Concrete, Texas.-Dear Haphammer:
have been silent for so long that | guess
that you all have forgotten me. We'll |
have been dreaming too and / believe
that I will tell you about It.
II happened In the wilds of Africa on OF
about the 9th day OF September, 1890,
that was hunting with one OF my friends
in terribly thick jungle. We had beer
tramping ell day with no little luck and
about the close OF day we were hunting
for O place to camp. Looking around we
espied a large cave beneath some large
bamboo vines. II etTuok Us that IL would
be good place to camp, so, after making
some torches, we went into a large room
furnished with every luxury that would
make person comfortable, but none
was there. After looking ground for 81
long time We saw a door that we
! thought might lead to some other room
After some little parley we opened II and
stepped into a room which we took for 4
sleeping room, but seon, to our sorrow
we learned better, for. with yell and a
rush. a half dozen men appeared on tbs
scene, armed with swords and knives and
with a determined look on their faces
that plaiAly showed us our fate. Such &
hghtl The last thing that can remember
was being hurled through the air ant
| awoke with a start as ] reached the floor
had been dreaming all tSe time. Hur-
rah for the club yell. A true Hap.
