some coons who never cared for any

Pa is arranging to skip out some morn

this tribe has hidden around the
camp. But in the meantime we are
educating those Africans into the
methods of civilization.
Pa has issued an edict that the eat
ing of human flesh must cease, and he
has explained to them that the Great
Spirit will have it in for any person
that kills except in self defense, and
that all who are cannibals will never
get to heaven, and the whole tribe had
sworn off on eating the bodies of hui

the way to broil a beefsteak, and they

tons, but they never knew what the
white buyers did with the cattle.
Pa has showed them how to dig
wells, and get good water to drink,
instead of surface water and liquor
made out of some kind of berries, that
makes you drunk to smell of it.
The cowboy has got a buffalo
trained to ride and zebra that acts
like a regular COW pony of the plains.
The cowboy came near to getting us
in trouble by getting drunk on the
berry juice. He got on the zebra
with his lariat rope and put the spurs
to the animal and rode through the
camp and threw his rope over the old
ex-king and frightened it up around his
neck, just to show what he could do,
and the zebra ran away and dragged
the king through the chaparral and
came near killing him, but Pa ex-
planned to the old king that the COW
boy was the agent Of the Great Spirit,
and was trying out the king to see if
he had patience, and could take a joke
without letting his angry passions rise,
and that if he could smile at adver-
sity he would be looked upon
as one of the elect.
Pa told him that often King Ed
ward, Emperor William and the car of
Russia were roped and dragged around
by the neck, and they enjoyed it,
PAS diplomatic talk to the negro
king so impressed him that he wanted
the cowboy to rope Pa and drag him
some but Pa pointed his finger to the
sky and said he was SO good that no
rope could touch him. Gee, but those
niggers are easy marks.
Pa and the cowboy have been train
ing the male members of the tribe in
the military drill, and we have got
eight companies that can march by
tours and in platoOns. and come into
line just like soldiers, and they are
proud of what they can do, but they
only use clubs for guns, though Pa has
promised them that when he gets
money enough he will buy Winches-

away, and take all their gold and
