"Yours trooly," muttered that worthy, as he picked up the "makin's". "Heard the news about Hicky Rogers?" he asked, while he rolled a cigarette. "Nothin', except he's a crooked little snipe," Blister answered. "Huh! that ain't news," said the boy. "They've ruled him off that's what I mean." "That don't surprise me none," Blister stated. "He's been gettin' too smart around here fur quite a while.
This baron'll cost me more'n that sign I showed you coming out of the old town, and he won't give any such returns, but the crest on them jars, printed in three colours and gold, will be a bully ad; and it kept the women quiet," he concluded, apologetically. "The baron's a good fellow," said Percival. "Sure," replied Higbee. "They're all good fellows. Hank had the makin's of a good fellow in him.
"Wait till I get the makin's 'n' I'll tell you," he said, as he got up and entered a stall. "One winter I'm swipin' fur Jameson," he began, when he returned with tobacco and papers. "We ships to New Awlins early that fall. We have twelve dogs half of 'em hop-heads 'n' the other half dinks. "In them days I ain't much bigger 'n a peanut, but I sure thinks I'm a clever guy.
It shows that you hev all the makin's o' them opty-mists, the bunch o' people to which I belong. I never heard that word till three or four years ago, when I wuz listenin' to a preacher in a minin' camp, an' it kinder appealed to me. So I reckoned I would try to live up to it an' make o' myself a real opty-mist. I been workin' hard at it ever sence, an' I think I'm qualifyin'."
"The Lord ain't shaken Susanna hard enough yet," thought Brother Ansel shrewdly from his place in the rear. "She ain't altogether gathered in, not by no manner o' means, because of that unregenerate son of Adam she's left behind; but there's the makin's of a pow'ful good Shaker in Susanna, if she finally takes holt!" "What manner of life is my husband living, now that I have deserted him?
Slim shadowed Katherine so closely and volunteered so gallantly to do all her dinner chores that she relented in the middle of the afternoon and brought out the brown and white "makin's" that Slim's sweet tooth so delighted in. The Captain looked at them and jeered as he went past on his way down to the landing.
"Y'got the price?" "I ain't got even the makin's only an ingrowin' cravin' fer spiritual licker an' a hankerin' to see America first " "That hoss," the proprietor jerked a thumb toward the open door beyond which the big rangy black pawed fretfully at the street. "Mebbe we might make a trade. I got one good as him 'er better. It's that sor'l standin' t'other side of yourn."
"Yes, we got a sheriff, and we got a jail, and a judge all the makin's of law. But we ain't got one thing that goes with it, and that's justice. You'd best make up your mind like the cor'ner's jury done, that Fred Thurman was drug to death by his horse. That's all that'll ever be proved, and if you can't prove nothing else you better keep your mouth shut."
If some o' the families high up in the gullies are ignorant, it's because they've had no schoolin', not because they haven' got the makin's o' good citizens; if they're a bit careless about religion, it's because they've had no churchin', an' if they don' pay much heed to law, it's because the law has never done much for them.

"It's nothin' but what ye desarve, avick! an' more nor that yer the makin's of a clargy I'm guessin'?" "I am," said I, "surely designed for that." "I declare I feel much the same towards you," I returned, for the fellow in spite of me was gaining upon my good opinion; "you are a decent, civil soul."
