IAN alligator is hard animal to

gators own weight in lead before he is
killed. A man fires at him and he
plunges off in the mud and then the
hunter imagines that he is dead. But
II he would wait little while he would
see him rise again and look about as
good as to say: 4 haven't gone any

rascals rattcr like to be fred at. They
are used to it, and being one of Flori-

duty by affording amursment to the
traveller, while it doesn't hurt them.

Early Rising.

A person should never be walked except
n cases of urgent necessity. When man
talls asleep, he is in shape for repairs.
All the intricate machinery of his body is
being overhauled and put in order for
next days work. Nature knows what the
tired body needs. She lays it on the bed,
surrounds it with the refreshing air of
night, covers it with darkness and lets the
man rest. "Tired natures sweet restorer,
balmy sleep" visits him, and as the hours
pass by his energies are renewed, his
strength comes back, and when the day
light steals through the window, he opens
his eyes and feels like new man.
If he is early to bed, he wakes ccrre-
spondingly carly. Now, who will GO to
that mans side an hour before he opens
his eyes and say to nature; "Stand aside
and let him get up. He has had enough
rest" Nature will say: "Yoa can take
him IL you will, but will charge him
with an hours loss OF sleep, and Ill col
loct it out of his bonos and nerves and
hair and cyesight. You can't cheat me-
I'll find property to levy on." Nature is
tho best bookkeeper in the world. You
may overdraw, but you must pay back.

Phillips. .Andover Academy VIII Not
Meet Exeter In the Field.

ANDovER, Mass, Nov. 2S.-In the light
OF the present widespread discussion OF the
purity Of colleges and amateur athletics,
Phillips-Andover academy took very in
teresting step at n mass meeting held this
morning Immediately after chapel.
AT that meeting the students decided not
to meet in Exeter In any contest Of sports
again, for they believed ''she has con-
stantly for the last three years dabbled In
professionalism and misused the standing
agreement between the two schools"
Many speeches were made by prominent
members of the school, and after consider
able discussion the following resolutions
were adopted:
Whereas for the past three years the Exeter
school has presented on her teams men who
were not in any fair sense amateurs; and
Whereas, This evil has increased each year;
and
Whereas The makeup OF their football team
this year was an insult 10 lovers of pure sports
and some of their rlayers disgrace TO the
name Of amateur.
Resolved, That we, the students OF Philips
Academy, Andoycr, indefinitely postpone all
further contests with the Exeter school.
