hits and misses LETTING 00 oh I 1 can understand with ease why misers every dollar squeeze until the poor old eagle squawks and wishes it was made of rocks but its a mystery to me how many mortal coola there be who any time a debt can pay yet howl come round some other day tia not because down and broke and hoping for a lucky stroke but just because they weep with woe when from the dollar they let go I 1 sold my cow to old jim brown who had a million salted down of greenbacks green backs silver coin and gold for heirs to scrap for when hes cold and when I 1 went to get my mon I 1 almost wished I 1 had a gun when this old lobster turned away and said come round some other day I 1 told him flat right then and there that hed be minus hide and hair if sixty plunks he pay without another ticks delay and so he shelled it out to me and then his face lit up with glee the thing that hurt and pained him so was merely simply letting go oh when you have the coin to pay why say come back another day dish up the lucre with a smile and make the business stunt worth while
