THOSE MENNONITES
A Colony in Audrain
County.
Men Don Homespun Jeans
and the Women Wear Poke
Bonnets-They Are We'll
come Residents and Good
Citizens.

Walter Williams says a religious
sect, who as au article of faith,
wear no buttons on their garments,
have settle ments near Centralia in
Audrain and Boone counties. The
neighbors good naturedly call them
"HOoks and Eyes" or Hookers.
They are however, Mennonites of
the strictest sect, followers of the
teachings Of Amish Mennon.
The two settlements are formed
of immigrants from Germany and
Kansas and preserve a compactness
which isolates them largely from
the outside world.
They believe in the personal
reign of Christ on earth aud in a
universal federation. They refuse
to take oaths and are opposed to
capital punishment. -
Their dress, both of men
and women, is the simplest. The
men wear homespun jeans, broad
brimmed hats, their hair down,to
their shoulders and long boards.
The finishing touches to the plain
garb of the women is given by their
picturesque poke bonnets, Both
sexes eschew buttons or jswelry.
They take little or no part in public
affairs and seldom vote Their
children, of which each family has
a goodly number, go to the district
school during the regular term but
in vacation are taught by one of
their own German teachers. Their
church officers are chosen in lot,
the women having no voice. Their
preacher, Rev. zemmermau, serves
without a cent of salary and works
as hard as any loboring man dur.
ing the week.
The Mennonites are all farmers,
honest, industrious, careless of
wealth or fashion and have the high
est esteem for all their neighbors.
The two entire settlements con-
tain about thirty-five families.
"And there are fve children to
each familyR" was asked the smil-
ing pastor of their grim faith.
"Five-Tah, there is no family
that has SO few babies as that"
While the odd dress and exclus-
iveness of the Mennonites make
them a marked people they are
welcome residents and good neigh,
bors.

manhood toiled steadily for the
right to live. At ten years of age
he worked for a former at 90 a
month, later he worked in saw
mill, next on a steamboat and f.
nally as he was entering manhood
found employment in the oil fields
of Pennsylvania. Here he remained
for number of years but about
1885 removed to the oil fields of
Ohio where he attained somewhat
of worldly success. In 1892 he
removed to Toledo in order to de-
velOp some of his inventions
which he had vainly offered to the
Standard Oil Trust. In Toledo he
established a factory and began to
manufacture his inventions.
A friend said of him: He was
born in poverty. lived during
childhood in biting want; worked
in mine, factory and field until he
was twenty. Invented certain ap-
pliances for pumping, patented
his inventions, tried to sell them
but could not, so began to manu-
ufacture them himself in a small
way. The business grew and
Jones grew with it"
1t was not untilafter he had be-
come an employer himself that he
began to realize the great wrongs
which exist in our social aud in
dustrial systems, and the problem
OF how men could live decently on
a dollar a day began to press upon
him. In his own factory he or
dered that they should be paid ac-
cording to what the prosperity of
business would allow, regardless
of the scale in other factories.
As long as he himself was toll
er at the mercy and caprice of an
he worked uncomplaiu-
ingly and without protests it was
only when he saw the yoke upon
his fellow man that his sympathy
and energies were fully aroused.
1t was not self-pity nor desire for
self-aggrandizement but love and
sympathy for his brother that
forced him to study social and
civic problems. AS he viewed
these questions the golden rule be-
came to him the only right aud
necessary rule for the conduct of
life, either private or public. either
