Boone goes 'n' drops a nickel down the chute, but she don't put it in the right side 'n' it trickles down into the box.

Why don't you try to get him to come out here? "They argue a while 'n' then it's thought best to send fur Alf Dingle. But Orphy has took the street-car 'n' went. "'That's the way it goes, says the old Jasper they call colonel. 'He's a-chasin' around town with that car instead of stayin' here tendin' to his business!
