How a Little Alligator SCOT Even" with
"A Little Snake.


/ once saw q very funny combat be-
tween a baby alligator and a tiny
snake. Quite a number OF both were
in a glass tank provided with p small
pond, rocks, and growing plants.
You would have thoughtful a perfect
nursery for the babies to grow and be
happy in.
But while this thought was passing
through my mind / saw an alligator
make a sudden snap as little snake
was slipping over him, and in 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 perfectly rigid,
and finally shut his eyes with an air
of dissatisfaction, as il 1t were a
most ordinary thing for him to have
snake tying double bow-knots
around his neck.
After long time, either because
he forgot his prize and yielded toa
desire to yawn, or because he thought
the presumption of the snake IN
crawling over him had been SUI
flciently punished, the baby alligator
opened his Jaws, and away went thu
snake, seemingly none the worse 10

THE FAVORED FOREIGNER,


Under the republican reciprocity hobby
the foreigner is a fortunate fellow For
example the president recently issued a
supplementary proclamation largely in
creasing the number of American pro
ducts, natural and manufactured, which
will hereafter be admitted into Cuta and
Porto Rico free, or at greatly reduced
rates
The list includes nearly all food products,
woods of all kinds, wagons and carts, coal -,
iron cast in pigs, pipes, beams, ratters-
etc, wrought IRON and STEEL implements,
tools and utensils of agriculture and the
mechanic trades, glass, stoneware, tin
plate, copper, manufactures of cotton, etc.
hundreds of articles in ALL
The favored inhabitants of Cuba and
Porto Rico are to lie permitted to buy
these articles free of taxes--th the theory
that the foreigner pays the duty" being
especially disproved when the seller hap
pens to be- an American exporter-while
the consumers of the United States must
pay upon them duty ranging from IS to
100 per cent, and even higher, no matter
from where they are imported.
This is reciprocity that reciprocates
all in favor of the foreigner. 1t is the
ready-made, hand-me-iown economics of
q remote past resurreeted at the present
time by d parry which, in its desperation,
is casting about industriously for an issue
that M " save it from defeat which its
bad record actually proyokes.

CLAIMS TO Be FLORENCE'S DAUGHTER
Why Miss Florence Hall of San Francisco
VIII Sue for Share of Actor Fioreuce's
Eafuta

Why Miss Florence Hall of San Francisco
VIII Sue for IA Share of Actor Floreuce's
Estate.
CHICAGO, Jan. 26.--A San Francisco
dispatch says: Miss Florence Hall will
soon bring suit in the supreme court OF
the city to obtain her share of an estate
left by the late w. j. Florence, who died
last November. The estate is reported
to be worth between $250,000 and
100000, all Of which he left to his wife.
The late Mrs. NJ. A. Hall reared Miss
Hall with her own three children. She
told Miss Florence several years ago
that she was not her mother, but that
her father was w. j. Florence, the
actor. Miss Hall was born in this CITY
% years ago. Mrs. Hall told her foster
child that she would not say then who
her mother was, but assured her that
Florence was her father.
Mrs. Hall, during the latter years of
her life, kept lodging house on Post
street and Miss Florence lived with her
as her daughter and left San Francisco
about three years ago and opened
lodging house in Butte, Mont. She sub
sequently went 10 Chicago, where she
has resided ever since.
There is striking facial resemblance
between Miss Florence Hall and the late
Mr.. Florence, while there is no family
resemblance between Miss Florence and
the Hall children.
