ALLIGATOR HARD TO KILL.

An alligator's tenacity of life is
remarkable. Il remember one time"
says an English traveller in India, 81
was with a shooting party on the
Ganges, when the natives brought in
a six-foot alligator They hoped some
one would want to buy it; but no
one did, so it was determined to kill
the creature. 1t was hauled out of
the tank and tied to a tree. Bullets
from a small rifle or an ordinary p
bore gun seemed to only irritate the
saurian, and he did not seem to care
very much when a native thrust a
spear down his throat. Finally they
were obliged to get axes and chop
off its head. Even then the tail
thrashed around, and the body was
almost cut to pieces before all move
ment ceased"

DIGNITY OF PUBLIC OFFICE
Glossary Of Words Used In Ordinary
Debate by New York Law
makers.

For the benefit of the large num-
Der of students of parliamentary
practice, senatorial procedure and all
the dignifed details of lawmaking
as conducted in this state, we have
collected from various reports of the
recent debate in the state senate over
the highway bill the following gloss
airy of words useful in orderly dis
cussion: Snake, hyena, swine, bull,
squealer, welcher, liar, thief, hog,
mug, swill, fipfap.
For the purposes of accuracy it
should be noted that the "hog" was
Blind" the bull "red-eyed" and
that ''black perfdy" was honored by
distinguished mention. Nor should
there be the slightest suggestion Of
any partisan or geographical SUI
periority in vocabulary. Saratoga
and the Bowery divided the honors.
Such debates as this permit pa
triotic people to behold in its proper
setting the true and inherent dignity
which public office bestows upon all
those who, even for the briefest time,
occupy it--New York Sun.

At the suggestion Of the swindlers
Snyder took two Of the diamonds to

him $3.50 upon them. Snyder has

Snyder had carried information 10

from his hand and moved as though
determined to depart.
Snyder, fearing to lose the chance
to buy the diamonds, hastily bor-

him six glittering pieces of glass. 1t
was not long after their departure
that Snyder discovered that he had
