Uncle Eli johnson. who was the old.
est colored resident of New England
town, possessed what he himself called
''powers OBJ expoundin." These powers
were exercised on all occasions and in
many different ways and had brought
their owner no small degree of local ce-
lebrity.
'W'at does folks mean when dey
speaks oh lookin gif hoss in de mouf,
Uncle Eli?" asked Pompey Leone one
day as he stopped at the old mans wood
shed for little chat.
wat does dey mean? queried Uncle
Eli, who usually ''temporized" a little
before making his wise replies.
"Yassuh," returned Pompey. II often
heard folks say as if it want safe to look
gif' hoss in de mouf."
well, OBJ course it ain, chile; oh
course it aim" said Uncle Eli, whose
mind was in condition to work rapidly
after the short respite afforded by Pom
pey's reiteration. "Yo' see, Pomp, dat
'gif is jess condaction, so to speak, OBJ
gifted an when folks speaks oh a gift
ed hoss wat does yo' interlocate dey's
referrin to?"
Ponpey shook his head. overpowered
either by the question or the remarkable
language i'm which it was couched.
"Sho, now, chile, am it possible yo'
don't prejicate dat simple notiony" ex-
claimed the wise one, lifting his hands
in apparent amaZement. "W'y, it's jess
like dis. A gifted hoss is one dat's got
powers, powers OBJ arin, powers OBJ kick
in, powers oh conductin hisse'f gently.
An don yo' see, chile. dat when folks steps
up to dat kind OBJ hoss an makes as if
dey persumpted to look in his mouf-w'y,
dat hoss he jess nachelly ex cises OBJ his
powers, an it ain safe-ob course it ain"
