Leather made from the skin Of the
kangaroo Is one OF the new products
In the leather line II Is soft. strong,
and the light grades are particularly
well adapted for light summer shoes
and for shoe tops. while the heavier
grades will bear more usage than any
other leather finished on the grain side.
The light skins are made into the finest
brilliant glazed hid and In DUH finish
for ladies' fine shoes. and the heavy
ones are finished for mems fine work.
Much Of II is crimped and sold for
tongue boots Shoe laces Of good quail
tiles are also made Of Il. The skin Of
the kangaroo has wonderfully mus
oular fibre. which contributes largely
TO the strength Of the animal. enabling
the females to carry their young In

countries. There are great number OF
families. some scarcely larger than a

giant kangaroo Macropus major. the

the old males "booma," and are slow

dangerous antagonist when raised to
his full height his hind legs and tail
form a tripod. upon which his body
rests. carrying his head as high as that
OF a man on horseback. The kangaroo
lives upon vegetable food. and roams
over the plains OF Australia In large

AMATEURS FOUGHT FIRE

From Big Blaz,.
'McGilPs Barn Burned and the Confla-

for Prompt Action.


Fire at Brookland last evening DESTROYED
tne Darn or Charles MCGEE, causing a loss
or $500, $500 OF which falls ON the in
suraDce companies.
The fire awakened considerable en-
thusiasm in the village and afforded the
citlZens their first opportunity to use the
hose recently furnished them by the Dis
trict. At $50 MCGEE noticed flames lick
ing up the rear OF his barn. He shouted
fire, called TO his employees to get out the
horses and sent In telephone call for an
engine.
BY this time the village realized that some
thing unusual was happening, and rushing
10 the shed wherein is stored the local
hose reel, soon had stream laying on
the fire. Axes We're used and efforts
directed to saving McGee's store. which was
threatened, and which. had it burned.
would have entailed a loss OF So 900.
The adjoining property seemed doomed
when engine company No. rolled into
action. More water was poured into the
flames, clouds of stream Kissed heavenward
at q O'Clock a black, smoking cinder dump
was all that remained of McGee's barn.
The fire started, IL is thought, from a
cigar butt thrown on the floor by one of
the stable hands,
