The Government puts the land at a dollar and a quarter an acre, wid your courage and fightin' strength and quickest wits, and by and by your heart's blood and a grave wid no top cover, like a fruit tart, sometimes, let alone a tomb-stone, as the total cost av the prairie sod.

He was a regular grave-yard doctor, and I thought it a pity to set up the deacon's tomb-stone while yet he breathed. When Deacon Grover saw Louis he tried to speak.
