Divinq for AlIiqators.

While walking near a pond in the
woods, Bullie Ham, who can tell the
presence of an alligator by the smell
of the critter, pulled off his coat and
took header under the water. While
at the bottom of the pond Bullie's leg
arose to the surface and waved to the
men near the shore. The warning was
needed by the men catching Bullie's
leg and giving it yank that brought
Bullie to the surface and with Bullie
came an alligator that measured some
four feet in length.-Apalachic

HustIlna the Pupils.

Most all nations condemn the Amer.
ican system of education. In Ger
many, France and England, boys and
girls are allowed at least two years
longer than here TO learn the same
things, and thus what they learn is
not so easily forgotten.
The hard study required of Ameri
can school children gives them weak
eyes, keeps them indoors too muca
and affects the general health. The
sole aim of the teachers seems to be
to hustle them through the grades and
get rid of them. We are being so bad
ly criticised for this that it seems
as if some change should be made.

why he should not sign the liquor
