The Demand For Their skins Has

IAN alligator is a rare thing in the
southern states now" said c. B. Bunge
of Pensacola, Fla.
''Where they could be seen in hum
dreds ten years ago. dotting the banks
of the rivers and swimming in the
Florida swamps, the sight is now be-
coming a very uncommon one. The
great demand for their skins has prac-
ticaliy eXterminated the creatures, and
they will soon be as scarce as the
western buffalo. Some may still be
found in the Everglades and other
swamps, but they are rarely seen, as
they live in mudhoIes to which even
the Seminoles cannot gain access.
THE few that are captured are
caught by means of strategy, as the
open water shooting is a thing of the
past. A strict watch is kept over
their holes. and the moment the gator
appears he is lassoed and dragged
bodily from his home 1t is a very
dangerous method while in the water,
and it requires the combined force of
dozen men to drag an eight foot ALI
gator to the mainland. Even when this
is done the captors are wary, as a
blow from the creatures tail would
seriously disable the stoutest man.
IAN alligator is slow and clumsy in
his movements. but can swing his tail
around in the twinkling of the eye.
The Indians generally wait until they
have the animal in a position where
he cannot use his tail and then sever

government has taken the bounty off
the alligators. which in former years
was a great source of revenue to the

Ball Players Hard Ffpish.

The ending of a ball players career
has in it much the same tragedy that
accompanies the loss of voice by the
singer. AT one fell swoop the player
and his family drop comparative lux
ury, ease and the ability to have all
the ordinary pleasures of life and fall
TO something like actual poverty. Of
tentimes poverty is encountered before
the end of the struggle is reached.
The still young couple, after several
years of good living. travelling, seeing
the world and enjoying all the fun in
sight suddenly come with a splash to
the icy water of poor living. poor
clothes. inability to pay for theater
tickets and trips about and inability
perhaps to much more than pay the
rent of a small fat, for the ball player
who has never done anything but play
ball and who has not saved his money
is against n hard proposition before he
can learn trade or find something to
carry him safely along.-Brockton En-

'Pahaska" MT Reid has adhered strictly to historical facts. and has proven the truth of the old adage that truth is stranger than fiction" He had a wide scope to choose from, as Indian uprisings were frequent occur rences. The play embraces all the in- cidents which led up to Clusters last desperate struggle with the Indians, the destruction of his entire command, and the death of the gallant general himself. The leading part is a strong character, that of Buffalo Bill" the great Indian war scout. The company carries band of full-blooded North American Indians, horses, dogs and wolves. There will be | great street parade daily, led by Clusters Last Fight" company's own Indian brass band This band will also give free concerts before each performance in front of the theater.
 The play returns here with the stamp of success, and should please even the most exacting lover of melo- drama.

rHn GREAT DIVIDE.

"The Great Divide" the new drama
 in which Henry Miller and Margaret Anglin will appear as joint stars at the Hyperion on Thursday night next, is the work of William Vaughn Moody,
 the celebrated Professor of English literature in the University of Chicago.
 MT. Moody has provided these famous actors with play of marked dramatic and literary value. Constructively and
 in characterization it is well nigh faultless. It's interest is cumulative in Ia manner to keep the audience in a state of constant suspense, and Its cll- maxes are powerful in the extreme. In his endeavor to create perfect art form, MT. Moody did not lose sight of the fact that It is the province of the playwright and player to entertain, and entertainment, intense and satisfy ing, is what 'The Great Divide Is.
 Miss Anglin and Mir Miller have pie turesque roles of commanding strength. The one portrayed by Miss Anglin Is part of "Zira," in which this best of emotional actresses made her great suc- cess last season. As Ruth Jordan, a New England woman, in whom the blood of the Puritans Is dominant, who goes to Arizona and there meets her destiny in man in whose veins flow the unrestralned, primitive ardor of the southwest, she has a role calling for immense personal force, perfect technical command, and great variety of emotional display. Mir Miller, as the border lover, has character that calls for fully as pronounced qualities of portrayal. The struggle between these two positive and contrary natures develops a drama of absorbing intensi- ty. There is a psychological note, not sufficiently obtrusive to detract atten- ton from the story, which lends a deeper significance than is found in the common kind of western play, and Is a factor in the climacteric interest. It indicates the steps by which love bat ters down, one by one, the obstacles to it's consummation placed by tradi- ton, environment, and all the forces of ages of opposed thouhgt and action. The first act is laid on cactus farm in Arizona, the second. high up in the Cardillera mountains, at a spot referred to by one of the characters as ''the roof of the world" and the third at Milford Corners, Mass. The play was produced and staged by MT. Miller,

Although they won't admit 1t, many people who suffer from sick headaches and other ails get them straight from the coffee they drink, and it is easily proved if they're not afraid to leave it to test, as in the case of lady in Connellsville,
