By common consent we had named them Clarence and Clarice Frontispiece
Evidently he believed the conspiracy against him was widespread 21
There was not a turkey trotter in the bunch 35
He'd garner in some fellows that wasn't sheep-herders 61
Because a man has a soul is no reason he shouldn't have an appetite 73
He was a regular moving picture cowboy and gave general satisfaction 87
The boy who sells you a paper and the youth who blackens your shoes

Even the place where the turkey trot originated was trotless and quiet 143
The woman nearest the wall has on her furs--it is always cool in the
shade 155
It's a great thing out there to be a native son 169
