"I reck'n that's so," replied Shorty; "but they likes other people jest as well even a skinny feller like me. They lunches off'n privits, 'n' Corp'rils, 'n' Kurnals, 'n' Gin'rals, all the same.

They allus gits hungry in the night, too, and chaws a feller up while he sleeps.
You pay me back the chaws you've awready borry'd off'n me, Lafe Buckner, then I'll loan you one or two ton of it, and won't charge you no back intrust, nuther." "Well, I DID pay you back some of it wunst." "Yes, you did 'bout six chaws. You borry'd store tobacker and paid back nigger-head."

He's a perfect fury, gets mad at nothing, and chaws his mustache and glares so ugly I always listen to see whether he's going to growl like Towzer." "He has the finest house in town," said Faith consolingly, "and a piano and a horse and buggy. He is going to have an automobile next summer." "I'd rather live with nice folks than with pianos and nautomobiles," Peace interrupted.
'You mind you chaws the shot well, measter, said the shepherd, 'afore you loads th' gun. The more you chaws it the better it sticks the-gither, an' the furder it kills um; a theory of gunnery that which was devoutly believed in in his time and long anticipated the wire cartridges.
"Roight you are; that's what it is. Now who chaws tobaccie in this stable?" he demanded of Carter, with the air of a cross-examining counsel. "I don't." "Does Finn?" "No; I don't think so."
