But I wish you had a bigger bed. I ain't slept for two nights." "What was the matter?" "I was on the sleeper last night; and I didn't get in from the Duluth job till seven o'clock Saturday night, and Brown was after me before I'd got my supper.

There is no lack of water-power to reduce the raw material to a marketable condition, since the river above named can turn all the wheels of every mill in the country, could they be planted beside it.

Duluth turned out a good many thousands, so I suppose you think your wager as good as won." The manager of the tents evidently thought the outlook a forlorn one.
