A PET FOR A CENTURY,
A Louisiana Alligator Which Had Bee
Known to One Family Since I1ZS.

A Louisiana Alligator Which Had Been
Known to Ose Family Since 177s.
In the bayou flowing through the
large sugar plantation of Gabriel Mon
taigne, lying seven or eight miles south
of Jhibodeau, La, there was recently
killed, according to the Philadelphia
Times, an alligator known to be some
thing over one hundred and twenty
years old. In 1878 Mr.. Montairne's
fathers grandfather. imnligrating TO
this country from France, purchased
this tract Of land from its original Span
ish owner, and in an attempt to clear
the bayou OF the ferocious and aegres-
sive alligators which filed it to the
number of thousands succeeded in kill
ing many of them, and among them the
mother of several young ones, three OF
which he killed also. but the fourth got
away, leaving five or six inches of his
tail behind him, however. This one
was afterward seen from time to time
and always recognized by this missing
portion of his anatomy. He grew to be
something of a pet with succeeding
generations, who, however, thought it
safest to keep him at a distance de-
spite his friendly advances, but it has
been favorite task with the younger
Montaignes Of the family TO go out
after each meal with It'd bits for Old
Shorty, as he was called because of his
deformity. This age of one hundred
and twenty years is not unparalleled
with these animals, many being said to
attain the age Of two hundred, though
this is difficult of proving, except in
such cases where the creature is marked
in some way as Old Shorty was.

FIRST LESSON FOR DETECTIVES
Not How to Detect but How to Avoid BE.
ing Detected


ITO accomplish the ends which we
seek in the case in which you are en-
gagged, said w0rldfamed rouge catch
er, lit is very important that no one
should suspect what YOU are after. and
it is of paramount Importance that no
one shal suspect that you are in ON
munication with me. Now, let me give
you one Of the first lessons that a de-
tective learns 1t is not how to detect,
but how TO avoid being detected him
self. 1t very often happens that peo-
pie who are playing game for a big
pot Of money. and who fear the police
will spoil their game, employ detec-
tives to sha6ow every one with whom
they are dealing for fear that they
may be dealing with someone
who will expose their schemes.
The first thing detective learns to do
therefore is to find out whether he is
being Swallowed by anyone else. To
do this is simple and easy, and yet most
people not familiar with how to do it
would say: why. how can find out if
] am being watched?"
All that Is necessary is caution and
little nerve Keep your ewes open for
anyone whom You suspect OF following
you a1d never go anywhere where
your hand would be exposed unless you
are sure You are not followed. If YOU
have an idea you are followed pay no
attention to the person Won suspect of
following You Do not try to escape
him. FOR that will at once arouse his
suspicious. Let him follow Won. and
10 make sure that he IS really shadow
ing you after walking block or two
turn quickly and retrace your steps
As You pass the man You suspect look
him sQuarely in the eye. Repeat this
operation several times and YOU will be
bound TO make sure whether or not he
is really following yea.
OF course, when you know Won are
being Swallowed you viii do nothing to
reveal what you are really doing until
Your follower has abandoned the chase
