“ Johnny looked upon the Deutscher With a bland and childlike smile; Then upon the crowd before him, Who enjoyed the sport meanwhile. "Gentlemen," says Johnny Judkins, "As I said in the beginnin', This 'ere patent liquid polish Will not soil the finest linen. "As for that," says Johnny Judkins,— Pointing where the spot of crock Showed upon Von Puffer's bosom Like a black sheep in a flock,— "As for that," repeated Johnny, "If you call that linen fine, I would merely say, my hearers, Your opinion is not mine." Johnny Judkins still continues Selling blacking by the ton. ”
