DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Wolfville Folks Which I've told you," observed the Old Cattleman, puffing at his briar pipe - "which I've already told you how Missis Rucker goes on surroundin' old Rucker with connoobial joy to sech a degree that, one mornin' when her wifely back is turned, he ups an' stampedes off into the hills, an' takes refutch with the Apaches. But I never reelates how he gets aroused to his dooty as a husband, an' returns. That mir'cle comes to pass in this wise." Following a reminiscent, smoke-filled pause, the old gentleman continued: "When Rucker is guilty of this yere desertion, Wolfville says nothin' an' does nothin'. It is no part of Wolfville's commoonal respons'bility, as it sees the same, to go pirootin' off on the trail of Rucker, with a purpose of draggin' him back that a-way to his domestic happiness. His elopment is wholly a private play, an' one wharin we ain't entitled to ask for kyards. Shorely not, wantin' speesific requests from Missis Rucker so to do; an' sech don't come.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Wolfville Folks continues the hilarious events of the residents of Wolfville, a small Arizona town, or "camp," as it's called by its residents. The honor of Wolfville reposes in the keeping of the Old Cattleman, who is the narrator of the "doings" of Wolfvillites; to Doc Petts, "the genteelest sharp an' the best eddicated ever dwells in Arizona"; to Sam Enright, "the soul of fairness"; to Cherokee Hall, "predestined kyard sharp"; and other frequenters of the Red Light. This chapter of Wolfville excitement records the disappearance of the landlady's husband, her willingness to install a successor and the alacrity with which the hunting for the lost man begins - Book Review Digest, 1908, Vol 4, pg 220. This is what reviewers of the times said: "Rollicking sketches," ALA Bkl 4 221 Je 08; "We like these gentlemen of imaginative speech and welcome Wolfville Folks," Ind 35 550 S 3 08 100w; "Taking dialect and story together they more nearly than any other we can recall tugs at those muscles of mirth that Artemus Ward first played upon. One feels almost like an Englishman discovering American humor," Nation 86 516 Je 4 08 270w, NY Times 13 210 Ap 11 08 50w; "They are much more interesting and amusing than if they and their purely imaginary dialect were true to life," NY Times 13 304 My 30 08 140w.
