"Dan Heard, there Is no tonic that

The Alligator's Tongue.
On one occnslou when traveling
along tho west coast of Africa with an
old skipper who had kuowu many
missionaries, but "did uot see the uso
of them." Bishop Taylor-Smith was
obliged to endure a string of taunting
questions, such as "What was tho
rood of spouting at Exeter hall?" and
"What did tulsslonariea know, any
way r
At last the bishop could stand it no
longer. Turning to the skipper, ho
said: "I know you are an expert Can
you tell me tho length of an alligator's
tongue?"
"Certainly." was the reply, "but it
depends on the length of the alligator."
"Very well, then; given an alligator
fifteen feet long, what would be tho
length of Its tongue?"
"Three feet" was the answer.
But the bishop, who had kept alli
gators and watched their ways, knew
better, "it Is evident that you arc nn
authority on the west coast of Africa."
ho said, "but it Is also evident that
some people see more In ten minutes '
than others In twenty years. Lot mo
tell you that an alligator has no
tongue."
