When you want woman, take hei if you can if you cannot, make her | feel her loss
 Be condescending always to wife; she likes it. Cocoanuts grow simply
 to fall and lie around the foot of tree A man with many wives is a cocoanut
 tree with much fallen fruit. "A woman fights with glances, man l With spears. Some glances are sharp | CT than some spears. ] If there is trouble in your huts, shift the women; women must live to- l gether a week before they fight. Some wives nurse grievances like
 children and love them full as well;
 see that such wives have a family of grievances.
 "One of my best wives hated me when I married her and loved me when l told her to die. One wife is as if the clock always marked high noon; there are other hours on the clock. "One wife is like one meal day. and that one meal always boyada, the same food; the stomach will not stand | it.
 If wife sneezes at you, take snuff and sneeze thrice at her. Then spit
 When a wife cuts your gums while she picks your teeth with her loppa, make no sound, make no vince or sign of feeling; later, see if she can do like wise under pain.
 Some women must be won in the sun, others in the shade. Judge them by their eyes, not by their skin, as some burn quicker in the shade than others in the sun.
 Slap some, pinch others, never pat them unless to save word.
 Talk little to women; listen much. They talk for many and listen for few.
 Better to have a women fear you than to think she can wave a dogs to a lover behind your back. A woman admires lion that will eat her more than a monkey that will chatter for peanuts.
 ",The wink is not known in Senegal; we do not blink at the sun or at each other. What we see, we sec What Is, we see.
 What is not other countries can wink at.
 "Fifty-five wives are like long journey. When the traveller wearies he can rest by the wayside in the moonlight.
 DO not worry over what a woman means. A dog follows you whether you understand his barks, He barks to the moon. woman often means even less than the moon
 1T bring three wives here. I leave behind fifty-two for what you call modesty. Modesty is funny, it means clothes, bushes, and less wives known to others.
 Always have an odd number of wives; that is true already in this country save when they punish for an even number; men are in prison for two wives, but not for three. Bigamy is even numbered, polygamy is odd numbered. One Is an odd number.
 "The less clothes a wife wears the more she has to hide in her head if she would keep 1t from you. Clothes are foolish; tattooing is far more ornamen- tai and does not chafe. Tailors are like monkeys tails, good only for hang- ing.
 What is art? I never saw it before I came here. In Senegal, art, as I see it in this country would be for monk ey to hang by its tail in cocoanut tree and make all tribes believe 1t was a man in high suspense.
 Wives are useful particularly if you smoke. Let their teeth be good; it1 means better snuff.
 Children? They are incidents. | Great men deal only with events.
 Marry much. Do not take it seri- ously. Often bad wives make good | widows It is hard to be the widower | of good widow.
 "All that Americans need to reach l the real stage of life where others will | do all the work and fill their pipes Is more sun. more wives and less clothes. | The whites tell us always do to-day | what you hould not put off till to-mor- row.
 when the cooks spoil the broth in our land we put them in the pot to make more. It solves the question of food.
 Many women would rather be one of fifty-five wives than one of none. They are not all black. None of them may be white. There are other colors In the world"
 Here Obendaga spat on the big toe of his right foot. Ramgootula said it meant Obendaga was sleepy. Soon he was snoring.
 "A priest never lies" said Ramgootu- la, 'even when he sleeps"
 That did not mean that Ramgootula slept standing up.-Buffalo Express.
