An alligator two and" one-half feet in length was captured in the river at the street bridge yesterday, after Policemen Daniel McCarthy had fired four shots at It from his revolver and James Burke, a bridge Iron worker, had fallen Into the river in his endeavors to capture the animal. Shortly after noon Burke- and McCarthy were crossing the river to get shelter In a small shanty at the east side of the stream. "What's the matter with me?" almost shouted) Burke.

"What are you talking about? began McCarthy at the same time, seeing the alligator Swimming about In the river. I've got them, too." The two men watched the animal swimming about for a moment, and both agreed that It must be the! real thing." McCarthy drew his revolver and tried four times to hit the little beast, but missed. Then Burke made a noose with a piece of heavy twine, leaned far out over the water. As Burke tried to slip the noose over the head he slipped and fell head foremost into the river.

Koblnson on proceeding's being brought by Prosecuting Attorney Bowers to prevent him To the observant gardener all nature seems kindly.

Make garden always when faith Is low and optimism seems the cheerfulness of fools. "When getting the window boxes and garden urns ready use good, fresh soil. Nothing is gained, and much may be lost, by economizing in the matter of earth. There Is an lpomoea, sometimes catalogued as a cypress vine, which has foliage like that of the English try. This vlns bears blossoms of bright orange tinted with scarlet, and is admirable for porch or garden use.

The peonies make June lovely. A peony hedge or clump Is a sight to remember. The present time, too, is the best time to remember it; next year, in the blooming season, it will be too late to do anything but order roots for still another summer. Use a fine spray in watering the flowers. A hard, sharp stream works much mischief, and heavy drops are not good for delicate blossoms.

The leaves should never be sprayed In briet sunshine, nor should the roots be too heavily drenched. If the tiny blue forget-me-not seems weak or uncertain, supplement the plants already owned with new ones. One would not miss the loveliness of this sweet blue blossom, and there are seasons when It is difficult to make old plants thrive. The sweet alyssum, by this time, should be strong, stocky." and six inches high. If allowed to grow and wander at will it will acquire an untidy, straggling habit.

Cut back two inches from the roots, and it will develop Into a thick, sturdy mass of white sweetness, and will blossom until' late in the fall. Scarlet and while geraniums, planted together, should be so pruned and trimmed as to maintain the color lines and contrasts These plants are sometimes inclined to be willful, but will yield to the will of the gardener when they must. Keep the blossoms picked continually if prolonged blooming is desired. Asters need a sunny location. Many varieties do not bloom until the sunshine has lost some of its power and fervid heat.

Transplant the young arters to a locality where they can have suitable cu'ture. and the red, white, pink, purple, and yellowish blossoms will provide a glory of color pa Ui almost tlmie for frost. Jollet. 111.. July 7.
