Well, when I had worked about half an hour, taking down his guff, he turns to me and says, 'Say, lend me a dollar.' 'I haven't got but forty cents,' I replied.

But he didn't weaken.

'Well, let me have that,' says he.

'You've got job and I haven't, you know.' And he robbed me.

I've got to go out now and see a business jay from Peoria.
