Take thr (ha nee on the Hump and Twist and Hit to the Mat wfth the "Notice This card of hooks and eyes Is licensed for sale by the Jobbers and whole salers to retailors only at a price not less than that fixed by the manufacturers with Jobber; and, for safe to consumers by re tailers and others at a price not lens than 10 cents. .Any violation -of these condi tions wilt be considered an infringement f letters patent of the United States. No. T73.592, and will render the vendor liable to suit for damages accordingly." This Inscription on a 'card of hooks shows that not only. Is the hook with the "hump" i patented, but also that the price of 10 cents "is patented. - - ' Joseph llayden. head of Hayden Bros., proposes to try outtne matter and see If he cannot sell hooks and eyes and thou sands of other such articles at the price he chooses, He is now advertising that he will sell the hooks and eyes for 5 cents, nutting the patented price In half. , j Mr. Hayden says he Is not going Into the wJ matter blindly, as he- knows the effort which will be made: to keep him from se curing any more "trust made" goods.' Some time ago the patent ran out on the "hump" hook and the manufacturers made another bend in. its construction by which they -were able' to extend the patent seventeen years. Hayden. Broswhave been made' de fendants severa.1 times in 'the courts for breaking these --prices,' once being sued In tho federal court for selling a well known patent paint for 'less than the price fixed by the Jobber and manufacturer. to .Book Prices Also Involved. Books are also gfttliigthe firm of Hay den Bros. Into trouble because they Insist on selling copyrighted books at less than the allotted price. The. standard price in Omaha is 1.20. although the lowest prico at which retailers are permitted to sell books In Omaha is $1.08, If they expect to continue securing books from ' the pub lishers. Publishers and authors have entered Into a big combine to put a net price on books. A circular has been sent out that the pub lishers and authors have fixed a net price on some late standard books and then give a discount .to the retailer. They force a signature from the retailer that he will not sell books at lens than the agreed price if he is to get the bocks. As the manu facturers are in a combine, if a retailer cuts prtcrs on one book he will be shut off from all copyrighted books. An, attempt is to be made at this time to, bjoid,.up the price of one late book toQ and whole salers will not ship to any dealers who sell for less. One big firm In the east has won out in tho same fight because the book was copy righted, but yie price was not, as In the case of the hooks and eyes.

