And I 'ain't never cared nothin' about children; always thought they was more bother than they were worth.

And when I changed cars here this mornin', on my way from Lawsons, where I've been to visit my married sister, this young one tagged me onto the train, and nothin' I could say made anybody believe she wa'n't mine.

I told 'em I wa'n't married, but it didn't make no difference.

I call it insultin'.

There I was goin' up to Tarrytown to-day to see my aunt 'Liza.
