That's the first thing he's written in the Tocsin this month one of the boys over there told me. He wrote it out of spite against Joe; but he'd ought to of done better. If his spite hadn't run away with what mind he's got, he'd of said that both Joe Louden and that tramp Fear ought to of had ten years!" "'Gene Bantry didn't write that out of spite," answered Buckalew.
"He only thought he saw a chance to be kind of funny and please Judge Pike. The Judge has always thought Joe was a no-account " "Ain't he right?" cried Mr. Arp. "I don't say he ain't." Squire Buckalew cast a glance at Mr. Brown, the clerk, and, perceiving that he was listening, added, "The Judge always IS right!" "Yes, sir!" said Colonel Flitcroft.
"That's because he's got so shabby he's quit goin' with em," said Buckalew. "No, it ain't," snapped Mr. Arp. "It's because he's so low down. He's no more 'n a town outcast.

It is yet to be learned with equal emphasis that he who would preserve his own right to suffrage must never aid in depriving another citizen of the same great boon. In moral as in physical conflicts it may be easy to determine who strikes the first blow, but it is difficult to foresee who may strike the last. Morton and Buckalew for a Sixteenth Article of Amendment was as follows:
Ariel did not rise from where she knelt, but looked up at him when, a little later, he lifted his hand. "Yes," said Joe, "you can cry now." Joe helped to carry what was mortal of Eskew from Ariel's house to its final abiding-place. With him, in that task, were Buckalew, Bradbury, the Colonel, and the grandsons of the two latter, and Mrs.
