive in their beauty.
Take the night show now around City
Hall Park, where you stand at the bot
tom of a deep level contracted valley to
look up all around at perpendicular high
towering cliffs shining everywhere with
innumerable lights. while out of this deer
valley you see stretching away from
you through Lighted gorses rivers OF
bright light.
Another similar sight you may see al
Union Square and still another at Madi-
son Square. The newest and in some
respects the most striking of those within
the city light spectacles Is the show that
nov presents itself after niehdall from
the 9th avenue elevated railroad between
31st and 33d streets.
From that point to the east and south.
east you have a wide sweep of vfsior
over the great excavation for the tracks
leading to the new Pennsylvania railroad

put up within recent years in that mid
section of the city. and lighted they show
up wonderfully. and somehow there
seems to be added to this show, with al
its picturesqueness. stalwart touch: In
this light show you seem to see the glow
of vigorous active energy.

HUNTING SPRUCE GUM.
A Winter Industry in the Maine
Woods.

Bangor CMe.) Letter in Philadelphia Record.
The woods Of Maine yield more than
one-half Of the five tons Of genuine
country every year. Though the city
factories turn out large quantities Of
artificial gum, made from bitumen, pitch
and parafhn and favored with many
beguiling essences and sell their products
afford to buy all the gum he wants to
chew. the clean, amber tinted lifeblood of
the black spruce tree is getting to be an
expensive luxury.
Before the pulp mills came to Maine
crystal pure gum was sold by the jobbers
for from 40 to 60 cents a pound. Most OF
1t was. selected from newly chopped trees
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 a change of
method. Old growth spruce timber. from
which the best quality of gum is OBJ
tanned. is now SO rare that an active
pound in winter.
Tho demand continuing constantly,
prices doubled in a. few years. giving
birth to Il new industry, which gives
profitable employment to more than 200
men for month in every year. 1t has
taken about twenty years to complete the
evolution of gum picking from crude
art to science.
have regular routes, which they travel
over year after year. The territory is
leased from the landowners. Before
coming down from a tree the hunter
makes deep horizontal gashes on the
sunny side Of the trunk, forming wounds
from which the pitch will exude 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 Il cents
an ounce. When the pickers come in
with their packs the price will fall to
$1-73 and 81 retail. and about $50 in
10-pound lots. 1t is asserted that the
habit of gum chewing gives one a clear
brain, and that the schewer can think
quickly and act wisely in conducting the
affairs of life. More than two-thirds OF
the gum gathered In Maine is sold in
Boston, and most of this is retailed to
local customers. fact which may ac-
count for the high intellectual condition
of Boston.
Persons who visit the backwoods towns
OF Maine hear many stories about enter
wealth by cornering the gum supply. In
1886 d Boston druggist named Brown
came to Bangor to purchase lumber Tor
a group of cottages he was abo.t to erect
near Cottage City. lie sold spruce gum
in his store. buying it from the jobbers
at an average rate of 81 pound. Find
ing that he could buy it in Bangor for
50 cents a pound. 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 81 a pound.
He made profit of more than 5000 on
an investment of less than 5000.

Missouri's Big Crop.
rom the Kansas City sta


Missouri Is forging ahead as an agricul-
tural state. The volume of its farm crops
for this year, valued at 500 100000. is in
itself a proud exhibit, but the fact that
this represents a gain of s37.OOO.OOO over
the value Of last years soil products Is
even more inspiring. This total, be it re-
membered. does not include the output OF
fruit. butter eggs. poultry and live stock
in all of which Missouri takes high rank.
its place as poultry producer being espe-
cially conspicuous.
Through the efforts Of the Hadley ad-
ministration to advertise the undeveloped
agricultural resources Of the state to call
attention to the good farm lands now
unutilized and especially to the fine OPP
portunities for dairying in the Ozark re-
gion, there is reason to believe the in
crease in Missouri's farm products will be
maintained for long time. Immigration
already has been encouraged to a notice
able degree, and the new arrivals are, in
the main. good, progressive farmers.
state that makes good showing in
wheat, corn. oats. hay, cotton. potatoes,
poultry, dairy products and fruits. and is
capable of large development in the pro-
ductfon of all OF these and many other
products, has a variety and richness of
resources that cannot be excelled any
where in their collective importance.

