Now, seS |, Kernel, don't care blue
postage stamp for all the great men in the
world. A little plain mother wit have
always found better than stack Of book
larnin, an ef any on will jest take un the
niger race an study it out practically,
they will see that it has alters been the
same uncivi ICED, heathin p. ople when
hite folks did not have control Of EN-.
You send EN- to Centrii America an in Il
gineration or SO they will be again eatin
lizards aud worShipping snakes, as they
30 in Africa now
SEES |, Kernel, there's NO peepul in the
world so likely to lead you aStrny as edo
Gated peepul. They are all mad as March
harcS on this Niger qnest>hin, jest as they
were in old Cotton Mather's time on witch

any Il ore wit or common sense than other
folks, they try to make You believe they
have, an will talk high furlutin words jest
to frighten you if they kin, They trid
that on the old Ginneral in the days of the

One night he staid till almost mornln talk
in an tnkin. scoldin little an pa,averin
1 good deal more. The old Ginneral didn't
say much, only once in a while putin in
1u,stShin. Finally Huffman got reddy

Ginnrral pushed His >pectaci,S up on his

an jumpin out oi us cheer walked across

Bank Of Bidc'S, by the Eternal! Ion
see the old Ginneral couldn't hold n candil
to Huffman, as far as farming an talk went,
but he had the genuine common SruSr TINT
seen rit through the hull subject. So, |
tell you, Kennel, don't Put v,ur Trust IN
eIccateI p"rpul. Ef the hu.l NO ii thr H.
that you kin make white man cut OF a
Niger it only shows that the hull void
is made up of fools
Wal, SIS Linkin, that all may he very
true. but you see, Mnjrr, I've got these
comfy band> ON NY hands and I've got to
fist. or cut bait We've only got few
thousand Tree now, and the pcepul il the
North are il arns to murder 'rln ui | send
any more there. | shall soon nave two
wars on my hands ct dor't contlive some
plan to get rid Of the kinky heads. Ion
SEE, Majcr. a fire i'll front an Il tire in the
rear viii be too much Of good thing.
4 Zee, $ e, Kernel ses |, you've got
to change your base.
Exactly, Majer; you hit the nail rite
on the he'd
Wal, scS !, Kernel. can't give you Il
bit Of advice except what have all along.
Put the niger in his place, an he won't
be bit Of trublc to you. but rs long as
you try to get along with him ont Of his
place, you'll be in hot water KS for go
ing To Ccntril America, they won't go
thar cny sooner than they will to Kam-
scatky.'
WAL SEES Linkin, Scs he, if thew won't
do that, we shall all pretty soon be in a
nice kittlr Of fish
wal, Scs !, Kernel, can you tell me
how y>a think this war is goin to end :
Wal, Majer, can't exactly see through
the hull subject ye:, hut Ill tell you Sto-

of tue subject One night at 4 tavern out
in lllinoy, tao drunken men Nee seat tn
Sleep in the same room. Now there was
two beds in the room, but they were so
drunk that they b 9TH got in one bed. bmt
did not know it. No sooner in than on"
sung out to the other, 4 say, Bill, some
Teller is in my bed The other one sung
out in reply, 4 say, Jim, some teller is in
my bed, too After swearing al tn, lani-
lord for while for not givin 'rm single
D., beds, Bill sung ont, i say JAN, I'm goin
/ to kick my Teller out of bed WAL >c>
/ Bill, so am L. So at it they went, hickn
like all possessed, until both Of 'em lay
sprawlinS out on the floor. They had
! kicked Themselves out of bed Now, Ma,
jer guess that will lie jest about how
, this war will end. The way we're gon
/ Oh, both the North an the South will kick
one another ont ol bed before they stop
and out OF house aud home, too.
'Wal.' ses |, Kernel, that's about my
idee, too, and don't believe, b. the time
they get through, either side viii have a
! bed blanket or even hull Shirt left
Theyll be WIS OF than Bill Brady when
he tit with the catamount, who dident
; have a rag left on him except the stock
around his neck
