Settlement
House

The settlement house at Twenty
ninth and Q street is simply run
ming over" with boys. They are of
all ages-from 5 to Is. They come
directly from school on Saturdays
and in the evenings to play or
work in the gymnasium or assembly
room. The weather has not yet per-
mitted much use of the playground
but soon base ball, tennis and basket
ball will be the order of the day.
Beside the ordinary games and
play, there are several organized
clubs; the Brownie club for the
younger boys from 7 to 10, the Lit
erary club for the older boys, which
is largely debating club and has
an attendance of 30 at each meet
ing. At the last Sunday afternoon
meeting one of these boys made
splendid talk for the fifth Liberty
loan.
One of the strongest organiza-
tons at the settlement Is fine boy
scout troop of 80 members, under
the leadership OF Mr.. Mark Leav-
ings. Last week this troop No. "a
won the contest at Camp Clifford,
having laid the greatest number Of
logs in the new cabin which IS being
built entirely by the boys. AS a
reward, they will soon see their
names engraved on a tablet which
will be placed near the entrance
of the cabin. Last Friday evening
in celebration of this victory Mr..
Leavings and his boys were given
a treat" at the settlement house
by the Omaha boy scout committee,
Mr.. Hoyt, scout executive, being
present.
Beside the pleasure the boys get
there, they have made great physical
and moral progress, and are per
haps the most loyal friends the set
Element has.

Gum Digging in New Zealand.

One OF the most profitable industries
Of North Maorilaud ID the digging Of
kauri gum Whenever a man is dead
broke he goes to the gum lands, and
gum digging is the last resort Of the
badly brought up, incompetent En-
glishman sent TO New Zealand to sink
or swim. Many are the aristocratie
families II the old lands whose sons
are "gummies."
The method Of digging was formerly
to probe with a long pointed iron
spear into likely places. and upon
striking what seemed a hard, brittle
substance to dig with the spade OF
course, the livelihood thus afforded
Is prCcarious.
The gum is the deposit of kaurl
trees, which grew hundreds, perhaps
thousands of years ago. Floods and
fires brought whole forests of these
giant trees to earth and time buried
them.
As the gum was squeezed out it
hardened into humps of all sizes from
cubic yard down Usually it is
broken into much smaller pieces
Two or three kinds Of gum exist
The white, clear gum IS most sougAt
for. Then there is a medium grade.
a dark, troGcle-colored lot, called

nuts, and sugar gum. All are used
and of late years the price of black,
Jack has advanced.
Not long ago man bought farm
put down in grass 80 years ago FOR
5000. He hired party of Austrians
to dig it for gum, and in much less
than a year he had more than paid
for the farm with the gum taken out
of one paddock. and had the rest. still
to dig. This gum was found at from
6 to 10 feet down.
One man sold for $3.50 the right to
dig oygr four acres of ground.
