...bulls are the next hardest, particularly as the saddle is put as far back as possible "to get everything that's in the bull in the way of a buck, out". The most famous of these animals was Sharkey, who was black, weighted a ton and a half, and prior to 1914 had thrown every man that got on his back in less than six seconds. In 1914, however, Mr. Furlong succeeded in keeping in the saddle for more than 10 seconds, thus establishing a record and gaining the world's rough-riding championship for that year--the reward which...

The question whether the dates on the earlier publication were omitted by accident or because they were prepared in advance is one on which historian will draw their own conclusions...
Humor benighted in a wilderness of words. Philosophy as ancient sit is petty a more frequent use of capitals than custom (aristocratic custom, but custom nevertheless) allows--that is the Proletarian who for the first time wipes the dust from his shoes and steps into the prior. Nor does he seem a quite at home, naturally enough. Fingers that are more used to the aigrette, than to the pen do not response easily to the new demands; his humor somehow lacks that airy step of one who is well-fed and content with the universe.
