Batting AIIIgators.

Detroit Free Press.
We went out to a Mississippi
swamp accompanied BY several me-,
groes, and as the Colonel had prom
ised two bits to the first black man
who sighted an alligator, there was d
feeling of rivalry among them The
day was awful hot, and though alli-
gators were as plenty as frogs, we
beat around for an hour without. get-
ting sight OF one 1t was their hour
for sleep. As we finally gathered on
a long spit Of sand which pre-
jected out into the bayou for 200 feet,
the Colonel called up one ofthe blacks
and said: .sa
"Come, Moses, ifyou'll swim for it
III make the prize half q dollar.
"Sure won't be cotched. niassa ?n
"Ob, there's no danger Here are
FIVE rifles to protect you s''av
The negro went half way down the
spit, and then had deep, dark water
on each side of him. He, closely
scanned the surface in all directions,
and then speedily disrobed and plung-
ed in with great splash.
Hes batting 'm!'' whispered the
Colonel fta aat
But suppose one of the reptiles
seizes him ~ ~ es;
"Then I'll give the money to bis
widow ~
The black swan out about thirty
feet, kicking and splashing, and we
walked slowly down the spit. All of
sudden be screamed out and turned
for the shore, and as we looked we
saw from ten TO fifteen great sanrians
making a bee line for him from as
many different directions. Everybody
opened fire, and the reports of rifles,
the yelIs of the swimmer and the
shouts of the other blacks made an
exciting scene. Two of US took o
big alligator which was directly in the
mans wake, aud, though we fred ten
or twelve shots at his snout at very
close range, be was within three feet
of the negro when the swimmer was
pulled out. He ran his fore feet on the
bank, opened his mouth like barn
door, and as he snapped his jaws to-
gether, piece of stick or tooth few
clear over our heads. The Eve of Us
kept firing away, but he turned and
sailed off as If the bullets were SO
many peas. When the battle ended
two of the reptiles were floating belly
up, and they were hauled ashore and
left to be skinned. Hns.
How do you feel?n asked of the
swimmer when he had dressed.
Didn't have no feelings tall, sab,
he replied. "It was jist like my arms
