w as we sat in front OF his cab
in one evening, "1'ye got a
few words to SAy-that is, l can't
skassly say which Of 'em kin rile a
man the most"
'.Just what do you mean?' asked.
''Waal, mebbe l kin make you under

Up to about ten vars ago thar used to
be heaps and heaps Of wildcats on this

would cum skulkin' bout the cabin O

yo'r ha'r stand up.
Zone AFTERNOON I cum home from
town to find my ole woman in the
sulks. She used to get that way now
and then, and it allus ended in a row.
When she began to jaw I began to
whistle, but arter half an hour I got
mad. I'd "a gone out and slept in the
woods only it was gwine to be dark
and rainy night. She sulked and sulk-
ed, and when it cum time to so to bed
] sot right yere and never minded the
time. She didn't offer to make up,
and so I was sittin' yere when mid
night cum. She was asleep and so
was I when thar cum cry from out
doahs. 1t was just like the hoot of a
woman lost in the woods, and it was
ringin' in my ears when the ole woman
sits up in bed and calls out:
"Zeb White, what on airth was that
and what ar yo' doin' sfttin' up thar

"'Then why don't 20 go out and
keep him company"
'I didn't say nuthin' 10 that, and
purity soon she fell back and went to
sleep again. Mebbe fifteen minits had
passed when the cry come ag'in and
sent shiver over me and brought the
ole woman out of bed.
"'Refo' the Lawd, but what kin it
be" she gasped.

about two brother players and their
experiences in a Maine temperance
