HE PREFERRED OPEN WAR.
Westener (in eastern city)— ‘ Yes, I’m gettin’ sort o’ tired o’ western life : and as I’m purty well fixed, I says to myself I guess I’ll come east an’ settle down. Who lives in all them fine houses?’ Resident —‘ Well, most of those fine handsome residences you refer to are occupied by eminent lawyers and judges.’ ‘Lawyers? Does lawyers here get as rich as that ? By gum ! How many is there ?’ ‘Lawyers? Oh, I presume there are about a thousand here.' ‘By gum ! It’s goin’ to cost too much to live peaceably here. I guess I will go back to where folks carry guns.’
