grow it around here If the season hap

think I will hold on to my dough and
see if / can't make me little piece
of money this fall"

'T got all the talk about the war

hear any way" grunted Ben Ochs, the
butcher "It is a foolishness. For why
should give more money so Yankee
soldiers can be kept over in Cher

OF setting Ben Ochs right would prob
ably have set itself right. But the
/ dog fight drew 'em all into the half
lighted street and by the time the
two pups had been hammered apart
the gang that poured out of Jackson's
