A Funny Combat.

once saw very funny combat be-
tween a baby alligator and tiny
snake. Quite number of both were
in a glass tank provided with a small
pond. rocks and growing plants. You
would have thought it a perfect nurs-
erv for the babies to grow and be
happy in.
But while this thought was passing
through my mind l saw an alligator
make sudden snap as little snake
was slipping over him, and in a mo-
ment the poor little thing found his
head held tight between the needle
like teeth of the alligator. Wriggle
and twist as he might, he could not
get away. In vain he tried to choke
his enemy by closely encircling his
neck; the alligator held his head per-
fectly rigid, and finally shut his eyes
with an air of self-satisfaction, as if il
were most ordinary thing for him to
have a snake tying double-knot'
around his neck.
After long time, either because h'
forgot his prize and yielded to desire
to yawn, or because he thought th'
presumption of the snake in crawling
over.him had been sufficiently pun
| ished, the baby alligator opened hi
laws. aud away went the snake, seem
inplv none the worse for his adventure

1t is surely meet that the ministers of the
Word should set an example to their parishion-
ers in obeying the precepts of their texts.
Take no thought for the morrow, what Ye
shall eat or wherewithal ye shall be clothed, y
ought to apply equally to the pulpit and the
pew. But we doubt somewhat whether such a
literal compliance with the sacred injunction
was intended by the pastor of one of our lead
ing churches. when he ascended to his pulpit on
a recent Sunday morning. and performed his
ministerial functions garbed in the folds of his
every day morning chores and barn coat. But
there can be no question of his literal obedience
for he certainly took no thought" at least not
until it was too late to make any change.

The John F. Byers Co. have booked an order
from Uncle Sam for double cylinder hosting
engine, with three friction drums, to be used in
government work. This is new and impor-
tant departure for this enterprising concern,
which. has worked its way safely and rapidly in
to large and superior trade. The successful
filling of this order will at once secure con-
tract for eight other large machines for the same
patron.
This Company is reaching to larger fields
each year. Their sales for 1892 have doubled
those of last year. They have distributed their
machines nearly everywhere in the Union.
From Beaumont, Texas. to Palmer, Mass; St.
Paul to Jacksonville, Fla, and Denver to Rich
mond, Va, the machines have been introduced,
and have proven their superiority by the highest
tests. Tomorrow large hoist will be started
| for Richmond, Va.
The capacity of the plant has been reached
and it seems one of the certaintes that the
the buildings and equipment will of necessity
be doubled, inside of year. Such will Ger
tainly be the case should their business grow OF
them as it has during the past year.

Mrs. 7. H. Evans, wife of County Treasurer
Evans had an experience last Sunday morning
at their home on Oak street. that called for rare
presence of mind and quick action. The lady
was engaged in sweeping around hard coal
base burner, which was fired up to its full ca
pacity, when she accidentally brought her broom
in contact with one of the stove legs. The blow
was a very light one, and ordinarily would have
done no harm; but the room-warmer like the
Republican Presidential candidate, stood on an
uncertain and shaky support, and in a moment
one of its essential props was pushed out of
place, letting the heavy iron heater fall over
with crash. The force of the contact liter
tents out on to the floor in glowing mass of
Goals, which instantly set the carpet blaze, and
commenced to eat their way through the floor
with great rapidity. Although intensely agita-
ted, Mrs. Evans did not lose her presence OF
mind. She Immediately started for the water
faucet, but was seized with momentary conster-
nation, on discovering that the pipes were frozen
up. Realizing, however, that every moment
was a time beat hurrying on the destruction OF
heI home. she seized teakettle that was boiling
on another stove, and poured its contents over
the burning pile quickly supplementing this
action by running out doors and giving an alarm,
at the same time hurriedly gathering up guam
tity of snow, with which she succeeded in con-
trolling the flames until assistance was rendered
by two gentlemen who happened opportunely to
be going by. With their aid the fire was extn-
guished, but not until the carpet was ruined and
portion of the floor badly charred. Mr.. Ev-
ans had left the house few minutes before, and
did not learn of the accident until it was all over
1t was fortunate ending of what promised to
be disastrous affair.
The gentlemen who lent their assistance in
averting the threatened disaster have the hearty
thanks of Mr.. and Mrs. Evans.
