"No," replied the other, "I only want to see the length of your tongue; don't be alarmed, the whole thing will end merrily; come, now, give three of the heartiest laughs you ever gave in your life, or down goes your apple-cart you know what that means?" "I I c a n' t," said he. "Yes, you can," replied his castigator; "nothing's more easy; come, be merry."
No other man I know of could have done it, but there's a limit to the money available in the State of Pennsylvania for this business and we've reached it that's all."
