MOVING DAY IN
JUNGLE TOWN

Atlanta, Ga, ov 20.-It took the
whole force of animal keepers at
Grant Park zoo to whip Old Man Pete
Alligator this morning when they de.
cided to move him from his comfort
able bed of mud at the foot of the
lake and establish him in winter quar-
tiers in the animal house.
The old fellow lost lot of energy
and several teeth trying to bite big
chunks out of a crowbar which the
chief keeper carefully substituted for
his own leg every time Pete made a
lunge at it, and Pete was finally sua-
dued and bound on a wagon bed
At the same time were captured with
lesser struggle the whole alligator
family, including three daughters,
Salome, Delilah and Jezebel, together
with three sons, Nebuchadnezzar, Doc
Cook and Harry K. Thaw, the latt ar
being so named, according to the pal k
humorist, because he is always trying
to get away and never does
Pete is a hefty alligator and manag-
ed to knock over a number of negro
helpers with swish of his tail, before
he was reduced to a state of bondage
A crowd of several hundred people
at safe distance watched the per-
Torrance with great glee. The alliga-
tors will be kept indoors until next
spring, when they will be put bacs
in their pool at the end Of the lake.

So said the late John Swinton 10
me at the time when he was the chief
of staff of Charles A. Dana, of the
New York Sun. Mr.. Swinton was
born in Scotland. He came to the
United States when he was a young
man and gained an excellent repu-
tation as a writer. In the later years
of his life he accepted as sound the
philosophy of Carl Marx, the Social
list, and was in fact disciple Of
Marx when he was serving under Mr..
Dana in the editorial offices of the
Sun. He did not, however, permit
his personal views upon social and
economical questions in any way 10
affect his Judgment or to tinge tho
editorial articles which he wrote.
II never dreamed" said Mr.. Swim
ton, "in the days when / used to
think with something like awe of a
salary of a hundred dollars~a week
to an editorial writer that I should
myself receive nearly twice that
amount But the fact Is that did
after some years secure honorarium
for editorial services which vas
nearly, but not quite, 5000 week.
The arrangements which 1 made
with Mr. Dana called for yearly
to draw 1t In that way.
81 saw. during my long service
under Mr.. Dana, many evidences OF
pre-eminent qualifications for the
great position he occupied in Amer
lean Journalism. One was the univer-
salty of mis- knowledge and his pro-
found conviction that there is no de-
partrnent of knowledge which cannot
be made at one time or another OF
great service to a journalist.
Another characteristic of Mr.. Dana
which l often observed was his cor
dial recognition of something pro-
foundly believed in, namely, that the
laborer is always worthy of his hire;
or. TN other words the man who
works should receive what his work
is worth. Mr.. Dana was exceedingly
economical, and in little things some
times almost penurious, but his theory
was that in the greater affairs or
Journalism the true economy usually
involved the payment of large
amounts OF money.
sit may be because am little
vain, or properly proud. that one OF
the characteristics which especially
appealed to me was brought out at a
time when he was somewhat criti-
cized for paying me the salary that
he did.
ale was asked IL 1t were true that
he was paying John Swinton nearly
ten thousand dollars a year, and he
replied that 1t was. He was asked
what time Mr.. Swinton came to the
Sun office and he replied about 4
O'Clock In the afternoon and stayed
there until the paper went to press

SdhncTih0 olSpneuS ID a EOOu SA-
ponent of the theory that genius
however hidden will show itself, for
there was nothing in her early life
to induce her to a musical career.
She was the daughter of an unpre-
tentious carver and glider in London,
but at Is her voice was SO remark
ably developed that she made her
debut as full-fiedged singer.
In appearance this star of the early
nineteenth century was rather above
average size and was. to quote one
of her admir!ng contemporaries, Sin
elined to embonpoint" All her critics
seem to agree that hers was the
sweetest soprano voice of the period,
although accused of lacking passion
in oratorio and opera. In acting she
possessed a natural. simple style, de-
void of any of the studied man
nerisms of the stage, and Leigh
Hunt, the poet, says of her, that the
graceful awkwardness and naivete
of her manner was more captivating
than the most polished elegance"
