"Is that so? What sort of a man was he? " " One of our best salesmen." " Did he smoke, drink and chew?" "He did." "Stop nt all the be3t hotels?" "Yes." "Take sleepers and parlor cars?" " Yes." "Well, then, it must be that when he struck that fat grocer at Troy he won $25 at draw poker, where I lost it.
