No Profit in Alligators.
The difficulty about raising alliga
tors to supply tho demand for tho ani
mals and Bkins is that they do not
attain full growth for about 100 years.
The skin of the six or soven-year-old
animal, is available, however, for
many practical purposes. There is
one on' a farm at Palm Beach which
measures 18 feet in length and is said
to be about 900 years old. There aro
several of theso farms in operation at
tho present tlmo, but the industry will
not.be roally profitable until tho wild

My of her state. Mm. Elliott W.
Jor, wife tfca
newly elected gov
eraor of Ml8orl,
has not changed

and docs not In

jor, who was Miss
Elizabeth Mycra,
was borri on a
farm in Piko
county, tho near

ing Pralrlovlllo.
Sho has always
lived simply and
quietly, Bho says, and prefers that sort
of life to social gaycty.
It Is said Mrs. Major will establish a
now roglmo whoa sho moves into tho
executive mansion at Jefferson City.
She is expected to Introduce) a "homo"
,atmosphero into tho capltol's social
life and to dispel stiff formality. Hor
guests -will always bo mado to feel at
ihomo, and tho sparklo of smart fash
Ion will bo reduced to a minimum.
"I llko nbovo all things a plain, sim
ple, country life," she said, "and that
is tho kind of a lifo I always intend to
lead."
Mrs. Major is a handsomo and
charming womau and is noted for her ,
brilliancy as a conversationalist.
. Sho is tho mother of a married
'daughter, Mrs. John Sanderson of
jBowlIng Green, Mo., and of Elliott, Jr.,
'fourteen yearB old, and Elizabeth,
'twelve
Jefferson City Is agog over tho pros
pect of Mrs. Major's advent as tho
state's hostess. It has became known
; there that tho old-tlmo air of dignity
,that marked the social affairs at tho
governor's mansion aro doomed to go.
Mrs. Major received hor early edu
cation nt a "district school," which sho
attended with a number of other coun
try girls. When sho was twelve years
old, howover, her parents decided that
she should have better educational ad
vantages, and the family moved to
Bowling Green, Mo.
It was while nttfindlnir BP.hool thero
that she met Elliott W. Major, then a
law student and teaching a country
school. Sho fell in love with the seri-1
ous and ambitious young law student,
and when he proposed she gave up her
studies to marry him.
He was soon appointed principal of
the Frankford schools, which post he ,
held until ho entered the bar at Jeffer- J
son City. j
Mrs. Major is devoted to outdoor
lire and is raising her two younger
children in this manner.
"When I was a girl I liked horse
back riding better than any other
sport," she said, "and a great deal of
my time was passed in the saddle. Al
though I am a member of the Method
ist Episcopal church and am interest
ed in club work, I cannot devote much
time to them because my chief inter
est is my home. I place my home
above all else."

director. "Where did you get your

The director declined to reveal the
source of his information which
formed the basis of the charges of
incompetency. There was some par

to demand that detail charges be pre
ferred. Finally tho employee signed
his name to the form of resignation
which was placed before him. "You

RELIC OF DAVID LIVINGSTONE
Publisher Has Letter the Great Ex
plorer Wrote on Newspaper When'
In the Jungle.
An interesting relic of. Living
stone, the great explorer and mis
sionary, which will be on view at the
forthcoming centenary celebration
in London, is a letter written on a
copy of the Standard for November
24, 18C9
The fragment is in the possession
of Mr. Murray, the publisher, who
has a collection of Livingstone me
mentos. Tho explorer wrote his let
ter in the wilds of Africa after his
stock of ink had given out, but as a
substitute he made a colored liquid
from the juice of plants. Unfortu
nately it is, difficult to read the writ
ing after all these years, for it has
faded to a dull terra cotta.shade, and
in some places is, so pale as to be un
decipherable,
A curious point is that the frag
ment of the Standard on which the
letter is written contains an account
of Livingstone's work in Africa.
Over the printed: words Living-
stono traced his letter m the lonely
jungle. The letter is written in a
bold hand.
"Tho valleys into which tho water
is led," he says in the opening sen
tence, "are coverdd with a thick
sward of wiry, damp loving grass
and other aquatic plants up to. the
vergo of tho forest." Unfortunately
thifl sentence is practically tho only
one which can bo read with little
difficulty, and much is impossible to
read with the naked eye.
