The Tinguian, however, know that the spirits, called Abat and Selday bring about this affliction, unless they are kept in good humor, and have something to occupy their time other than disturbing human beings; hence these houses are built for them, suitable offerings are placed inside, and finally a few banana suckers are planted close by, so that the spirits will be kept busy caring for them.
"Wait!" exclaimed Jack suddenly. "I have a plan that may save us!" "What is it? Speak quickly!" said Mr. Henderson. "We are in desperate straits!" As he spoke there came another crash against the rocks. "We must electrocute the suckers!" cried the boy. "Electrocute them? What do you mean?"
Reckon you ricollect that black ash tree down by the creek at Baker's ford. Come along thar one time when the white suckers war a runnin' an' I had a pair of grab hooks, an' " "Well, what about Baker's ford?" Jasper asked, coming closer to him, and Margaret leaned forward expectantly. "That's whar he hung hisse'f." "What are we all a comin' to?" Margaret sighed, sitting back in her chair.
But is it not evident that a heavy crop followed by a small crop and much superfluous growth must be extremely bad? for the trees thus produce an over heavy crop of berries one year, and an exhaustive crop of shoots and suckers during the next, and thus call for an extra expenditure of labour.
I keep the ground about my plants free from suckers by the use of the lawn-mower. They can be cut as easily as grass when young and small. If there is a more beautiful shrub than the white Lilac I do not know what it is. For cut-flower work it is as desirable as the Lily of the Valley, which is the only flower I can compare it with in delicate beauty, purity, and sweetness.
"Why, where does Hymie Salzman, designer for Sammet Brothers, and Charles Eisenblum, designer for Klinger & Klein, get their idees, Mawruss?" This was purely a rhetorical question, but as Abe paused to heighten the effect of the peroration, Morris undertook to supply an answer. "Them suckers don't get their idees, Abe," he said; "they steal 'em.
I found out the fellow had about $60; but he was just as much a sucker as he was when he lost the $5,000, and I made up my mind to win his money, and then tell him that I was the same man that beat him before. I excused myself, and told my partner all about the fellow, and that I wanted to win his money. After supper I opened up monte, and caught a good many suckers.
There was a burst of bluish-green flame, and the movement of the boat suddenly ceased. "I guess that does for 'em!" shouted Andy. "Wait a few minutes," advised the professor. "The suckers may not all be dead yet!" He kept the current flowing throughout the length of the ship for several minutes, and then turned it off. "Now to see if the plan worked," he said.
One species alone never shows his beauty to the sun; and were it not for his lovely shining colours, you might almost be tempted to class him with the goat suckers on account of his habits. He is the largest of all the humming-birds, and is all red and changing gold-green, except the head, which is black.
In the lines of graft we've worked we took money from the people the Lord made to be buncoed sports and rounders and smart Alecks and street crowds, that always have a few dollars to throw away, and farmers that wouldn't ever be happy if the grafters didn't come around and play with 'em when they sold their crops. We never cared to fish for the kind of suckers that bite here. No, sir.
