time when taken out of the water.
First Darwin and then Romanes noted
the above as a wonderful evidence of
Intelligence in a mollusk- The fact is
turned TO advantage in the so-called
"oyster schools" of France. The dis.
lance from the coast to Paris being
too great for the newly dredged oys-
tiers TO travel without opening their
shells, they are first taught in the
schools to bear longer and longer ex.
when their education in this respect is
completed, they are sent on their
journey 10 the metropolis where they
arrive with closed shells and in

MODES IN FURS.
Fashionable Garments for the Winter Sea-


Capes will be the fur wraps most
worn this season, as they are the best
suited to the exigencies Of the toilettes
now in vogue. They complete round
waists stylishly for the street, and also
the coat basques that are to be worn as
dress waists That they do not crush
large sleeves and are easily put on and
off has long since beer proved. The
new shapes are not long enough to
conceal the figure, yet have sufficient
depth to cover the arms and keep them
warm The single cape will prevail,
yet there are double capes for those
who need effect of great breadth. New
capes are cut circular, falling in full
folds, though not forming q complete
circle when spread out fat Some few
capes have Jokes, but the better de-
signs taper the skins to fit smoothly at
the top and fall plainly over dropping
sleeves, and this also tapers the dark
stripes in the back of the skins in most
effective manner, making them meet
around the neck, then spread out
above in the collar. Twenty inches is
q favorite length for capes, but to suit
all heights they vary from seventeen
inches to thirty-two inches They are
completed by very high faring collar

worn turned up or down. This is not

corners turned down in points below

report started by the Topeka Daily

in the state that he was at the head of

to the first question, Il am not informed
of ii and am not in it, / will be frank
and say TO you that have heard Of
considerable opposition to Mr.. Leland
as the official head of the party for
Kansas. but l am not sure that any
man in his position would be free from
the same amount of criticism I am
not candidate for national COMMITTEE
man. for l do not think il is a place
which should be open to a canvass or
fight. When the Kansas delegation is
chosen to the national convention. they
will get together and decide upon some
worthy man to represent the state on
the national committee, and until the
convention is called and the issues are

bition. but i am not seeking ANYTHING
from the party which has SO frequently
and Importantly honored me with posi-

The only possible basis for the story
that ] am in a combination 10 down
Cy Leland is the fact that a number
of my friends have urged me 20 De-
come q candidate for delegate TO the
national Republican convention and
that replied 20 them that if the people
OF this district wanted me to serve

but that under no circumstances would

Governor Osborn said further that he |

that he objected TO being placed in the |
attitude OF engineering political fight |
