Two furs are very often combined in
the small neckpieces and muffs-bea
yer and seal, seal and ermine, seal
and leopard, ermine and monkey,
breitschwanz and ermine or monkey

are in one fur.

Fire, He Hats Farmers

GALLATIN, No., Dec. 9.-While Ed
win Stephens was returning to his
home in an automobile he discovered.
while near railroad crossing. that
his machine was on fire.
No water was available and Stephens
realized that the FIRE would soon be
beyond his control. He was fighting
the flames desperately when Q farm
wagon came along. The sight OF q
barrel in the wagon gave him the hope
that help was near at hand.
Whats in the barrel?' was his
abrupt greeting as soon as the wagon
was near.
Sweet cider. I'm taking it,

terruptad the farmer. ..Here, quick"
In very short order the cider was
flowing from the barrel and being used
to put out the fire. The car was MT
badly damaged.
When asked how he came out on the
quick snap dicker. the farmer Is res
ported to have replied, "oh, tip top.

animals and birds. He Is an out
door man, democratic, and great
student. While some Of his friends
have classified him as progressive
Republican. he says II am a Re
publican without any qualifying ad-
jectives."
Mr.. Estabrook was the first among
those recognized as Republican
presidential candidates to outline a
concrete program Of national de-
Tense. He has declared himself for q
navy as big as any in the world. a
standing army of $4,000 to 100000
with reserve of ten times that
number. military training for tho
youth Of the land and creation of
merchant marine. He did this be-
fore the American Bankers Associa-
ton, at Seattle. Immediately there
after the bankers adopted a resolu-
ton endorsing his program.
He believes that military training,
diffused by all schools and colleges
would be great thing for the
nation.
81 should advocate a discipline
that went beyond volunteer militia
and this for several reasons that
grow out Of my own observations .
said Mr.. Estabrook in illustrating
his point.
THE only political Office 1 ever
held in my life was that OF regent
OF the Nebraska University. Part
of our revenues came through the
Morrill, act, under which, also, the
government furnished US a West
Point graduate to instruct our boys
in the duties of a soldier. In my
time this young officer happened to
be Lieutenant Pershing, now General
Pershing. He was called martinez,
but the boys all loved him and tried

to please him. Indeed they spent so
much OF their tire shining their
shoes. brushing their clothes, polish
ing their requirement and learning
the manual OF arms that the faculty
complained to the board of regents
that the boys were neglecting their
studies and asked that the military
drill be abolished or greatly cur
tailed.
Il listened to the arguments Of the
learned faculty, but cast my vote
against them. For had seen

faculty that there was not study
in their curriculum that in my opinion
meant half SO much to these young
fellows in after life as their mill
tary training under Pershing. Think
OF the habits that grew out of such

The spotlight Of politics has shift
ed to new figure. The man on
whom 1t now rests is Henry D. Esta-
brook, OF New York and Nebraska.
The story of American possibilities,
political observers are saying, is told
in Estabrook. A year ago he was
an unknown" Today he Is a can
cidate for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination, dark horse"
rapidly gaining speed.
Estabrook first attracted national
attention when he stumped the Mid.
die West for Mckinley in 1896. Then
he dropped out Of sight for time.
He is now again in the public eye as
a result Of series Of brilliant
speeches in which he has proclaimed
the doctrine Of protection, prepar-
edness and prosperity" Business
and commercial organizations in
every section of the country have
listened to this doctrine, liked 1t and
called for more.
Adivces received in Washington
are to the effect that sentiment is
growing for Estabrook. Already
Estabrook headquarters have been
established in Omaha. and his friends
are confident that he will find the
Nebraska delegation.
Tall, square-shouldered and square
jawed, this new political figure is n
man about sixty years Of age. He

known in Chicago legal circles and
now is a leader Of the New York

is described as plain American.

Analysis of Assets.
An analysis OF the assets of Amer
lean life insurance companies is in

years. toward real estate mortgages.
balanced by the trend away fycm
other forms Of investment. The total
admitted assets of all American life
insurance companies in 1904 amount
ed to about two and half billion
dollars and in 1914 to about five
billion dollars. In 1904 the COM
panies had about six hundred and
seventy million dollars invested in
real estate mortgages; in 1914 they
had over one billion seven hundred
million SO invested, which is an in
crease Of from 26.s per cent of their
total assets to 34.5 per cent. More
IMAM one-third Of all the total admit
ted assets Of life insurance compan-
les are therefore invested In real es-
tate mortgages and, as American life
insurance companies have at the pre-
sent time about seven hundred mil
lion dollars invested in farm mort
gages-which, by the way. is more
than their total real estate invest
ments Of ten years ago-it,is evident
that over a billion dollars is invest
