"This is a mighty pleasant world!" sighed Dick Prescott, full of luxurious content. "Yes when you have some good friends in the same world with you," Tom added. Dave and Dan slipped away to remove the body of the rabid dog killed during the night.
One incident, which as far as the Lower Fourth was concerned tended considerably to embitter the contest, is worthy of record as a notable feature of this memorable campaign.

Harland broached his favorite topic, and ventured the assertion that now that I was the possessor of taxable property I would become as rabid a single-tax advocate as Henry George himself.
