Three Natives of Pike

all the time with my own expiitos, so U'll fast let you tell of any catfish you ketched on your side of the river," "So that was not your biggest cat fish?" ' 'I'm not sayin beauty afore age, young man." It being evident that Buck was deter mined to have the closing speech, the boss of the commissary department was instructed to bring out the redeye for another round. The fishing rods wer« thea stuck into the bank and .left to catch or not, as luck went, while ■ -&U haads stretched out upon the blankets Bpread m front of the tent to hear.

CHAPTER 11. THE STOKY OF THE SECOND PIKE.

This Pike was called Bud. He opened by saying: "Gents, I can't tell you a fish story, for I never keered a durn 'bout fishin. I might tell you some stories of 'gator shootin m Florida, cock fightin m Cuba, rattlesnake and porker pine fights m Mobile and sich like tilings, for I was allers a dry land sport and better at gittin tip dog and peccary fights and them kind of games than any thing elst. I made mighty well for a good while travelin with two "fightin peccaries that I picked up m Texas, I had a fightin coon to ketch the colored brother, a fightin armadiller from Hon duras and other sich rackets, but my greatest show ventur was made down m Orleans. "Gents all, though I don't look it now, I was onct m a fair way to be a bigger man m the show business than old Bar num. My great exerbition was the edercated turtles. For nigh onto six weeks my show drawed powerful—was all the rage. All over New Orleans was seen m big letters, 'The Edercated Tur tles; the Greatest Livin "Wonder of the Age.' , : :; '■ "I had my hall crammed every day and every night. Lamed perfessors wrote long articles 'bout 'the almost human intelligence of the giant soft shelled turtle.' I was making money hand over fist when an accident hap pened that busted my business—but of that you'll soon hear. "My show was a beautiful one and 'highly instructive,' as it said on my bills. It was my pride to give an exer bition. With a light rattan cane mmy hand I'd appear on the stage, take my place near the footlights and relate how Td led the life of a hermit six years on Florida Keys and at Tortugas, ederca tin my four turtles, which I'd hatched out mmy bosom from the eggs, and which, as would be seen, had now at tained a length of nearly five feet. I had a long speech that a newspaper fel ler wrote out'for me for six bits. "At last, when I'd worked up the audjence to sich a pitch that the cries of 'Trot out yer turtles' and the whistlin and stampin drownded my voice, I'd face about, flourish my rattan and at the word o& command two of the turtles would come marchin m from opposite sides of the stage. Then they'd lumber along down to the footlights, run out their he^dß and make a bow. Then the other pair would march m and take their places between the first, likewise Tbowin. "Music then strikin up, the turtles would get up on their hind legs, take their places and dance a French four. They'd also do double shuffles and pat juba, which fetched all the nigs. They played leapfrog, made pyramids and wrastled; also their drill with wooden guns was very pleasin. The big thing after all was the boxin match at the wind up. That allers brought down the house, but it was that which at last busted the whole business. "One Sunday night, when two of the turtles was boxin and the other two actin as seconds, the glove contest all at once turned into a reg'lar fight. To the astonishment of all the whites, and to the delight of all the niggers, the tur tles on a sudden left off boxin and went to buttin heads. "Only a few dashes was made afore of! went the head of one of the turtles, and the other was butted clean out of his shell, exposin to view two little naked darky boys. "A howl went up from the audjence, and seem that a rush was likely to be made for the stage, I gave the word to my turtles and we all skipped by a back door, rippin the little nigs out'n their shells with my jackknife. "Next day the papers gave the whole thing away. They told that to the back shells of turtles had been added artifi cial heads and necks, that the belly part was too flaps of cotton cloth sewed to the edges of the shells, and painted to imitate shell, and fastening up m front with small, well concealed hooks and eyes. They had it about right. "But for the papers bio win the thing I would have taken my show up the river as far as St. Louis, and likely clean on to New York. "In gittin up this show the worst of the job was findin little darkies of jist the right build. They had to have long necks and small heads to play the part of turtles. The masks were all the skins of turtles' heads greatly stretched and fitted with glass eyes, and the boys wore turtle slippers tanned till as soft as a kid glove. The animal stuffer who got up the rig charged two hundred dollars for it, and warranted that no deception could be detected from the front, nor would there have been any trouble but for the fight between the two little nigs, The buttin busted out the show. ♦•A curious thing was that m gittin up the show, when I first stripped one of the little nigs to fit him into his shell I noticed a peculiar scar on his back. I

"The turtles left off hoxin and went to buttin heads."

These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Kuculypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear* ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of rreiDfi and tennates.
