No other trees near it; all alone in a
little glade. The tree had a wide
spreading, bushy top. 1t didn't look
very promising for large stock OF
honey. One man said, 81 don't believe
it is worth cutting. / don't believe
there is any honey in the tree" We
could see bee once in while come
buzzing out of hole in the side of the
tree, about fifteen feet from the ground,
and there we stood for quite while.
1 said ,"Give me the axe and I will see
whether there is any honey in it or
not" When ! cut in the tree found
| it just as solid as pine ought to be.
When the tree fell it came down just
as easy, the top was so large and bushy.
After it was down one of the men SAID
Lets 60; that tree has no honey, let's
go!" My old partner said, "Ho!d on, /
am going to see whether there is any
honey or not before L CO." He took
| the axe and pounded on the tree along
the body. Pretty soon it sounded hol-
low. He stuck his axe in and it went
through the shell into the hollow. He
continued to cut and split off the tree,
and for six feet that tree was nothing
but thin shell, the hollow filled just
as full Of good, solid comb honey as
those bees could pack it. Such sight
1 never saw before. 1t was too cool
for the bees to fly and fight much, so
we had no trouble with them, We cut
out and filled the bucket with the fin
est, whitest comb for my old pard and
myself. Then we filled those churns
just as full as We could pack them.
After all the things were full there was
a large pile left and we sat down on
the Tree and ate a good slice of that
honeycomb. I tell you it was good,
| only if we had had some bread to go
with it. I do not think I ever ate as
much honey at one sitting as did that
day. After we had eaten all the honey
we could, there was as much as a
bucketful piled up on that log yet.
One man said, "WelI, we will let it be;
| we can't carry it away, for we have
nothing to put it in" 1 took the axe
and cut off log from the butt of the
tree and soon made q trough, like a
sugar trough, and put the honey in it.
Now let us go, for it is getting late; it
will be night before we get home," as
it was about four miles we would have
to carry those things. The men got
up on their horses and we handed up
their churns, and my old pard took the
bucket, axe and his gun and should
cred the through and took my gan and
started. soon found it was not very
easy carrying that through on my
shoulder, and / set it down. / told my
pard 10 cut good stout pole about six
or eight feet long. cut two good

withes and put them around the
trough at each end, so as to form bail
and with some shingle nails fastened
them so they would not slip off. We
then set the bucket of honey at the end
of the trough and ran the pole through
ell the balls; then tied the axe to the
pole. Now. then. we will see how she
will ride. I took the forward end of
the pole and my pard took the other
end and lifted the ends to our should
ers, taking our guns in our hands. and
we started. That's better. Now for
home. We took step and up and down
the mountains we tramp, tramp, until
just at shutdown, on top of a high,
grassy mountain we saw two 'cOons
running on the ground. We laid down
our load and after them and soon freed
them. We each shot one of those
coons in the eye. We cut each a withe
and made hole through their noses
with knife and run the witle through
the hole. After fastening the ends to-
gether we put them over our shoulders
and picked up our load again and start
ed on. About eight O'Clock we reached
his home, where we found all the girls
of the settlement having a quilting.
Oh, wasn't I tired and hungry after
all that tramp over all those noun
tains, with all that load to carry and
nothing to eat but honey, which salts
fieth not. How good supper tasted
that night. Then after supper, when
the girls had taken the quilt out of the
frames, what jolly time we had in
trying to wrap some couples i'm it, and
then the old plays! I think that night
was the only time in my life 1 would
rather have been before a campfire
than to kiss those girls; thought they
would never get tired and stop playing,
but way in the night some time they
stopped end all went to bed. There
were three beds i'm the room. five of us
men got in one bed, six girls in anoth-
er, and don't know how many in the
the other. 1t came my lot to sleep on
the foreside of our bed. I lay with
one loot in chair, one hand on the
spinning wheel that stood by the head
of the bed. 1t did not seem to me that
had more than got to sleep before I
found somebody pull that chair out
from under my foot and let me fall off
the bed on to the floor. I just got a
glimpse Of the skirt of dress going
out of the door and beard the joyful
laughter Of the girls way down the
road. When I got up found day had
come and the girls had gone.
And now, as think over-that time,
and where are all these young folk
now, / cannot find but one OF that com.
pany alive now, besides myself. All,
all dead. PR.
