THE HUNTERS RUSE.

How the Slayer of "BIg Ben" Got His
Prize Conveyed Home.
Years ago, near place called Enter
prise, on point jutting into Lake Mon
roe, during all bright days certain Zig
alligator used to lie basking in the sun.
He was we'll known to the whole neigh
borhood. The entire coterie of sport
men at the only hotel used to call him
big Ben," and proud hunters would
talk, and even dream, of the time VIII en-
a well-aimed rifie-shot would end his
long career. But Big Ben was as cum
ming as a serpent, and whenever any
one, afoot or aflOat, came unpleasantly
near he would slide off into the water
which meant goodbye" for the rest Of
the day.
One fine morning one of these sports
mon padding up the lake, luckily wi h
his rifle in his canoe, came upon + 2
Ben so sound asleep that he stole rp
within range and put a bullet
through the alligator's brain. What
to do next was a problem. lie
could not tow the monster all the way
to Enterprise with his small cance
A bright idea struck him. He put his
visiting card in the beasts mouth and
padded swiftly back. A number of
hunters were at the wharf, and the
slayer of Big Ben fastened to inform
them, with apparent sincerity, that
while out padding he had come within
easy range of the "'gator," who was, no
doubt still lying mottonless on tho
point. A flotilla of boats and canoes,
manned by an army with rifles, instantly
started for the point. To avoid confu-
sion, it was unanimously agreed that
all should go down together, and that
the entire party, if they were lucky
enough to find Big Ben still there,
should fire volley at the word of COM
mand.
As they approached the point, tho
hearts of all beat quickly; and when,
with straining eyes, they saw Big Ben
apparently asleep and motionless upon
the bank, even the coolest could scarcely
control his feelings. The boats were
silently drawn up within easy shot, and
the word was given. Bang! bang! went
a score of rifles, and Big Ben, riddled
with bullets, lay motionless upon tho
point! With cheer of triumph the ox-
cited sportsmen leaped ashore, and ia It.
ening rope around the dead alligator
speedily towed him to Enterprise.
There the original slayer awaited them
upon the wharf. When Big Ben was
laid upon the shore, opening the ami
mails mighty jaws he disclosed his visit
ing card, and thanked them most 20
litely for their kindness in bringing his
gator home for him. B.

them, and a terrific struggle begal.
Bayonet crashed through shaggy breas,,
cleaning brute teeth tore at huma I
threats, snarls and bowls, yelps ard
cries, groans and moans-who can de-
scribe the horrors of that awful struggle!
The snow was soaked with the mingled
blood of man and beast. Back to back
men fought as never men fought be-
fore-hurling the savage, leaping
beasts down to the ground with deadly
thrust of stell. Numbers fell, but num-
bers stiel pressed on in overwhelming
force.
The little troop of soldiers fought on
till but score remained to defy those
cruel teeth-fought on till but ten still
faced the foe-fought on as long as five
could raise a hand-fought on till the
last man sank beneath those tearing
fangs-conquered but not subdued.
But the wolves did not profit by their
victory.
The fleeing Cossack band met regi-
ment of Russian lancers and told their
tail, and the whole force went to the
rescue. Too late to save man, they
reached the scene of the struggle in time
to drive the victorious brutes from their
prey. Three hundred wolves lay deld
in and around the encampment, show
ing how fierce had been the defense,
and with military honors the Russians
buried the bodies oftheir brave enemies

Habits OF the Alligator.

The alligator builds nest of mud and
grass, and lays large number of oblo1g
white eggs, but the little ones when
Matched often serve as lunch for their
unnatural papa, and this cannibalism,
more than the rifle, prevents their num-
beers from increasing. The alligator is
not particular as to diet. l once found
the stomach of a ten-footer to be liter
ally filled with pine chips from some
tree which had been felled near the
rivers bank. They are fond of wallo W.
ing in marshes, and many man out
snipe-shooting has taken an involuntary
bath by stumbling into their wallows.
In dry seasons alligators will traverse
long distances overland to reach water,
and travellers have come suddenly upon
alligators crawling amid prairies or
woods, in the most unexpected manner.
The alligator, as rule, is very wary,
but at times sleeps quite soundly l
