OFFICER TALBOT.

lie Explains How It Was He Told a
Citizen TO - Move On.''
The published statement to the effect
that Officer Talbot the other evening or
dered well-known citizen to move
on" without any apparent cause. evil
IDENTIFY did the officer an injustice.
Inquiry into the matter reveals the
fact that there had been fight on the
street, and quite crowd gathered, caus-
ing excitement and confusion. officer
Talbot tried to dispense the crowd, and
III 50 doing encountered Frank Bailey,
whom he told to move on. The latter be-
came indignant, ana some words tol-
lowed between him and the officer.
As matter OF tact, it appears that the
officer was simply discharging his duty,
and polceman's duty Is not always
pleasant. While Mr.. Bailey was doubt
less unconscious OF any wrong-doing in
the matter, still it was the o1ncer's pro-
vince to disperSe the crowd.
officer Talbot has been somewhat criti-
cised Tor his action iii one or two cases
where it was said his ver-zealousness
had led him into mistakes. An eXplana-
ton OF the circumstances shows that the
officer simply did his duty. The trouble
with most OF our officers in the past has
been their lack OF zeal in the right direo-
ton. The young officer is on the right
track

A Grateful Alligator.

There is an old man who lives not
a dozen miles from Jacksonville, Oh
the st. John river, who has what
might be called an alligator farm.
He owns tract of about twelve or
thirteen acres, and in one part is q
low, marshy place, which in wet
weather is filled with water. A
ditch connects this with the river.
One spring day the owner of the
farm, while walking near the swamp,
heard crashing sound in the marsh
grass, and looking over to the center,
saw large alligator moving around.
He stood still and watched the saur-
ian, and discovered that it was throw
ing up mound of mud and grass.
After time, when the heap had
assumed a shape not unlike that
of a hut such as the Esquimaux are
pictured as living in, the alligator
lay on top. The farmer came to
the conclusion that she was laying
OH her eggs, and not wishing to dis
turd her, left.
The next day he visited the place
again and saw that the mound had
been firmly bedded all around, while
the old gator lay summing herself on
a log. Each day he visited the place
and carried food to the old one in the
shape of fish and meat, and as the
time went OH she got so tame that
on a certain hour she was OH the
lookout and came crawling up to be
fed.
One morning he was startled by
a loud believing in the direction of
the swamp, and hasting over found
things in a high state of excitement.
There, lying in pool Of water, was
the mother, surrounded by numer-
Gus little alligators, some of which
climbed upon her back and then slid
of, seeming to enjoy the fun inn
menscly. At the sight of her friend,
Il bright light beamed in her eyes,
and, after reccivingafcw caresses, she
started off toward the river, followed
by her young.
Every spring after that the owner
of the place has watched for the old
gator which has never failed to
show up, and each year build new
mound and raise her young.
