1.-THE cowardice of. allfgators is well
known by the people who reside along the
bayous which were at one time frequented
by the saurians." said a gentleman from
southwestern Louisiana "a great many
persons who only know CT the alligator by
reputation swallow without a qualm the
stories which are so often told about the
hairbreadth escapes and remarkable adven-
lures with these reptiles. The truth Is
that they do not possess sufficient courage
the alligators, / mean-to attack mouse,
unless 1T was chained to the bank and
couldn't show fight. 1 remember crossing a
stream in the Vermillion country a number
of years before the craze for alligator
hides had struck the country. 1 entered
skiff and when about half way over my
dog. which l had forgotten, came bounding
after me, and. leaping into the water, be-
gan to swim across after the boat
Almost Immediately several alligators
lying with the tips of their noses above the
surface, began to move after the dog and
soon came within a few feet Of the animal.
He realized that he was being chased, and
proceeded to turn the tables by chasing
them He barked and turned to make for
the gators, but they got out Of his way.
Well, the dog and the saurians kept up
this performance until the former had
crossed the stream. The alligatorS seemed
to be afraid to come within biting distance
although it would have been impossible
for the dog to have injured them They
were simply afraid, that's ALL and it Is al
ly swan after an alligator myself and he
would invariably turn tail and get out Of
sight in hurry. Courage! They have no
more than goat"

The dual field and track meeting between

Interesting.
The contests will he fifteen events, the
same those which will come off at the

which fifteen events will be on the pro-
gram, the change being made at the last
meeting of the intercollegiate officials, held
at New York City, whereby the two-m.le
bicycle race was stricken off the old pro-
gram, and two events substituted, one
mile and three-mile bicycle race. Accord
Ing to the rules each college is required to
enter at least ore man in each, and keeping
in touch with these Columbian has entered
one man only in several contests.

" III anu n
In reply to a query from a corr respondent
Of Cassells Saturday Journal, a London
secondhand bookseller said: Il frequently

binary the number of things that are slip

ment and afterward entirely forgotten
Letters without number l have found, and

from lady some years ago. and after she
had gone, while turning over the leaves
came across will which disposed of some
thousands Of pounds worth of property.
put the will carefully away, and the follow
ing day the lady returned in frightful
state of excitement, and wanted to buy The
book back at my own price. l guessed what
she really wanted, but thought it rather
strange that she should ask TO buy the book
instead of merely asking to be allowed 10
examine it. which would have been just as
effective. However, / told her / had found
the will, and supposed that that was what
she wanted. She looked confused, but con-
fessed 1t was, so l handed ii 10 her and she
went away. Up to this time that will has
not been filed. so l have learned, and l have
not the slightest doubt that it has been
suppressed for the purpose of depriving
some one of the property which it disposed
o. but the most interesting case IN which
l have been concerned in this way hap
pened not long ago.
"A well-dressed, gentlemanly man brought
me three bulky volumes, and wanted me to
purchase them. AS they were of a class Of
books the value of which varies consider
ably, according to the condition and edi-
ton. and l vas very busy at the time,
asked him to leave Their, that l might ex-
anime them, and call next day. This he
consented to do, and went away. When
looked at them l came across 4 large num-
Der of bank notes. They were evidently
quite new, and there was something about
them which made me doubt their authentic
ity. / compared them with notes of my
own, but could not discover the faintest
dissimilarity. However, to make sure Of the
matter, [ sent them to be paid into my
bank. Naturally, when my messenger
came back. having passed the notes with
out the slightest difficulty, l concluded they
were all right.
The next morning I received message
from the manager ,of my bank saying he
would like me to call upon him. l went
round, and was not very much surprised
when he said that every one of the noIes

Bicycle Etiquette.


While there are no set rules laid down
for the road, yet there are many points of
etiquette to be observed. If a lady is riding
with a 'rtleman, or when party is rid
ing together, the lady or ladies should al
ways be allowed to ride in front. the posi-
ton of honor. If number are riding,
there may be one among them who is not
physically able to keep up with the rest
In that case she should be allowed to ride
in front and set the pace for the Others as
a matter of courtesy. In case Of only two
riding, a lady and gentleman, she should
be in front all the way.
If they are to ride side by side, the con-
dition of the road would naturally deter
mine to which side the entleman will ride
If all other conditions are equal, then he
should be at her left and not upon the
right. as in walking. And in case team
or pedestrian is met, the lady will tide on
In front, while the gentleman follows not
too closely.

One Original Remark.

From the Boston Transcript.
The recent incident in New York recalls
a story of clergyman who was in the
habit of quoting from various sermons
without giving due credit to the authors
and to such an extent as to provoke the
ire of one Of his parishioners. On a GER
tain Sunday a quotation was made by the
pastor. The parishioner rose from his seat
and said, That's Blair" another quota
ton soon followed. That's Fuller" Still
another theft. That's Charming" said the
accuser as he arose from his pew cushion
for the third time. Put that man out, ;"
beloved the reverend plagtarist. '"That's
original" said the critic-"that's his own"

Inside.
From tho New York World
A clever device for identifying an over
coat consists of a monogram of the in
itials of the owner, sewed on the inside
partly on the facing and partly on the lin
ing. The object of the arrangement is to
prevent honest men from taking coats that
do not belong to them. The scheme, Of
course, would be of no avail in the case of
any other kind Of men.
Probably you will say that the small
label in the neck of the coat would answer
the purpose, but this is not so, because
men do not invariably examine these
labels before putting their coats on. And
mems coats are made so much alike now
adays that it requires more than an orGi-
nary label to distinguish them. 1t is for
the same reason that initials are LASTED

The Coal Man.

"The train was late," the traveller
said, land when it got to the place
where we were to get supper everybody
was tremendously hungry, and every
body. or almost everybody, made q wild
rush for the restaurant. A cool man was
one of few who did not hurry, and
who, when they got into the restaurant,
found that every seat was taken. Here
was q situation to test mans nerve.
Only 90 minutes for the meal, and with
the train late, that time sure not to be
prolonged, and it was the last meal of
the day. There would be no more eating
stops until morning. Some men would
have fretted and fumed and made them
selves unhappy over this, and that is
Just what one or two of the others with
out seats did, but the cool man remain
ed perfectly calm and undisturbed. In
fact, he seemed rather to enjoy looking
on at the scene of activity. But calm as
he was, he was none the less alert. With
unerring acuteness, though in casual
sort of manner, he stationed himself
near the quickest eater, and when that
gentleman had pitchforked himself full,
which he did in about ten minutes, the
cool man took his seat, the first one va
Gated. There was still ten minutes, and
how he profited by it could be told by
the added touch of serenity observable
upon his countenance when he lighted
his cigar in the smoking room of the
sleeper. New York Sun.
