NEARLY BECOMES FOOD
FOR bad" ALLIGAT0RS
Story Of an Unpleasant Experience
with the Huge Beasts in
Florida Jungle.

Chicago.-1n the jungle mile or so
above Palm Beach, Fla, dwells a good
natured giant called ALLIGATOR Joe"
For years he has, by some secret
stratagem, captured large, live alliga-
tors and crocodiles in the Everglades,
and corralled them in shallow ponds
surrounded by stockades of high posts.
During "the season" Joe gives daily
exhibitions at the ALLIGATOR Farm" to
guests from the resort, jumping into
one of the corrals and actually riding
huge alligator.
There are. three enormous outlaw
crocodiles, however, kept in basin
of their own, that Joe only ventures
to stir up with a long pole from a
safe roost on top Of the stockade.
Them Ones" Joe explained, lis the
baddest: ones got"
And they certainly were savage,
breaking their teeth on. the pole,
churning the water to foam, and
tearing to bits anything thrown them.
One Sunday called on Joe, wearing a
bathing suit, and while he was cutting
me some palm pronds in the jungle, I
climbed on the stockade inclosing the
'baddest ones," and proceeded to give
myself free exhibition, by proddlng
them up somewhat lively with the pole.

tween two leaves. Statisticians might
be Interested to note that hair of a
brunette character Is more common
than. blond or near blond. Gray is
seldom thus paraded.
Eyeglasses and spectacles are not
uncommon finds, which might indicate
that the reader, having waded so far,
had no mind for any further reading.
Scraps of paper, occasionally an I'M
mailed letter, and proofs of photo
graphs axe common captures; but
never a banknote, and, strange to say,
never an unreceipted bill or comic
valentine.
On the other hand more than once
unpaid dinner checks have turned up,
which would denote such devotion on
the part of bluestockings that they
cannot eat without print before them.
Side combs are said to make good
markers, and parlor matches have a
particular excellence for this purpose.
Coats, hats, waistcoats, shoes, suit

statute books or that written u the
heart Of every mother BY the pangs Of
childbirth? So sure sas she lives, that
mother win obey the suhWritten law
and the child she will have, It Is only
ten years since there was taken from
our statute book the law that man
could by will give his unborn child to
whom he pleased, without reference
to the paramount claim, by affection
and suffering of its mother.
A member of the bar in the one
state in the union where there are no
divorce laws once told me that in his
state they had no serious trouble as
to domestic infelicities. IF man
abuses my sister he knows whom he
has to deal with" In this case the
unwritten law seemed to be preferred
to the statute law, which sewers the
marriage bond on adequate grounds
we'll proven. I suggested to the gen
tleman that all women were not so
fortunate as to have brothers, but
the reply was that seldom was there
a case in which there was no male
relative, and that he believed that
were such case to arise of gross
abuse, there was always to be found
in the community man who would
protect the woman and her rights.

Dogs, especially settlers, pointers
and other hunting animals, as well as
fierce and unruly ones, need to be
kept chained most of the time, the
hunting dogs to prevent them from
8straying away, generally at night, and
Others from annoying or endangerlng
the safety of people coming on the
premises. To keep dogs on chain
constantly, preventing them from get
ting much-needed exercise, is cruel
and prejudicial to their health, and it
also serves to make cross dog so
much more unruly and dangerous as
frequently to necessitate having him
killed. There is practical and easily
constructed method of overcoming the
sdfficulty and still restraining the dog

SNAKE CAUSES RUNAWAY
Frightened Team Dashes from Bridge
to Stream Below, But Driver Is
Saved by Graspine Tree in
Nick Of Time.

