"When Josiah read my dedication he said "it was a shame to dedicate a book that it had took most a full bottle of ink to write, to a lot of creeters that he wouldn"t have in the back door yard." But I explained it to him, that I didn"t mean tramps with broken hats, variegated pantaloons, ventilated shirt-sleeves, and barefooted. But I meant tramps with diamond ear-rings, and cuff-buttons, and Saratoga trunks, and big accounts at their bankers....."
