Enterprising White.

A writer gives a little sketch of black and white in Natal. He tells how he came across a white boy, some fourteen years old, and a group of raw natives playing a game. They were shooting with an old muzzle-loading shotgun at a bottle on the top of a case. When the youngster smashed a bottle he received a “tickey" (a threepenny bit) from the natives. When a native hit it he received threepence from the boy. “That peems a funny sort of game,” remarked the witness to the boy. “Oh, the game’s all right, sir,” replied the lad. “You see, I load the gun.”
