A VALUABLE MEMBER.
W.vv
Ey'
In the voluntary retirement of Mr.
J. S. Anderson from active member-
ahip on the school board of the city
schools. Orange loses a faithful
tireless- and zealous worker in the
cause of education. Extending back
over a period of well nigh a qarter of
a century he is thoroughly acquainted
with all the needs and conditions of
our schools. It is to be hoped that
although Mr. Anderson has seen fit
to retire from active service In the
schools he will still remain with us
In spirit and influence It will be per-
haps a long time before anyone will
be found that will take and fill his
place so faithfully and well, and with
so much satisfaction to all.

CapL Davis, the Jailer, feels a par-
donable pride in his 108 little alliga-
tor pets, that are now confined in a
large tank or vat in the Jail yard.
“What would you take for one of those
, little ’gators ’bout six Inches long,
■ Captain,” queried the reporter. "I
would like to take one home to my
children.” "Two dollars” said the
Captain. The reporter fell dead, but
finally came to, and remarked that he
believed he would quit the newspaper
business and go into the alligator
business.” ‘
“That all right” said Capt. Davis,
"and you would get mighty tired of
your Job.”
“Will they bite; Is there any danger
In them,” continued the reporter.
"Of course they will bite, and when
they get grown they will eat you if
they are hungry.
*"In 1860 a little girl was gathering
flowers oh the .bank of Sabine lake.
Unconscious of danger she picked the
morning flowers and sang her little
song.-Suddenly there was a swish of
water and she disappeared under the
waters of the lake A general search
was Instituted. The margin and
shallow places of the lake were drag-
ged, and finally an alligator was
caught. When cut open one arm of
the little girl was found, and It was
ascertained beyond doubt that It had
caught and devoured the little girl.”
. Several years after this occurrence
Jack Ingram and some friends were
One night the rafts were tied up and
the occupants having flved their mos-
quito bars went to sleep.
During the night Jack was awaken-
ed by something hurting his head,
and he discovered to his horor that a
large alligator had actually crawled
out o^ the water upon the raft and
caught his head in its mouth A gen-
eral scramble ensued, the alligator
got entangled in the mosquito bars,
and was beaten with sticks by the
men on board. However it got away.
Till his dying day Jack Ingram car-
ried the marks of the alligator bite
on his head*, .
And still later than this a negro
who had camped on the banks of Tay-
lor’s Bayou, was attacked in the
night by an alligator that crawled out
of the water and undertook to puli the
darkey into the river. The negro got
away by vigorous yelling and knoqk
ing. ■*
The alligator when taken very
young like those I have can be easily
tamed and will get so it will follow
children around over the place like a
dog or cat.

with 400 victims; at Nice, in 1880,

Anthracite States.
Pennsylvania, Colorado and New
Mexico are the only states that pro-
duce anthracite. Pennsylvania, how-
ever, produces practically all of the
anthracite; of the total production of
41,000,000 tons in 1902, Colorado and
New Mexico produced less than 95,-
000 tons. In the production of bi-
tuminous coal Pennsylvania also leads,
producing 40 per cent of the total for
the United States in 1902. Illinois
ranks second, Ohio third, West Vir-
ginia fourth and Alabama fifth.
No escapes frem fire and the un-
loaded gun continues to get in their

mosquito after all: When he presents

The Garden of India.
Baroda Is called "The Garden of
India.” It occupies a fine plain with
rich alluvial soil, well watered, and al-
most entirely under cultivation. It
produces luxurious crops of grain,
cotton, sugar, tobacco and other
staples, add the greater part of them
are turned from raw material into the
finished product in factories scattered
throughout the state.
Its up to us to see that Congress-

for begging or dead-beating in Louisi-

Commercial Exports.
The German empire has appointed
commercial experts at St. Petersburg,
New York, Buenos Ayres, Valparaiso,
Shanghai. Sydney, New South Wales,
Pretoria and Constantinople, Doubt-
less the number of experts will be in-

Mr. George 0. Zillgitt of Inglewood,
England, owns a carriage mare with

Derivation of Panama.
It is supposed by some that Pana-
ma derived Its name from the native
word for butterfly. Explores of the
Interior tell of swarms of butterflies,
which at times rise on slopes of the
mountains In dense clouds, darken-
ing the sunshine. Others maintain
that the ncme is from an Indian word,
meaning abounding in fish.
What Sizes Mean.
Pew persons know what la meant by
‘‘size’’ in the matter, of coats, shoes,
etc.
A size in a coat is an inch.
In underwear it i* two Inches.
In socks, one inch is meant.
In a collar, a size is half an inch.
In gloves, one-quarter of an incl.
In hats, one-eighth of an inch.
Land Surveying.
The art of land surveying owes its
origin to the fact tbat the Egyptians
were unable to keep permanent monu-
ments on land which was overflowed
every year by the hhle. Under such
circumstances it became necessary to
have some mean* of reidentifying the
various pieces of land. The instru-
ments and mathematical methods of
astronomy, with suitable modifica-
tions, were used by the Egyptians for
land surveying.
P.-lxea for Servants.
A London employment agent, to en-
courage her clients to give satisfac-
tion to their employers, says she will
present a gold watch to any servant
engaged from her agency who re
mains in the same situation five
years; a silver watch to any girl whtj^
keeps her situation for two years
and a brooch to those who have
served in the same house for one
year.
Great Turtle.
When Mauritius was ceded to Great
Britain in 1810 there was a gigantic
turtle in a court at the artillery bar-
racks at Port Louis which is still
there, although almost blind. It
weighs 330 pounds, and stands 2 feet
high when walking. Its shell is 8%
feet long, and it can carry two men on
its back with ease.
Strength of Pine Wood.
Calculation confirmed by experiment
has shown that, weight for weight,
pine wood is stronger than steel in
both transverse and tensile strength.
It is regarded as doubtful if .any metal
could be made into a hollow rod
equaling it in weight In structures of
wood the weak points are always at
the Joints.
Chinese Eastern Railway.
The Chinese Eastern railway, the
southeastern terminus of the great Si-
berian railway, In Its course through
Manchuria to Its end, at Port Ar-
thur, passes through 1,000 miles of
sh continuously rich agricultural
country as can be found anywhere in
the world. Every acre Uncultivated.
Real Self-Denial.
A bride in Korea begins her mar-
ried life in silence. During the first
day she must not speak, even to her
husband, it is considered a breach
of etiquette. But the next morning
she is permitted to give free rein to
her tongue, and may talk thereafter
tocher heart’s content.

“So you want to be my son-in-law,

“Can’t say that I do,” replied the
