The sweet tooth seems to flourish In a hot climate. Children gnawing at pieces of sugar cane Is always a familiar sight tn tropical lands. Sometimes they get little else to eat. On a former trip to the tropics I had in my employ a little black by the name of Domingo, who ran errands for me. Necessarily I became quite familiar with the habits of my young assistant , I found that, aside from sleeping a great deal, he was quite an eater. H!b biouse was his larder, and he kept it well stocked with eatables, mostly sweets. If he were disturbed while eating he Would chuck the unfinished morsel inside his shirt to await a more favorable opportunity to consume It. Domingos tendency toward economy was commendable, even if his idea of cleanliness was not praiseworthy, l.iere was always a noticeable bulging tn his blouse, and I frequently heard a rattling sound as be moved about One day I said to him: 'Domingo, what Is that In your shirt which rattles so?" He replied: Thats my Ice cream dish, sir." It was a well battered tin cup, and, after some contortions, he brought forth a crooked, much abused metal For two cents I get this half spoon. full of cream, sir. It is very good. I did not May I bring you qome? avail myself of his generosity. Domingo la a soldier now. The salary he gets for uelng a fighting man . Dont Knock.

His warrant for the money was the skin of a lion, which he brought to town with him. The lion was killed on the Verde, near Fort McDowell, under unusual circumstances. The boy was riding along the river and saw the beast eating the carcass of a raccoon, which he had just killed. Demerbreaux was armed with a shotgun and he emptied both barrels into the lion, killing It instantly.

A baby alligator, caught In a swamp, was taken to the home of its captor In New York, and in course of time It would follow him about like a dog. What was even more curious was that It and the cat became great chums. When pussy slept before the fire the alligator used to lay Its head on the cat and go to sleep too. The only creature that excited the alligator was a fox chained in a yard. It did not try to bite the fox, but lashed it with its tail. Once, had the chain not broken, poor Reynard would have been beaten to death. The alligator was fed on raw flesh and milk, of which It was very fond.

In either case, says a writer in News, the way leads among the rughills of sunny Tennessee," ged through native forests which we may easily imagine look just as they did in the latter part of the eighteenth century, when Andrew Jackson, a young man who had Just completed a brief and very unsystematic course of "reading law, placed all bis worldly goods and himself on the'back of his one horse and turned his face from the Caroiinas. to the then wilderness of eastern Tennessee to make his fortune. The land records of 1794 7 show that it was dunng those years that Jackson laid the foundation for the large estate he afterward owned.
