Mother used to say, 'If you're a good dog, you will be happy. If you're not, you won't, but it seems to me that in this world it is all a matter of luck. When I did everything I could to please people, they wanted to shoot me; and when I did nothing except run away, they brought me back and treated me better than the most valuable prize-winner in the kennels.
He was carried off by the plague, at nine years of age, last winter at Kinnaird. "Druid" was a great prize-winner, and gained more than £100 in his different journeys, and a host of medals. The Kelso heifers were very superior, and "Quadrona" gained the first prize at Smithfield in the female polled class.
One look at him at close range in the clear light of day was enough for Madeline to award him a blue ribbon over all horses, even her prize-winner, White Stockings. The cowboy's great steed was no lithe, slender-bodied mustang. He was a charger, almost tremendous of build, with a black coat faintly mottled in gray, and it shone like polished glass in the sun.
'The most unredeemed thing in nature, was a true remark I once heard made of one; and yet there is no dog more devoted to his master, or more gentle to the children of his own household. "I remember a little white terrier of my mother's, a celebrated prize-winner, and of the old Eggesford breed, called 'Spite. Before I married she was my special dog, and used to sleep in my room.
She, the prize-winner of her class, was not going to be snubbed by her cousins. "As long as the words rhyme, it doesn't matter what the rest is like." To Kitty that seemed neither the time nor the place to argue with Anna, so she let the subject drop. "Now then, Betty." "I know so many," said Betty very anxiously, "that they seem to be all jumbled up in my head, and I can't get one quite right.
The Thompsons was there and the Smalls and a whole lot more. All of a sudden Rogers walks up the steps and reaches over and makes fast to the plate. "Look out!" hollers the prize-winner, frantic. "You'll drop it!" Adoniram grunted. "Huh!" says he. "'Tain't nothing but a blue dish. I've got a whole closet full of them." "WHAT?" yells everybody. And then: "Will you sell 'em?"
We notice chiefly the exception namely, the lucky prize-winner in the lottery and take but little thought about the losers, who vanish from our field of observation, and whose number it is often impossible to estimate. But, in this question of design, the losers are important witnesses. If the maxim 'audi alteram partem' is applicable anywhere, it is applicable here.
Peter McGuffie senior came in with the general attention of the audience, and seated himself in a prominent place with Speug beside him. Not that Mr. McGuffie took any special interest in prize-givings, and certainly not because Speug had ever appeared in the character of a prize-winner. Mr.
"Seein' like-es-how her partner vamoosed, she grabbed me to do the Grand March with her. Mebbe it w'ar the way Ah danced, that took her fancy. But whatever it w'ar, she's ben locooed after me sence that night. "Now, John, yuh know Sary ain't no prize-winner fer looks, en Ah knows a good looker when Ah seez one, cuz Ah hev sat and seen lots of pritty gals on the movie sheet in Oak Crick. Gosh!
If the last act keeps up we've got a prize-winner. Who's Edwin Baxter, anyhow?" Helen quietly stirred her tea. "I never heard the name before. A new man in the theatrical world, apparently." "Well, he's all right. I'm going over the whole thing again. Have you read it?" "No, I thought best to let you and Westervelt decide this time. I merely glanced at it."
