Insulting an Alligator.

Nov, then" said the colonel,
"here's the rifle and there's the ALI
gator. Get down behind this log
and take dead rest and aim for his
eye."
The reptile wasn't over one hun
dred feet away, lying on the shore OF
the lagoon to dry his scaly back. II
he had eyes they were shut, but got
down with the determination to plant
a bullet somewhere back of the base
of his great jaws.
"Hold on" whispered the colonel,
"you can't hit nothing with the gun
wobbling all over the log. Steady
now"

was fishing for the right spot, when
the colonel broke in with:
"Great lands but see shaking. II

"Well, declare, but the gun isn't

another long breath, and just then
the alligator opened his mouth like
the door of shed and yawned as
naturally as a human being. l look

the colonel nudged me and said:
"Say, don't believe we loaded that
gun after shooting at that buzzard !"
He was right. We had to load it.,

ton detected smell of musk and
heard wallowing in the sand, and
as we rose up that blessed old reptile
put his fore feet on the log to look
over.
"Now give it to him!' shouted the
colonel, and / raised the gun and
banged away. 1t was a Winchester,
and l banged again. The alligator
looked at me in puzzled way, and
at the third report he backed off and
started for the lake. l followed and
opened "leaden hail" on him.
Twice he turned his head and gave
me look of reproach, and as he was
about to enter the water he put up his
fore foot and wiped tear from the
corner of his left eye. l had grieved

Josh Billings and theS Bunco Steerer.

"Josh Billings" had a great hatred
of shams, humbugs and cant. Clever
rogues were his favorite study and he
was greatly delighted once at being
taken for fresh countryman by a
bunco steerer. His rough, careless
dress, collarless shirt and thick boots,
together with a queerly benevolent
and confding expression seemed to
stamp the old gentleman as promis-
ing subject. One day, strolling down
Broadway, spruce young chap rush
ed up to him and shook him warmly
by the hand.

"howare you? ?"
81 guess you're wrong, young man.
replied Josh mildly.
"Why, amt you Timothy Morton,
of Syracuse ?"
'"No. sir. I'm James w. Bailey, of
Rochester"
The young man apologized and
went off, and two blocks further on
his pal came up TO Josh, sprinkling
smiles.
"Why, Mr.. Bailey, how do you do
How's everybody at Rochester"
you're wrong, young man." said
Josh with childlike grin. "But
I'm Timothy Morton. of Syracuse. -

CARPETS.

| An Interesting Scrap OF Carpet History.
In 1855 English Administers were first
made. But it was not until 1749 that a
loom was constructed which would pro-
duce Brussels carpet, and just here is
an exceedingly interesting anecdote,
which has been handed down from
father to son rs an inviolable truth:
During 1880 and 1875 John Broom
travelled through Tourney and Brussels
studying the stitch which was then
known as Brussels stitch. In Brussels,
particularly, weavers were at the time
making carpet named after the town
the Brussels carpet. Broom studied
with much earncstness the mystery Of
the manufacture, and finally made the
acquaintance in Tourney OF a weaver
understanding the secret. He and this
weaver Immediately repaired to En-
gland, and near Mount Skipet, Kidder-
minister, they put up the first Brussels
loom, 1749. They operated in absolute
secrecy, but in time their modus
opcrandi was exposed. Broom and his
Belgian workman laborcd night and
day, and 1t being known where their
operations were conducted, some enter
prising fellow climbed to the window
and, night after night from his pcrilous
perch outside, he studied the operations
of the mechanism within, until he was
able to carry away in his mind model
of the Brussels loom. Then second
firm and several others soon came into
the field. and in 1853 Kidderminster
was doing considerable in the way Of
Brussels. To-day there is hardly any
thing else but Brussels made in Kidder.

Clicks Sad Disappointment.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-No Democrat is in
a worse frame of mind than ex-Gov. Click Of
Kansas. He came here in February brim-
full of the idea that if he could get that rec
ognition under the new administration which
carried with it good assortment of federal
patronage, be could make Kansas Demo-
cratic state. Various able statesmen, John
Martin and Ike Sharp, came on from Kansas
to back up the governors theory. No dele
CATION has worked more assiduously. At first
the Kansans had dress parades for the
presidents benefit, It'll they thought their
forces were becoming too familiar at the
White house. Day after day they made the
rounds of the departments the number
dwindling as time went by. About the only
person who seemed to take kindly to Gov.
Clicks idea Of revolutionizing Kansas was
Secretary Manning, and he received but
mild impression. The governor fixed his
eyes on the cabinet to start with, but shifted
about from one candidacy TO another until
finally he not only got nothing, but fell into
such bad odor at the postoffice department
that his recommendation for tue Kansas post
offices were ignored with single exception.
This is all that Click has to show for his stay
and his labors in Washington. He Is wealthy
and didn't need any office so far as that con-
sideration goes, but having been governor of
the state he was fired with political am mbition.
He sat himself up as the leader of the Kansas
Democracy and he goes home now more de
jected than the Kentuckians, il that is pos
sibe.
