One X; Alligator That Caught About a jllllonaMore or Less, at a Time. "Tfhfl his alligator in our menagerie." {be old sirens man said, "didn’t always take his fsgd very well. Somatimes he wouldn't opera his mouth at feeding time. and than me had to resort to time, anti then :re nan to resort. w strategy. Alligators are very senrsi- tive about the nose. When this alliâ€" gator wouldn’t open his gouth we used to rub the top of his nose very gently. Tihat always made him :ead. and he’d throw back his upper jaw like a cellar door on hinges. Then we'd throw a. chunk of beef, maybe five pounds or so, down his throat, and down would come the cellar door shut againw and he would swallow the. beef. In that way we used to give him about twenty-five pounds of beef at a feedâ€" ing without much difficulty. ‘The old alligator was very fond of flies. You might think a fly would be pretty small game for a twelveâ€"foot alligator, and one fly would be; but this old alligator would throw his up- per jaw back and go to sleep. appar- ently. Flies would light around inside Hm alligarnr'q mouth just the same en’tly. Flies would ligh‘t arounu msme the alligaior'e mouth just the some as they would anywhere outdoors. and when there was about a million there the alligator would shut his upper jaw down with the [lies all inside. Pretty soon he'd throw the cellar hack and set the trap again. "I've often ilmught that alligators would make good fly traps for houses. Of course you'd vmnt to keep any small children there might be in the house away from them, but if you looked out for that I should think they'd be great. I should say that about [our twelve-foot alligators could keep a moderate-sized house free of flies all summer wirtihout the slightest trouble." This is always the case when Nerviâ€" line is applied to any kind of pain; it is sure to disappear as if by magic. Stronger. more penetrating andquiokâ€" er in action than any other remedy in the warld, pain cannot stay where it is used. It is just the thing to have in the house to meet a sudden attack of illness. Dodd‘s Kidney l’llls Ac! “pen the Female Organs as Well as Upon nae Kidneys- Many a Woman Suflers Needlculy.
