CIVET CAT.

Il am becoming very fashionable"
said Mr.. Civet Cat.
Il wouldn't be SO modest" said Mrs.
Civet Cat. Il would say, and in fact
l will say it now-We are fashion
able. We have been used for some
time now and the people use US for
their coats, their fur collars, their
muffs. They have whole coats and
hats made out of US, and they trim
their cloth coats with US. All, we're
very fashionable, and We are appre-
ciated."
Its strange" said the red lynx or
wild cat, as he is often known, "for
you have a very disagreeable odor."
I'VE can't help that" grinned the
ciyet cat.
Its surprising to me why people
like to wear anything made out of you
or your wife, or any of your family"
Il thank you for the compliment,
my good sir" said the ciyet cat, grin

you think. People like u.s."

cat, your odor is worse than ever.
In fact you very much resemble Mr..

WELL" said the wild cat, 81 can't
see that it is anything to boast Of
being so fashionable. 1t means that
you will be used for people and in Or
der to be used for people, you must
be killed first"
Don't talk about it in such bru-
tai way" said Mrs. Civet Cat.
That's pretty queer" said the wild
cat. You like to think you are fash

to talk about being killed. You don't

VERY well, let them," said Mr.. Civet
Cat. "If it is fashionable"

Japanese and MaIaxs

The. Japanese hat resembles much
the Malayan. So also does the Japa-
nese umbrella. The ancient Japanese
helmet was adorned with horns of
animals. Similar helmets exist in the
Malayan archipelago. The old-fash-
Toned weapons of the Japanese police,
used In particular for catching thieves,
are still used by Malayan policemen.
The custom of catching fish at night by
torchlight prevails both in Japan and
in the Malayan archipelago. An ordeal
with boiling water, a special sort of
football game, the popularity of cock
fights and the custom of keeping sing
ing insects in little cages are found
both among the Japanese and Malays.
All this, asserts a writer, speaks in
favor OF the descent of the Japanese
from the MaIayS.

TO PREVENT FUEL FAMINE

The State Federation of
Labor has started a movement
TO prevent a recurrence of last
winter, when there was much
suffering because of the lack
of fuel. The proposition Of
the municipalities of the state
taking hold of the matter
and endeavoring to secure the
establishment of coal and wood
yards in the cities and towns
for the storage of coal and
wood during the summer.
While this idea is favored by
those to whom it has been sub
mitted, details have not work
ed out as yet. In a letter to
several mayors of the state the
plan proposed by the labor
organizations suggests that the
City Councils supervise the es-
Enlistment of coal and wood
yards. This might be accom-
plished by number of the
business men or banks placing
a fund in charge of the mayor
OF a committee from the coun-
Gil or business men, with which
to purchase coal and wood dur
ing the summer. This fuel
could be distributed the COM
ing winter under the supervi-
sion of the same committee or
some delegated authority.
Opposition to this plan may
come from the coal dealers,
but in times such as prevail
now, selfish motives and per-
sonal interests should be sub
merged to that Of the public
V elfare.
Some effort should surely be
made to care for the coming
winter and cooperation, a unit
ed effort, should be made to as
sist some move that will grant
the relief.
The State Federation, says
President T. A. Wilson of Lit
tie Rock, will render all as
sistance possible, and will be
glad to hear from anyone who
may have suggestions to offer.
