81 calculate ! couldn't drive trade
with you to day. said a true specimen
of the Yankee pedler, as he stood at
the door Of a merchant in maine
street.


" / calculate you calculate about
right, for you cannot" was the
sneering reply.


Wal guess you needn't get
hufy about it. Now here's dozen
real genuine razor strops worth two
dollars and balf-you may have 'em
for two dollars"
tell you don't want any of your
trash; so you had better be going.


Wal now, ! declare! I'll bet YOU
FIVE dollars if you made me an offer for
them ase strops, we'll have a trade
yet"
