The animals were being taken to
the railway station in van when the
vehicle collided in the fog with tram
car The van was broken open and
one of the lions jumped. 1t sprans
savagely at the threats Of the horses
that were drawing the van. The horses
tried to run away. This excited the
seven lions and the tiger which were
still in the van, and they, too, broke
loose with a roar.
Then followed an exciting hunt, in
which 80 armed policemen took part
In all 500 shots were fired. Six of the
lions and the tiger we're killed. The
other two lions were captured alive

Why We Give Thanks.

Thanksgiving to God Is fitting, be-
cause we have countless reasons for
1t. God is our father, and he fills all
our days with blessings. There is new
er a moment when we have not some
thing new for which to praise him.
There is blessing in everything he
does for us and sends to us. We should
be most ungrateful If we did not give
thanks unto God. Prayer should not
be all clamor for new favors. 1t should
be full of recognition of mercies and
good things. 1t is good, also, to give
thanks, because 1t makes our own lives
sweeter, truer and more beautiful Joy
is beauty. Praise is comedy. One who
does not give thanks lacks the high
est element of loneliness. Ingratitude
is dark and somber; praise is light and
beautiful. Giving thanks also makes
us greater blessings to others. Prais-
ing people scatter inspiration
wherever they go. They make others
happier, Drawer, stronger. Our days
should be full of praise and song. Then
God will be pleased with our lives and
this world will be made sweeter and
better.-J. r. Miller. D. d.

Drastic Action May Now Be Taken by

gress Assembled.

Mexico City.-Regardless of rumors
and Notwithstanding the insistence OF
far-seeing friends, General Huerta APP
peared more determined Sunday than
at any time during last week to re-
tain the presidency and carry out his
plans of installing the substitute con-
gress.
Huerta reiterated that he continued
to be head of the Mexican govern
ment, and the fact that he took no
step toward preventing the Inaugural
ton of the new congress, as demanded
by the United States, was construed
at the embassy and the legations as
indicative of what may he expected
in the future. The representatives OF
the majority of the foreign govern
ments appeared to believe that Gen
eral Huerta has brought affairs to
such a point that drastic action may
be necessary.
"Oh, no; l shall not quit" Huerta
said. Il shall continue, just as l have
been doing, to put forth my best eff
forts to bring about the pacification
of the country. and thus fulfil the
promise l made on taking office
1t was suggested to the president
that conditions might become such
that foreigners, particularly Ameri-
cans, would be in imminent danger.
He agreed that this might be so, add
ing:
in that case l shall do all can to
protect them"

TRAIN THIEVES GET GEMS
Steal Bag of Diamonds Worth $4,000
From Berth of Travelling
Salesman.

st. Paul, Mimi. Grossman, Chi
cago diamond merchant, who was rob-
bed of $4,000 worth of diamonds on
a train before 1t entered the Twin
Cities Sunday, told the police that
the robbery had left him practically
penEiless.
A reward of $4,000 has been offered
for the arrest of the thieves.
The fact that more than $3.50 in
cash was left undisturbed by the
thieves caused the police to believe
the diamond robbery had been careful
ly planned. 1t also is believed that
Grossman was placed under the infiu-
ence of drug by the thieves.

