gave her feet a dose of anise seed that
ought to have paralyzed a pack of
hounds. She wanted to hug me and
let me kiss her, but 1 said [ passed,
and she said she would do as much
for me some time.
About this time the planter took the
lead, and they all went across a pas
ture into the woods and began knock
ing nuts off the trees. All through
the woods there were signs: mo
Trespassing," and Beware of the
Dogs" but the planter said to never
mind the signs. l told the boy to let
the dogs loose on their trail in about
nttIf an hour, and L went along with
the folks, and L told pa l had SEEN a
pack of bloodhounds that would eat
people alive, and if he heard hounds

ed as though they had been tarred
and feathered.
The planter gave us a fine lunch
con of fried chicken and corn pone,
and cider, and pa acted as the boss
of the circus folks, while the plant
er and his family, with about 100
negroes, passed things around They
all seemed to be interested in seeing
how much stuff the fat lady and the
giant could hold without putting up
sideboards to keep the frood from
falling off. If pa hadn't told the ne
groeS not to feed the fat lady and the
giant any more. there would have
been two circus funerals the next
day.
l got acquainted with a boy that
was the planters son, and while the
rest We're eating and drinking the
boy showed me a pack of hounds
that are kept for trailing crimi-
sassy at white women. The trouble
with negroes is that they all look
alike, and if one commits a crime
they can prove an alibi, cause every
last negro will swear that at the
time the crime was committed the
suspected man was attending a pray
er meeting, so they have to have
hounds that can be taken to the
place where the crime was commit
ted. and they find the negrO's track
and they follow it till they tree him.
The hounds do not bite the negro
like we used to hear about, but they
just follow him till he is traed, and
then they bark, as much as to say:
'Ah, there, Mr.. Niger, you just stay
where you are till the sheriff comes
to fetch you, and Mr. Niger just
turns pale and he stays on a
limb till the sheriff comes with his
lynohing tools. When the sheriff

there, and the deputy sheriff brings
the rope.
| asked the boy if the hounds would
trail a white man without hurting
him, and he said ii you put anise seed
on their shoes the hounds will trail
'em all right, so we put up 81 job
to have some fun. The boy gave me
some anise seed. and told me to put
it on the shoes of anybody L wanted
trailed, and after they got out in the
woods he would put the hounds on
the trail, and the people would have
to get UP trees, or have their pants
chewed, but the dogs would not hurt
anybody.

about it. / went to pa, and told him

fat woman looks as though she

but L told her, as friend, not to

tance, came the bay of the pack of
bloodhounds, and every negro turned
pale, and got ready to climb q tree.
The planter stopped to listen, and
when one of the managers OF the show
asked him what was the matter, he
said: You can search me, sab. If
that is my pack of hounds, a crime
has been committed. and the sheriff
has started the pack on the trail of
the criminal, sab, because the dogs are
never turned loose, except for busi-
ness"

gers, and said: eff any of you all are
guilty of crime, you jest get scarce, or
pick out your tree, and get up it
mighty sudden, cause the hounds
