What's a Kentucky breakfast?
Why, a Kentucky breakfast is a three-pound steak, a bottle of whisky, and a setter dog.

What's the dog for?
Why, to eat the steak, of course.
We come to an agreement.

I was to get two-fifty a head commission.

So I started out.

There wasn't many hosses in that country, and what there was the owners hadn't much use for unless it was to work a whim.
I picked up about a hundred head quick enough, and reported to Dutchy.
"How about burros and mules ?" I asks Dutchy.
"They goes," says he.
