To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For instance, the reply of "you bet," made by a San Francisco burglar to the "you get" of the householder who held a cocked "six-shooter" at his head . I might also add here the story of a no- torious Calif ornian gambler. During the funeral service the hearse-horses became restive and start- ed off prematurely with the rest of the mourners in pursuit. When the horses had been stopped and the last sad rites were concluded, the friends of the deceased wrote his widow a letter acquaint- ing her w...ith the fact that they had given her dead husband a good send-off, and that although the unpleasant occurrence, which they described, somewhat marred the solemnity of the occasion, it gave them a melancholy satisfaction to inform her that "the corpse won." This illustrates the humorous but irreverent style in which California newspaper men described events of the most serious nature.
AMERICAN HUMOR 25 If we are to take the criticisms of our English friends, American humor has at last blossomed on the dry stalk of our national life, and Artemus Ward is its perfect flower.
