GERMAN SPIES IN ENGLAND?
Story About Teutonic Waiter Recalls
Our Japanese Butler Scares.

The menace" with which Americans
became familiar during the threat"
Of a Japanese-American war and which
generally took the form OF Japanese
buffers who were really spies is now
getting in its same old deadly work in
England. Over there the threat is
of an Anglo-German war; so the "men-
ace" naturally becomes a Teutonic
waiter.

a man writes to the Gentlewoman as

Substitute for Costly Furs,

passable imitation of sable, lust as
white coney fur often passes as err

fox, dyed black, is often mistaken for
genuine lynx; opossum, colored a soft.
smoky gray, for silver fox, and the
so-called Hudson seal, which is Offer
ed as a cheaper substitute for seal
skin, is really only the skin of the
ordinary Paris rat, cleverly treated.
The demand for skunk skins has
grown SO much recently that man
who started skunk farm about two
years ago, keeping the animals in
enclosures and breeding them for the
market, has made handsome thing
out of it. Fisher fur, which is now
the" fashionable fur, has attained a
vogue that has puzzled the merchants,
who are having all they can do to
keep up with the demand Twelve
months ago a good fisher skin could
be bought for $25 or $50, but now the
price runs up to $500, and unless the
demands OF fashion change it may be
twice as high next winter.-New

HIS BRAND NEW LEG
IS DESTROYED IN FIRE
Nobody Knows Whether Pipe or
Poems Set His Quar-
terS AbIaZe

NEW YORK, July 10.-Prior to Civ
ing to natures sweet restorer, balmy
sleep, a chance to o what it could for
him last night Rudolph Kurtz un-
shipped his wooden leg and stood 1t in
a corner in his room, on the fourth
floor of a five-story fiat building at
1869 East Fortieth street.
Had there been a safety deposit
vault handy the leg would have gone
into it, because of all the legs Mr.
Kurtz has 5orn, he thinks more of
the one he had last night than Of any
of the others.
1t was brand new, highly polished
symmetrical, yet substantial, and was
to have appeared in public today for
the first time. It's battered predeces-
sor had been discarded and Mr.. Kurtz
had told his friends that If the wealth
er was fine today he would take the
new one out for walk. He made some
trial trips around the house with 1t
last night and it behaved admirably.
Mr.. Kurtz, on wrapping the draperies
of his couch about him, ignited the to-
bacco in his pipe and picked up vol
ume of poems No one ever Will Know
whether it was the pipe or the poems
that set fire to the lace curtains in the
room, but everybody in the building
soon knew there wa fire present and
that among the losses was Mr.. Kurtzs
new leg. There was no insurance on
this useful article and it burned to the
ground.
Luckily the old leg was not damaged.
Mr.. Kurtz will go on it today to with
draw the invitations he had extended
to friends who were to witness the
first public appearance of the new leg.

GOAT IN NEWSPAPER ROOMS
WREAKS HAVOC WITH EDITOR
Eats Copy Off Hook and ArouSeS

WALLACE, Idaho, July 10.-"Old
Joe," a pet Angora goat, escaped from
a rear yard and came down town on
a personally conducted tour and en-
joyed himself until becoming fright
ened by the unusual surroundings it
bounded into the composing room of
the Daily Idaho Press, where, during
an exciting quarter of an hour before
the animal was captured by Editor
Malcolm GIendenning and the office
devil, it We'd with the proverbial bull
in the china shop in working mischief.
Racing through the office, over i'm
posing stones and tables, the goat pied
several forms of type waiting to be
put on the presses, chased the office
bulldog out of the window, then, at
tracted by the futtering sheets of paper
on the copy hook, jumped over Limo
type Operator McLeod's head and be-
gan tearing copy off the hook and de-
Vouring 1t.
This was the final act that reused
the editors wrath and by main
strength and the assistance of the devil
the goat was grabbed by the horns and
tail and thrown bodily through the
front door.
Il stood a good DEAL" said the
irate editor, "but when he tackled the
live copy hook that got my goat"
