The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1879-07-24

1t is an alligator story, is brought
to us by Florida paper, and wo know
not how much tho facts havc been en-
bellished-possibly not all. The
amount oft is that during the extreme
ly dry. weather, the lower Mika Lake,
situated in Manateo county, just natu-
rally dried up---that is, it came very
near doing so-there being left in tile
middle Of it one hole, a big one, and
that hole was the only place in that
region whore tho cattle could get water
to drink. But that hole was valuable
to the alligators as we'll as to the cattle,
and SO the former pre-empted it-thc
stock men fearing the depredations Of
the reptiles supon the cattle, rallied in
force upon the stronghold Of the
gators and slew them-.-slew 1923 in
one day. They were from six to
fourteen feet long.

HAPPILY RUINED.
A D.esas !. sIever aara.ssem.

Arthur Morton sat in his room in his
hotel. He was young man, six and
twenty, tall and slim frame, with face
of great intellectual beauty, dressed in
costly garments, though his toilet was
but indifferently performed.
He wss an orphan, and for some time
had lived at o hotel, It required but a
single glance into his pale features to tell
that he was an invalid. He sat with his
head resting upon his hands, and his
whole frame would every snd anon trem-
Bile as though with some powerful
emotion.
AS the youth sat thus bis door was
opened and an elderly gentleman
entered.
d" All, Doctor, you are moving early
this morning" SAID Morton, as he lazily
rose from his seat and extended his
hand.
"Oh, not early for me, Arthur" re-
turned Weston, with bright smile.
i am an early bird.
swell. have you caught worm this
time -
~ hope it will prove valuable one"
al don't know" sighed the youth.
81 fear q Thousand worms will inhabit
this poor body. ere long"
"Nonsense you're worth half CEN
fury yet" cried the Doctor, giving him
a gentle slap on the shoulders. "But
just tell me, Arthur; how is it with
Crosby7"
I" just as ] told You. All is gone"
q don't understand it, Arthur"
Neither do ]" said the young man
sorrowfully. "That Matthew Crosby
could have done that thing, j would not,
could not have believed. Why, had an
angel appeared to me two weeks ago, and
told me that Crosby was shaky, would
not have paid moments attention to
it. But only think, when smy father
died, he selected for my guardian his
best freud and such j even now believe
Matthew Crosby was, and in his hands
he placed his wealth, and for him to keep
until was of age. And when 4 did
arrive at that period of life, ] left my
money where it was; i had no useifor it.
Several times within three or four years
has Crosby asked me to take my money
and invest 1t, but would not. i babe
him keep it and use it, If he wished. Il
only asked that when 4 wanted money he
would honor my demand ] felt more
sale, in TACT than should have felt had
my money been in bank on deposit"
How much had he when he left?n
He should have had q hundred thou-,
sand pounds"

Alb, You have me on the hip there
:" And yet you must do something,
my SON Heaven knows i would keep

8 No, no Doctor; none of that
But j TELL yon 4 shall. 4 shall pay
your debts, but beyond that j can not
help yau to assist yourself. What do
You say to going to seag"
4 faint smile swept over the youths
pale features at this remark.

Feathery fakes are dancing dsneing
In the gray mornls frCstT gleam;
Hera.ds thes of reindeer prar cisg,
From the gardens OF our dream
From the bright land Of the clicking

Just like sweets of summer gardens,
Where the tulips smile in row.
Feathery flakes are falling, falling
From the skies In softesr way,
and between are rvo ices calling
's5oon IL will be Cbristmas Day"
DON'T you know how in the sp,ingtime
wintry SHOWS are scattered wide,
Ere ihe lovely purple blossoms
Dare TO peep from where they hide
Fea,hsry fakes are sifting, Sitting
Through the chill December air
Here spd there and youser drifting,
Making everything more fair;
Laying winter folds than linen
On this houses and the trees.

Spread our dainty guests to please.
