Saved by st, Bernard Dog.

1t was the first act Of Cardinals
trained beasts In the Parker animal
show at the Hippodrome in Kansas
City Saturday night. Princess
Dixie" Whitman was in the arena
putting her animals through their
PAGES. 1t was a group act, including
one St. Bernard dog, Jack two pumas
and two leopards, one Of which is
called Ethel.
The trainer smoothed Ethel's
spotted head, turned her back to
reach for another stool and the beast
sprang upon her. Then it began to
tear its victim with claws and tangs.
One hundred spectators ran for the
exits.
George Donovan, the announcer,
and Cardona heard the screams Of the
woman and ran to her assistance with
their training forks. They forgot
that Jack, the dog, was on the job.
With low growl the dog sprang and
landed on the leopard. During the
fight that followed Cardona jumped |
into the cage and, aided by Donovan,
beat the leopard off with training
forks. M
Princess Dixie" was taken from
he cage. The dog had to be dragged
rom the leopard. The woman's in
uries are not serious.

clared that such q thing as butter

"A genius might be able to form a

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The assist.

sent to Senator Curtis and Congress
man Calderhead this letter:
1.-THE most desirable site for the pur.
pose Of public building in Abilene,
Kansas, is the property on the north
east cornsr Of Spruce and Srd streets,
115 on Sruce street to an alley, owned
by the Knights Templars. No offer
has been made Of this property and
the department is naturally unwilling
to condemn it. II it cannot be Sc
cured the department will be obliged
to accept the property on the south
east corner Of Buckeye and North 3rd
streets 115x146 feet which has been
offered for $75OO."
1t is understood that the knight
Templar lodge will not sell the first
site mentioned and the department
will probably complete the purchase
