In a second he had got hold of the feller's neck with his big right hand and hooked his left into the cloth on his hip.

"What do you think you are worth to a man who ain't got no authority to do any hirin'?" said Calumet. "Ain't you the boss?" said Dade, disappointedly. "The boss is a woman.

"'She'll want to sleep on that, said he; 'it'll be a good thing for her to sleep on it. She mayn't like it at first, but I'll go at her ag'in to-morrer, and I'm goin' to stick to it. I reckon it'll be the worst rassle we ever had; but it's blackgum ag'in' thunder, and I'm blackgum. "When Abner reached his chamber he found his wife sitting quietly by the table, on which burned a lamp.
Thin he tells me how much he cares f'r me an' proposes to rassle me an' weeps to think how bad he threats his wife an' begs me niver to marry, f'r a bachelor's life's th' on'y wan, an' 'tis past two o'clock whin I hook him on a frindly polisman an' sind him thrippin' th' polisman down th' sthreet.

Abe, you show the gentleman where to put his horses an' lend him a hand." Abe extended his long arm toward Samson and said "Howdy" as they shook hands. "When his big hand got hold of mine, I kind of felt his timber," Samson writes. "I says to myself, 'There's a man it would be hard to tip over in a rassle." "What's yer name? How long ye been travelin'? My conscience!
"The minister got off his hoss and hitched him and took off his coat and put it on the ground. "'What you goin' to do? I says. "'Me? says the minister.
