Protection for AIIigators.

Bradentown journal; Stock
men in many of the southern coun'
ties of Florida say that they will ask
for The passage of law at the next
session Of the legislature, protect
ing the alligator from slaughter.
They claim, and we think with
reason, that in the days when the
alligator was numerous in the
range, that they kept holes OF
caves dug out in the ponds which
always, even in the very dryesI
seasons, afforded water for cattle,
Also, that the stock range is be-
ing ruined by the constant burn
ing of the marshes and woods, by
fires set out by alligator hunters
who have no interest in cattle,
and many of them little interest in
the general welfare Of the country.

The Summer in Florida.

Palm Beach Ncws: The good
old summer time in Florida may
furnish MS much sunshine to the
acre as is found up North and II
may occasionally furnish more
mosquitoes than are conducive to
pleasure, but itkills no one with
its heat, burns up no crops with
its drouth, destroys no barns,
houses or lives by lightning, cy-
clones or tornadoes, browns no
one with its cloudbursts or floods,
but it does furnish a nice cool
breeze, and all a person has to do
is 10 lie in the shade and enjoy it.
1t Is more than surprising TO res
idents in this section to know that
so called sensible human beings
will live in o country of sun
STROKES, floods, cyclones, sickness
and sudden death, when a country
with as few drawbacks as this
section can be reached as easily
and lived in as cheaply and com
fortably. Come South, friends,
and escape the heat, discomforts
and death that are lurking in
every corner of tho North.

The FIRST game Of base ball play
ed IN the new park near the old
railway depot was pulled off,
Tuesday afternoon, by and he.
tween our local players and team
from Fort Myers. Admission to
the park was free and, in conse-
quence, a large crowd was present.
The stores closed and the business
street presented a Sunday APP
pearance.
The game was notas exciting as
was anticipated, the playing in The
first innings not being up to pub
lie expectation. But, towards the
last, the boys on both sides warm
cd up TO their work and made
amends for their shortcomings in
the beginning. Darkness and a
shower of rain brought the game
to close at the end OF the first
half of the tenth inning, when the
score stood 10 TO 10. AS the final
half inning belonged to Punta
Gorda, the game was awarded to
the home boys.
AT night, a dance in honor of
the visitors was given in Meadow
hall and was greatly enjoyed by
all present. This pleasure was
shortened by the Fort Myers
guests having to leave on the 10
p. m. train. Their visit was a
source of qualification to all our
young people, who hope they will
soon come again.

Lord Kelvin and the Gable.

1t is perhaps not generally known
that the success of the Atlantic cable
was due to the calculations and ex.
periments of the late Lord Kelvin, at
that time plain William Thomson. He
discovered that the current through q
long cable would arrive gradually al
the receiving end and devised the ap.
paratus which rendered it possible tC
utilize such current for making the
Morse signals. 1t was through disre.
gard of his theoretical predictions that
the first Atlantic cable, in 1853. was
ruined by too powerful currents. With,
out his mirror galvanometer to trans.
late into visible signals the delicate
impulses received through the cable
the enterprise would have been a com.
plete failure.

The Poor Hungry Fish.

Here is an interesting thing that
happened last summer to Il friend and
myself" said New Yorker. I'VE had
gone on Il fishing trip in II rowboat,
but it seemed that either all the fish
were at another place or were not hun
CRY. We decided if those fish were
not hungry we were We had taken
our luncheon, as wise fishermen will,
and in order to keep the bread as fresh
as possible had left it in loaf form
My friend asked me to pass it to him,
and in doing so the loaf of bread went

could without the bread and later row.
ed to another place to fish. On our
way back we passed the place where
we lost our bread. Then we saw the
sight of our lives. On each side of the
loaf of bread stood Il big fish, and for
as far as we could see there was q
great line of small fish. We wondered
what it was, and then the thought
dawned on us-those fish had formed
a 'bread line and the two large fish
were dealing out the bread After that
we didn't have the heart to try to
catch any of those poor, hungry fish"

A Bride With Some Good Points.

Some years ago in an agricultural
district in England there lived Il farm
er who wanted TO sell one of his COWS.
There was not at that time a weekly
paper in which he could advertise, so
he resolved to follow a local custom
and ask the vicar of the parish when
giving out his notices at church to ad-
vertise the cow,
Yes, farmer" said the vicar, 81
should be willing to oblige you, but
you don't attend my church"
Presently, however, they struck a
bargain that the vicar should adver-
tise the COW, and the man in return
promised to 30 to church. Now, un-
fortunately the man was deaf, and on
the Sunday following when the vicar
gave out the banns of marriage be-
tween Joseph So-and-so, bachelor, and
Sarah SO-and-so, spinster the farmer
took it for granted that the vicar was
giving out particulars of his COW and
shouted out:
You might as well say while you
are about it that she is a most gentle
creature and entirely free from vice.

Where Red Hair Is Disliked.

In Cornwall, particularly the Land S
End district, it is not advisable to dub
Il person "a red haired Dane" though
in most parts of England especially
inland, the expression would as likely
as not provoke no comment ut all or be
regarded rs simply frivolous.
At Il police court case heard in 1861
at Penzance town hall it came out in
evidence that the defendant had called
the complainant "a red haired Dane"
and this led to an assault. The strong
repugnance of Cornishmen to be dubbed
by this strange appellation is as strong
as ever
The Celtic nations hated the Danes
and were always fighting them. And
not only in Cornwall, but also all along
our coasts, where the Danes or Morse
men made their ravages, this deep
rooted prejudice against people with
red hair, red headed" more or less
remains ingrained in the national char
acter-J. Harris Stone in "The Eng
