ield with hoe in his hand, hoeing
potatoes.
The Judge was man of few words,
and soon brought Mr.. Tarbox to a

sYes, but he didn't give it to me-
He made me paw dollar for it. Now,
that's what call swindliDg.'
You may call it what you please; but
it is no more swindling than for you
to charge a dollar for bushel of corn
