"Don't hardly seem fair," said Bill with a hitch
Tew his gallus-the other was busted-
"Fer the papers an' all, the public an' sich"- / An' I seen he was kind o' disgusted-
"Ter praise up the workers ter home an' not fitin' / An' gittin' all kinds o' big pay,
An' 'en strikin' fer more-_Whoa thar! Quit yer bitin'! _"-
He was combin' an breshin' ol' Gray-
"When the boys ‘over thar' give up all thet they hed
Ter fite fer thirty bones per"-
An' I couldn't ezzac'ly tell what 'e nex' said, / Fer 'is comb hed ketched in a burr.
