There Is a peculiar pleasure in visit
ing country where the people have q
speech and manners of their own,
where at any turn man is liable to
hear or see something new. The New
York Sun describes an experience of
Northern traveller in the pine woods
of North Carolina. He had started out
to join some friends who were on a
hunt for turkeys.
Finding no sign of them. he was glad
to meet a native in an old road, and
asked him if he had seen anything of
the party.
"Yes, suh," he replied. They're up
this road yonduh, three looks and a
hoot, suh.'
The New-Yorker thought the native
was guying him, and started off In
huff. He went on until he came to
bridge, where he met another piny-
woods denizen at work, and asked him
the same question. The man looked up
the road. The farthest thing in sight
was a big pine-trec, nearly mile
away.
"Yes, sub, l seen 'em s mawnin' suh,"
he said. "They was jes bout one look
an hoot from hyuh then, suh."
The stranger glared at the man, and
went grumbling on his way. Just be-
fore he came to the big pine-tree an
other native came out of the woods,
and the New-Yorker, with much mis-
giving, asked him the question he had
put 10 the Others
"Oh, yes, suh," was the reply. "They
only Jes' in hyuh a hoot, suh."
The native turned toward the woods,
put hand on each side of his mouth,
and shouted a lusty:
"Hoo-o-o-o-oo-hootw
In few seconds similar cry came
back from the woods.
Thar they is, suhr exclaimed the
native. That's them, suh."
And 1t was They were three looks
and hoot from the place where tbe

them.
