SOURDOUGH SAM SAYS:
"It* s a funny thing, Jack, -but I
' aint never saw an ant, a squirrel er
a bee with a hongry look in his face.'*
Sara must have had something on his
mind when he came in the other day
spouting some of his backwoods phil
osophy. I never found out what it
was. He just sat down, mulled his
quid around, and studied the stove.
•’Was in one of these here colynist
homes t’other day. Good house, too.
Better’n I spected. Some them fel
lers can handle tools.
’’Had his stove up all wrong,
though. You know, had the first joint
fittin’ inside the next one up. Burn
in’ green birch, too. Creosote leak
in’ at every joint ’stead of dripping
inside. Messy stuff, that there creo
sote. Women folks hates it, I guess.
?,So I jest punched four twenty pen
ny spike holes intuh the pipe right a
bove the damper. That sure fixed her.
Guess it must be that it gives enough
draft to carry it outer the pipe er
somethin’. Don’t have no more trouble
after puttin’ in them holes, anyway,
but they got tuh be above the damper.*’