No other Industry has shown greater strides of growth during the past fifty years than that of leather making. The demands of the Individual for leather pro ducts not only have multiplied many fold, but the list of leather users Is being ex tended with each passing year. Leather follows civilization, and hundreds of thou sands of barbarians are being converted to Its use each year. The result Is a scar city of leather-producing animals. They have not multiplied as rapidly as the de mand for their hides, and the tanner Is forced to ransack the world for animals that hitherto were exempt. Not even the fishes of the sea nor the serpents of the forest have escaped tho tanner's search. The tortoiso and the small whale are In favor, and the boa constrictor, the rattlesnake, the cobra and the viper have not been danger ous enough to scare the skin hunter away. The automobile Industry affords one il lustration, of the Increasing demand for leather and Its products. Ten years ago there were about 2.000 automobiles. In use In the United States; now there are nearly 200,000. ' Each of these machines has re quired leather in Its construction, and re quires even more in the accessories. Tho sartorial art Journals declare that auto moblling has brought into vogue the leather vest, which is going to be the fashion during the coming season. The United States leads world in the pro duction of leather, its 00 tanneries pro ducing one-fourth of the world's supply. Every year nearly 200,000,000 hides and skins pass through these 600 tanneries, and when finished Into leather they are worth $250,000,000. It requires 1,250,000 cords of tan bark and 00.009 barrels of extract to meet the demands of the American tanner In the conversion of these hides and skins into leather. Two-thirds of the tanbark used is from the hemlock tree, which shows that tho forests are' levied upon heavily. The quebracho tree yields a valuable tan ning extract, and the American tanner al ready is established in the South American woods gathering this staple. Philadelphia is the hub of the leather world. The goat skins used there each year would suffice to cover a procession of goats reaching from the most northerly point of Alaska to the most southerly point of Patagonia. Other kinds of hides and eklns may become scarce or rare, but the goat Is always ready with a supply equal to the demand. The kid shoes men wear are usually made from goat skins. A gentleman In Philadelphia owns a saddle that wan made from the skin of a human being. It Is presumed that he got this skin from some medical school. He employed one of the blest saddlers In Philadelphia, to do the Work. When the job was nearlng completion the saddle maker asked what kind of leather It was It has such a fine grain and such a smooth "feel." When . he learned that It was human skin he threw' up the Job. Later another man was employed to finish the saddle, but the employer was careful not to let him know what it was made of. Many medical students have Jltle trinkets of leather made from human skin, but this Philadelphia saddle is said to be the only one of Its kind In the world. ' Newark, N. J., stands at the forefront as an alligator leather center. , Over 250,005 alligators annually surfe.jider tjieir lives to the needs of the Newark tanneries and factories. The saurlans. have a fashion of sleeping with their , heads ,jillghtly ,. above., the waler.and In the' darkness of a moon- less night their eyes form phosphorescent lights which afford a splendid target for the hunter. At one time only the belly side of the alligator skin could be used. But the tanner has learned how to get the hard scales , off the back, with the result that the moat valuable part of the tanned skin is that which formerly was rejected. ' The snake skin hunter exerclsea much Ingenuity. He takes a forked stick and pinions the snake's head to the ground. Then he puts a pinch of snuff Into the reptile's mouth, and the nicotine produces Instant death by paralysis, thus saving the skin Intact. The invention of the chrome process of leather making will be the meana of saving millions of trees to the forests. Instead of vegetable tanning extracts, a mineral sub stance la used. It effectually tans the hides and In addition renders the leather porous enough for the admission of air, but tight enough for the exclusion of water. Who does not remember the days when boots and shoe had to be greased to keep the leather soft and pliable? The most costly leather In the world Is known to the trade as piano leather. The old and the new world must unKe In Its making. A family of German tanners sold the secret of Its preparation, and It can be made only from the skin of the Ameri can grey deer found In the vicinity of the great lakea. The tanners have an agency at Detroit where the skins are purchased from the Indians and halfbreeda. The leather Is used exclusively for covering piano keys. An eastern shoe house has put out a line of ladles' opera shoes which are to retail at ISO per pair. Not all of the lntrtnslo value of these shoes cornea from the leather that Is In them, nor from the workmanship. The gold and pearl trimmings and jet beads are what bring the cost up so high. One shoemaker has turned out a pair of shoes costing $2,000, but their principal value lies in the diamonds with which the vamps and heels are studded. In certain kinds of shoes the leather Is made rough by being ground on rapidly revolving emery wheels. The grinders have to wear silk masks or wetted sponges over their faces to keep the dust from their lungs. It Is expected that bronze shoe leather will be the vogue during the coming summer sea Born. While great strides have been made In the methods of tanning leather, it must be conceded that the Indian perfected the Srt to ft degree never yet attained hy the white tanner. Some years ago a Sioux In dian chief produced a piece of buckskin that had been tanned fifty years before by a member of his tribe. A leading leather expert compared It with the best buckskin he could purchase In the market, and stated that the Indian leather was superior In pliability and every other particular. Specimens of Chinese leather 4,000 years old are as soft and pliable today as they were when new. Special methods of tanning are required In making some of the big driving beltt used In factories. What Is believed to be the biggest belt ever made was turned out recently by a New York firm for a lumbe mill In Louisiana. Five hundred and fortj specially selected Texas steer hides were used In making this belt. It Is 240 feet long, six feet wide and cost $6,800. The leathers which are UBed for ladles' gloves, and also for men's finer gloves are not tanned, but tawed, and millions of eggs are used In this process. The finest glove leather comes from France. The ad vent of the coal tar dyes in the coloring of leathers has proved to be harmful to the leather. It Is not a noticeable In glove leathers, however, as In book leathers. Bindings are supposed to last through years and years. But the aniline dye has proved so deleterious to the last ing qualities, of leather that the English Library association has ' made a careful examination of the subject. It declares that after all there is no tanning for book leathers like that in which sumac is used In connection with vegetable dyes. A writer for the Smithsonian Institution beautifully expresses the intimate rela tionship of leather to the race by tracing the activities of the savage woman after W V .For ' . i Lame Back.':!- HERE'S THE PROOF, 1 v.'.V Mr. W.

Paxton, Jr., Estimates Value of Estate at $400,000. William A. Paxton, Jr.. left an. estate of $400,000, according to the estimate of B. J. Pcanncll, secretary of the Paxton Real Es tate company. Mr. Scannell was private secretary for William A. Paxton, sr., and he held the same position with the man who has just died. "Mr. Paxton left a will," said Mr. Scan nell, "but I know nothing of Its contents nor by whom It was drawn." It is generally supposed that the bulk of the estate. Is. devised to tho widow and daughter. The Paxton Real Estate company has three principal' holdings, the Ware block at Fifteenth and Harney, the Merchants hotel building and the block bctwSon Twsn-ty-flfth avenue and Twenty-sixth streets, where an apartment building has been con templated. r F. T. Ransom has been the lawyer for the Paxtons for both generations, but he did not draw the will of W. A. Paxton, sr., nor that of his son. Whq drew up the dooument which Mr. Scannell now has In his possession is not known by him. The offering of the will for probata Is expected to occur In a few days.

Sick kidneys allow uric acid to collect, and, . if neglected, soon lose their power of filtering the blood. This leads to fatal Bright's disease, dropsy or diabetes.
