His specialty Is In furnishing baby alli gators to the Northern trade, though he also catches adult alligators and sells their teeth and skins. It Is Bald that be employs several hundred alli gator catchers, nnd has mado a fortuno out of his hotel business. Ills favorite pastime Is to watch alli gators cat dogs and cats that ho has thrown into the water to feed them. During tho winter he secures hundreds of worthless curs and screaming cats nnd In the spring he drives tho canine nud felines down to his alligator ranch lu tho everglades, where he amuses himself with nlllgntor-back riding. He Is an alligator charmer nnd tamer, and is the ouly man In Florldn thnt would dnrc mount the bnck of nn old nlllgator In the water. When ho wants to ride he throws his nlllgator muzzlo over the head of an nlllgator and Jumps on tho monster's back. The alligator cannot reach the Intrepid rider with his tall, nnd bis mouth Is muzzled. "Wild Jim's" wiry legs are entwined around the forelegs of the nlllgator, while the nlllgator dives nnd swims nud lashes his tall, trying to be free. When Jim gets tired he makes the alli gators jnvlm to the shore, where be Jumps off nnd dispatches It.
