"No, there, is no good oratory to parliament now, and the English brag so, I doubt if it ever was so good, as they say it was in old times. At any rate, it's all got down to "Bunkum" now. It's makin' a speech for newspapers and not for the House. It's to tell on voters and not on members. Then, what a row they make, don't they?

"We found where we kin develop 250,000 jolts," Porcupine Jim announced.
"However, this ain't goin' ter be no love affair not yit, at least. If I wuz you I wouldn't try makin' no run fer it; an' if yer let out a screech, I'll hav' ter be a bit rough."

I'm makin' that promise right now." "I thought you were my friend," Bob faltered. "Don't you think it. I'm particular who I call by that name. I ain't a friend of any man without sand in his gizzard. But I done give my word to Old Blister an' I gotta come through. It'll hurt you more'n it will me, anyhow." "I'll quit an' leave this part of the country," Bob said wretchedly.

'But if he's such an infernal scoundrel, and he's robbed you among the rest, why come to his rescue?
