Jasper County Democrat, Volume 6, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 December 1903 — Uncle Reuben Says: [ARTICLE]

Uncle Reuben Says:

“Dar was a time in my life when I would hev jumped In an* hit any man who called me a liar, but arter gittin’ licked a half-dozen times I found it was cheaper to bring philosophy to be’r on de case. 1 was either a liar or I wasn’t. If I was, den it was no insult to tell me so; If I wasn’t, den it was easy to say dot de man was a no-account an’ walk away an’ leave him to dun wonder if he hadn’t made a mistake.” —Detroit Free Press.
