CUSTER CHRONICLE
JOSEPH KUBLER PUBLISHER

The Florida alligator has an appc-
ttte hat is hard to appease. A fisher
man, weary with i'll luck, pulled off
his boots, stretched himself on the riv-
er's green bank and went to sleep. A
saurian in search of a dinner spied the
sleeping fisherman, crawled up the
bank, swallowed him and retired in
good order. But after a time he re-
membered that the late fisherman's
boots were also reposing on the bank.
A dinner without dessert was no din
ner at all; SO he returned to taper
off on the boots. But while he was in
the act Of swallowing Thorn another
fisherman, recently arrived. shot him
dead. Probably the moral in this story
is. Some alligators never know when
they have enough.
