GRIN Of 2 YARDS
Gage Park Alligator Laughs ut
His Keepers.
Avoids All Methods Of Capture
in Bathing Lake.

John Purcell, namesake of the
Santa Fee mechanical onlcial, has es-
capped. John is an alligator. q big
alligator two years old and weighing
eighty pounds. Johns smiles are
two yards long and he is smiling at
his keepers at Gage park.
John developed the jail-breaking
habit several months ago when he
climbed out of his pen and took mp his
abode in the fish lake at the park.
This body Of water is near the street
car depot and John found pleasure in
basking in the sun and watching the
arrivals at the park until Sid Her
cules, keeper OF the zoo, threw a rope
around him and dragged him back to
jail. Then Sid made a thorough in
spection of tho quarters and decided
John would not be able to escape
again.
But John waited his opportunity
and one dark night scaled the walls
of his barrier and took himself to the
Gage park swimming hole. For two
weeks now he has remained out in the
center of the lake. He has been seen
frequently and always with his two
yards of grin.
But what will John do when winter
comes and the water freezes? Will
he den up in the soft mud at the
bottom OF the lake, or will he walk up
to his warm quarters and with chat
tering teeth capitulate?
If he succeeds in wintering in the
lake some persons may forego swim
ming next season, even If alligators
do not eat white persons.

Of war in concentration camps. She
has more French prisoners now
than were taken in the operations
which broke the back Of French re-
sistance in the war; of 1870. She
has an equal number of Russian pris-
,oners. And yet Germany is no
nearer attaining her end in the war
now than when she began taking
those prisoners. Her superior Or
ganization gave her an advantage at
the beginning, which was pressed to
the fullest extent possible Since
then, matters being equalized, fit has

WHAT THE FIGURES PROVE.

(From the New York World.)
The unofficial list of members Of
the next House of Representatives,
as compiled by the Clerk and sent to
the Public Printer, gives 233 Demo
Gratis, 1913 Republicans, Progress
siyes, / Independent and l Socialist
This is a Democratic plurality Of Al
over the Republicans and Demo-
cratic majority of 81 over all 1t is
not only as great a majority as any
party ever needs in Congress but it
is as great a majority as any party
ever ought to have.
If any Republican believes that this
reduced Democratic majority in the
Sixty-fourth Congress means the cleo
ton of o Republican President IN
1916, he is entitled to whatever mea-
sure of comfort he can derive from
it; but he will obtain no consolation
from the records Of Congress dur
ing the last twenty years.
In 1898, following the great NC
Kinley victory of 1896, the Repub-
lican plurality in the House was re-
duced to 20 and the Republican ma
jority was cut to l3; yet in 1900
the Republican vote for President
was greater than in 1896 and the
Democratic vote was smaller.
In 1902 the Republican plurality in
the House was reduced to 30 and
the Republican majority to 80; yet
in 1904 Mr.. Roosevelt's popular
plurality over Judge Parker was
little matter of 2,545, SIS. In 1906 the
Republican House majority of ia in
1904 was reduced to So.
By the time the election of 1915
is held, the policies Of the Wilson adj
ministration will have had fair,
test. The new tariff will have been
in operation three years. The new
Banking and Currency law will have
been in operation two years. The
Clayton amendment to the Antitrust
law will have been in operation
two years. Business, commerce and
industry will have had time to adj
just themselves to new conditions
created by legislation that has been
demanded by all parties for many
years.
A thousand things can happen be-
tween now and election day in 1916
to turn the tide of popular favor; but
there is nothing in the returns this
year to indicate thu defeat of Pres
ident Wilson for reelection. His adj
through its critical period. 1t has
kept its pledges and redeemed its
promises. In the Sixty-fourth Con-
gress it will have an increased ma
jorlty in the Senate and an adequate
working majority in the House.
Mr. Wilson has Jared better than
Mr.. Mckinley did in 1898 or than Mr..
Roosevelt, did in 1902. He has Jared
nearly as well as Mr.. Roosevelt did
in 1906. What more could the Dem
ocratic party expect?
/. The Republican partisans who twist

But any woman who entertains

Proper Way to Show Gratitude 10 Do.
H., ing Good to Others. n
Thanksgiving presupposes thankful
ness. One cannot give thanks unless
he feels thankful, and this feeling is a
cultivated habit. AS an expression of
simple politeness it is not an innate
but an inbred trait. Much more Is this
the case when we consider the thanks
that are due to n benefcent Creator.
In time when luxuries are counted as
necessities sense of repletion or dis
satisfaction is often felt which makes
us blind to the everyday, commonplace
favors that we enjoy. Make list Of
the essential and vital boons with
which your life is blessed and your
heart will begin to glow with thankful:
ness. , ~ 1
1t Is no accident that "think' and
thank" come from the same root.
Thanklessness is usually the result OF
thoughtlessness. But we are more apt
to be thoughtless about the favors that
come from God through the, working
of his beneHcent laws than about the
material gifts that come from the hand
Of a fellow man. Stevenson has well
said: Keep your eyes open to your
mercies. That part Of piety Is eternal.
and the man who forgets to be thank
full has fallen asleep in life"
Above all. the true thanksgiving is
thanksgiving, in the deed Of the hand
as well as the word Of the lip. By
giving some one else reason for
thankfulness through your kindness
you provide proper outlet for the
brimming, overdowing gratitude Of
your own heart. For the common pros
perity, for your individual blessings, for
what you have not as well US what you
have, "in everything give thanks
