BABY LION A CHRISTMAS GIFT
African Pet Remains in Good Standing
for Just Three Hours, and
No Longer.
Freaks in Christmas gifts were even
more numerous than ever this year,
but few recipients were able to boast
of something so unusual as a baby
lion. One of the cosmopolitans who
frequent the Cafe des Beaux Arts, and
is a friend of its proprietor, Louis Bus
tanoby, and Mrs. Bustanoby, received
from Africa a few days ago a baby
lion. He gave it to Mrs. Bustanoby
for a Christmas gift She naturally
was delighted.
The kittenish thing was playful and
affectionate and* was so much fun—
for a little while. But the baby lion
did uot last in the Bustanoby house
hold through Christmas day. Lion
kittens are not among the sstablished
furnishings or garnishment ideals of a
New York apartment. They ma'-e
friends with the bearskin rugs, try to
bite the animals in pictures on the
wall and regard jumping on th plane
w-ith claws stretched, so that they may
not fall, as lelightful sport
Mrs. Bustanoby’s lion lasted as a
companion about three hours. Now
he is among friends in a Long Island
private menagerie where probably he
is happier. The Bustanoby apartment
is beginnning to look the sem as be
fore his arrival.—New York Herald.

TWENTY TOWNS FLAT
ITALY’S EARTHQUAKE ECLIPSES
MESSINA HORROR.
THOUSANDS DEAD AND INJURED
In Ruins of Avezzano 4.000 Persons
Were Buried Alive; King Emman
uel Directs Work.
Rome—The toll of dead and injured
in the great earthquake that has
swept over central and southern Italy
has not yet been made up, hut ad
vices reaching Rome indicate the
over growing extent of the disaster.
Towns with thousands of inhabitants
have been overthrown and from some
of these come details which show an
immense loss of life.
Filled With Dead.
Avezzano, via Rome.—Avezzano is
filled with dead, wounded and wreck
ed homes. It is like the ruins of a
cemetery. Those whv escaped the
destruction caused by the earth
quake went heroically to work to res
cue those penned under the fallen
walls. Nearly all the civic officials of
Avezzano, incuding the mayor, the
under prefect, the judges, the com
mander of the carbineers, parish
priests, monks and nuns perished.
The college, with more than 100 girl
students, collapsed. The governor of
prisons, jailers and the doctors and
patients in the hospitals were carried
down in the wreckage.
Twenty Towns Destroyed.
So far as is known, about twenty
towns have been absolutely leveled. '
while an almost equal number suffer
ed serious damage. In all these
places persons were killed or injured.
King Victor Emmanuel himself direct
ed the work at Avezzano, where the
piteous appeals of persons caught be
neath wreckage could be plainly
heard.
It is estimated that in Avezzano
4,000 persons are buried alive, some
of them school children, in an institu
tion which collapsed. Only four sol
diers of the garrison of 400 in the
town escaped when the barracks fell
Sora with its population of 20,000
was almost entirely destroyed. All the
municipal and government authori
ties perished. Four hundred and fifty
bodies already have been taken from
the ruins there and a large number
of injured are under treatment.
Messina Horror Eclipsed.
London.—A news dispatch received
here from Rome says that the mem
ber of the Chamber of Deputies for
Lipari has telegraphed to the capital
that the disaster surpasses the Mes
sina catastrophe, the ruin is more
widespread and the injury to life and
limbs will be greater.
Cannot Estimate Dead.
Rome.—Demolished or partly de
molished towns dot that part of Italy j
from Naples northward to Ferrarra
and crosswise the peninsula from
the Tyrrenbian to the Adriatic seas,
over which the earthquake passed.
Thousands of dead lie beneath the
mounds of debris, which once were
dwellings, churches and public insti
tutions. which crumbled under the
earth's vibrations. Not even an esti
mate of the aggregate fatalities is ob
tainable. as numerous places are still
isolated, owing to the severance of
telegraphic, telephonic and railroad
communication. It is known, however,
that Avezzano is a necropolis, and
that also in Sora. some twenty-five
miles to the southeast, a large num
her of lives were lost. In Avezzano
and vicinity it is estimated that
15,000 perished and that the dead in
Soro will total 1,000.
Destruction Everywhere.
