"So you won't come with me! Oh, Steve, sometimes I can just see the whole mistake you should never have made a fortune. Rather you should have been a nice foreman with a meek little wife in four-dollar hats and a large portion of offspring. You should have lived in a model bungalow with even a broom closet in the kitchen and leaded windows at one side.
A pair of four-dollar boots would bring from fourteen to sixteen dollars; a two-dollar hat would bring eight dollars, and so on through all the list of goods brought in. Every successful captain might have made a fortune in a year; but it is not believed that five out of the whole number had a thousand dollars on hand when the war closed. It was come easy, go easy."
If your point of view is all right it's an easy matter to make a four-dollar dog-house look like the villa of a Wall Street broker at Newport. Ten minutes after friend wife had been given the camera she had me set up as a statue all over Uncle Peter's lawn, and she was snapping at me like a Spitz doggie at a peddler.
If he isn't at my four-dollar gloves!" Quick, like the well=trained athlete that he was, Ed grabbed the rope from the farmer, sprang to the hay rack and made a cast. It landed true on the animal's horns. "I've got him!" exclaimed the boy. "Now, fellows, quick! Make his legs fast."
He has been in St. Louis five years, is now assistant manager of the largest dry goods house, and still lives in one of Miss Crane's four-dollar rooms. I think we may safely say that he will be a millionaire before I am a senator." He paused. "And mother?" "Yes, dear." He put his hands in his pockets and walked over to the window. "I think that it would be better if I did the same thing."
It ain't enough that right to-morrow I got a fifty-dollar note over me from Sol Ginsberg a four-dollar present she wants for a child that don't even know the name of a feedle!" "Leon baby, stop hollering papa will go back and get the fiddle for you now before supper. See mamma's got money here in her waist "
'Dollar fifteen, I says anything so he should shut up with his hollering for what he seen in the window." "He seen something in the window he wanted, Abrahm?" "Didn't I tell you? A feedle! A four-dollar feedle! A moosicer, so we should have another feedler in the family for some thirty-cents lessons." "Abrahm you mean he our Leon wanted a violin?" "'Wanted, she says.
So I took you on instead. "I stopped hoping, you see, and tried to forget all about it tried to crowd it out of my life. I said I'd make my work a substitute for it. And, in a way, I succeeded. The work opened up and got more interesting as it got bigger. It wasn't just selling four-dollar candlesticks and crickets and blue glass flower-holders.
A. M. J. Looking forward with pleasurable anticipation to the enlargement. W. F. B. Anxious to see it enlarged. J. L. A., M.D. Cerebral science is by far the best portion of your publications. Dr. D. E. E. Increase its size to a four-dollar monthly. Dr. W. B. F. I appreciate the JOURNAL above all other publications. W. D. I. Put my name down for a life membership.
I even think I had some notion of growing four-dollar orchids on the pear trees. The idea of putting in things that would really grow was entirely hers." "I like the idea of planting the old-fashioned, hardy things," said the Doctor. "They're the best, after all. Asters and foxgloves and deutzia and snowballs and all the rest of them." "And phlox," said Wade.
