Women who expect TO buy furs this
winter show lively interest In the
Zoo animals" said Philadelphia AMI
nal keeper. "They want to find out
what the animal looked like that we're
their fur coats and NUNS before the
furs were made over for them
The recent warnings against imita-
tion furs have made them particular
ly curious Somehow they imagine
that by comparing the fur of live
lynx with a cat or a rabbit they will
be able to detect the difference in dyed
furs. OF course they won't, but any
how this little excursion into natural
history will do them no harm.
Women with caraeul coats are the
most persistent Investigators. Very
few people except furrlers know what
kind OF an animal carecul grows on,
and the specimens OF the Russian
sheep that produce real caracul and

A Mennonite Custom.

When young man reaches the
marriageable age and shows those
well-known symptoms the elders Of
the church hold a meeting. They
decide IL he is honest and reliable
to buy him farm, usually an eighty.
Into the farm he puts his savings. and
then members OF the congregation
raise the rest of the funds to pay for
the land.
This amount the young man must
pay back with small rate of inter
est. Thus by example and material
assistance they bind him by the
strongest bonds that of debtor to the
church. They know full well that
nothing can be lost, for the land is
always worth what 1t will cost. After
the young people are located on their
farm the elders assist with advice
and help. Do you wonder that this
thrifty people are gradually buying
the best Of all Kansas land and the
best part of the incest little city
within the borders of that great

Washmgton.-Th the republican
party will present to the next House
of Representatives at least two candi-
\ dates ser the speakership is the be-
lief Bww current in congressional cir
\cles iB Washington. Friends of Speak
ar Casaen declare that for him to de-
cline 10 make the race before the re-
publiesR caucus would be confess
sion Al guilt in all that was charged
against so-called Cannonism. They
are stsatly opposed to his withdrawal
from ne perfunctory speakershiP
contest against Champ Clark, thus
surre.sering the minority floor lead
ership- Unless Mr.. Cannon makes the
positive announcement that he is out
of the race it is stated that he will
be placed in nomination, and his
friensz viii make every effort to CON
troll Ne republican caucus.
The insurgent republican congress-
men, while appreciating that the
nomiaation is hollow one, state
that saey are pledged against Can
non eMher by platform or announce
ment aad that they will not vote for
him n the House for speaker, even
If he is nominated by a majority of
the re@ublican caucus. Most Of the
insurgents are inclined to take the
position that they cannot afford to
cast even a complimentary vote for
Mr.. Sannon, and regardless of the
fact that he will be defeated by Mr..
Clark. with sixty odd vote to spare,
they cannot reconcile their campaign
pledges with vote in his favor.
Republicans who are close to Mr..
Cannon state that the proper course
for the insurgents to take is to ast
their votes for the democratic nonli-
nee. Mr.. Clark.
The democrats having settled their
speahership contest the situation IN
the republican ranks opens an inter

ported thu the President has already
been approached on the matter by
both standpatters and insurgents for
and against MIR Cannons nomination.
So far as can be learned Mr.. Taft has
not yet indicated what course he will
pursue.
The snly hope of the republicans is
that Mr.. Cannon will announce that
