The splendid gamester stretched out his black head and hissed at me something liquid and venomous in the sound the long black beak as fine and polished as a case for a girl's penknife. He was game to the core and wild as ever.... Jack hadn't let him die perhaps he felt out of the law because of that. "I'll go and do my chores," Jack Miner said. "You can stay and think it out."

Take that word 'atrocity. Well enough in a radical leading article; but what core of real truth was there in it when it was used by a living man at a railhead up the Niger River?

A long ridge passes across the top of the forehead, from which proceed two horns, more or less curved, sometimes of great length, always tapering to a point, and having a bony core.

Peel the pineapple, dig out all the eyes, then cut from the core downward, or chop in a chopping-bowl, and set on ice until ready to serve. Then sugar the fruit well, and form into a mound in a dish. Garnish the base well with leaves or small fruit of any kind.