Chicago.-It happened in Missouri.
A warm midsummer day was rapidly
drawing to close. In company with
the other hay hands on a large plan
tation | was working far past the
usual supper hour in order that all
the timothy cut and shocked might
be securely stacked before darkness
and threatened rain overlook us.
There was one more load to get, just
a little lag" and it fell to myself
and another lad even younger than
for l was only Ito go and bring
it In. The hay field was nearly a
mile distant from the stack yard,
and, inspired to hasten by healthy ap-
petites, we started off at a brisk trot
with team.
About half the distance had been
covered when something happened. A
huge rattle snake crossed the road
just ahead of the team. 1 was driv-
Ing and had turned to speak to my
companion who sat near the rear end
of the wagon, and SO did not notice
the snake until we were almost upon
it. 1t coiled ready to spring, and
gave forth it's warning rattle. When
the horses heard the rattle they
jumped simultaneously and started
up the road at breakneck speed. At
this point the road was rough, and
there was quite an up grade, and I
felt sure could stop them before we
reached the highest point and start
ed down the other side. I held the
lines firmly and kept the now thor
oughly frightened animals in the Gen.
ter of the road.
All was apparently going we'll.
thought l could feel myself getting
control of them slowly but surely,
when suddenly we struck good-sized
bowlder. We went over it all right,
but the ladder or front piece Of the
hay frame which was supposed to lie
In the bottom of the wagon when the
frame was empty, and which worked
on pivot hinge permitting it to be
raised into an upright position, had
been left up. When we struck the
bowlder, the resulting Jolt sent this
ladder flying backwards, and it came
down over my head and shoulders,
knocking the lines out of my hands,
thereby leaving the team free to dc
their worst.
Before I could extricate myself
from the ladder we had started down
grade at terrific pace, and right
ahead was "the bad bridge" across
odd Muddy creek" which was nc
more than deep gully in most places
but sometimes turbulent stream wind
ing through it.
The bridge spanned a chasm sc
feet in width and stood over 40 feet
above the rocks and water below. But
the worst feature of this bridge was
that it was built across the chasm al
an angle, the road turning at this
point and following the creek fol
some few rods. 1 knew we could
never get across that bridge, but We

WHAT A RACE SINGS ABOUT.
Each Nationality Has Its Own Rance
OF Favorite Ballads.

1T may or may not be the case that
a races temperament can be Judged
from its folk SONGS" said a traveller
but 1t is interesting to note the diff
ference of subject matter in. the songs
of various peoples.
."The 1rishman, for instance. seems
to sing for the most part about his
lady love. Hardly any of his songs
are not addressed to his Somebody
Mavourneen.'

about his country and it's history. AZ A

1.-THE Englishman, it is interesting
to note, sings about himself all the
time. His songs are about his own
glory, his ships, his men, his power.

first "unwritten law" tragedy were
men of fortune, culture and position.
One, the son of a poet who wrote THE
Star Spangled Banner" the other a
member of congress from New York
and equally conspicuous and respect
ed. The member of congress, seeing
the other leave his home and wave a
handkerchief back to his young wife,
leaning out of the window, confronted
him there by the iron fence in front
of his door and telling him of his
shame and that he must die, followed
him up and shot him to death I was
reading law at the time of the trial
and followed the case closely. I re-
member reading with surprise the
plea, not of the advocate, but the plea
of the judge for the prisoner. l re-
call how one of the jurors, the oldest
of them all, going down on his knees
in corner of the jury room, prayed
long and loud for the divine guidance
in holding the hearthstone sacred.
Lines BY c. II. Webb.
AS an example of the unexampled
pity for both parties to the tragedy let
me quote few lines written at the
time by c. H. Webb, of New York,
son of prominent politician of the
time, and our minister to Mexico:
This for the wronged member of
congress:
Blood on his hands.
A stain on his bed;
Pity them all
Living and dead.
And this is for the handsome and
dashing betrayer:
Billows of sod

have no use for either man or wom-
an without deep and sincere sentiment
and sympathy in all things. But you
search the Bible in vain for anything
like this "unwritten law" disease.
There are those who tell you that you
can find anything you want to find in
the Bible. And, true, you can find
many strange things. You can find
almost anything. But defy you to
find anything like this "unwritten
law" in all the lessons, laws, precepts
and examples to be found between
the lids of the Book of Books. I con.
fine you let US live by the sacred
decalogue. There is all the law. Ac-

holy lesson of our Savior, who prayed,

not swim out Their struggles lasted,
it seemed to me, an hour, in reality
but a few moments, and they sank
out of sight.
My companion was nowhere in
sight. In my excitement I had for
gotten him. He now came running
down the road. He had managed to
drop out of the end of the wagon
soon after the runaway started, and
had escaped with only a few bruises.
He saw my predicament and real
lied the seriousness of my position
more than I did myself The branch
l chung to was too slight to permit
me to climb on it to the limb above.
l could not hang in that position
long. Already my arms were begin
ming to pain me. To drop meant to
drown, for I hung directly over the
pool, and just before me, some 80
feet down, projected a jagged rock.
Hang on" my companion shouted,
I'll be back with rope" He ran
to a farm house, which was fortu-
nately near by, and came back not
only with rope but with two strong
farmer lads ready to assist, and I
was rescued.
