 During the ,"forties." the citizens of Pike County marketed their cotton in MontgomerYtsisE They made an annual trip each fall.s after the cotton lad been gathered and before the winter rains" had set in.

On the evening of the second day from home the "Pik- CTS" would camp on his land and would enter Montgomery the next morning During the time of their encampment, they used, at will. my fathers timber However, he lost nothing, for the Pix CTS had grain in abundance and fed ii lavishly to their stock. Much of the feed was wasted on the ground, and from that source his hogs kept fat throughout the fall season.

 lives cafry very little food for them selves, and as they are hard workers
 and fong narchers they have to be we'll fed. The only way to keep them together is by giving them plenty to eat and so long as they have this they are happy and cheerful. It does not matter what Is given them, for no ob- jections are made to decayed stun as long as there is plenty of 1t. While in the Transvaal l have seen natives

 no objections. merely scraping the
 worms and insects off and eating the meat. As soon as the food of the na-
 tives is the least bit reduced they be- gin 10 grumble, and trouble can be expected. It is certainly unpleasant while in the wilderness to have dis contented and quarreling band around you.
 It has happened on many occasions
 that hunters have been deserted by
 their attendants and left alone in the
 wilderness. They were compelled to
 leave everything behind them except
 their guns and few necessary articles that they could carry. and make for 1 the nearest village in the hope of find- ing carriers.
 When a horned animal is shot the best piece of meat is brought to the
 Boas by the head native. while the rest | Is given to them. They build large | fire and roast and eat the meat until | it Is all gone. While in Matabe1iland | a prospector told me he was out on q

 charge of the cooking. He had ex- | pected to have enough rations, includ- ing a little flour to last couple of days. He told his boys to help them- | selves and cat as much as they want I ed.

To the native African a good. hard working wife is . pearl of great price. and the more wives he has the greater his store of pearls. says Rafpt Blum berg. in The New Yorx American.

Despite her hard life the African woman is content. whereas It Is to be feared many another of diff eerent hue bemoans her fate IT she has to broil a steak.
 Ii Is no uncommon thing to see Afrt- can women at work in the fields with a little black baby strapped to their back. have seen six of them toilfng away in a field. while swaying to and fro on their backs were babies vary ing from two months to three years. LID and down the babies were shaken until I though their little lives must be 5olted out, and all the while the moth- CTS were talking and laughing as they worked, seeming not to mind 1t at all. Neither did the babies. ,
 While I was at Lorenco, Marquis. q seaport in Portugese East Africa. a boar loaded with freight was lying in the harbor and several native women were working there as stevedores. One. in particular. attracted my attention. She was a young woman with a three- year-oid child strapped to her back and was unloading the bricks from the vessel. Straight as an arrow sn. walked, with the bricks on her head. So perfect had she become at the work that she had not the least fear that the bricks would fall on the child.
 The native women throughout Af- rica seems to be well content with her lot The men at their kraais do nothing but loaf. They get together in crowds and talk all day long. They sometimes drill practice assegai-throwing, and some of them can hit the bulls-eye bullet of his rife. They also practice handling the knob kcrrie. which Is a short stick with a big knot on the end t. It is made of one piece of hardwood : and is a deadly weapon in the hands of . quick antagonist. They also practice sham fighting. keeping their shields in their left hand and their weapons in their right. The shield consists of an oval shaped piece of oxhide stretch- ed on the stick, the ends of which pro- truda beyond the hide. On the inside of 1t there is room for the hand, so that 1t can be firmly grasped. Some of the shields are made of the hides of hippo potami and are perfectly round in shape The hfppopotamus skin when dry is so tough that even bullet will not penetrate it, some parts of the skin being one inch thick. As the na- lives have nothing else to do. and prac-
