hard for an honest uigger to live COM
fortably out here.
Isam S face took ON look of personal
injury.
"Er homes nigg'r," he said, stirring
up the ashes and inserting fresh cake,
don eat no mo- out hyah den he do at
home, not bit. Rashuns es rashuns
ennywhar you fine 'em. En- | hear

Your idea of etiquette is perfectly
sound, Isam."
"En der only time wen folks watts
s'tin got er right ter git der backs up
es ven de gem man feed 'esse'f high en-
feed e others low"
With an air of dignity the old negro
gathered up the remnants of the spread,
the major having finished and retired TO
allay the pangs of an increased appetite,
but he was doomed to further delay. A
most ,profane ejaculation fell from the
majors lips and came 10 his ears.
"Des' es said. dere 'tis ergin-ter-
hacker now" He put aside the repast
and grumblingly investigated the kit
once more. ''En l reck'n wen he see
dis yer bag er terbacker he go'n ter
want hits ped gree all way back. ="
Nevertheless he produced it, with a
handful of corncob pipes, and cutting
reed stem handed to the major the fin
est smoking outfit in the world. As
Isam skillfully balanced glowing coal
upon the little heap of tobacco he con-
cluded:
Somehow nuther sump'n said bout
time de runaway roshun struck in,
'Isam, you go'n ter see com ny terday.
and hits go'n ter be Mass Craffud, so
des laid in er bag spesh'ly fur m"
The major merely drew in and ex-
PEELED a cloud of smoke. He contented
himself with saying, You are very
thoughtful" and laughing softly to
himself Isam retired to his meal AS
he finished and stuffed his own cob pipe
full of natural Leaf and perique-
brought along especially for his master
-Isam cast his eye skyward.

The major rose and followed cheer
lily. Slzirting the swamp, Isam soon
found hog path, and presently the
runaways came in sight of the river.
A batteau was tied up in little branch
near by, and in it lay an ak and a
paddle.
"Isam," said the major as he clam
bered in, "how does it happen that you
find beat and ax all ready here. and the
runaway notion only struck you just be-
fore day this morning?"
Isam shook his head as he chuckled;
Hit ain de rite time er day ter

Tamping and Ramming BorehOles.

An innovation in mining work is an
invention for tamping and ramming
boreholes. The hole itself is made of
a smaller diameter at the inner end
where the cartridge is placed. A small
wood disk rests against the shoulder
made by the smaller hole and protects
the cartridge. The tamping consists of
blocks of compressed clay, which are
broken up in the hole by the rammer.
The disk, blocks and rammer head are
all perforated so that they can be thread
ed ON to the fuse wires. Clay blocks
are made at a very cheap rate by sim
pie machine, and by their use uniform
ity in the tamping material is secured.
