Most OF the alligator stories we get
from Florida are frauds, but here is true
one, fresh from Sanford and not far from
Auburndale, where Judge Teal had his

gator made for him. The child started to
run, but, stumbling, fell head first imme-
diateiy in front of the reptile, which swaI-
lowed him at once.
Young ROland's screams were heard,
and the parents reached the scene just in
time to see the disappearance of their son
down the huge throat of the saurian. The
father. never dreaming that the boy was
not killed, shot the alligator, the ball, for
tunately, striking him in the eye and pene-
tratlng the brain.
The feet Of the boy were protruding
from the mouth of the dead alligator. and
with the thought of only obtaining his re-
mains for burial. the reptile was cut open
lhere were signs of life. and after several
hours of hard work the father succeeded
IN resuscitating the boy. the only serious
injury being to his ankles. which had been
crushed by the reptiles teeth when he was
in the thrOes of death.
Since that time Roland has been Grip

Do Not Sleep on the Left Side.

There - little doubt that an Immense
number of persons habitualIy sleep On the
left side. and those who do so can never.
it is said. be strictly healthy. 1t is the
most prolific cause of nightmare and also
of the unpleasant taste in the mouth on
arising in the morning. All food enters
and leaves the stomach on the right side.
and hence sleeping on the left side soon
after eating involves sort Of pumping
operation, which is anything but con
ducive to sound repose. The action of the
heart is also seriously interfered with and
the lungs unduly compressed. Hence it
is best to cultivate the habit of always
sleeping on the right side, although San
dow and other strong men are said to in
variably sleep on their backs.

A Big Bear.

The largest bear killed in Cambria coun-
ty for many years was taken to Altoona
by James Campbell of Dean township. this
county. 1t is of the genuine black mount
ain variety and tipped the scales at $40
pounds. Campbell took it to the Farmers
hotel. where it is on exhibition. II is a
magnifcent specimen and attracted a great
deal of attention. Old bear hunters say
they have seldom seen such an animal.
The most remarkable features in connec.
ton with it is that it met its death at the
hands of Mr.. Campbel's SON. a lad only
II years of age. Bear is reported to be
plentiful in that section.-Patton Pa

caused by slight crack or crevice in the

necessary for the fowls to- become wet and

floor or wall causes the air in the house to

On IN acre Of rich, well-cultivated land,
there may be grown $500 worth of bcr-
ries. - p!
Every enterprising farmer, with little
effort, has within his reach u continuous
supply of healthful fruits.
TN every farm large, luscious berries
may be grown ut the rate of 200 bushels
| per acre. = -
If less is produced, we may look for tn,
reason from one or more of the following
causes and briefly suggest Il remedy:
First, land deficient iii fertilizer, or
plant food. Apply fine composted ma
nure, plow under and top dress. Also
ashes broadcast.
Second, improper preparation of soil.
Plow deeply and harrow until tine light
and mellow. Extra preparation makes
plant food more, available.
Third, varieties not adapted to your soil
| and climate. Use only such as have been
we'll tested in your locality, or recon-
mended by responsible parties.
Fourth, poor plants. Buy only best
hardy, vigorous plants from responsible
growers. Never set poor plants.
| Fifth, careless setting of plants. Never
expose plants to sun and wind before set
ting. Have roots well spread, and fine
| dirt firm about them.
Sixth, too many plants, i'll hill or row.
Preserve only strong, vigorous plants,
| give each room to develop and perfect it's
fruit. Prune severely.
| Seventh. imperfect fertilization. There
is sex in plants. Pistilates (female) must
have staminates set with them to insure
good crops.
Eighth, neglect in cultivation. The
ground at all times should be fine, mellow
and free from weeds.
Ninth, no protection. Mulch in summer
with coarse manure, grass or green clo-

accustomed to think of metals as being
stranger than wood. and so they are, gen.
orally speaking, if only pieces of the same
size be tested. When equal weights of
these two materials are compared, it is
then found that several varieties of wood

pine just as heavy as bar of steel an
inch square will hold up 123,OOO pounds,
the best ash $4,000 pounds, and some

1t occupies ten or twelve times the space
of steel. The best castings made for the
United States navy have a tenacity of
