“My home was in New York,” said he.
“What did you do?” she asked.
“I was in the commission business,” he replied, “but I grew ashamed.”
“You deserve a reward,” said she, “choose one!”

Sandy’s Story
I used to live in New Jersey when I was young, in a place called Lopatcong Mills. I was workin in the mills. There was two other fellers workin there with me and we was about the same age, size and build, as you might say.
One of the fellers was Sam Harkness and the other Enos Kerber. Enos was all for gittin married. He was e’enamost crazy about gals, and I guess he pestered ’em some. Anyhow he didn’t seem to get along very fast gittin married.
