GATOR KILLED 30 PERSONS
After TerrorlzIna Two Villages Enor'
nous Beast Was Finally Cap
tured by Whites.

With other white companions have
often plunged into the waters OF the
Tuyra, a fairly large river which flows
into the Gulf OF Panama after having
traversed immense stretches Of i'm
penetrable forests. Regularly a score
or so Of alligators assisted at our
gambols, at a distance Of thirty to
forty yards, and we came to look upon
them as quite harmless.
After an absence of two years re-
turned, and in two neighboring vii
lagos found the inhabitants terrified.
No one dared to go near the river at
nightfall; no one ventured, even In
broad daylight, to cross the stream in
the narrow canoes which are used by
the natives to carry bananas and veg
etables from their plantations.
The cause Of this terror, ! discov.
cred, was an alligator that had de.
voured 30 persons in less than two
months, surprising some on the river
bank, and literally swapping others
out of their canoes. Thirty people
and the two villages together only
numbered $50 souls!
After a series Of fruitless attempts
we ended in capturing the brute with
a baited hook-an enormous AFFAIR, to
which was fastened half a pig! The
creature was close on "a feet long.
He was SO old that seaweed and
moses were growing between his
scales, and he presented the appear.
ance Of a tree trunk that had been
a long time submerged. He was, we
estimated, more than one hundred
years old.-Paul Drevy, in the Wide
World Magazine.

The site chosen is the summit OF a

NEW ARMY STYLES.
Saturday Evening Post)

(Saturday Evening Post)
 New kinds of clothes are being in- vented in great number for the armies in European trencnes. Some are likely to prove their worth and become s,and- ard clothes for outdoor wear in the future. The most novel Is a French device of knit goods, which may be adapted for a dozen uses, from waist band or trousers to a head covering for protection in cold winds. ..
 It Is simply a long and rather mar row strip of knit goods, with a slot a few inches long at the exact center. On half of each edge of the strip are sewed buttons, and on the other half of each edge are buttonholes. AS the goods easily stretches, and as any edge will bottom to any other a surprising number of combinations Is possible. ..
 An English garment that is being supplied to many officers at the front Is a rubber coat, which Is fur lined. A queer sleeping bag, of rather limited use before the war, has been much h demand among the English forces, be, cause 1t does not interfere with quick action In case of a night attack by the
