BAIT FOR ALLlGAToRs,

The Way q Mexican indian Gathers In
the Ugly Beasts.
A Pinto Indian Of eastern Tabasco
adopted q novel method Of catching
alligators. The Indians weapons were
q harpoon, stout club and a coil o4
tarred lariats. For bait he used .
sucking pig. q box Of something which
smelled extensively and several chunks
Of half roasted meat
Selecting an overhanging bouxh
about six yards from the waters edoe,
the Indian stripped OF its leaves and
suspended from the fork the squealing
pig. That was the bait for the eyes
and ears Of the alligator.
Opening the box. he used Its o6en-
sive contents to grease a string. one
end Of which he tied to a bush, and.
weighing the other with a piece Of
wood, threw it into the river. That
was the nose bait.
Between the thicket and the waters
edge was long sand dam. capped
with a row Of gnaried logs. Taking
the chunks Of meat, he placed them
at equal intervals between the beach
and the ridge Of the dam. This is
my grub bait" said the Indian. 1T
will make him mount the harreea"
(barricadel.
Stimulating the pig with kick that
caused 1t to squeal for the next ten
minutes. the Indian waited in ambush,
harpoon In hand.y One end Of a long
lariat was fastened to It and the other
to q tough elastic sapling. The sun
had set and It was growing dark when
Z dark object was seen to rise slowly
from the water and sprawl up the dam
The first chunk Of roast bait was COB
bled.
Hes smacking his chops!' chuckled
the Indian. Its the same one eyed
old sinner that owes me two pigs, but
he's going to pay his debts"
Gobbling the second chunk, the aIli.
gator crawled on. swallowing the third,
and ut the sight OF the hanging pig
stopped and glared. Suddenly he
pushed forward and fell into a sandy
hollow behind the dam.
Instantly he turned and headed for
the dam Up sprang the Pinto ana
hurled the harpoon through his ecaly
hide. Il got you this timer he shout.
ed.
Jerked back by the tension OF the
lariat, the alligator made the leaves ~
with his switching tail and would have
snapped the rope II the elasticity Of
the sapling had not broken the force
OF his spring as he plunged forward
again and again.
SEEKING the club and jumping around
the nounfsering prisoner. the Indian
dealt him whack across the head that
laid him sprawling on his back. Three
more blows. and the alligator had paiA
his debt-New York World.

Collins showed this to be 50 In one o.

Warning dreams or premonitions may

We do not understand.
Lincoln was not counted supersti
tious because he had some confidence
in the prophetic character Of one
dream. At least, fcr IL visited his sleep
on several occasions, and he spoke Of
1t seriously to members Of his family
and to his closest friends. In telling
Of this vision he said be seemed to Be

great rapidity toward . dark and in.

The dream preceded several marked
incidents during his occupancy Of the
presidential chair, notably before the
battles Of Antietan. Fredericksburs
and Gettysburg.
On the morning Of the memorable
14th Of April he informed members OF
his cabinet that he had dreamed this
same thing the night before and be-
lieved that they were on the threshold
Of some momentous issue. So i'm.
pressive were his remarks that his
auditors were profoundly moved. but
no seer among them could read TIE

news Of his assassination which should

THE COST TAG DINNER.

All OF our sympathiess are with Ncr-
folk In her Indignant protests against
the act OF a Richmond correspondent
OF New York newspaper In crib
bling for his own town the credit for
the famous and many times adver-
tised twenty dollar o plate dinner to
Mr.. II. II. Rogers and associates.
The offense in all probability was
entirely unintentional and 1t Is equally
within the bounds Of reason that
the correspondent would readily have
been forgiven, or his sin altogether
overlooked but for the cost tag ap
pendage.
The tag feature had been exploited
far and wide for days and weeks
prior to the occurrence Of the func.
ton. Norfolk did not boast SO much
OF the fact that she would entertain
Mr.. Rogers upon the occasion OF the
opening OF the Virginia Railway. The
Inauguration OF This great artery OF
commerce, while recognized AZ OF
some importance. as a feature OF the
advance stories sent out from Nor
folk 1t always occupied second place
to the per plate cost feature OF the
banquet.
Had Mr.. Rogers read all OF these
notices, doubtless he would have felt
II incumbent upon himseh to pay
the freight" for himself and assoc q;
iates.
What would a gentleman CT the old
school. attending banquet given IN
his honor, say fifty years ago. have
thought OF a prefixed price upon his
Wanda, published far in advance?
Can anybody imagine General (then
ColoneD Robert T. Lee. after the ac-
complishment CT Ills famous engineer

oysters will please you; they cost
dollar a Dozen" Il can vouch for the
canvas back duck because they set
us back three dollars apiece Take
some OF celery, sir, but It involved an
outlay Of sixty cents q bunch. etc, etc.
OF course nothing like this came
on in Norfolk. But the function above
assigned to the waiter had previously
been performed by the Norfolk cor
respondents and some OF the news
papers with such assiduity that the
black Gaseous were relieved Of the
duty.
