full of company, and feeling secure in the possession of most money,
made the following offer. I will drop money into a hat with any man in
the room. The man who holds out the longest to have the whole and treat
the company.--I'll do it, said a farmer. The swell dropped in half a

swell. I won't, said the farmer; take the whole, and treat the
company.
