In this village is their housen, their earth huts, their tepees, orniments, reindeers, dogs, sledges, fur clothin', boats, fishin' tackle, etc., etc.
As queer a sight as I ever see, and here it wuz agin, my Josiah and me a-journeyin' way off in Lapland--the idee! [Illustration: My Josiah and me a-journeyin' way off in Lapland--the idee!] The Dahomey Village come next.

This shows the homes and customs of that country where the wimmen do all the fightin'.
I sez to Josiah, "What a curiosity that wuz!" And he sez, "I d'no about the curiosity on't.

It don't seem so to me; some wimmen fight with their fists," sez he, "and some with their tongues." That wuz his mean, onderhanded way of talkin'.
But these wimmen are about as humbly as they make wimmen anywhere.
And as for clothes, they are about as poor on't for 'em as anybody I see to the Fair.

They had on jest as few as they could.
They say their war dances is a sight to see.