HUNTED TURKEYS FOR LIVING
Always Shot Them at Night-When
Game Was Abundant.
Correspondence Kansas City Times.

correspondence
| Henry CARTS and Bill .Tilghman in the
los and early sos supplied the northern
and eastern markets with deer and wild
! turkeys. In time they dealt mostly in
| turkeys, for the reason that a deer,
usually weighing more than 100 pounds,
| brought only IS carcass, while turkeys.
averaging from ten to twelve pounds
each. always sold readily at 81 apiece.
1T was our rule CARTS said, never
to fire into a drove of turkeys in day.
| light as to do SO would brighten them
and cause them to leave that part Of the
country. The result of this kind of
hunting was that we always had an
abundance of turkeys within reach-we
often rode within forty feet of a big
drove OF turkeys without their taking
flight
! Persons who never hunted in the
southwest in the old days scarcely can
imagine the enormous number OF turkeys
that ranged the country. I believe the
greatest turkey range on earth was In
what we called the Red Hill country,
now embraced in Woods. Major and AL
; falfa counties. Oklahoma. l have seen
ten and twelve acres at a time black
| with turkeys: actually the ground itself
seemed to be alive. After the turkeys
/ had passed their scratching made the
| ground look as If it had been gone over
| with rakes. The turkeys fed on small
| acorns and often few into the blackberry
| trees for berries, their weight stripping
the. trees Of their smaller limbs. l know
| of one gobbler sold at Dodge City that
weighed fOrty-f1ve pounds, and we killed
! many that weighed thirty-five or forty
pounds.
1.-THE worst scare I ever got in the west
country was while hunting turkeys one
night, even though we had an occasional
| brush with the Cheyenne Indians. Thigh
man and l, though partners, always
hunted alone. We started out one night
| in search of a roost. Tilghman going
down big canyon, while l went up the
canyon. Our reconnoiter ng finally led both
of US into heavily timbered creek bot
| tom. Each was moving stealthily along
with gun cooked, taking a step at a
time. doing our best to penetrate the
darkness and locate turkeys on their
roost.
1.-The wind was blowing from the south
and it was difficult to hear footsteps or
the breaking of twigs. Suddenly we
backed squarely into each other in the
darkness. neither suspecting the presence

LAST OF GOLDEN EAGLES.
Big Bird, Once Numerous, Believed
to Be Extinct.

From the Duluth Newsnibune.
When the pioneers entered tile Black
Hills thirty-flte years ago golden eagles
were as common as are English sparrows
at present, but with the death OF Old
Sentinel that occurred few days ago 1t
is believed that the birds have become ex-
tinct.
Unlike eagles Of other sections Of the
country, the golden eagles were much
anger, more fierce. swifter Of flight and
of different color. The feathers and
plumage of the back were almost yellow,
hence the name.
In the cary days of the hills the birds
we're SO numerous that they were con-
siderable OF a menace to the settlers. Ere
quently they would swOOp down into the
and fly away to some crag, where they
would devour the catch or carry it to
their young. Many stories are told OF
go den eagles having attacked small chill
dren.
Old Sentinel had been one OF the
pioneer landmarks for more than quar-
ter of a century and during all this time
he occupied the crest of one Of the high
est Of the peaks of the Ragged Top
range. There, upon a shelf of rock 400
and his mate made their home until
about five years ago, when the latter died
and the male bird became wanderer
After the death of his mate Old Sentinel
would make trips to the southern and
western bill s, frequently being absent for
weeks Many times he was shot at, but
he seemed to bear a charmed life, for
the bullet was never cast that was to end
his career.
Recently E. n. Norman of the United
States land Office at Rapid City went to
Deadwood, s. D., determined IL possible
to capture the golden eagle alive. He
realized that Old Sentinel was the last
one of his race in the hills and that in his
capture he would secure a prize well
worth effort .1oing out to the Ragged
Top range with a small. party of friends,
he was told that Old Sentinel. that had
guarded the peak for years had not been
seen for more than month
Mr.. Norman concluded that a trip to
the lofty home Of the eagle was worth the
trouble, and climbed to the top Of the
mountain. There, covering, a space Of
more than twenty feet square, were the
bones of almost all kinds of small domes-
tic animals ying about in heaps. Not far
away was the skull of an infant, whiten-
ed and polished by the storms of years
Bones that were taken for those of the
legs and arms were also found, indicat ng
that perhaps the stories of Old Sentinel
and his mate carrying away children
were not wholly untrue
Down in a crevice of the rocks, some
twenty feet below. was the body of the
eagle. Ropes were put ABOUT one OF the
men and he was lowered and pulled back,
bringing with him the prize, not a hive
but a dead eagle. Making an examina-
ton, Mr.. Norman became convinced that
the Gag must have been fully 100 years
Of age and that his death was due to Old
age. The body was taken down and
brought to Deadwood where the skin viii.
be mounted and probably become the
property of the Historical Society of
South Dakota.
The measurements of Old Sentinel prove
that he was one of the largest Of the
birds of America.

HOLDER FOR SHOES.
Enables Man to Shine His Own Foot
wear Without Stooninr

The man who breaches economy to
his wife. but does not practice it him
self. will no longer have an excuse for
not shining his own shoes. Usually he
says that the bootblack can get at them
SO much better, and that they polish,
better when there are feet in them. Or,
II he be corpulent. he explains that the
Undertaking is out of the question. Now
a Massachusetts man has invented a
holder for boot and shoe forms which
makes shoe-shining easy. A bracket is
screwed into the wall at convenient
