(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 601 ) 
said: “Yo’ dun eat yo’ suppah, Uucle 
Petah, long time ago.” 
“Cum heah yo lyin’ yaller rascal; bring 
me mah suppah.” 
Then Henry approached cautiously, 
■with his knees knocking together like a 
culprit who expected and deserved con- 
dign punishment, said: 
“Uncle Petah, yo dun eat yo sup- 
pah, I cross mah breff; luk at de bones 
in yo lap, and de gravy and rice on yo 
whiskahs and de grease and de skin on 
yo ban’s; and yo didn’t leff nuthin’ fo 
me. Gib me a quartah, Uncle Petah, so’s 
I kin go ashore and get sum suppah.” 
“Pll give yo de mos’ torn down lickin’ 
yo eber had in yo life, yo yaller rascal.” 
Then partly convinced by the evidence, 
but still skeptical and not entirely sat- 
isfied as to the cause of the qualms of 
his stomach, he said: 
“Heah’ a quartah and hurry back; 
hit don’t seem’s I had anytin’ to eat fo’ 
a month o’ Sundays; git plenty.” 
D uring the next winter I made a 
business trip to Rome, Ga. Al- 
though a small town, then, there 
was no lack of enterprise, and Georgia 
was always considered a wide-awake 
state. A strap iron railroad had been 
built along the bank of the Coosa River 
from Rome to Kingston, which ■was on 
the “State Road,” running from Atlanta 
to the south. A small locomotive had 
been built in the local machine shop, 
which with a passenger coach and a com- 
bination baggage and freight car con- 
stituted the train which made a daily 
trip to Kingston and return. 
Having finished my business, several 
passengers and myself started on a Sun- 
day morning on the little train bound 
for Kingston and the North. Among 
the passengers was a son of John James 
Audubon, the father of American Ornith- 
ologj'. He ■was soliciting subscriptions 
to his late father’s magnificent w’orks. 
The night before we started w'as quite 
cold for Georgia, with rain and sleet, 
which rendered the track very slippery 
in exposed places. The small engine not 
being equipped with a sand-box, our 
wheels often ■whirled around without pur- 
pose or benefit, so that our progress was 
exceedingly slow. A good deal of chaff 
and fun was indulged in by the passen- 
gers at the expense of the good-natured 
conductor and engineer. 
“Why don’t you have a cow-catcher 
on your engine?” asked one. 
“Never saw a cow on this road I could 
catch,” replied the engineer. 
“Ought to have one on the rear end 
to prevent the cows from running into 
the train,” said another. 
“Will we have time to do a little fish- 
ing in the Coosa?” asked one. 
“This must be a tri-weckly train,” 
volunteered a big man, “if it can’t go 
one week it will try to go the next.” 
Then a negro with a bundle on a stick 
over his shoulder overtook us, and the 
engineer, who knew him, shouted: 
^ “Hello, Sam ! don’t you svant to ride?’- 
**Clean As 
A Whistle” 
“Not a spot— practi- 
cally as good as the 
day I bought it.” 
You can say that, too, 
if you regularly use 
Pyramid 
Solvent 
Made by the makers of that 
famous gun oil — 3-in-One. 
Tested by expert military and 
civilian shots before being of- 
fered to you. Capt. Wm. F. 
Gorman, U. S. Inf., says: 
“I have cleaned a rifle "with 
Pyramid Solvent, at times, 
hours after leaving the rifle 
range, and after at least one 
hundred rounds had been fired, 
removing every particle of the 
poisonous, smokeless residue. 
In every single instance the 
bore was left shining bright.” 
P> ramid Solvent easily and quickly 
dissolves high power smokeless and 
black powder residue. Loosens 
metal fouling. Contains no mois- 
ture to cause rust and no chemical 
that attacks the gun metal. Try it. 
Prove it. 
After Pyramid Solvent, use 3-in- 
One Oil to prevent rust and to 
lubricate. 
Pyramid Solvent is 
for sale by most 
firearm dealers, 3 
ounces in a conven- 
ient flat can that fits 
pocket or shooting 
kit, 30c per can. If 
>our dealer ca:i’’. 
supply 3^ou, send 30c 
and we will send 
you a can postpaid.
