When the names have a meaning the children will want signs, i.e. figures. In teaching children to count, the decimal system should be kept well in mind, and the teacher should see that thirteen means three-ten, and that the children can touch the three and the ten as they speak the word. Eleven and twelve ought to be called oneteen and twoteen, half in joke.
My poor old horse is bleeding dreadfully from the mouth. He has two bullets in the stomach, and I do not believe he can stand much longer. They have let up for the last few moments, but are still riding around us, their guns at 'ready. Every now and then one of us fires, but the heat shimmer has come up over the ground since noon and the range is extraordinarily deceiving. "Three-ten.
"Three pounds is a good deal for six prints," he murmured, "but, to get it off my mind, I'll spring to guineas." "Make it three-ten and they're yours." "Three guineas is my absolute limit," said Furneaux. "Done!" cried Elkin. The original debt was under two pounds, so he had cleared more than fifty per cent. on the transaction, and was plus a number of chairs and a table.
Waddington raised his hammer to knock the chest down, but was met with a storm from all quarters of the room. "Two-ten!" "Three!" "Three-ten!" "Four!" "Four-ten!" "Five!" "Six pounds!" "Seven!"

If it was real sable it was wicked, and if it was not she was acting a lie."
"Well, Abe, as a matter of fact," he said, "I ain't canceled that order altogether absolutely, y'understand. Maybe if you make inducements I might reconsider it." "Inducements!" Abe cried. "Inducements is nix. Them gowns costs us three dollars apiece, and we give 'em to you for three-ten. If we make any inducements we land in the poorhouse. Ain't it?"
At three-five a cardinal arrives with his attendants; later some bishops; then a number of archdeacons all in striking colors that add to the show. At three-ten a procession of priests passed along, with crucifix.
So it was that at three-ten Jock McChesney took himself, his hopes, his dread, and his smart walrus bag aboard a train that halted and snuffed and backed, and bumped and halted with maddening frequency. But it landed him at last in a little town bearing the characteristics of all American little towns.
And, as Bellamy made no response, "First time I ever saw him absorbed by a letter," he remarked: "Best one I've had for six months," said Bellamy, looking up. "That young brother of mine's coming down by the three-ten." "Rolling down, you mean," said Caldegard. "Can't roll any longer covered with moss," retorted Bellamy. "Aunt Jenny died and didn't leave me a cent."
