San Francisco.-The peregr1nations
of pet alligator have caused the
town trustees of Mill Valley to con-
slider the adv1sability of passing an
alligator muzzling ordinance.
DR.. s. L. Higgins of that town has
an alligator that Is affected with wan
derlust, and each time the animal Jour-
neys from its home women and chill
dren in the neighborhood become
greatly agitated.
The cavernous-faced reptile. how
ever, has committed no more serious
ofense so far than attempting to be
friendly with those met on his wan
derings, but the attention of the truss
tees has been called to the facs that
the bite of an alligator might be dam
gerous, and DR.. Higgins has been re-
quested to muzzle his pet or provide
the animal with an Oregon boot"
DR.. Higgins informed one OF the
trustees that he would willingly muz-

Wall started to work for Armour &
Co. in 1879.
The fund which permits Wall to re-
tire was created for the benefit of sal

age of from fffty-seven to sixty-hve
years and who have been twenty
years or more in the service Of the
company. Women may be retired at
fifty years of age after having served

LOOKING to the Inevitable.

Seventy-nine years old, but with no
thought Of dying for years, a South
Brooklyn retired windmill dealer spent
his recent birthday in. Cleveland, O.,
looking for a bargain in collins. He
said he never had cared much for
show and thought he would care less
when dead, SO he wanted something
that would be durable, not fancy. THE
undertakers wanted more than $100
for good coffins," he told friend,
none of which looked to be worth
more than $50. For s25 found
could get one that looked as if it
might have cost $3.50 to make. You
don't suppose l could get good sec
ond-hand one anywhere, do you?" The
man did not invest, but decided he
would wait awhile and see if the high
cost Of dying might not be reduced.

REAL MISTRESS OF HOUSE
In olden Days, Among Other Accom-
piishments, Woman Was Required
to Be Expert Carver.

In the matter Of old-time etiquette
at the table one recalls the part
played by the lady of the household
In the eighteenth century she was
mistress of the ceremonies-she carv,
ed and she dealt the while her lord
merely pushed" the bottle
She was also the menu, for if she
gave dinner of several courses it
was her duty to announce to the
guests, seated expectantly, what was
due to appear at table A dinner OF
one course and she remarked that
they saw their dinner"
Then her powers of gentle persua-
sion came into play A guest when
he had stuffed sufficiently placed the
handles of his knife and fork into his
plate, and the sight Of knife in posi-
tion was the signal for the hostess to
inquire "if he would please to have
something more
In the art of carving, of course,
the mistress of any country house
was a past mistress. One recalls Lady
Mary Montagu's flight after perfec-
tion under the wing of a professional
carving master. "She took three les
sons a week, that she might be per-
feet on her fathers public days; when,
in order to perform her functions
without interruptions. she was forced
to eat her own dinner alone an hour
or SO beforehand"

HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close
~ the physical peculiarities of her
children, soon learns that health is in
a great measure dependent upon nor
NAL. healthy, regular bowel action.
When the bowels are inactive, loss of
appetite, restlessness during sleep, ir-
ritability and dozen and one similar
evidences Of physical disorder are soon
apparent.
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health is assured. At the first
sign of constipation give the child a
teaspoonful of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, If necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover it's accustomed good spirits, and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and
purgatiye waters which are harsh in
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively. and causes no gripping or
discomfort. It's tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell DR., Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and s10O
bottles. II you have never tried this
remedy. send for a sample to DR.. w.
B. Caldwell, POI Washington ST., Mon
ticello, Ill. He will gladly send a
trial bottle without any expense to
you whatever.

Looking Forward.

The husband and wife were making
call on friends one evening. The
wife was talking.
Il think we shall have Marian take
a domestic science course along with
her music and regular studies when
at college"
'Ah," said a man present, who had
been a stranger until that evening,
you look rather young to have a
daughter ready for college"
"G!" said the mother, naively, "she
isn't old enough now; she is just eight
months old, but I do so like to look

OSTRICH HARD TO BREAK
London Zoo Plans to Make as Many
Exhibits" as Possible to
Amuse Public.

London-All of the animals at the
Regents Park zoo are not merely
ornamental and the directors are add
ing to the working force by breaking
in several ostrichs and llamas to ride
and drive. The best workers are the
elephants and camels, which not only
provide favorite mounts for the chill
dren visitors, but are used about the
park for hauling supplies and provid-
ing motive power for lawn mowers.
The ostrict trainers have been hav-
ing exciting times with the three birds
which they are breaking to the saddle.

A bucking broncho is a rocking chair
compared to one of the birds In an OBJ
streperous mood, and several Of the
riders have not only suffered the hui
initiation of being thrown, but have
been kicked by their mounts before
they could regain their feet.
The woolly llama proved to be as
gentle as he looks, and the odd-appear-
ing animal Is kept busy every day
pulling a pony cart loaded with chill
dren about the park.
The white alpaca recently presented
to the zoo is now being trained to re-
lieve the llama Of some of his passen-
gers, and he takes to the training SO
kindly that he will soon be trusted
with a load of youngsters.

Johnny Wall Retires After 33
Years Work.
Champion Cattle Driver for Armour
and Company Quits on $1,000 a
Year for Life After Long
Service.

Chicago.-Johnny Wall. the Oldest
cattle buyer in the stock yards, ap-
peared at the offices Of Armour &
CO., and was notified that he was one
Of the first men to receive the bene-
fits Of the pension fund to which j.
Ogden Armour contributed $1,000,000.
Johnny, you can go home now and
You needn't push any more steers, be-
cause the trustees of Armour & Co.
have pensioned you off at $1,000 year
for the rest of your life," said John
Brown, the head cattle buyer, to Wall.
For few minutes Wall, who had
faithfully served his employers for 33
years, stood silent.
Tears began to stream down his
cheeks.
I don't like to give up work." he
said.
He looked toward the rows of pens
in the stock yards through which he
had tramped for nearly two-score
years, and as he pointed his old hick-
ory cane, the veteran cattle buyer
said:
I remember when we had but a
few pens in the yards, but the COM
mercial world has moved so fast that
! suppose I'll have to give up for
younger blood"
Wall earned the title of champion
eow puncher many years ago. One
day herder employed by Swift & Co.
claimed the title after he had driven
single herd Of 1,100 cattle to their
death A few weeks after that. how
ever, Armour & Co. bought up a herd
Of 1880 steers. Wall drove them to
slaughter and the record has never
been eQualed
