"'I seem to perceive, says I, 'a kind of hiatus in the agrarian traditions in which heretofore, I have reposed confidence. "'Sure, Bunk, says he. 'The yellow primrose on the river's brim is getting to look to us Reubs like a holiday edition de luxe of the Language of Flowers with deckle edges and frontispiece. "Just then the telephone calls him again. "'Hello, hello! says he.
There's enough Reubs walk down Broadway in one hour to buy up a week's output of the factory in Augusta, Maine, that makes Knaughty Knovelties and the little Phine Phun oroide gold finger ring that sticks a needle in your friend's hand. You'd think New York people was all wise; but no. They don't get a chance to learn. Everything's too compressed. Even the hayseeds are baled hayseeds.
"Senator Fogarty is my good friend. I won't let you question his honor, although you do presume to question mine." "Of course he's your friend; that's why he's fixed you for this New York job. He's not like these Reubs; he remembers a good turn and blows back with another. He's a real politician." "'Department of Water Supply, Gas, and Electricity," sneered Peter.
"All right," said Ranse. "I reckon you're a maverick for certain. I'm going to put the Rancho Cibolo brand on you. I'll start you to work in one of the camps to-morrow." "Work!" sniffed Curly, disdainfully. "What do you take me for? Do you think I'd chase cows, and hop-skip-and-jump around after crazy sheep like that pink and yellow guy at the store says these Reubs do? Forget it."

"Not me!" denied the self-satisfied Fraser. "There ain't a chance. Why? Because I'm on the level, I am. That's why. But say, getting money from these Reubs is a joke. It's like kicking a lamb in the face." He clinked some gold coins in his pocket and began to whistle noiselessly. "When do we pull out for Chi?" he next inquired. "We?" said Emerson. "I told you I would take you as far as Seattle.
The punchers gathered around in delight. For the time they had forgotten tobacco. Curly looked around him slowly in every direction. He snarled like a Scotch terrier through his ragged beard. "Where is this?" he rasped through his parched throat. "It's a damn farm in an old field. What'd you bring me here for say? Did I say I wanted to come here? What are you Reubs rubberin' at hey?
"Not for me, sport," he said, firmly. "I don't go against that make-up of yours for a cent. But I still say you've overdone it. The Reubs haven't dressed like that since '79. I doubt if you could work Brooklyn for a key-winding watch with that layout." "Oh, you needn't think I ain't got the money," boasted Haylocks.
It's nearly as bad as Broadway." We explained what Giddings and Tolliver had been doing. "But," said he, "do you mean to tell me that he's sold that Addition to this crowd of reubs?" "He most certainly has," said Cornish. "Well, fellows," replied Jim, "put away the accounts of this as curiosities!