A tour of the towns and villages
around Lake Fuclno disclosed vast
destruction. The town of Magliano.
in the territory of the Marsi. seems
to have been ripped open. Its historic
belfry, which rose about 300 feet, col
lapsed. In the church below, all the
chapels were ruined except that of
the Savior, where an immense cruci
fix is standing intact, while everything
about is scattered and broken. At
Pescina the cathedral belfry and
the house of the bishop have entirely
disappeared. No trace of Monsignor
Madnoli. the bishop of Pescina. and
twenty Carmelites living with him.
has been found and it is feared that
all have perished.
Hundred Left in Avezzano.
London.—A dispatch to the Morning
Post from Rome says: “In the Marsi.
the region around Lake Fucino, at
Avezzano there are 20.000 victims of
the earthquake Fifteen other towns
in the Marhi have been destroyed and
others damaged. Of the 12,000 in
habitants of Avezzano, only 100 sur
vive.”
Panama Protests to British.
Panama.—The republic of Panama
has filed a note of protest with the
British minister, resident, against the
violation of her neutrality last month,
when British and Japanese warships
entered Panaman waters to take on
coal and supplies.
Kansas Welcomes Exiles.
Topeka, Kas.—Establishment of an
immigration agency which would wel
come to Kansas farms workers of Eu
rope was recommended to the state
legislature by Gov. Arthur Capper.
Autos Effect Car Business.
San Francisco.—Common second
hand automobiles, which compete with
street cars for 5-cent fares, are cited
by the United Railroads here as the
reason it will make no extensions this
year. The company recently cancelled
an order for 250 new cars.
Rob Bank and Kill Deputy.
Muskogee. Okla.—Bandits robbed
the bank of Terlton, Okla., killed e
deputy sheriff and escaped with $3.

Costumes for the Winter Promenade
THAT particular kind of fur-cloth (or
"fabric-fur.’‘ as some people prefer to
call it), known as "Pomoire," is shown
here made up into a costume for the
winter promenade. V :h high collar
and cuffs of fitch fur and smart fasten
ing of cord and buttons, it reflects
something of the military modes. But
the jacket, or short coat, is strikingly
original, topping off the straight scant
underskirt and long full tunic with
which all the world of fashion is more
than familiar.
The coat merits study, as it is un
like any other without departing from
the lines that are decreed as correct
for this season. It is double-breasted,
short in front and sloping downward
toward the sides. At the back it is
lengthened into a square tab which
extends somewhat below the middle of
the entire length of the figure. The
sleeves are straight and loose and a
diminutive cape extends over them
md across the back. It terminates at
each side of the front in the jacket.
Following the line of the cape a flat,
:urn-over collar lies below the stand
ng collar of fur. By this arrangement
:he fur collarette may be made sepa
-ately aDd not always worn. There is
a slight blousing of the front of thf
jacket at the waist line and the merest
hint of a slope inward at the sides.
One could not ask a better or more
graceful management of the fashion
able silhouette. But the fabric-furs
really look best when used with
smooth-faced cloths in making up a
costume. With skirt or tunic bordered
with Pomoire. and a short coat of it
a fine combination results.
One of the smartest of cloth gowns
shows a plain skirt with long narrow
triangles of the fabric-fur let in, one
at each side of the front, one at each
side of the back and one at the center
back. The short coat of cloth is
lengthened by a skirt sewed to it and
cut to ripple about the bottom. It ex
tends to the knees, but not across th*
front of the figure, as it hangs frou
the sides and back of the short jacket
There is a band of Pomoire, whicl
forms a border about the skirt of the
coat. Cuffs and long revers ar© also
made of it.
For wear in mild climates the cos
tume trimmed with fur-cloth or using
fur-cloth with plain cloth in its com
position, is the most pleasing of the
season's new productions.
A Few Novelties in Hosiery
NOT many novelties in hosiery are
in evidence, fashion inclining still
to favor the plain, firmly woven stock
ing of silk. But for those who like
a little eccentricity occasionally some
new features have been brought out
in the weaving of hose, and for dressy
wear there is something to report of
hosiery woven in lace patterns and in
two-color combinations.
Plain hose of black or colored silk
with heel, foot and toe re-enforced, and
hose similarly woven in lisle thread or
cotton, of finely twisted thread, are
the only varieties that prove interest
ing to the great majority of women.
