All honor to the man who is not
afraid to do his duty because some
one ridicules or opposes him. He
who has opinions of his own and the
courage to advocate them will be
sure to have opposition in the world
because he runs across or contrary
to other peoples opinions; but just
keep right ahead If your cause is
right and your conscience will be
clear. Don't worry about what
other people say; life is too short
for that. Some will abuse you
through envy. others for want Of
principle and some because they
honestly differ with you. but If you
keep right on openly, manfully and
intelligently, and with your proper
dignity of character. honesty OF pur.
pose and self-respect. those who diff.
fer from you will respect your opin.
Ions.

81, and the event has proved sue

to see the many yellow signs which

who were employed to take care Of
the trade, sever their connection in

An American motto which particu-

western state to adopt this for its state
seal. He also vainly endeavored TO
discover the original inventor OF the
pithy phrase. 1t appeared upon the
volumes of Webster's Dictionary as "a
sort of trademark" but DIR. Hale
found it FIRST in one of Lowell's pleas

The surpIies.

The old Scotswoman who referred
to the surplice as a "sark" or shirt was
was perfectly correct. For that is
what It originally was, according to
the LoT don Chronicle. After the in
vasion of the northern barbariaus it
was a common custom to wear a white
shirt over the sheepskin or otter skin
then in use. Hence, in the twelfth
century" writes Dean Stanley in his
Christian Institutions, "arose the bar
barous name of superpelelicium or sur
plice-the overfur. Its name indicates
that 1t is the latest of ecclesiastical
vestments, and though. like all the
others. generally worn both by clergy
and laity, indoors and out Of doors, 1t
is the most remote in descent from
primitive times"

skill In Nail Driving.

1t usually takes a woodworker's APP
prentice a year or more to learn that
he doesn't know how. A fedgeling me-
chanic who spoke sneeringly of man
whom he heard using several blows of
the hammer to drive a shingle nail
was somewhat crestfallen when told
that the NAH would hold better when
driven home" by several light taps
than when driven by one heavy one.
"Why?" asked he in surprise.
Because" said the other, when you
drive nail home with heavy blow
it is apt to rebound triHe, loosening
the grip of the wood fibers on it. Drive
it almost down. If you will, with as
hard blows as you wish. but finish the
job with several light blows" -ScieD.

SPORT IN HOOKING GATORS
Also Is a Pastime That Has a Consid.
cradle Amount of Danger Mixed
With II.

Hunting alligators at night with
a bullseye lantern and shotgun is
tame sport compared with what is
called gator hunt down in Florida"
said an old Floridian. Il mean the
feat of capturing an alligator alive
and then towing the fellow to high
ground through mud and water from
what is called in Florida gator hole.
"The gator fishermen first find the
hole, which is indicated by an open
ing in the surrounding grass in the
midst Of a dense growth of vegeta-
ton, where the ground is worn smooth
by the alligator in his pulls In and
out. Sometimes these gator holes
are in the nature of a cave In the
bank of stream and may be 10 or
20 feet deep, and If so it is not an
easy matter to get the animal out.
"The fisher is supplied with long
pole with a metal hook in the end. He
takes strong rope and throws it
about the entrance of the hole. At
this juncture Roosevelt's monkey
hunting in Africa is not in it COM
pared to gator hunting in the Florida
marsh.
"Then the fisher rams with the
hooked pole down the den and waits
and listens. If he finds the gator in
the hole he leases the beast by pick
ing him until the gator in a rage
finally grabs the hooked pole and is
pulled from the den. 1t is with uncer-
tainty that he is dragged forth, for 1t
is not known whether the catch is
large or small one; the fisher does
not know whether to get into shape
, to run or to fight. But out the gator
comes, believing and roaring mad.
"After the gator is dragged to the
surface he in his rage turns and rolls
and finally twists himself up in the
rope or moose that has been previous
| ly prepared With the assistance OF
the others in the party the gators
legs and mouth are tied and the ga
tor is prisoner.
"The gator is for the most part
caught in marshes where the ground
is soft and slushy and too wet for
either horse or wagon to enter. The
fishers are compelled to carry their
catch to higher ground, there to be
loaded into the waiting wagon, and
the hunt is ended.
