The Alligator Played ,Possum

An alligator that played 'possum came
near doing damage to some young men
near Millen Monday. Van Tyler, of
this place, together with Messrs. Apple
white and DeLoach, of Millen, had been
out to the river hunting. They had killed
gator about seven feet long, and
putting him in the wagon were bringing
him to the town. Van, who was sitting
near the middle of the wagon, began to
triumph over his fallen enemy by con-
temptuously kicking him in the side.
Then thing happened that was done so
quick the boys can't explain it. There
was rush, a snap, yell, and Van went
out the wagon head foremost, and leav-
ing as souvenir a part of his pants
hanging ON the gators teeth.
The other boys woke up to the i'm
portance of hasty action, but DeLoach
took little too much time in getting
ready for an old fashioned head fore
most dive into sand bed, hence he
struck the ground minus shoe heel,
which his 'gatorship gratefully swal-
lowed and slyly 'wunk' his eye as if he
enjoyed lively time himself. The
boys rallied from their stampede, and
advancing with guns put an end to
their foe.-Waynesboro (Ga.) True Citi-

Bound to BE Caught.

What is to be done when fish which
ought not to be caught, and which one
does not wish to catch, perversely insists
upon being captured whether or no, and
actually forces itself into ones possess
sion? That was the question that stared
Mr.. j. U. Gregory, of Quebec, full in the
face when he was fishing for trout at
Tadousac one fine day of the past season.
The trout were lawful game, but salmon,
in the same waters, forbidden fruit. 1t
was then with sigh of sincere and I'M
feigned relief that the angler saw a
hooked salmon after bit of magnificent
play break away with the hook and
parted leader.
But satisfaction was changed to dis
may when the leaping fish came with
one grand vault after another directly
for the boat, and at last lay stunned and
helpless in the canoe. Mr.. Gregory
promptly solved the problem by regain
ing his fly and assisting the fish back
into its element, there, like the patriotic
orator, to sink or swim, live or die, sur
vive or perish. and Stream.

The MAN and the Brute.

Before Judge Utley William Crowley,

his wife, Johanna Crowley. He knocked
her down, she says, and kicked her. She
freed herself from him and ran into the
street. He followed. She managed to
break away for the third time and tried
to make her escape. Crowley started in
the chase, but was held back by the firm
grip of dogs teeth upon his trousers.

River Baptism in November.

An attempt is being made to establish
at Fort Plain Baptist church society.
Meetings have been held regularly for
two or three months in the village, and
for some time revival has been in prog
ress. 1t was announced that seven con-
verts would be baptized in the Mohawk
river on Sunday afternoon at $50
o'clock. When that hour arrived the
bridge spanning the Mohawk was crowd
ed with people, and it is estimated that
a thousand witnessed the baptismal serv-
ices. The day was fortunately mild, un-
usually so for November.-TroyT Times.

A Pelican Story.

A California paper relates the follow
ing fish story: Sunday there was great
crowd of fishermen on the wharf haul
ing in yellowtails and mackerel. During
the height of the sport an immense peli-
can, measuring fully six feet from tip to
to tip of wings, few down so low over
the wharf that one of the boys seized
him by the wing. In the other hand the
boy held string of eight mackerel, and
it was the work of but a moment for the
pelican to grab the fish and gobble up
the lot at one gulp. Others then seized
the bird, but the fish were safe SO far as
the pelican was concerned, and he was
finally allowed to depart. This is not a
fish story, but pelican story, and en-
tirely truthful"

wild Run of an Empty cask.

There was a lively commotion at the
Telegraph Hill end of Kearny street, and
that no one was injured was almost a
miracle. Near Vallejo street, ON Kearny,
is wine saloon. The proprietor left a
huge empty wine cask on the outer edge
of the sidewalk. That part of Kearny
street is on Telegraph Hill, the steepest
block in the city.
A man fell against the cask and
making great bounds through the air
and covering twenty feet of street at
single flight. People seeing the danger
shouted to those down the street to get
out of the way. Broadway was cleared
at single bound, and the cask narrowly
missed crushing laundry wagon into
splinters. On it went at Palo Alto
speed, scattering people right and left.
A Union street cable car was stopped in
time to prevent collision. The running
cask evidently meant mischief, and, APP
parently to prove the superiority of wine
over water, it headed for DR.. CogswelI's
fountain on Keafny street and Mont
gOmery avenue.
A bundle that frightened pedestrian
dropped turned the cask aside so that it
barely missed the cold water resort.
However, it took its revenge by smash
ing small fruit stand all to pieces, scat
tering the fruit in every direction. The
lower deck of bootblack's stand was
carried away, and cigar stand got a
blow that ratified down the boxes ON the
shelves.
At last the cask was stopped near
jackson street by colliding with a hitch
ing post. The bootblack Immediately
claimed the cask for the damage to his
stand. The owner of the cask stood at
the top of the hill and wisely decided
that it was better to stay where he was
than to venture among those whose
places had been wrecked.-San Francis

A crioket,s Substitute for the Hearth

One of the curiosities of the Anderson
hotel is the cricket that chirps in the
elevator. During the flood last winter
the little fellow was washed out of his
home, but he turned up after several
days in another part of the house. Then
he slowly moved his house from point to
point until he reached his old home in
the elevator. He has been there now
for several months, and evidently was
glad to get back, as his song has been
sharper and merrier ever since. The
little fellow is well fed, but nobody in
the house has seen him. His music is
the only thing that reveals his presence.

Bread for the Russians.

Mr.. Squills Cooking over the paper
The Russian army is almost in state of
mutiny because the soldiers have to eat
wheat bread.
Mrs. Squills IA famous housekeeper)-
That's too bad. I suppose it's because
they don't know how to fix it. You
must write to the czar this very day and
tell him.
Mr.. Squills (starting)-Eh?
Mrs. Squills-Yes, tell him that he
must be sure to furnish the army with
good butter; get print butter if possible;
it's often as low as fifty cents and never
over dollar pound. Then, on baking
days, when the bread is fresh, tell the
soldiers to spread the butter on thick
and it will be delicious. The following
day, when it is little dry, give each
soldier bowl of rich cream and tell
him to crumb it in. I'm sure they'll like
it.-New York Weekly.
