invention Of the calabash or the use
OF the cocoanut shell and later on to
the spoon.

In the Old Days II Served as Proxy
For Its Owner.
In the early days everything was not

pie had rough and ready means OF
dealing with one another. of buying

mans place and was made 10 represent
him.
For example. to open fair II was
necessary then to have the consent and
protection Of the great lord in whose
country il was going TO be held Those
who wished TO open the fair would
come TO the nobIeman and petition him
TO he present. He might be very
busy or bored at the idea of having TO
go. yet he would know that II must be

but | will send my glove TO do II. You
all know my glove. Nobody has one
like 1t in the country 1t Is the one
my lady mother embroidered for me in
colored silks and silver wire, and II
has a deep violet fringe. You can
hang it above the entrance of your
fair grounds as sign that you are
acting with my permission. If any one
disputes your right or touches his mas

ALL" So the glove would travel in
