RUNAWAY BLACK BOYS.

Boys sometimes run away from the
plantations and live alone in the forest,
building little sheds 10 protect them
from the rain, and sometimes planting
little gardens for food; but the most
pa-t live the best they can upon the
nuts Of the trees and the yams that
they dig with their hands out of the
earth. / do not think there could be any
where in the world people more wretch
ed than these runnways. They can
not return, for they would only re-
turn to be punished; they can never
hope 20 see again their own people
indeed, do not know that they can
hope but just TO find enough yams
every day TO keep them from starvation.
And in the wet season of the year,
which is our summer and your winter,
when the rain falls day after day far
louder thnn the loudest thunder-pump
that ever fell In England, and the room
Is so dark that the lean man Is some
times glad TO light his lamp TO write
by, / can think OF nothing so dreary as
the state OF these poor runaways In the
houseless bush. You are 20 remember,
besides. that the people of the island
hate and fear them because they are
cannibals; sit and tell tales Of them
about their lamps at night In their own
comfortable houses, and are some
times afraid 10 lie down 10 sleep II there
Is a lurking black boy In the neighbor-
hood. Wen, now. Alick is of their own
race and language, only he is a little
more lucky, because he has not run
away and how do you think that he
proposed 10 help them? lie asked II he
might have n gun. "What do you want
with a guD, Alick?" was asked. lie an
fwered quite simply. and with his nice,
good-nntured smile, that II he had a
gun he would go up into the High
bush and shoot black boys rs men shoot
pigeons. He said nothing about eating
them, nor do think he really meant to.
think all he wanted was 10 clear the
plantation of the yermin, as game
keepers at home kill wcasels or rats.
The other day he was sent on an err
rand 10 the German company where
many OF the black boys live. IL was
very late when he came home. He had
a white bandage round his head. His
eyes shone, and he could scarcely speak
fos excitement. IL seemed some OF the
blRckboys who were his enemies at home
had attacked him, one with a knife.
by his own account he had fought very
we'll; but the odds were heavy. The
man with the knife had cut him both In
the head and back; he had been struck
down; ana II some black boys OF his
own side had not come 10 the rescue,
he must certainly have been killed. /
am sure no Christmas box could make
any Of you children 10 happy as this
fight made Alick. A great part Of the
next day he neglected his work 10 play
upon the one-stringed harp and sing
songs about his great victory. To-day.
when he Is gone upon his holiday, he
has announced thai BE Is going back
10 the German firm TO have another
battle and another triumph. do not
think he viii 90, all the same, or
should be uneasy; for do not want

notice an Englishman choosing cigar2
lie always puts II up to his ear and
squeezes IL between his forcfnger and
thumb. He does that TO see II IL will
craclle. II IL does he will more than
likely take IL. An Englishman likes
dry cigar, the drier the better, while
the American prefers his damp. Ifyou
asked for damp cigar IN london the
storelteeper would thin. either that
yor were jolting-a thing 70 which he
has a rooted objection-or that IL was
your first smoke, In which case he prob
ably would try to palm off a two-penny
cabbage as n straight Havana. Those
tricks are not confined to this side of
the ocean.
Here we keep our cigars in a damp
place. Over there, where about every
thing is soaking, they keep them in the
dryest spot they can find. They even
go so far as TO say that no man who
lives by the sea can have decent cigars.
Isuppose it's natural. When mans dry
he always wants something wet and vice
versa. Perhaps II had the misfortune
TO live on a foggy island I'd want my
cigars like tinder."-N. Y. Sun
