Then you went ahead and had the vision, which was quite in keeping with your general lunar condition. I believe you said there was a moon."
Artemas Ehnamane was born in 1825, at Red Wing, Minnesota, by the mountain that stands sentinel at the head of Lake Pepin. "Walking Along" is the English translation of his jaw-breaking surname. As a lad, he played on the banks of the mighty Mississippi. As a youth, he hunted the red deer in the lovely glades of Minnesota and Wisconsin. He soon grew tall and strong and became a famous hunter.
These jaw-breaking names are commended to those who think that the Indian names of northern Maine are difficult to handle. Trees were now growing scarcer, and the wide lowlands spread out before the explorers stretched to the base of the Bitter Root Mountains without trees, but covered with luxuriant grass and herbage.
We found part of the missing papers sewed into the bedding roll of a soldier who happened to be saddled with a jaw-breaking German name, the hangover from some ancestors.

To understand how constant is this preoccupation of good writers, even where its results are least obtrusive, it is only necessary to turn to the bad. There, indeed, you will find cacophony supreme, the rattle of incongruous consonants only relieved by the jaw-breaking hiatus, and whole phrases not to be articulated by the powers of man. Conclusion.
We all expressed our astonishment at this, and declared we never heard of it before. "I thought not," said he, "for it has only lately been introduced into this country, by a particular friend of mine, Dr Mac I cannot just now remember his damned jaw-breaking Scotch name; he was a great chymist and geologist, and all that sort of thing a clever fellow, I can tell you, though you may laugh.
We shall give you five guineas a-day, and pay all your expenses." "Not a bad notion. But what has become of M'Closkie, and the other fellow with the jaw-breaking name?" "Vich-Induibh? I have looked after their interests, as in duty bound, sold their shares at a large premium, and despatched them to their native hills on annuities." "And Sir Polloxfen?" "Died yesterday of spontaneous combustion."
