Coaxed Alligators With Pickaninnies

NEW YORK. June I3.-Their greedy
eyes eagerly fixed on two plump little
pickaninnles, the crocodies and alligators
in the New York Geological Garden were
decoyed from their winter quarters in
the reptile house to the cool and shady
tank just outside the building.
1t was the keepers idea to bait the
saurians with pickaninnies, knowing as
he did their epicurean fondness for the
black man. So as two small colored chill
dren happened to drift through the reptile
house among the throng OF visitors ne
pressed them into service.
The two crocodiles and all but four of
the twenty-five alligators wobbled out as
quick as they could after the ebony mites,
who darted around the tank just as the
pursuing monsters fell with grunts of
chagrin into the water. disappointed of
their prey.
Four of the big aIligators had to be
lassoed and dragged 10 their summer
quarters by ropes. One snapped at Head
Keeper Snyder's leg and missed IL by an

"A. j. MARSHALL DEAD.
Business Mar Passed
Away Yesterday.

Andrew j. Marshall died at his home
at Il .15 o'clock Thursday forenoon of
pneumonia. Previous to his sudden at
tack Mr.. Marshall had been about with
his usual health all the fall. For nearly
half century the deceased was one Of
in Middlebury. He was born at Hollis,
N. H., December 81, 1923. He came to
Middlebury In March, 1865, expecting to
remain only week for the accommoda-
ton Of the general superintendent OF the
Rutland Burlington railroad. But his
stay extended not only beyond the week
but up to the day of his death, and for
the greater part of interim he was station
agent for the railroad people here, a posi-
ton which he relinquished only a dozen
years or 30 ago.
Mr.. Marshall was the first general
dealer In coal in Middlebury and estab-
lished the first ice business for the ac-
commodation of the general public. He
was all his life business man and did
business thoroughly and honestly-so
honestly that no man or woman that
knew him in all his long business career
has anything but the kindest and most
appreciative words to say of him now
that he has gone.
Andrew J. Marshall was what is
known as gentleman of the old school,
though this does not mean that he was
not progressive. On the contrary, he
kept up his active interest in all that per-
tained to improvement in his community
and state, even after he had reached adj
advanced age, AID his judgement was
well worth consideration. He was of
the type of courtly, considerate men,
holding the esteem of his friends and as
sociates without ostentation. Mr.. Mar
shall was married to Miss Mary B George
at Harvard, Mass April 2S, 1850, who
survives him with two children, George
E. Marshall the well-known merchant,
and Miss Clara Marshall both of Middle
bury The only other immediate rela-
tives are a sister. Mrs. r. T. Smith of
Nashua, N. H, and a nephew, Frank
Marshall of Sioux City, Iowa. The fp-
neral arrangements have not yet been

4 Sensible Printer.

A New Oreleans paper tells OF g
printer who, when his felloW-work-
men went out to drink beer during
working hours, put in the bank the
exact amount which he would have
spent if he had gone out to drink
with them. He kept to his resolu-
ton for five years. He then examln-
ed his bank account and found that
he had on deposit s521.85. In the
five years he had not lost day from
i'll health.
Four or five Of his fellow-workmen
had. in the meantime, become drunk

and were discharged. The water
drinker bought a printing office on
enlarging his business, and in twenty
wears from the time he began to put
by his money was worth one hundred

ing a revival meeting here, has is
! sued an open letter to William ].
Bryan urging the Nebraskan to be-
come an evangelist and predicting
that Mr.. Bryan would become the
equal of the apostle Paul.
Twelve years ago." writes Mr..
Oliver, Il wrote you a letter in
which l stated my conviction
that you should preach the gospel
and added the statement that if you
would consecrate your wonderful
talents to God-as an evangelist the
Bryan of the twentieth century cen
tury would equal the Paul of the
first century, as champion Of the
cause of Christ.
Personally your three defeats
have been three sources Of sorrow to
me, as l have hoped to see you elect
ed to the Presidency. Who knows?
Perhaps God has withheld the Presi-
dency from you in order that you
may become more to your country
than President, l am firmly convinc-
ed that one ambassador Of Christ OF
your calibre is worth more to this
nation than ten thousand Presidents.
This impression regarding your
fitness for this great work named
has been strong in my heart for
twelve years, and / pray God that 1t
may become a fire in your great

Kiss my love for me.
And when you have kissed her, sweet
south wind,
Tell her | never forget
For the pale white mists of parting
Are floating round me yet.
Tell her sit all day and dream
Of the joys that time may bring,
Till the old love poems af1oat in my

And the tune, O wind, that they sing
and ring
with burst Of passionate rhyme)
Is THE Lovers Prayer"-a sweet

A song Of the olden time.
Touch her lips lightly, sweet south
wind,
As should were | there;
And dry up the tear in her violet
eyes,
And play with her purple hair.
O soft south wind O sweet south
wind
o wind from off the sea
When you blow to the inland ports
Of home,
Kiss my love for me!

Mr.. Bryan may be in advance OF
the times with his advocacy of gov
ernmental reform, but despite his
three overwhelming defeats we still
think him the greatest and purest
man in public life today, and we be-
lieye that the failure to elect him
President is the country's loss more
than Mr.. Bryan's. We would not
favor his running again, for his last
effort has fully convinced us that the
slight hope we entertained was q
forlorn one. Yet the principles for
which Mr.. Bryan stands are Demo-
cratic to the core, having ever in

The leaves by hundreds came.
And Ashes, Oaks, and Naples,
And those Of every name.
The sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand;
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
The Chestnuts came in yellow,
The Oaks in crimson dressed;
The lovely Misses Maple
In scarlet looked their best,
And balanced all their partners,
And gayly f1uttered by;
The sight was like a rainbow
New fallen from the sky.
Then, in the rustic hollows.
At "hide and seek" they played

And everybody stayed.

You can cure dyspepsia, indigestion,
sour or weak stomach, or in fact any
form of stomach trouble if you will take
Kodol occasionally-just at the times
when you need it. Kodol does not
have to be taken all the time. Ordi-
narily you ouly take Kodol now and
then, because it completely digests all
the food you eat, and after a few days
or a week or so, the stomach can di-
gest the food without the aid of Kodol.
Then you don't need Kodol any longer.
