not mention it.
On Sunday, July 5th, some young men
who were camping east OF the Valley
dressed one of their members up in
feminine apparel and marched down
Main street. 1t caused considerable
guessing to know who the lady was.
Some thought she was Queen Lii Of

ALLIGATORs AS BOATMATEs
Experience With One That Had Been
Apparently Killed.


Alligators move rapidly under water,
are hard to see, harder to hit, and the
harpoon VIII penetrate only the least
accessible portions of the body. Nor
does the title to the hide necessarily
pass with making fast the weapon.
One afternoon III the Cheesehowitz-
kee river harpooned large alligator
which towed me up and down the
stream for an hour or two and then
sulked in its deepest part. pulled on
the line until the boat was directly
over him and stirred him up with the
harpoon pole. He rolled himself up on
the line in the manner peculiar to
sharks and alligators and banged the
boat sugg"stively We rowed to the
bank and, making fast to some bushes,
hauled on the line until we succeeded
in worrying him neatly to the boat,
when he rose to the surface and at
tackled us with open mouth. We re-
PEELED the attack with harpoon pole
and rifle. The former was promptly
bitten in three pieces, but the latter APP
parently finished him. 1t was so nearly
dark that we decided to carry him in
the skiff mile down the river to where
our sloop was anchored. We broke the
seats out of the boat and together man.
aged to lift the head of the alligator
aboard and tie 1t. We then tied the
other end, when the reptile came to
life and landed blow with his tail
which lifted me out of the skiff into
the saw grass, with the breath knocked
out of my body and my hand and face
badly cut by the grass.
Boat and boatmen were capsized. AS
my rifle had fortunately been left upon
the bank, was able to kill the alliga-
tor again. We secured him by floating
the boat under him and then bailing it
out. The alligator completely filled the
boat, SO that my companion and l sat
upon his back as we padded down the
river with gunwales unpleasantly near
the water.
1t was growing dark, and the water
around us was becoming alive with
alligators. While we were rejecting
upon our overloaded condition our alli-
gator came to life again and shifted
ballast until water poured over the
gunwale. We quickly balanced the
boat, only to see it again disturbed and
to ship more water. A scramble for the
shore followed, which we reached with
out capSizing and where we left our
victim for the night after again killing
him. In the morning our buzzard
friend from the Romosassa river, sur
rounded by his family, was sitting
above him in the tree waiting for us to
attend to our carving duties.-Country

BIRMINGHAM PICTURES.

They Were Mere Paper, but They
Subdued she Artist Turner.
Turner, the great landscape painter.
was a curious mixture of parsimony
and generosity. determined money
grubbing and unreckoning devotion t.
his art. He would drive a hard bar
gain one day and the next refuse to
sell at any price. Intending purchas-
ers were sometimes excluded from his
gallery, and the refusal of admission
was communicated in anything but a
polite manner.
Mr.. elliott, the wealthy pen manu-
facturer of Birmingham, once proved
himself equal to the task Of storming
the castle i'll the teeth of the gruff art
list and his doorkeeper and achieving a
bargain. A book on Turner gives the
story.
MIR. elliott was met at the door of
Turner's house by an old woman, who
opened the door and asked the gentle
mans business.
Cant let e inw she snapped out,
when he told her, and tried to slam the
door.
But Mr.. elliott had put his foot in
side the door and without waiting for
permission pushed past the enraged
janitress and hurried upstairs to the
gallery. Turner met him like spider
whose web has been invaded. The in
truder introduced himself and said
that. he had come to buy.
Don't want to sellv' was the an
swer.
Have you seen our Birmingham pic
lures, Mr.. TurnerT inquired the visit
or, as calmly as if he had been received
as a gentleman should be.
"Never heard of 'em," said Turner.
Mr.. elliott took from his pocket some
Birmingham bank notes.
Mere paper" remarked Turner, who
evidently enjoyed the joke.
ITO be bartered for mere canvas"
said the visitor, waving his hand to in
dictate the paintings on the wall. His
tone-perhaps also the sight Of the
mere paper" Turner, and
when the visitor departed he had bar
gained for several valuable pictures.

