sometimes that way and sometimes the other way. I would say,
"I owe you fifteen cents, I buy three beers, and you owe me
fifteen cents, and that be three beers." I say if I would be in
the beer saloon when they come in there, I would do that, but if
I could get out before they saw me, I would be gone. I never
did know what time the watchman come there on Saturday, or any

didn't ring in, I knew they paid $4.10 a day, all the time.
No, they didn't pay me by the clock punches, they paid me by
the day, they paid me 11½ an hour. Sometimes I would punch
the clock when I got there, that was my duty. Sometimes I was
not when I didn't work. I don't know how that happened, but Mr.
