Selected Works of Wilbur C. Tuttle
I still contend that Magpie Simpkins is too finicky. It’s all right for a feller to desire to appear to a good advantage, especially on Sunday, but a finicky person hadn’t ought to pack a gun at a time when he’s just acquired something out of the ordinary in haberdashery. New boots don’t mean nothing but misery to me. They could set diamonds all the way around the sole, but just the same she don’t spell nothing but blisters and cramps to Ike Harper. Anyway, I’m so bow-legged that my heels have got to be run over on the outside edges before I can be comfortable around the knees. Magpie paid twenty dollars for them yaller boots. They was glowing with youth, vitality and shiny polis...
Loco or Love
Excerpt: ""If you'd 'a' cooked them two eggs at the same time, 'Magpie,' mine wouldn't 'a' rolled off on the floor and busted," says I, sad-like, looking at the remains. Magpie Simpkins rises his full height, which is some elevation, and glares at me. "Ike Harper," says he, "tend to your own cooking. A person what is as ungrateful as you are can't partake of my cooking, neither will I break bread with such as he." I got my boots on, cooks me some bacon, and eats as far from that hombre as the room allows. A house divided can't ring with harmony, and love has put a breach as wide as the Grand Cañon between me and Magpie. The little feller with the bow and arrer has rasped us raw. Magpie is the sheriff of our county, and I'm his deputy. Me and that scantling-shaped hombre have been pardners ever since gold was discovered on bedrock, and this is the first rift in our lute. Of course there has been discords, but this is the first time that the strings have all been busted!"
Upside Down or Backwards
Excerpt: ""Well, she ain't changed an awful lot since I left," remarks Magpie Simpkins, as he cuddles his long legs up under his chin and tilts his chair against the side of the cabin. "You can't expect no big changes in uh wilderness like this in thirty days," says I, and he nods emphatic like and spits at uh lizard. "The East looks good, Ike," he proclaims. "Did the East look good to you or did you look good to the East?" I asks. "Seems to me that you gets uh heap civilized in thirty days. What's the idea uh that hard hat?" "Last word in head-gear, Ike," he states, picking the yaller, pot-shaped thing off the ground, and patting it affectionate like. "They calls 'em Darby hats. Did yuh notice that green and red shirt in my valise? I annexes that in Chicago, Ill., U. S. A., and she sure is uh humdinger. Got uh necktie pin in that valise, too, that only assessed me ten dollars and eighty-five cents, and nobody what never seen uh real diamond could tell the difference.""
