Here, young man, you tick-tack 'em that I want toys children's toys to use up one hundred plunks I want 'em on Number Three and if they don't arrive I will. I will arrive in their little old toy-shop and play with them till they holler for ma. Tell 'em I never felt more impatient in my life than I am this minute, and that I'm getting more so per each and every clock tick.
Over on the Skaguay Trail horseshoe nails is just as good as a quarter any day. A man goes up to the bar and calls for a whiskey. Whiskey's half a dollar. Well, he drinks his whiskey, plunks down two horseshoe nails, and it's O.K. No kick comin' on horseshoe nails. They use 'em to make change." "You must be a brave man to venture into the country again after such an experience.
Hour be hour, as th' prisints ar-re delivered, th' bank rates go up. Th' Threeasury Departmint has to go on a silver basis, there bein' no goold to mannyfacther into plunks. "Inside th' house th' prisints cast a goolden gleam on th' beauchious scene. Th' happy father is seen seated at a table, dictattin' millyion-dollar checks to a stinographer.
"All right," he growled. "I guess my-wandering-boy-to-night is going to beat it again." While he drove to the garage he pondered: "Is it worth twenty-five plunks to me to be able to beat it to-night instead of waiting four days till pay-day? Nope. I'm a poor man."
Of course you remain, because it is more expensive to travel double than single," he snorted, "and I have not the plunks." He embarked into the big world a few days later with his wife's warm kiss burning his lips faithful even in his unfaithfulness.
Honest, I'm stowin' away so much that I never knew before that I'm thinkin' of wearin' a leather strap around my head, same's these strong boys wears 'em on their wrists. "Ah! w'at's the use?" says I. "Nobody's ever goin' to ask me what's four per cent of thoity thousand plunks, an' if I had that much I wouldn't farm it out for less'n six, anyway. And I don't see where this De Soto comes in.
I'll turn over, dearie, and go to sleep again! Twelve thousand plunks! Wouldn't that everlastingly unsettle you? Well, well, well! Not so bad for a moment's effort before breakfast, eh? Ain't it simply grand, Mag? I wonder who and what our friend is, anyway. He wasn't dressed just for the part of bank messenger, though he had the inside lining, all right! A pursy old broker, I guess.

"Sure," said the Bowery boy doggedly, securely mounted now on his favorite hobby horse. "I knows, and youse knows, Mr. Chames. Gee, I wish I'd bin a cop. But I wasn't tall enough. Dey's de fellers wit' de long green in der banks.
He has to skip when he comes to number one on his right mitt. Says he can't get started to count, that way." "Some lucky it ain't his head," replied Williams. "His head? Bud would never miss that. But his pore little ole finger, layin' calm and cold back there. A very sad business, brethren." "I paid twelve sweaty plunks for her in Los and look at her!" cried Pars Long, doffing his sombrero.
"And is that where you invested my few plunks?" I asked, forcing myself to be calm. "That's it," chuckled Uncle Peter, "and that's where Bill Grey has invested $5,000 for Bunch." I excused myself and said I didn't feel like promenading the undertow made me dizzy. I went off by my lonesome and looked across the troubled sea.
