AN ALLIGATOR WHIPPED BY A Cow
[Americu> (Ga.) Republican. .1-On last Sat
urtlay a man here was looking for some oil
bis hogs that he had missed for several days,
and had neared the river when he heard a
COW believing. Upon going to the bank of
the river and looking on the opposite side
he saw on sand-baF an alligator, cow,
and young calf.
The alligator had the cow and calf be-
tween itself and the river. lie made dart
for the calf, when the cow rushed between
them and fearful fight ensued. While
this was raging the calf got into the woods
and faced about, bleating plaintively. The
alligator was not more than seven feet long,
and struck at the cow furiOusiy with its
tail. The cow avoided as many OF these
blows as possible, but yet received quite a
number one OF which knocked her rolling
over for about ten feet. The alligator
rushed upon her with open mouth, and
tried to seize her by the nose, but she was
up in time to catch 1t upon the horn under
the throat, and threw it over backward, and
before il could get another lick at her Or de-
Fend itself she was on it again. Tossing il
high into the air, it fell into the water with
a splash, and did not venture to the land
again. The COW, after rushing around look
ing for the enemy, ran to her calf, md made
tracks through the woods fol- home, looking
back occasionally to see II she was pur-
sued.

DRESS PLAIN ON SUNDAYS.-It would les
sen the burden OF many who find it hard
to maintain their places in society.
It would lessen the temptation which often
lead men to barter honor and honesty for
display.
III there were less in dress at church, peo-
ple in moderate circumstances would be
more likely to attend.
Universal moderation in dress at church
would improve the worship by the removal
OF many wandering thoughts.
1t would enable all classes OF people 10 at
tend church better in unfavorable weather.
It would lessen on the part OF the rich
the temptation to vanity.
It would lessen on the part OF the poor
the temptation to be envious and mali
cious.
1t would save valuable time on the Lords
Day.
It would relieve our means o. pressure
and thus enable us to do more good for en-
terpriSeS.
