They shoot folks here somewhat, and the law is rather partial than otherwise to first-class murderers. I visit the territorial Prison, and the Warden points out the prominent convicts to me thus: "This man's crime was horse-stealing. He is here for life." "This man is in for murder. He is here for three years." But shooting isn't as popular in Nevada as it once was.
It was employed also in the Abyssinian expedition, for illuminating the advance camp when there was a possibility of it being attacked by Theodore's troops.

He told one of his employees to go for a carpenter. He replied, "This man Calhoun can do any such work you want done." The agent had me get my tools and do the work. A few days afterward he wanted a first-class cook to prepare and serve a special Christmas dinner. The same employee told him, "Calhoun can do it." The motto of my class was, "We Conquer by Labor."
Now look what this one did, spoiled a man that had the makin's of a first-class sailor in him, and turned him into a soldier!" "But where would we be in this country of ours now, bosun, if it were not for the soldiers?

A few second-class male passengers shared these delectable quarters with the sailors, and the Francis Cadman had secured a complement of first-class patrons willing to pay exorbitant prices for the dubious comforts and plain fare of the 'cabin' passage. The gold lust was burning in the blood of Europe.
His 'imaginings, if such they are, of immortal life, as much surpass in plausibility and naturalness those of Milton, Dante, and Virgil, as the acting of a first-class theatre surpasses that seen in the old monkish 'mysteries. This writer, T. L. Harris, has won much recognition in both hemispheres; would win much more if he appeared simply as a poet, and did not claim a seer faculty, making many positive statements that cannot be verified.

"I'll sign an agreement to that effect," he promptly promised. "And how much do you offer us for the property?"
Ried said, looking after Abbie with a little sigh, and addressing her remarks to Ester as they stood together for a moment in the further parlor. "He is a first-class fanatic, grows wilder and more incomprehensible in his whims every day, and bends Abbie to his slightest wish.
Harold paused a moment and then said: 'I hear from our solicitors that you have drawn five thousand pounds out of first-class mortgages. Now, this is a large sum of money. How do you intend to re-invest it? I don't see how you could get better interest than you have been getting unless you accept doubtful security. I hope that neither this paper La Voix du Peuple or Panama has tempted you.
