MANY USES FOR SHEEPSKIN
Extensively Employed in the Manu-.
facture of Various Useful and
Ornamental Articles.

Many people use sheepSkin without
moving it remarked a Salem manu-
facturer, according to the Shoe Re-
taller. The warm, soft, furry rug in
which baby is wrapped as winter ap-
proaches is Of sheepsKin. and so are the
little pink shoes that are fastened on
baby's feet. Very likely the little ones
carriage is upholstered with the same
stock, too. The boy holds up his first
pair of trousers with sheepskin tipped
suspenders, and the snake skin or
fancy leather belt that encircles the
waist of the girl is Only humble sheep
in disguise.
THE woman who admires a purse
from the skin of a dear little African
monk is only paying tribute to the
same old sheep and the man who fan
cies that his cigar case is from the skin
of the Arctic seal has only a small
section Of a Chicago slaughtered sheep
in his hand.
THE society belle who slips her tired
feet into a pair of boudoir slippers, or
even Bangor moccasins, doesn't get
away from the sheep, and the young
dude who selects his moleskin vest for
winter wear because King Edward
wears one is only giving an order for
more sheepskin.
"The college man enters the world
with his sheepskin diploma in his
hand. The judge passes down weighty
decisions as he sits on sheepskin up
holstered chairs, and the lawyer reads
opinions from sheepskin volumes. The
travelling man hustles about with an
alligator travelling bag, under the fond
delusiOn that he is carrying a bit of
the skin of the Florida monster, but
he has still got that same old sheep.
'The pugilist puts on a bit of NUT
ton when he dons his boxing mits, and
the youth who kicks the football about
is only giving boost to the sheepskin
trade. Nearly every pair of shoes has
piece of sheepskin about them, and
some are made chiefly of sheepskin.
"a number of the modern fashioned
leather garments are also of sheepskin
or are sheepskin lined. The sleeping
bag in which the traveller in the Arctic
or the huntsman in the woods crawls
| for a nights warm rest once protected
| the flesh Of the same old sheep The
| chaimos skin with which the society
| girl brightens UP her complexion in
the morning is still the same old sheep.
In fact, night or day, it is hard to get
| away from the Sheepskin.'

tain to warrant the government putting
so many millions into one type of YES
sell A battleship fully armored and
equipped represents an expenditure of
over 100000 MI. Hale contends that
this expensive floating arsenal is at the
mercy of torpedo boat costing three
quarters of million dollars He, too,
is likely to draw lessons from the Rus
sian-Japanese war, but on the side of
the smaller vessel and in favor of going
slow in building big vessels until it is
absolutely demonstrated that they are
the dOminent factors in a modern navy.
Senator Hale has never been in thor
ough accord with the enthusiasm of Mr.
Roosevelt or the subject of the navy.
1t is well remembered that before the
breaking out of the Spanish war Mr..
Roosevelt, as assistant secretary of the
navy, had the foresight to prepare for
that war. Admiral Dewey freely and
frankly gives him the credit of making
it possible for the United States YES
sells to annihilate the Spaniards in the
Bay of Manila. This he did by ordering
supplies of ammunition and coal to
Deweys fleet in the orient so that when
war was declared that fleet was in con-
dition to leave neutral ports and seek
the enemy.
Secretary of the Navy Long was alb
sent about this time, and Senator Hale.
in nosing about the departing ts.
learned what Mr.. Roosevelt, as acting
secretary, was doing. He learned that
Mr.. Roosevelt expected a war with
Spain, and was so startled that he rushed
over to the white house and secured an
audience with President Mckinley, to
whom he declared:
For goodness sake call Long back.
That crazy man over in the department
will get us into war with Spain"
President Roosevelt often refers to
this scare of Senator Hale, and laughs
about it. He is willing to bear the
charge of being "a crazy man" in the
light of what his foresight accom-
plished in preparing the navy for the
war that was inevitable.

Mr.. Loeb is a hard worker, and says
that he has no time to consider the sto-
ries that have been put into circulation.
He entered life with the idea of work
ing, and he has had plenty of oppor-
tunity to indulge his ambition. He
picked out as his profession that of
stenography, which involves plenty of
activity. When he decided to become
stenographer, he also made up his
mind that he would be one of the best
In the country. That he succeeded in
his determination is evidenced by the
fact that he became one of the official
steographers of the New York legisla-
ture at Albany.
1t was while in pursuit of his official
work in the New York capitol that he
came under the notice of Mr. Roosevelt,
| who was governor Of the state. There
were four official stenographers at
tached to the executive Offices at Albany,
and the new governor had his choice.
During the first week of his administra-
ton Mr.. Roosevelt tackled a big pile
of correspondence one morning, and
said:
Send me that man had the first day."
This was after he had tried all the men.
and the man he referred to was William

since, as governor, vice president and

BOnaparte and a

grandson of Jerome Bonaparte, whom
Napoleon made king of Westphalia.
This is a great chance for the anti-im-
perialists. They will doubtless point
to the selection of grandson of king
as sure proof of the imperialistic ten
denotes of Theodore Roosevelt. And
Theodore Roosevelt will just laugh. So
will Charles J. Bonaparte, who, though
an aristocrat, is democrat in principle
and practice.
Mr.. BOnaparte does not rest his claim
his own reputation, and if the truth were
told, he is probably not proud of his roy
al ancestors. His grandfather, Jerome
BOnaparte. was under the thumb of Ma
poleon, and at the latter's command was
divorced from his American wife, the
beautiful Elizabeth Patterson, of Bal
timOre. Mrs. Bonaparte, it is said lies
buried in Baltimore cemetery under
stone marked elizabeth Patterson"
She had one son, whom she named Je-
rome, and the latter had two sons, Je-
rome and Charles Joseph, the latter be-
ing the new secretary of the navy
Charles JOseph'S brother inherited roy
al tendencies. He did not become an
American citizen, but had an ambition
to regain the French throne He be-
came a soldier in the French army and
was known as Prince Napoleon. Charles
Joseph, however, is an American in
thought and feeling, and is a lawyer of
great ability.
