The Alligator Fever.

| 1t beats all how i northern man does
banker to shoot an alligator just as soon
as he gets beyond the Ohio river, and
the further south he goes the stronger
grows the feeling. It's sort of ''buck
fever" and nothing will cure it except
the gore of the reptile. A chap from
Rhode Island went down to Biloxi from
New Orleans with the party. Small al
ligators were plenty enough along the
creeks and bitches, and every time the
Clam State man saw one he almost
kicked his boots off. He tackled every
body around Biloxi for an alligator
hunt, and he finally paid a darkey s.
to drive him to a lake four or five miles
away, where the saurians were said to
be numerous enough to crowd each
other out of water The BOYS had been
over in the morning and fixed things.
A rope was tied to either end of water
soaked log and led into the bushes, apd
no sooner had the hunter got down and
discovered a movement in the water
than he opened FIRE.
''Dat's your game, boss" said the
darkey as be seated himself in the shade,
and the way that old log was bombarded
was a caution. The man made eye
shots, and line shots, and dead shots,
and after he had fired about twenty-five
times he began to wonder why his game
didn't turn toes up.
Takes heap O lead, boss, but you
is trublin' him mighty bad" encouraged
the darkey, and the bombardment was
renewed with determination to die in
the last ditch. Pretty soon man broke
from the bushes to the left, and in a
voice of authority called out
Shooting alligators out of season is
an offense punished by fine of not less
than So"
"N-o-a!"
How many shots have you fired ?''
"Only thirty-nine."
Shooting off a revolver in the State
OF Mississippi, except in self-defense, is
a fine of So for each time! Have you a
permit ?'
Permit for what ?''
ITO shoot at Col. Ford's alligators.
If not, he can recover damages not to
exceed $500. Did you cross that field Pr
Yes"
That's trespass, and the fine is not
less than $25. You must come with me!''
but, sir-I-i'
81 will bring up my horse and buggy
and you must 60 to the county seat ~
The constable started. So did
Rhode Island. They went in opposite
directions. The Rhode Islander came
into Biloxi on canter, settled his hotel
bill without stopping to count the
change, and picking up his satchel he
busted off along the railroad track as if
called to death-bed. When 1 found
him in Mobile a few days later he had
shaved off his whiskers and blackened
his eyebrows. He also complained of
a lame back and corns on his feet.
'.Sayn' says he as he carefully looked
around for listeners, IF old Mississi ppi
feels so stuck up over few ponds and
alligators and constables she can keep
'em and be hanged to her! 1 druther

In the village of townsville. N. Y,
live couple who have probably enjoy
ed longer welded life than any other
couple in the State. if not in the Union.
They are the venerable Peter Bogart
and his wife, who were married in 1903.
There is but few days difference in
their ages, both being nearly o. Mrs.
Bogart is in excellent health, and walks
mile daily to minister to the wants OF
an invalid daughter. The venerable
couple recently celebrated the seventy
fifth anniversary of their marriage,
when there were entdescendants to
the fifth generation. A sister of Mr..
Bogart's, age nearly 10, lives with them,
with faculties so well preserved that
she remembers the occasion of the wed
ding, although she was not years old
at the time. Delaware county seems
conducive to longevity. Corn ST. John
lived for three-quarters of century
there, and died at the age of 103. Aunt
Prudence Larkie, of Pease Eddy, died
recently at 107.

A Curious Monkey Story,

A brave. active, intelligent terrier,
belonging to lady one day discovered
a monkey belonging to an itinerant
organ grinder seated upon bank with
in the grounds, and at once made dash
towards him. The monkey, who was
attired in jacket and hat. awaited
the onset with such undisturbed tran
guilty that the dog halted within few
feet of him to reconnoitre. Both ami
mails took long, steady stare at each
other, but the dog was evidently re-
covering from his surprise, and about to
make spring for the intruder. AT
this critical juncture the monkey, who
had remained perfectly quiet hitherto,
raised his paw and gracefully saluted
by lifting his hat. The effect was
magical ; the dogs head and tail drop
ped, and he sneaked off and entered the
house, refusing to leave it until he was
satisfied that his polite but mysterious
guest had departed. His whole de-
meanor showed plainly that he felt the
monkey was something g uncanny,"
and not to be meddled with.

Recently a train on the Northern Pa
citic Railroad found its way apparently
barred by the furious heat of burning
wood-ricks along the track. The train
stopped, the rails were examined to see
if they had warped, and then it was de-
cided to run the gauntlet A passenger
thus described the passage, which was
made at the rate of seventy miles an
hour, to a reporter of the Portland Ore
gonian: "We shut down the windows
and closed the doors tight just before
we started, but the air inside the cars
was like the breath from furnace and
the whole train seemed to be on fire.
The flames licked the windowglass
savagely, and, although it lasted only a
few moments, it was an experience |
shall never forget and never again wish
to undergo. l can't help but think of
the TERRIBLE danger we passed through.
If one rail of the track beneath US, hay
ing been warped by the heat, had given
away, we would every one of us have
been roasted alive. 1t makes me shud-
der even now"

Mess. Robinson & Hinrichs:-We take
this means of attesting our high opinion
of Hinrichs' american Corn Cure. Our
opinion of its value in removing Co7ns
and Warts is based on the fact that we
have used it and have found that it will
do just what You claim for it. As cure
for Co1ns and Warts it is deserving of
the highest praise, and we take pleasure
in recommending it to all who are afflict-
ed, knowing that it will effect cure in
every instance.

TEMPERANCE.

To the Pastors and People Of the Christian !
Church in the United States and Canada
For years the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union has petitioned the
Evangelical Alliance to designate il
the programme OF the week of prayer,
day of prayer for the triumph Of the
cause Of temperance. Ministers, mis-
sionaries, and Christian laymen Of
every denomination and in all parts of
the world, have heartily endorsed this
effort, both as individuals, and i'll
many instances by their associated ac-
ton in Conferences and Synods. Hon.
VIM. E, Dodge, of New York, Presi-
dent of the American Branch Of the
Evangelical Alliance, was the first
man TO sign our petition four years
ago, and DR.. J. n. Potts of
Toronto, sent the endorsement
of the Canadian Branch within
the present year. The United Pregby-
ter.an Church Of North America, at its
recent General Assembly, directed its
clerk, Rev. Dr.. VIM. J. Reid, of Pitts
burgh, to designate day on which
the cause of temperance should be
made the subject Of prayer and con-
ference, in case the Alliance failed to
do SO. Contrary to our hopes, the
programme OF the Alliance of 1883
has no allusion to the subject save to
include the sin of intemperance among
those for which "confession" is to be
made. We believe that the Church Of
Christ is called upon not only to con-
TESS but to renounce this sin, and in
the strength Of grace to overthrow the
liquor traffic in this land. We there
fore respectfully and earnestly ask all
Christians who are hke-minded with
/ us, to join with the United Presbyter-
ian Church andthe National w. G. L.
T., in dedicating Tuesday, January
9th, 1888, as day OF prayer to the
) God of Nations, that His Militant
Army may be so endued with power
from on high, that it shall be indeed
: mighty for the pulling down of strong
holds, and that a PentecOstal power,
: like that of the Woman's Crusade OF
| 1874, may rest upon us all, to the emo
5 that in the customs Of society and by
the laws of the land, there shall be
i turning from the use and sale OF alco'
. holic liquors as a drink.

: ton, we are yours for the universe