It is likely, however, that the new
silk hose woven in a lace pattern over
the instep and ankle will come in for
much favorable consideration with the
advent of spring. Stockings of this
kind show a panel of openwork, usu
ally in striped effects, at the front,
that is very pretty.
The catchiest of the novelties in
silk hose is a double stocking. The
underhose is of plain silk in a color.
White, light blue, flesh, lavender, and
pink or even light green, supplies the
color background. Over this is a
stocking of very open-meshed net in
block. When flesh or pink is used
to? the foundation it is hardly no
ticeable when tne stocking is on,
and the effect is that of an open
meshed net stocking with the pink
flesh of the leg showing through each
mesh. The colored foundations are
presumably to be chosen to match the
gown, and for summer wear this is
a novelty that may flourish. The com
bination of black and white, worn with
oxfords or slippers, ought to look es
pecially well with white dresses.
Another attractive color introduc
tion is managed by weaving the foot
and lower part of the leg in black silk
and the upper part (beginning at the
middle of the calf) in a color. Stock
ings showing black combined with al!
the light colors make an appeal on
the strength of pretty color combina
[ tions. All the visible portion of this
hosiery, with either low or high shoes
| is black.
Silk hose in black and all colors,
embroidered with small flower designs
in self-color are not new but are
always in favor. Occasionally small
blossoms in contrasting colors are to
be found on black stockings. Among
the finest hosiery smart white clock
ing appears as a finish on black silk.
But the strongest tendency of the
fashion is away from contrasts in the
matter of decorations.
JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
For Shiny Serge.
When a dark serge suit or dress
gets shiny-looking with wear, sponge it
well with hot vinegar, and press it
in the usual wray. No odor of vinegax
will remain.
Color Effect on Dew.
Dew is a great respecter of colors.
Take pieces of glass or board and
paint them yellow, green, red and
black. Expose them at night, and it
will be found that the yellow will be
covered with moisture, the green will
be damp, but that the red and black
will be perfectly dry.
Responsibility Ended.
Hue youngster’s grandmother and
aunt had been visiting him, Mrs.
Homer Hoch of Marion relates. He
had been including them in his pray
ers saying God bless each of the im
mediate family and them also. The
night of the day on which they left,
he prayed his prayers as usual, in
eluding them. Then he took a sec
ond thought and said, “Oh, no, I foi
got. Grandma and auntie are gone
so you needn’t mind about them anj
more.”—Kansas City Star.

CLASSED THEM WITH DONKEY
Remark of Humorous Auctioneer
Something of a Reflection on
the Gathering.
It was at an open-air sale of farm
stock. The auctioneer had been ex
patiating with his usual eloquence
on the merits of the various lots.
There was practically “nothing do
ing,” not a single bid being forth
coming for a fine lot of sheep. Just
as the knight of the hammer was
about to declare the animals with
drawn a donkey near by brayed loudly.
“Thank heavens!” muttered the
auctioneer. “We've got a start at
last.”
That put the crowd in a good hu
mor. and bidding became brisk. A
good price having been reached, bring
ing down his hammer, the auctioneer
exclaimed:
“I told you it was only necessary
for one of you to set the ball a-roll
ing.”
IS CHILD CROSS
Look. Mother! If tongue is
coated, give “California
Syrup o^Figs.”
Children love this “fruit laxative,”
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result is
they become tightly clogged with
! waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don’t eat.
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full of cold, has sore throat,
stomach-ache or diarrhoea, hasten.
Mother! See if tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful of “California
Syrup of Figs,” and in a few hours all
the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the sys
tem, and you have a well child again.
Millions of mothers give “California
Syrup of Figs” because it is perfectly
harmless: children love it, and it nev
er fails to act on the stomach, liver
and bowels.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of “California Syrup of Figs,” which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
i printed on the bottle. Adv.
What He Wanted.
A man went to order a wedding cake
the other day.
“I'm getting married,” he said, “and
I want a cake.”
“Well, it’s the latest thing, “said the
| shopgirl, “to have wedding cakes in
j harmony with the bridegroom's call
ing or profession. Thus a journalist
has a spice cake, a musician ax. oat
cake, an athlete a cup cake, a man
who loafs on his friends a spouge
cake, and so forth ai>d so on. What
is your calling, please?”
“I am a pianist.”
“Then, of course,” said the girl,
“you'll want a pound cake.”
