AS seen IN faris Recently by a woman
Whom He Befriended as Girl.
From the Indianapolis Sentinel:
Many years ago | was a frightened,
bitter, angry little rebel, one of the
only two southern girls in a large
school far up the Hudson river. 1t
was not very long after the close OF
our terrible civil war, and the two an
cry but helpless little creatures were
the victims of the bitter spirit which
at that time was still so strong. Sud-
denly the crowd of tormentors was
dispersed by a tall, beautiful girl, the
acknowledged queen of the school. She
gathered us both into her tender clasp
and her voice sang like a clarion as
she said towards, Don't you see
their black dresses" 1t was enough.
and in moment the tide turned and
our prosecutors became our CONSIDERS.
Our rescuer, our guardian angel, as she
became henceforth, was a sister of
Theodore Tilton. and was about to
graduate, while we had just entered
school. The day of her graduation
came, and among the judges was Mr..
Tilton. then in the zenith of his fame.

A Girl and An Alligator.

Near Lakeland, Fla, where United
States troops were encamped in the
summer of 1898, there is a fine lake
called Lake Gibson. The soldiers often
bathed in it, regardless of the fact that
it contains alligators; and the sauri-
ans, being towards, afraid to attack
man, let the soldiers alone. But it was
different with the case of a young girl
who recently went bathing in Lake
Gibson. This girl, who is fourteen
years old and whose mother, Mrs.
Fields, lives near the lake, could not
resist the temptation to jump off the
wharf one summer day in 1899, to take
a swim. She had scarcely touched the
water when her leg was seized by an
alligator. The creature, which the girl
could clearly see in the water, seized
her between the knee and the ankle
and instantly pulled her under the sur
face. The girl thought herself gone,
but she did not give up. On the con-
trary, she struggled with such activity
that the alligator was unable to hold
her. She broke away from it, rose to
the surface and struck out for the
shore, only a few yards distant The
alligator returned to the charge, this
time Selling the girl by the fleshy part
of the side, between the ribs and the
hip. But she struggled again, and
once more managed to free herself. at
the same time springing toward the
shore. This time the alligator did not
get its jaws upon her, although 1t fol-
lowed her until she was safe on dry
land. Although the girl had two very
ugly wounds to show for her en-
counter, her hurts are not of mortal
character. She describes the alligator
as not being of the largest size, but
only about five feet in length.

Some time ago an effort to do away

magistrate, who was informed that the

Reelfoot lake is the largest body Of

All women love flowers, and every woman

the period when the average woman looks

No Off Grade Wheat.
Tacoma Ledger.)


Is unable to secure enough off grade
wheat to make up samples for dis
tributlon among the growers and
buyers. These samples are sent
out annually after the standards
are made by the grain commission
and are expected to illustrate the
different grades. 1t is usual to Sc
cure samples which will represent
the entire crop.
1t is not difficult this year to Sc
cure first grade wheat. Very little
second grade has been secured and
the grain inspector has been unable
to secure any third grade or rejected
wheat samples. Some musty or
grown wheat weighing less than "a
pounds to the bushel is needed, and
from the character of the wheat al
ready received it is possible the
grain inspector may not be able for
several weeks to secure off grade
samples. The early wheat has been
grading uniformly high.
The receipts of wheat to date,
when compared with the receipts
for previous years at this time, beat
all records. The season, though is
from two to three weeks earlier than
usual and comparisons of receipts
should be made with the middle Of
September. The daily receipts at
present are double the total for the
latter part of September, 1899, and
about eight times as large as those
in the early part Of the month,
For six days in this month the
total wheat receipts have been 445
cars. During the entire month of
September, 1899, there were only
554 cars offered for inspection. No
wheat was received at Tacoma yes
terday, as there was no room in the
yards to store the cars. Several
trains are understood to be at Puv
allup and other way stations await
ing an opportunity to reach Tacoma,
At the rate wheat is now pouring
in it is estimated the total receipts
for this month will exceed LOO
cars.
The blockade in the Northern Pa
cifc yards AZ Tacoma is not caused
by the unusually large wheat re
ceipts. The receipts are extraor-
dinarily heavy for this part Of the
season, but receipts of 125 cars a
day are regarded as light during
the rushes in late October and in
Novemb Der and December. This is
forty cars more than are now ar
irving daily.
The local freight yards are
blocked with government and Ori-
entail freight more than by wheat.
This will he moved within a short
time, but in the meantime it is I'M
possible to get any more wheat into
the city until some Of the cars arc
unloaded. Trains are being held
farther up the line The opening
of the new warehouses will also
have a tendency to lift the block
AIDE. In this connection a story is
told among grain buyers to the eff
feet that one exporting firm has
been storing wheat in Northern Pa
cifc cars since July. They will be
unloaded within a few days