IMPLANTED CORN.
1t Has a Habit of Getting Uneasy In
the Spring.

1t Has a Habit of Getting Uneasy In
the Spring.
1T beats ALL" said q Bergen county
farmer, what curious things we find in
nature that we can't explain. You kin
go over a lot of 'em, and there's vet
one that you can't tell me why it is.
That's corn heatin' up in the spring.
You take a lot of corn 1 don't care
II it's whole corn or cracked corn or
cornmeal. You keep it i'll any kind of
StorehouSe-the common granary, like
we have on the farms, or the stone or
brick buildin', like many of the gro
GERS and feed dealers have it in. When
it comes corn plautin' time, that corn
of yourn ii git Uneasy. Soon's the
blades start out of the ground, then
you'll have to hustle to save your grain.
Seems as when the time comes along
fur corn to be planted the corn in the
bags, no matter what shape it's in, be.
gins to heat up, and when the planted
corn begins to grow what you've got
stored will git so hot it'll fairly smoke.
You've got to take it out of the bags
and spread it out so it'll cool off or
you'll lose it ALL In few days it'll
cool down again, and you won't have
no more trouble with it durin' the sum-
mer, no matter how hot the weather
gifts. It's jest when the planted corn
starts; that's all.
Curious? OF course it's curious or
l wouldn't speak Of it. l might under
stand how whole corn would act that
way, but when it comes to cracked corn
and cornmeal, then it's too much fur
me. And I'll bet you can't tell why it
is, 'cept it's jest nature tryin' to assert
herself."-New York Mail and Express.

Weak


Are due TO indigestion. Ninety-nine Of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple indises-
ton. II is scientific fact that all cases Of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of indi-
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, putting it up against the
heart. This interferes with the action Of
the heart, and in the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.

good paint and do good work. We've
got big business too-been at it 149
years-making good paint, best paint
in the world, Devoe Lead and Zinc.
Fewer gallons and wears longer
that's the reason in short. 1t takes
fewer gallons of Devoe Lead and Zinc
than of mixed paints to cover a house,
and it wears longer than lead and oil
or any mixed paint.
Smith & WILDER, Cambridge Springs,
Pa, write:
One of ourpainters says Devoe is the
best for a painter to use when taking
work by the job, as it goes farther and
covers better than any paint he eyer
used.
Here's the experience everybody has
with it. The dealer who sells Devoe
gets the bulk of the paint business of
his town. The painter who paints
Devoe gets the painting of his town.

MARYLAND DAY.

Acting upon resolution passed by
the State Board of Education, We'd
nesday, March 25th, the day the set
tiers of Maryland landed on St. Glenn
ent's Island, was generally observed
in the public schools of the State.
1t is purposed to ask the next legisla-
ture to appoint the day as Maryland
Day. and to provide for its annual
celebration, the day to be DEVOTED in
all the public schools of the State to
the effective presentation of some par
ticular event in the history of the state.
We quote the following from paper
prepared by Mr.. Allen S. Will COM
memorative of the day.
mot only all Marylanders, but all
Americans, should feela thrill of patri-
otto pride when they recall the landing
of the Maryland pilgrims at st. Glenn
ent's Island on March 25th, 1884, for
we should never forget that it stands
for some of the grandest ideas in our
American history. Among these were:
The principle of religious liberty
and the practical separation of church
and state, with the complete FREEDOM
nance of the civil power.
The express exemption by charter
guarantee of the lands and good of the
people from taxation by the Crown of
England, thus settling more than 1O4
years in advance of the great right for
which Americans commended in the
Revolution. Maryland was not a col
ony, like the other English settle
ments then existing on the continent,
bat was the first province of the Brit
ish Empire, an almost independent
Commonwealth.
The establishment first of all the
Governments in the New World of the
policy of justice toward the Indians
and peaceful relations with them.
The people of the province also estab-
lished free representative government
from the start, though they were not
pioneers in this, the earlier settlement
of Virginia having given her the
glorious opportunity, which she glor-
iously took, of planting this seed first
on American soil. But in no other of
the original sisterhood of 10 was there
sturdier or prompter assertion of
government "of the people, for the
people, by the people"
