MUsKRAT SKINS VALUABLE
Thirteen Thousand of Them Recent
 Iy Sold At $2.12 Apiece

Time was when muskrat skins were sought by boy trappers, and some of more mature years, and sold by them for from 35 to 50 cents each. Now there must be more profit in the busi- ness than formerly, judging from a tale from the Northwest. In this it is related that 13.000 muskrat skins were sold recently for $2.12 apiece. It is explained that this is the highest price the muskrat ever brought, which is very likely true.
 At the same sale other prices were paid that should serve to make the devotee of furs for wear sit up and take notice. Some of these are worth quoting, and they follow: Silver fox, s525; white fox, s56; blue fox, s86; beaver, $22 65; otter, S33.25; marten, SAP; mink, s14; lynx, $35; bear, $20; red fox, $35; cross fox, SIS. Most of these prices, it is said, are higher than last year. That is easy to be- lieve. One hesitates to think what the cost of this fur made up into gar ments will be.-Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

THINK KAISER IS SAFE
Diplomats Expect No Trial Unless
 British kidnap Him

Unless Great Britain actually in vades Holland and takes the former Kaiser by force, William of Hohen- zollern will never be brought to trial, in the opinion of officials and diplo- mats, says Washington dispatch.
 These officials discount the report that the Kaiser will be tried in his ab- sence for the reason that he has al- ready been tried and found guilty by all of the allied nations. It is regard ed here as conclusive that Holland has so rebuffed the allies that diplomacy undertaken to effect the surrender of the Kaiser is no longer feasible.
