Sir C. A. Spring -Rice, New British Ambassador. Sir Cecil Arthur Spring -Rice, who has been named as the successor to James Bryce. British ambassador to the United States, will not take up his duties until all pending negotiations have been cleared up. Some time ago Mr. Bryce intimated his desire to re- tire, but has prolonged his stay in Washington at the request of the Brit- ish government. Mr. Bryce is retiring in order to devote himself to the com- pletion of two works on which he has long been engaged. Mr. Bryce's successor has been Brit- ish minister at Stockholm since 1908. Sir Cecil is 110 stranger in Washington, having served as secretary of legation under Lord Pauncefote. He was charge d'affaires at Teheran in 1900 and min- ister to Persia In 1906-8. Like Mr. Bryce. he is an Irishman, coming from the family of Lord Monteagle. He is regarded as an able man, who has shown great promise, but is of a different type of diplomatist from Mr. Bryce. He is fifty-three years old and was created knight commander of St. Michael and St. George in 1906. A Cat's Bravery. Cats show great bravery' in protect- ing their kittens. There,ts no enemy that may approach a cat witb kittens and remain unattacked. Once a cat was playing with her children about a barnyard when suci denly a large hawk appeared on the scene and. seizing a kitten, soared away. The mother cat gave a tre- mendous jump, caught the bird and made it drop its prey. A dreadful bat- tle ensued. The hawk fought with battling wings, sharp talons and crook- ed beak. Mrs. Puss used mouth and claws, and though deprived of one eye she struggled nntil she succeeded En breaking the hawk's wings and finally laying it dead. Nearly exhaust- ed and bleeding, she tore off her ad- versary's head In great delight and. regardless of her sufferings, ran to the bleeding kitten, licked its wounds that the hawk's talons had made and purred over the kitten with a great feeling of content and happiness.-Phli- adelphia Ledger.
