HAS A CHEWING GUM TISKK. j Slow Grower, Hut Experimenter Helieve>s It Will I'an Out. Nearly 200 professional gum chewers and others were disappointed yesterday, when they went out to ^ Joe Shepard's experimental grove, near here, to get some natural chewing gum fresh from the tree. Joe is a sort of Luther Burbank in mat- ? rs ters relating to peppermint and gum, . and, unless he is kicked by a horse j. or falls off a roof before next fall, intends to astound the known world ^ with the results he obtains. The ^ reason for the disappointment yester- ^ ? 1-o ^ T\r\+ nVitoinoH flip | day was mat nt; ucs uu^ ~ ~ . , results yjt. tj Mr. Shepard's entrance into tliej project of gum building occurred by Lj the merest chance last fall, when a L mass of lightning splattered all over ^ the woods edging his property. A cottonwood tree was split in two, a g big sweetgum next to it was splintered and a slippery elm adjacent was q hewn from branch to base. Joe looked them over for less than 20 -r minutes, and promptly went into the ^ natural chewing gum business, with his entire plant and equipment on the spot. He yanked the two other trees over the sweet gum tree and , < tied the hole collection up tightly h with heavy canvas,"winding it tight , and supplementing) a whole lot of ^ rope and chain. Then he sat down and waited. I s( After about 15 hours he decided pi that he could trust the trees to look t out for themselves overnight and) ^ went to bed. He got better at liisj ^ h . new profession every minute, and af-j f( ter a week had made up his mind! :r that it would be spring?this spring, I C{ in fact?before lie could expect the ^ tree to turn out the finished product all ready for the muscular jaw. D Since then he has sat up nights with the tree and made every effort to keep it well and ambitious. It has ^ grown together, and he was so satis-j fied with developments a couple of, a, weeks ago that he notified his friends; ^ that if they convened yesterday he b would give them something to think j o! about and chew over. | a] n tKrAno- onH 1 onk- ' ? ^ullc ? ??s ? | S( ed askance at the bandaged tree,1 while Joe Walked around it a couple' w of times and patted it in a friendly i it way, just to show that he and the; tj tree understood each other. Then g1 he took off the splints and let every' n one see the tree. It had grown to-: t( gether in uneven fashion, but there y was no {ign of the packages of wrapt: ped up gum in cotton piles that Joe liad led everybody to expect. He acted pretty impatient when some one up and said so, and after, tl snorting :i couple of times in rage, ; a' bandaged the tree up and told all) 0 that by next fall he would have somei *r gum worthy of the name. He asked! d them to come around in October, but, E a lot of the throng said that they! n: didn't think they would.?Eagle P Lake, Miss., correspondence to New ti York Herald.' t1 ?? yi Still Use Gunflints., ^ V 1 Down in a wall street office the a! ^ war SlUUtVS ^ClC UCIUS UiO^uoacu, auu d< also the truth or falsity of the large a orders 6aid to have bee# received by s< various industrial corporations.

The larvae attacks trees be- r veen the ages of six and fifteen r ears and occasionally other trees up ^ ) the age of thirty.