spirit of Thanksgiving must ever be

DIPLOMAT WON'T RESIGN.
AMERICAN MINISTER TO CHILE
WOULD HOLD ON.
FIctcher's Case May Establishh Per-
manence or Transicncy of Jobs in
Foreign Countries.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Basing his
position on the fact that he took the
diplomatic civil service examination
as stepping stone toa career, Henry
+. Fletcher, the American minister to
Chile, will not tender his resignation
before the inauguration of President
elect Wilson. This determination,
made known here today, probably will
form the basis for test Of the per-
manency of the civil service as it ap-
plies to the diplomatic branch Of the
government service.
Fletcher entered the diplomatic
service as the result Of an examina-
tion and worked up from a minor sec
retaryship to the post Of charge deaf
faires in Peking, China, where he came
into prominence in connection with
the Hukwang railway loan. Because
of the ability he showed while in
Peking and his loyalty to the policies
Of the government, Mr.. Fletcher was
| appointed to the post Of minister to
Chile. Although Fletcher always has
been Republican he has made public
his intention not to follow the recog-
! nized custom of Offering his resigna-
ton before the inauguration of the
new president.
A number Of American ministers,
including IL in Latin-America alone,
and one ambassador, Mr.. Rockhhill at
Constantinople, have risen from the
| lower grades in accordance with the
system Of examination and promo
| ton created by executive order.
Many officials Of this status, who
| can assert that civil service principles
have governed their appointment
may follow Mr.. Fletcher's example.
Larz Anderson from Japan was the
| first of the American ambassadors to
tender his resignation, so far as the
official records OF the state depart
ment disclosed. In the usual course
the ambassadors and most of the
American ministers tender their res
ignations to the incoming president
| especially where there is change II
| the dominant party. This is done as
matter of courtesy, in order to af
ford the new administration full op-
| portunity to adjust itself and learn OF
the state of business in each Of the
embassies and legations before max
ing changes. 1t is said at the state
department that probably this course
will be pursued in the present case
and ia is believed that a number OF
such designations already have beer
addressed to President elect Wilson
and that certainly they will reach hin
before March 4, though the depart
ment officials are not informed o,
| them.

ONLY ONE BATTLESH|P,
HOUSE CUTS DOWN ESTIMATES
OF BIG NAVY ADVOCATES.
One Dreadnought, Six DestrOyers and
-Four Submarines Included i'm Meas
urc.

Washington, Feb. 26.-After four
days of debate, accompanied at times
by scenes of disorder seldom witnessed
in the capitol, the house tonight pass
ed the naval appropriation bill carry
ing approximately 13S,0OO,0OO and
authorizing the construction of one
battleship, six torpedo boat destroyers
and four submarines. An amendme.
to provide for one battleship : <N
of two as recommended by
mittee was carried by a vot If ia
to 156.
An amendment offered by Repre-
sentative Calder of New York and
adopted requires that the battleship
shall be constructed in a government
navy yard
AS reported by the committee, the
bill carries appropriations aggregat-
ing $146,000,000 and provided for two
battleships, a transport and a supply
ship. Points Of order by Representa-
tive Sisson of Mississippi in the COM
mittee Of the whole struck out the
transport and supply ship. Represen-
tative Alder of Missouri, the chair
man. holding there was no authority
for the appropriations because no YES
sells of this type ever had been au-
thorized before
Until today, the big navy" men,
headed by Re preventative Hobson Of
Alabama and Representative Ayers of
New York, had been confident that
the two battleshps programme would
go through and the result was by no
means certain until the final roll call
| on the amendment. 1t had been con-
tended that the Democrats were about
equally divided on the appropriation
| and that the Democratic leaders would
| take no active part in the fight against
the committees report. Today, how
ever, Mr.. Underwood spoke for one
| battleship and, when the vote on the
amendment came, 146 Democrats
voted for the amendment and only 81
against it. OF the Republicans 1O2
voted against the amendment and IS
for it.
| There was no roll call on the pas
sage Of the bill as amended but Repre-
| sentative R6ddenberry Of Georgia held
up the vote long enough to predict
that the senate would send the meas
ure back with the provision for two
battleships inserted.
While the amendment for one bat
tleship which was offered by Repre-
sentative Tribble of Georgia was pend
ing, Representative Hobson introduced
an amendment to authorize four bat
tleships, three battleships and one bat
tleship and a dreadnought cruiser.
Each proposition was lost by an
overwhelming vote.
Throughout the consideration of
the bill there were heated exchanges
between members and frequent dis
order. The climax came today when
Representative Murray of Massachu-
sets, standing before the speakers
table demanding recognition by the
chairman, was thrown bodily down
four steps and dragged toward his
seat by an assistant sergeant-at-arms
