They could as easily have arranged to be shipped as plain skinners, or rock men, or muckers." "I'll bet you draw a prize, all right," Heine chuckled disconcertingly. Jerkline Jo postponed the start a day, and awaited the coming of the applicants. As the local passenger train from Los Angeles whistled for Palada, Mr.
"The question is, what are we going to do with the football problem this year? We don't want to play in the same eleven with the cheap muckers, and have 'em think they're the whole eleven. The call for the football training squad is due to go up some time next week." "Bert Dodge says " interrupted Paulson. "Yes, Dodge is the fellow I wish we had here with us today," interposed Bayliss.
Through endless wastes of words I roam to make the Fireside and the Home the nation's shrine and glory; and Purity must ring again in every offspring of my pen, in every screed and story. You say my paper isn't fit for aught but toughs and muckers? That all the fakers come to it when they would fleece the suckers? Your criticism takes the buns! It's surely most surprising!
A broad, white streak of lightning showed the tent from the road as Ripley, armed with the club, drew nearer to it. Fred halted. "They're all asleep, the muckers!" he muttered. "I'm glad of that. Where is that dog? Why doesn't he come around? I'm ready for him now." Fred stole stealthily along, keeping a sharp lookout for the bull-dog.
We're going to ignore the football call next week. If Coach Morton asks us any questions, then we'll let him know how the land lies. We won't try to make the High School team if the muckers are allowed the same show. We'll have a select crowd on the eleven, this year, or else all of our set will stay off."

"You must expect to meet some muckers in this business," she remarked, philosophically, "and you've had so much notoriety, my dear, that the fellow probably wouldn't believe you were all right." Jim agreed. "I guess you'll have to forget it, Sis. Just don't think about it. I'll bring Wharton around to-night, and we four will have supper, eh?"
I am perfectly sure that if such considerations as these were laid before any American soldier who still smarted under that taunt in London streets, his good American sense, which is our best possession, would grasp and accept the thing in its true proportions. He wouldn't want to blot an Empire out because a handful of muckers called him names.
"See here, either we fellows organize the Gridley High School eleven ourselves, and decide who shall play in it, or else we stay out and let the muckers go ahead and pile up a record of lost games this year." "That's hard on good old Gridley High School," murmured Hudson. "True," agreed Fremont.
