Alligator Tails Now a Favorite Dish
in Florida


in Florida.
There is nothing better, | am told,
than the tip of the tail of an alligator
which has reached, say, the pullet
period" said Frank Holden yesterday.
ut is creamy in color, tasting little
like frogs lo IS, but with a more pro-
nounced gamy flavor, juicy-altogeth-
er tempting, I'm told. The dish is
great favorite in Florida. where its
serving is considered a great honor.
Alligator tails are best at this
time of year, just after the ricebird
season. The big alligators float in
the water witt only their eyes show
ing. When they see a flock of these
fat, juicy little birds they dive to the
bottom. Their long, wide snout scoops
up some of tie loan and they float to
the surface again with just the rich
soil showing. The birds think 1t is
an island. They alight upon it. When
the whole family is there the big
beast turns suddenly. Just as the
birds scramble off he opens his mouth
once. They are gone.
THE birds are neat little feeders
and the alligator is an epicure at this
time of the year. The ricebird diet
makes the tip of his tail, of which he
is most vain, tender and sweet

an organ grinder with monkey the

Mr.. Hampton was evidently amused.

Mr.. Hampton.

Thereupon Jack began doing stunts
as he had never done them before.
He would stand on his head, light on
his feet, and then look wise. He
would hold out his scrawny paw in
a most bewtching manner, and wink
in a way to make any human envious.
After Jack had handed over the
coins given him for his master he
would turn his pockets inside out and
become downright detected. The
grinder would tug at the rope, and it
would be only after many pulls that
Jack would cheer up land take no

sHREWD SON OF NEW ENGLAND
PeddIer Used Hypnotism to Victimize
His Customers.

Twenty years ago there were few
people in Worcester county who had
not made the acquaintance of Ebenez-
er Handy of Millbury, a vender of fish,
fruits and vegetables, and occasionally
displaying the red flag of an auction
eer. He was a poet in small but
original way, and must have had some
knowledge of hypnotism, which was
little heard of in those days. While
in the act of selling his wares he
would keep up such running fire of
words that many of his patrons lost
their leads, and in some cases paid
him more money than was their in
tention. This Is one example of his
methods:
In Millbury one day he sold WON
an six pounds of fish at 6 cents
pound, and bunch of radishes for b
cents. The woman stood with her
purse in hand ready to foot the bill,
and as the goods were passed over
Handy ratified off this: six times six
is &C. and five is 101. Live and let
live is my motto; call it a dollar"
The woman was educated, and knew
the value of money, but she did not
know TIE mysterious ways of Ebenez-
err Handy and she paid 81, thinking
he had kindly thrown off the odd cent.

if accepted within twenty-four hours
after the receipt of the proposal B
mails his letter of acceptance. A valid
contract was thereby made, even
though the letter of acceptance did
not reach A until forty-eight hours
thereafter. Should B wait twenty-four
hours after receiving the letter of pro-
posal his acceptance would be of no
avail.
An offer may be withdrawn even al
though the offerer has agreed to leave
the offer open for acceptance for a
stated time. 1t cannot be withdrawn,
however, within a time stated where
there was any consideration given for
the option or time limit. Where there
is no money consideration and no cor
responding promise not to withdraw
the offer has no binding force. If
consideration for the undertaking to
leave the offer open is given and &C.
cepted this constitutes of itself a con-
tract and the offer cannot be with
drawn within the time.
An offer Is to be considered as open
for reasonable time; after a reasona-
BILE time has elapsed an acceptance will
be too late. What is reasonable time
will depend on the particular case and
its circumstances.
When the offerer is at liberty to re-
tract, the retraction must be commune
Gated to the offeree before he has &C.

Francis was surprise to many Of the

news TO Senator w. ~ stone. Of Mis-
souri,. and members Of the House from
that state. Perhaps no man in the
Democnstic party could have made a
pronouncement for Bryan which would
have been more effective than Mr..
Francis. He was one OF the western
Democrats who remained loyal to Mr..
Cleveland and the gold standard wing
of the Democratic party when the 1s
