of the last 25 years. and they are be- ginning to inquire whether the popu- lar demand for new leadership is ac- tually so strong as to give this new man the greatest political prize over which men struggle.
 An All Around Big Man.
 Estabrook is big man physically. mentally and politically. Quite six feet in height, erect. rugged. he would be man of commanding presence in any gathering. His mental attalnments are attested by his signal success in the practice of law and by the wide spread interest in his every public ut terance on governmental, economic and social problems He has always been a student and when he discusses a subject he speaks with the author ity of one whol has mastered it. His conclusions are invariably sound. and. once he has arrived at them. they are proclaimed frankly and fearlessly for he is essentially man with the cour- age of his convictions.
 For instance. he has been one of the most drastic critics of President Will son and the present Democratic ad- ministration. arraigning them for their tariff law which bankrupted the fed eral treasury and which places the American farmer the American manu- facturer. and the American laborer at the mercy of foreign competition. and for a foreign policy which has destroy ed the respect that the American flag and American citizens once command ed in every quarter of the globe.
 A Preparedness Pioneer.
 Likewise Mir Estabrook was the first man prominently before the public to outline a concrete program of national defense. which he presented in an ad- dress before the American Bankers Association September Sth last at Seat tie. characterized by the Seattle Times as ~one of the most remarkable ad- dresses ever delivered in the North west. and he was the first Republican leader to point the way to the reunion and harlnonizing of all elements of the party. his Together plea before the Mckinley Club of Omaha. Nebras- ka. last october. having attracted wide spread attention.
 From Ihe tiAne MI EStdoIooh opeH- ed the Republican National campaign in Chicago in 1896 he has been recog- nized as one of the ablest campaigners in the United States. and there have been few speakers in greater demand.

THE FIRST BUTTONS.
Worn Only as Ornaments and servsc
 No Useful Purpose.

No Useful Purpose.
 In early times, when man was master, clothes were fastened with strings and brooches. The Norman nobility, who always,had an eye to effect. spent considerable sums of money on their brooches, which were chastely wrought and added greatly to the beauty of costume.
 When the poorer people indulged in brooches they were content if such accessories to the toilet ful- filled the purpose of holding the clothes together. The earliest but tons were merely adopted as orna- ments and fulfilled no useful func- ton. In the earliest paintings one finds buttons without any core spending buttonholes. Buttons were also sewed on shoes and figured prominently on the sleeves.
 This latter fashion is still popu- lar as regards ceremonial garbs and uniforms. The button as an article of use and not merely as an orna- ment may be said to date from the reign of Edward |. These early but tons were of modest appearance and were manufactured from bone and wood
 It vas the usual custom to have two buttons stitched on the coat at the small of the back to enable a man 10 button back his coattails so that he could walk or draw his sword the more easily. These two buttons are still retained on mod ern coats, though any reason for their existence has long since de- parted.
 As wealth increased gold and sil- yer buttons made their appearance. We find Pepys writing, '"This morn ing came home my fine eamlett coat. with g,id buttons. and a silk suit, which cost me much money, and l pray God to make me able to pay for it. A little later Pepys refers to his jackanapes coat with silver buttons and records the fact that he put on for the first time "my black camlett coat with silver buttons. from which it is evident he had camlett coat with silver buttons and one with gold. Pepys was only man of moderate means and at >the time when he was mak- ing such a display with his gold and silver buttons supposed him- self to he worth about $500 clear iD the world.
 But the gold and silver buttons were necessary if he were to keep in the fashion. Those who stood optside the fashionable world flat tered their love for display by sport inc gilt buttons. At later date cloth buttons became popular. but when Birmingham began to turn opt metal buttons an act was pass ed in the reign of George l. forbid ding the manufacture of cloth but tons in order that the new industry of metal buttons might have chance to flourish. The metal but ton industry made the most of the opportunity. for all kinds of but tons now compete on an equal foot fro for popular favor. - London Globe.

BIG IMPETUS FOR
 ESTABROOK BOOM
Dark Horse" For Republican
 Presidential Nomination.
NATIONAL DEFENSE PIONEER

Known as Fearless Advocate of Ira
 ditionaI Republican Principles-AIso
 Recognized as One of Ablest Cam
 paisners In United States.
 Far and away the most interesting phase of the national political situa- ton is the movement that has brought Henry D. Estabrook. of New York and Nebraska. so prominently to the front as a candidate for the Republican pres idential nomination. First spoken of as a possibility in connection with the presidency less than six months ago. MT. Estabrook is today one of the leading candidates. with evidences of strength that are source of concern. to the friends of the other aspirants
 He has made speeches in every i'm portant city in the East. Middle West and Far West. an ardHous campaign experience that has put him in good condition to meet the rigorous demands made on the head of party's national ticket. and his friends in Nebraska and other States have formed Estabrook or ganizations and are going after national delegates in the most vigorous fashion.
 Impartial observers agree that this development of the Estabrook boom has no parallel in the political history

Papvrus

The papyrus used by the ancient Egyptians was made from the stems of peculiar water reed growing in an parts of Egypt The outside layer of the plant WAS removed, and beneath this there were found a number of layers of delicate, pithy membrane. These. being separated, were placed in layers. A second layer waS laid al right angles to and above the first and sometimes q. third over the second. Heavy pressure was then applied, and the layers were firmly eemented into d falr article of paper. No gum other than what was contained in the plant itself was used in the process. The papyrus was very much strong CT than the average paper made by the modern machines. The sheets we've commonly made from six to twelye inches square.

ARIZONA OAK BRINGS RECORD
 PRICE

Figures compiled by the District Forester at Albuquerque show a total production of lumber in Arizona in 1915 of 75,000,000 board feet. Simi- lar figures for New Mexico show total of 66,e00,000 feet.as In addition some 25,00O, ,000 feet of lath and shin gles were produced in the two states last year. 55 miles were reported as in operation. e-Eel e
 97 per cent of the lumber produced was western yellow pine and 2.7 per cent Douglas fir. The remainder consisted of almost negligible quanti- ties of white fir, spruce, and oak, he latter rather a curiosity since gener- ally speaking no merchantable oak timber exists in the Southwest. Nevertheless 2,000 feet of oak logs ap- parently big enough to cut were found in Arizona, and brought $40 per thousand, the record price for saw lumber in either state.
 The average valuation of yellow pine lumber at the mill was 3.49, giv- ing he total production of pine 8 value of $2,000,000.
