Show A new comek in a Texas town always enjoys himself. After spending spend-ing a short timo looking around the place, he grows weary and finally asks the clerk of the hotel if there is any chance ot having fun that day. And the clerk, scratching his head a moment, says: "Well, I dun no. I reckon we can get up something for you before night. Haven't been shot at yet, havo you? No! Oh, well, you will be aoou. Just loaf around the streets a little while, and even if you aint shot at yourself, you can dodge tho buliets intended for some other person. Maybe you might object ob-ject to its coming in that way, sort o' second-handed, you know, if you do, why wait a little while, and I'll go out with you, and I guess we can get up something real lively." Two minutes afterward that man is studying study-ing the lime-table for the leaving time of the next train, and not even the cletk's promise to lei him carry the revolver that ho shot a man with last week, can keep the guest in town over night. |
