mountain and see the world. For, they reasoned, if monkeys with their tails cut off can travel all over the land, so can we, and we will not cut off our tails, either. The meeting lasted from early morning until the sun stood still in the middle of the sky, and before they parted the young crocodiles prom ised to meet at sunrise the following morning, at the same place. to start on their journey.
 Sure enough, the rising sun saw hundreds and hundreds of young croco- diles swimming in the waters of Wind- ing Snake, all bound for the spot under the cocoa palms whence they were to start out to see the world. The old crocodiles were all fast asleep, foolish ly trusting that the young ones would heed their good advice. All day they swan up stream, for, of course, they were trying to reach the mountain top so that they could go down into the happy land on the other side. where the crocodiles were worshipped as gods. They could not travel on the land be- cause the forest was so dense that they could not make their way through the trees and vines. but sometimes they were obliged to climb along the banks to get around waterfall or over fall len tree. When night came they were very tired. and crept out into some tall grass that grew In a marshy inlet of the Winding Snake and quickly fell asleep.
 Alas, while the young crocodiles slept the water god and his sister came upon them They had told the old croco- diles long ago that the young ones must never leave the hot country, and they had a great deal to do besides looking after crocodiles. They summon the rains and the springs and the streams, and are very industrious people. For many years the crocodiles had obeyed the wishes of the water god, but know ing the habits of crocodiles he was aware that if he overlooked this breach of law he should have perpetual trou- ble with the tribe. So, In order to sat- tie the matter for all times. he called the spirits from the hills and told them to take all the sleeping crocodiles and stand them on their heads in the soft earth of the fqrest.
 The spirits of the hills obeyed the water god, and carried all but one of the little crocodiles into the dark for est. where the sun never penetrates, and stood them up like posts. There they stand today, with their heads buried in the earth and their flat brown tails standing straight up in the air, ed to other crocodiles not to leave the lowIands. For these little wandering crOcodiles have now all turned to trees and the people call them the Rabo de Lagarto (the crocodile's taiD. They cannot live in the sun, and they are only found In the dense shade of the coffee and orange groves or the wild forest. They are as sensitive to the cold winds and fogs as they are to the sun, and suffer from any change be- cause they are not in their native la goons along the Winding Snake.
 When the one little crocodile that the water god overlooked swoke in the

Tn the fall of 1893 I.contracted that fear ful disease, Blood Poison. It gained such headway that was forced to resign my position and seek relief at Hot Springs. After spending all the means had I went to Memphis. In less than three weeks I was in q hospital, and after nine weeks of suffering was discharged as cured. In less than month every bone in my body seemed to be affected and felt as if they would break at the least exertion. Again I was compelled to resign, and returned to the hospital for q seven weeks stay. When I came out l was advised to try farming. When first went on the farm I prevailed on the only firm who handled drugs to get me one dozen bottles of s. S. S. At that time both of my hands were broken out with blisters and was covered with boiIs and sores In the meantimem druggist had gotten two dozen bottles of S. S.

BIG SUGAR
CARGO SAILS
ASTRAL LEAVES TODAY FOR
TONS ABOARD.

The big ship Astral sails today for
Philadelphia with a full load of sugar.
The clearing of the vessel for Philadel-
phia is rather unsual. Ordinarily YES
sells of the Atlantic fleet go to Delaware
BreakwateT for orders. Some times
they are ordered from Delaware Break
water to proceed to Philadelphia and
at others to go to New York. The
Astral has a cargo of 5,611 tons. She
hauled into the steream yesterday.
The Astral will be followed by the
ship S. p. Hitchcock next Tuesday.
The Hitchcock will take 345O tons of
sugar. With the departure of these
vessels, the port will be cleared of YES
sells loading for the Atlantic seaboard.
The ship Luzon is here with a cargo
of 1900 tons of coal. She arrived last
Sunday. The Inter-I Island Steam Ma
vigation Company is not ready to re-
ceive this cargo however so the YES
sci is lying idle at the Hackfeld wharf
She has 10 lay days according to char
ter, and the consignees do not have
to get her cargo out before the expira-
ton of that period. After she gets
rid of her cargo she will begin to load
sugar for the Atlantic.
The next vessel likely to arrive here
to load sugar is the S. S. Californian
due April % from San Francisco. The
Californian will take cargo of about
$500 tons. Most Of this will be loaded
at Honolulu. She will remain about
four days in this port.
The ship Aryan is now out II days
from San Francisco bound for Honolulu
She is to load sugar for the Break
water. She will take about $500 tons.
! She is expected to arrive here in about
a week. The Californian will probably
| be dispatched by the time the Aryan
is ready to receive cargo, so there will
be no delay in the ship starting to
| load.

VISITOR
WAS A THIEF
BANK CLERK CLAIMS TO HAVE
BEEN ROBBED OF SOME JEWEL
RY BY PORTO RICANS.

! Two new alleged crimes growing out
, of the Scott affair came to light today.
The police now have in custody Joe
storrer, a Porto Rican stool pigeon
and Frank Fisher, on charges of lar
ceny and receiving stolen goods re-
spectively.
on the night that Scott was originally
arrested by the police, Storrer was in
the same room with the bank clerk.
Deputy High Sheriff Chilingworth or
dered Storrer to dress and come to the
police station at once. The fellow was
an unusually long time doing so. Some
days later Scott was allowed to go to
his room to secure effects. He announc-
ed that a gold watch and chain which
he had left behind when arrested were
missing. Chillingworth at once recall
ed the circumstances of the Porto Rican
on the night of the arrest and suspect
ed Joe of having a hand i'm the dislp-
pearance of the watch. Detective Re
near was detailed on the case and he
succeeded i'm securing evidence which
strongly duplicates Joe.
The Porto Ricau disposed of the watch
lodging house for $3.50 i'm cash Fisher
was interviewed on the subject today.
He claimed that Joe had owed him two
months rent, so Fisher had allowed S14
for the watch and chain and given the
Porto Rican $3.50 to boot. The Deputy
told Fisher that the latter ought to
have knew very well that Joe was a
thief and that the articles of jewelry
had probably not been come by honestly
Fisher was locked up on a charge of re-
caiving stolen goods ana the bail was
fixed at $3.50. The Porto Rican claimed
that Scott had made him "A present Of
the articles which were worth about
$50
Fisher is alleged, moreover, to have
made an attack on Annie Claudine. III
was through her that the police learned
of the deal between Joe and Fisher
Fisher is said to have torn the womau's
clothes so that she could not come to the
police station to tell what she knew of
the matter
