"I'll let you figger thet out." "Wal, somethin' ails the whole gang," declared Anson, savagely. "With them it's nothin' to eat no whisky no money to bet with no tobacco!... But thet's not what's ailin' you, Jim Wilson, nor me!"
Wright, Morris-Eyton, Watson of the 1st Staffs., Morgan, Anson of the 4th, and Lyttelton, Morris, and Dixie of the 2nd Lincolnshires, were the most frequent visitors for the "pip squeaks," while Lieuts. Newton, Cattle, and F. Joyce performed the same duties for the Derby Howitzers.
I reckon dat's de quickest white-washin' job I done in some time!" chuckled Eradicate, as he grasped his long handled brush, and clambered down from the wagon, ready for a renewal of the hostilities on the part of Morse.

Then she turned to Mr. Jones and with eyes swimming with tears tenderly kissed his furrowed cheek. "Oh, Uncle Anson; I'm so happy!" she said. Of course Myrtle's story is told, now.
"I'm running the boat trip. So you just climb out and chop firewood, and plenty of it. I'll take care of dad. You, Anson, make a fire on the bank. And you, Bill, set up the Yukon stove in the boat.
