ALLIGATORS' NESTS.
They Resemble Haystacks and Are
Natural Incubators.

Natural Incubators.
IAN alligators' nest is an interesting
thing" said Alligator Joe. wild alli-
gators build their nests on the bank of
river or in marshy places They are
made of mud. saw grass and leaves
and mold They are sort of natural
incubators, for the eggs. which are
laid from thirty-five to eighty in
nest at one time, are hatched out by
the steam which comes up through the
mud as much as by the sun. Around
the nest a pile of grass is laid. some
times as high as six feet. and from a
distance resembles stack of hay.
The mother gator has her den near
by. She makes it by burrowing into
q bank of soft mud. and sometimes it
is seventy feet or more inland. The
only way TO get her out of n den like
that is to take n long steel rod and
thrust it down the tunnel. which is al
ways Slanting. When the gator feels
the prodding she will come out to see
what the trouble is.
1T takes alligator eggs two months
and six days 10 hatch. When the little
ones come out the mother calls them
together by a noise which is something
between cluck and a grunt, and they
all scramble down from the nest to her
den. If it is on the edge of a river
the den is filed with minnows AS the
mother enters the den she swishes her
tail around with terrific force. killing
the smallest fish, and when they float
the little alligators nab them up.
"A mother alligator will sometimes
have four or five denS. and she takes
her brood from one to another. repeat
ing the swishing process in each one
until the young ones have had a full
meal"-Harriet Quimby in LeSlie's.

bother your father while he's dress
ing" Papa was shaving and at the
same time committing a speech to
memory in case he should be called
upon for something impromptu.
The tiny trickles of blood down his
chin showed where the speech was
getting the better part of his atten-
ton. On the bed lay q clean white
shirt, and across chair hung papa's
dress clothes. He hadn't worn the
dress clothes for two years and was
considerably stouter now.
After awhile the children, crouch
ing interestedly at the door, heard en-
tertaining things.
"Confound the shirtr' howled papa
IL know l washed my hands. but the
neckbands all dirty" Mammals voice
scotched him.
Through the keyhole the children
saw papa struggle into his coat. The
stiff shirt rose almost to his ears. and
a high collar nearly sawed them off.
"Doggone itr' walled papa. 1.-THE
sleeves of this coat are a mile too

Then his shoes hurt him; he couldn't
get his tie uAeu tight, his HdQOker-
chief was hopelessly massing, and final
ly he stood miserably in the middle of
the floor.
His face was red. the perspiration
poured down his nose, his thin hair
stood up, and he was about the most
uncomfortable looking person the chill
dren had ever seen.
Now, then" said mamma, with a
sigh, you're fixed. You have no idea.
dear, how nice you look"
"Oh, yes" papa snarled, 81 look nice,
I don't think" Then he found his hat
and light coat and stalked stiffiy and
uncomfortably out. The children, hid
ing behind the stair railing, saw. him
depart.

MOVE GROWS IN FAVOR
Bill Authorizing DispOSaI of Bridges
Passed by Last Legislature.

In connection with the movement
to have the toll system on the Milan
bridges abolished Representative II.
l.. Wheelan should be given credit
for the part he has played as it was
he who introduced and secured pas
sage of the bill in the legislature
authorizing the city of Rock Island
to relinquish control of the bridges
in which event the ownership would
be vested in Black Hawk township.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that be-
fore many months the council will
see its way clear to make the bridge
entrance to the city a free highway.
Charging a toll for the privilege of
getting in or out of a city is form
of primitiveness that Rock Island
long ago Outgrew. Other cities are
not only removing all barriers, but
they are Offering inducements in the
way of improved roads and intCY.E-
ban line extensions to encourage
communication with the surrounding
country.

THE BELTEO PLAID.
This Was the Original Dress of the
Scottish Highlander.

ms was rhe original Dress of the
Scottish Highlander.
The original dress of the highlander
was the belted plaid. This was piece
of tartan cloth, two yards broad and
four long, which was drawn around
the waist in nicely adjusted folds and
tightly buckled with n belt. The lower
part came down to the knees in much
the same manner as the modern kilt.
while the upper part was drawn up
and adjusted to the left shoulder. so
that the right arm might be perfectly
free. This upper part was the plaid,
which was used as a covering for the
shoulders and body in wet weather.
and when the use of both arms was
required ii was fastened across the
breast with a brooch, often curiously
enriched. A brooch was also used TO
fasten the plaid on the left shoulder
To attire himself in the belted plaid
required on the part of the highlander
no small amount of dexterity. The
usual way was to lay it on the floor
and after carefully arranging the
folds TO lie down upon it and then
buckle it on. The lower end was fas-
tened at the right hip. The utility of
such n dress in the highlands is OBJ
viouS. for the plaid rendered the man
Indifferent to storms and prepared TO

most inclement weather while the
loose underzarment enabled him 70

equal ease. It was thus peculiarly
adapted 70 the warrior, the hunter and

was a tiny automobile in which, start
ing on their journey of life. were a
bride and groom, crowned with white
wax flowers. Sprays of smilaX were
spread over the cloth extending to
each place. The serving table and
sideboard were massed with the vel
low and white blossoms. In the par
lors and hall fairy baskets filed with
sprays of big yellow and white chrys-
anthemums were suspended from the
walls and festoons of the flowers and
smilax completed a beautiful scheme
of decoration.
The bride is the only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. H. L. Casteel and is a
bright and lovable young woman. en-
dowed with many graces and accom-
plishments. She is a graduate OF the
local schools and from the high school
in the class of 'O4. She then cOmplet-
ed her school training at Mount Yer
non seminary at Washington, D. c.
Mr.. Head is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
C. B. Head of Moline. He is Rock
Island young man by birth, attending
the local schools and later graduating
from the university of Illinois. He is
worthy and industrious and holds a
responsible position in the experiment
tai department of Deere & Co.
The wedding is the brilliant culmina-
ton of a series of beautiful prenup-
tial events in which the bride was the
honoree and not only her maids, but
other friends as we'll, seized the OPP
portunity to bestow upon her acts OF
love and attention at this, the happiest
time of her life. No bride in Rock Is
land before has been remembered more
handsomely in wedding tokens.
Mr. and Mrs Head left last evening
on an eastern wedding trip, to be gone
several weeks. Returning they will
reside at 1925 Seventh avenue and
will be at home after Dec. l. The
brides travelling dress was Of royal
