How crocodiles Are Caurht,

In some parts Of India the natives
dig crocodile pit which they cover
with sticks and leaves. The pit sur
rounds q little island or mound Of
earth and is close to stream where
crocodiles abound. On this mound
they fasten q young goat, and its
bleatings through the night attract the
crocodiles who break the trail floor
Of sticks with their heavy todies and
fall into the pit prepared for them.

that the introduction OF minute division

Of the large shop as contrasted with

er%HE people OF Philadelphia have
4 triumphed for the moment They
are now conscious Of their power. The
combine intrenched, arrogant and defiant
has been compelled TO cry for mercy.
Thomas Dolan has sent message TO

not accept a new lease at the present
time, which means that It Is anticipated
that public interest viii subside and that
some new project after time will be
allowed to so through.
Mr.. Dolan and his fellow phiianthrop-
lists feel aggreved and shocked at the
lack Of appreciation on the part Of the
people. They cannot understand the
'senseless public ciamor" raised against
the contemplated lease. But since their
philanthropy has been rejected, tho city
will have to suffer, nor look TO them for
succor.
This is the attitude they assume in the
hour OF surrender It is a case Of vaultins

gentlemen been content with a smaller

would have passed, the people grumbled

Is that while hogs are allowed to keer

place there was a triweekly service for

This marked the first overland travel
