Joe, a 10-foot alligator, was added to tho collection at tho Bronx Zoo, and his entry into society in the rep tile house was a rather strenuous af fair. Joe conies from Florida. Joe arrived in a long, strong wooden box at an express office in Fordham. Two mont went to the express office and took the box to the zoo, depositing it just outside the reptile house, where Head Keeper Billy Snyder and six men nrmed with short poles were waiting his coming. One end of the crate was broken open, and Joe pushed his 10 feet of length through the opening. Ho blinked In the strong light and yawn ed lazily as he took his first look about his new home. "Ho's a friendly looking critter," ' said Snyder, as he dropped ono ond of a noose^ about the alligator's long Jaws. In an instant lazy Joe came to Ufo. Snap went his Jaws, the noose was caught, und the line jerk ed from Snyder's hands. In a second Joe was 10 feet of chained lightning. Not one of the men seemed surprised. They only stood their ground. Only the husky looking walrus, which had been pressing against the bars of its lncloBure a few feet away, grunted \ with surprise and moved back. i "Well, he's healthy, anyway," said Keeper Snyder. Again Snyder threw his noose, and this time the rope encircled the alli gator's jaws. He quickly drew it tight. Joe did not like it. He ex pressed his resentment by shaking his head and tail. His tail struck a pole held by one of the men, and it hurtled through the air, landing on the lawn 20 feet away. The alligator, flirting tall and head, moved forward. The men moved with it, and by a series of deft prod ding steered lt In the direction of the ' door of the reptile house. Joe kept to the course, though a dent on the j doorway is evidence of his anger. It i jk the combined skill and diplo macy of all to get the big reptile to head to the right toward Ita home at the end of the building. j "Look out," said Snyder, as Joe turned In a circle, lils tall going like, a flail. One man saved himself by a | quick jump. They had handled worse than Joe too long to be afraid. They were all Interested in what Joe was j going to do next. Slowly they head ed the alligator toward lils quarters, j Near thc entrance he lashed out wlt> ; his head and struck the partition wall, tearing a hole through the lath , and plaster. This was lils final pro test. The work of getting the rope off his jaws was a task which required the skill of Keeper Snyder. The rope was passed over an upright, and, ' keeping out of the way of the sweep ing tall, he pulled its head up so that the fore part of the body was lifted from the ground. With a sharp knife he severed the lashing and jumped back In time to miss the tall. "That's a good job well done," said Pete, ono of the keepers. "Stop," said Snyder. "Even thc ? snakes are hissing."

J. J. Sea8e, of Newberry county, R. P. D. 3, has a blind bridle that was picked up by bim and his father, D. E. Sease, at "Hayden's Camp,' on Stoudemlro Hill, near Peak, In the early spring of 1865-left there by a detachment of Sherman's army. This bridle has been in use ever since that day; it was on one of Mr. Sease's mules in town on Saturday, and is a good bridle yet. Of course it has had new bits and has been otherwise re paired, but the blinds and other parts are the same as in 1865. Mr. Sease also has a riding bridle that was made by his father in 1865. His father tanned the leather and made the bit-a light curb blt of sprlug steel. This is a good bridle yet. Ho also has a pair of breechlngs that were made three years after tho war by a Mr. Hammond, of Columbia, out of leather tanned by Mr. Sease's father. They are in good condition and are in constant use; they were on two ot Mr. Sease's mules in town on Saturday. One reason why these things have lasted so long is that they were well made, out of good material. Another reason ls that they have been well cared for. Methodists Demand Prohibition. Augusta, Ca., Nov. 17.-Ringing resolutions on temp?rance and State wide prohibition were read by Rev. Ii. M. Du Bose, D. D., to-day and unanimously and enthusiastically passed by the conference. The resolutions declare that the Methodist church, forever and strongly, stand for temperance and the absolute prohibition of the manu facture and sale of all intoxicants as a beverage. They recited that the church must work to stop the orgy of lawlessness that shame so many parts of the Uni ted States, the perjury of juries and the prostitution of courts. By these things respect of all law has been shaken, and unless laws are enforced, so the resolutions declare, anarchy, disorder and moral darkness will come on the land. The Travail of Grouch. (By J.

She burns ef lt's dry an' she rots ef it's wet, Till it's jest, one continual fight, An' they ain't any weather they'vi diskivered yet Thet ever jest suited him quite. 01' Crouch is afeard of we have a wo spring Thet he can't git his seed In th" field; An' if she's too dry it won't sprout anything, An' he wno't git no average yield. Et" th' fall sh'd turn wet graln'll rot in th' stack, Er mildew, or else porty near; An' ef th' fall's dry then his chance is slack i Ker getitn' a big crop next year. Ol' Grouch says when weather Is good fer tb" corn Thet it's knockin' th' tar outen wheat. An' he says thet no feller was ever yet born Who's got this mixed farmln' game beat.
