"Look at the infarnal thing!" exclaimed the trapper, in disgust. "Who'd a thort there'd 've been any of the warmints about, whin we took sich pains with our fire. Why the chap didn't send a piece of cold lead into each of our bread-baskets is more nor I can tell. It would've sarved us both right."
Uncle Israel looked at him for a moment, and then replied, "The Lord knows, I suppose, but Israel don't." "Did they suffer at all?" asked St. Leon. "Not as long as I stuck to them, but they sarved me real mean," answered Uncle Israel. "In what way?" "Why, you see," said Uncle Israel, "I don't know why, but somehow I never thought of matrimony till I got a glimpse of Ada at her father's vandue.
And here I am, under another safe Commander.

His soap had hardly stiffened afore it ran right back to lye and grease agin. I was sarved the same way, I liked to have missed my pension, the Committee said I warn't at Bunker's hill at all, the villans.
