| Additional Information | |||
| Bear Fat | |||
| As far as my experience goes, it's not well to eat too much bear's fat when one's in a fever. Thar war a pashint at my house, who war very ill with the tipus fever, and wanted a swet. We giv him a smart chance of whiskey every morning, an brought on the sweat by setting him to climbling up a pine tree an sliding down agin. The whiskey and the climbing brought on the sweat, and then we put drafts on his feet maid of aqua fortis, and skunk's marrow, and that cured him. | |||
| Growler The Dog | |||
| I never struck my dog Growler, but once, and he knowed that I war sorry for it. So he went and picked up my whiskey bottle, and brought it to me to cheer me up. | |||
| Telzer The Dog | |||
| The best dog that ever I owned, war named Teazer. Besides that I had Tearer, Holdfast, Deathmaul,
Grim Porcupine and Growler, that I've got now. Teazer was the best of the hull lot, and he died one day,
bekase when I ordered him to dive in the Mississipi, I forgot to give him the word to come up to the
top o' the water, and he wouldn't presume to put his nose above water without orders. He war the only dog I ever owned that war true gritz an the way he could throw a buffalo war astonishment to all my other dogs. He war in his eightieth year when he died. | |||
| A Snake Story | |||
| When I war courting Ann Hunky, up in Dog's Paradise, it war a hot summer's
evening, an we sot in doors without anything around one another's necks, an I war feeding Ann with the end
of a sassenger and a pig's tale. She held open her mouth while I poked it in.
All of a sudden we looked around, an the room behind us war full of snakes as it could hold; I took up Ann and sot her on the shelf out of' the way, but I war in sich a hurry that I sot her behind into a plaitern o' hot soap, an she jumpt down pesky fast, an squirmed most beautiful, for it burnt her sum, I think. Then the snakes cum at me an twisted around my legs, an arms an body, like a Yankee pedlar when he wants to cheat you out of a dollar. Thar war a smart chance o' snakes that chased the gal too; but she jumpt out of the window, and got off Then I seed I couldn't do nothing with my arms, for they war fastened by the snakes like ropes. All at once I begun to scream. I screamed till the chimbly fell down on the roof; it upsot the bed, an turned over the tea-kettle, and the snakes begun to unloose themselves, an they trotted off most beautiful. Every one o' these snakes war hard o' hearing arter that. I forgot to count 'em, but I think thar war over two thousand; every time that I war out huntin arter game, 1 could see these snakes runnin in all directions to git out o' my road. | |||
