To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mr. Potter is able to walk by using two canes, aqd Mr. Coles is able to "go it alone." It was entertaining to listen to these old patriarchs talk over " j'e olden times.'' Some characteristics: Mr. Potter says he never used whiskey to any extent. He said he used to take a little "applejack" when he worked in the harvest field, but he never made it a practice to drink anything in the way of intoxicants. He has never used tobacco. He has never taken a dose of medicine in his life, and never emplo...yed a physician but once. He related that he had cut his leg and the physician upon whom he called to sew it up made such a bungling job of it that he vowed he would never have anything to do with doctors again, and he has scrupulously kept his vow. He re- garded doctors as humbugs ; was in the habit of going to bed early, and getting up at five o'clock. He used to weigh 144 pounds when young, and butch- ered hogs with the best of them. He was a shoerciaker by trade, and also a farmer and lumber merchant.
