SaIome Hard to Catch.
When Boyd got around to Salome
however there was a bit of a diver
sion. Salome is something of con-
tortionist. and was hard to catch. A
happy negro-he was happy because
he was not working and everybody
else was-leaned over the fence and
ventured to proffer a little advice.
Boyd cornered the elusive Salome,
and grabbed her by the tail
Oats de way, boss!" cried the ne
gro, Oats de way. Now fling 'im."
And Boyd flung her. He flung her
so hard that Salomo struck the ne
gro in the chest, and slid down to his
legs
Negro Flees in Panic.
1t happened quickly. Two or three
kicks, many screams and supplica
tions. a swishing sound. and the place
where both negro and gator had
scrambled held nothing but the alliga-
tor. Nobody saw the negro go, but
everybody knew he was gone, be-
cause the wind he raised stirred the
leaves. even in the tOpmost branches.
HE did not return.
Salome was hustled up the hill into
the animal house, and then came Old
Man Pete's turn. The old alligator
reared on the bank, his wrath sput-
tering from him in venomous spurts
of steam, his jaws extending and his
throat looking like an autumn sunset
Boyd got stout rope and advanced
upon the big reptile, and Pete got 1t
around the neck
Pete yelled for time out with all
his lungs, but Boyd started to drag
him out of the ring, and did it, Pete
digging his claws into the mud
one moment and the next trying to
overtake mis- enemy.
Alligator Loses Teeth.
A little platform on wheels was
waiting at the gate to haul Pete in
sloriously away to his winter home.
Eoyd tried to drag Pete up on the
platform and Pete seized the iron
bed of the platform in his jaws. He
tried to turn over and wrench the
platform oef-the alligator's method
of fighting being to grab a thing and
then, by twisting his back, wrench
it off-but all he did was to lose a
bunch of teeth.
He snapped at everything and
everybody: he got a broomstick in his
jaws and made it look Ikea willow
plume, and he even went so far as
to bite a small piece of iron out of the
wagon-at a cost of several more
teeth.
Pete finally was harnessed with
some more ropes and hauled onto
the platform. He was all cluttered
up with his bonds and as an added
precaution they slipped a rope be-
tween his jaws and pried them open
But they forgot his tailor at least
one negro did. The son of Ham
grabbed the broomstick. and stood
carelessly and proudly beside the al
ligator.
Then Pete awoke to his opportun-
itY. There was swish as the power
full tail swung around-and Ethiopia
fell. Pete went wild but was sub
dued with more ropes, and then he
was hauled away to his new home.
The alligators will be kept in Sc
clusion in the animal house until next
spring, when they will be put back
in the pool. The turtles will remain
in the pool all winter as cold weather
does not injure them

P|NCH0T WARNS
AGAINST WATER
POWER TRUST
Concentration Of Control oil
UndeveIoped Property Shows
Alarming Increase, He Says.

WASHINGTON. Nov. ia sharp
note of warning against the concen-
tratlon of the control of water power
was sounded to-day by former Fed
eral Forester Clifford Pinchot before
the National Conservation Congress.
He said
In the last five years the concen-
uatloh OF control in the ten greatest
groups mas increased about seven
tlmes faster than the total of all
water power development in tha
United States. The ten greatest
groups have Increased their control
or undeveioped power In the last two
years more than twice as fast as their
control of developed power. In ten
states one company, and in seven
states two companies, control from AZ
10 20 per cent of all the DEVELOPED
commercial water power, and in IF
teen or these sovereign States evefy
one or these companies was organ
lzed or reorganized within the las
three years
II this is not a monopoly in the
making, where can it be shown? Com
merc1al power to this degree is politi-
cal power, and there lies the greatest
danger.
1T is argued chat concentration of
water power control is increasing
faster than power development be-
cause high risks and low returns keen
capital away. But according to the
hsures published by one Of the ten
greatest groups of power interests, IN
the past ten years the net earnings
OF gas and electric companies Of the
United States have never fallen he
low 30 against 4.25 per cent for rail-
roads and 7.79 per cent for industrial
corporations.

able incentive to youthful -tudents
and a blessing to employers?
This idea was propounded to me
the other day by one of Boston's
leading business men, William f.
Fitzgerald, who has not permitted a
multiplicity of financial and COM
mercial affairs to squeeze all the milk
of human kindness from his heart.
Here is the kernel of Mr.. Fitzgerald s
proposal:
The great majority of boys have
to leave school as soon as they
finish their primary training.
They must find work. They must
contribute to the family purse.
If instead of awarding money
prizes, books, etc, to the pupils
standing highest in their classes,
arrangements could be made to
offer them-say, the five best
scholars in each school-attrac-
tive situations in big business or
CARNATIONS. both the boys and the
companies would be diztinctly
benefited.
The plan would stimulate study
would induce parents to take a
more practical interest in the
progress being made by their sons
and would tend to increase bust
ness efficiency
Mr.. Fitzgerald assures me that
large numbers of business men have
given his suggestion their most cor
dial approval and have expressed
their willingness to join any sys-
tematized movement along the lines
indicated.
Can not the plan be put in practice
at least in modest way without
great trouble or delay?
Certain New York manufacturers
recently completed arrangements to
provide supplementary education
free of cost to numbers of their
workers. Various financial. railroad
and industrial concerns are also doing
noble work in supplying appropriate
education for their employees through
day and evening classes. All this
shows that the right spirit is already
taking possession of enlightened en-
plOyers.
But there is a gap between the
outside of the school door and the
inside of the business establishment
To bridge this gap for the most
worthy of those who have to get
over it is the object aimed at by Mr.
Fitzgerald.
These of us who have undergone
the stern experience OF striving -
bridge it unaded-and only such, |
believe-can fully realize the value
of the plan outlined. What an in
centive to effort the prospect of hon
orable entrance into a business house
of high standing! What a source of
pride to poor people to have their
son walk out of school to be well
coined by a humane employer who
would see to it that their boy got a
fair chance to start life! What an
inspiration to get so promising foot
hold on the first rung of the high
stepladder of success,
