TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. lo.-Three big,
hungry lions escaped from Sells &

of Topeka, and during the time they
were at large terrorzed the commun-

three became engaged in a pitched
battle, which ended in all OF them

the two lions were out in a mo-
ment There were four head of fine
cattle belonging TO Col. Sells in this
lot, and by the time he arrived the
lions had killed the cattle and were
sucking their blood, which made them
all the more ferocious and unmaunge-

built, irons heated, and after two hours
of hard and nervous work the beasts
were driven back into another cage

WORLDS FAIR FIRE.

Illinois building and the Art Gallery Dam.
aged by an IncendiarV.
CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-Another worlds
fair fire broke out in the east wing of
the Illinois state building. 1t was
doubtless of an incendiary origin, but
prompt response on the part of the fire
department prevented damage to
any great extent. The chief danger
from the fire was the probability
that il might extend to the Art gallery,
which is now used as the storehouse
for the Columbian museum. Fears for
the safety of the Art gallery were well
grounded, for early in the progress of
the fire flying brands alighted on its
northwest dome and in u few moments
that portion of the building was ablaze.
Around the base of the small dome
at the corner of the Art building there
was tarred roof and some canvas, and
upon this the flames made rapid prog
ress. Some guards, however, climbed
to the roof and tearing away the blaz-
ing canvas threw 1t to the ground. The
fire on the roof was then easily ex.
tinguished.
Joseph Hallak, fireman, fell from
the roof the Illinois building, but was
not seriously hurt The Illinois build.
ing was sold recently for s1,O5O, and
as only the staff was burned for about
forty-hve feet on the east wing the
damage is inconsiderable.

The leaf-locked hues of Autumn's sea,
That leap out from their tiny caves
And ride the air in brilliant waves
OF FURNISHED gold and oak-brown green,
With red and russell flecked between.
They mount and fall, unfurl and weave
Gay, shifting, shim'ring lights, and heave
Bright pillows wrought of tangled shades
That seek the earth to paint the glades
In patterns intricate and rare.
Mosaics laid with careless care
Wise Natures plan of b~eauty-yet
In Orient's mosque or minaret
Unequaled they.
When comes the low tide of the year
They drift to land, all brown and sere.
In little heaps they huddle down
To seek some rest, and then breeze-blown
They hurry, scurry, toss and fly.

Sits softly Ger them. Then the earth
Takes them again in memory
OF what they were. And every tree
Holds memories, too. bud-bound. that speak

try stands financially. Since the war
prices have gone up everywhere, and on
the top of all this the rice crop and the
tea crop of the present year are about
one-third larger than usual. This fills
the pockets of the farmers with money,
and it adds millions to the wealth of the
country. In estimating the expenses of
the present war. the. economical living

is getting in the way Of loans. She
