3 o'clock
Folks that live here tell me that they do most of their business by telephone in the daytime , and then do their runnin ' around at night , but I 've got apast that . Time was when I could run around nights and then mow all day , but I ca n't do it now . People that leads a suddentary life , I s ` pose , demands excitement , and at night they will have their fun ; but take a man like me -- he wants to transact his business in the daytime by word o ' mouth , and then go to bed . He do n't want to go home at 3 o'clock with a plug hat full of digestive organs that he never can possibly put back just where they was before . `` No , I do n't want to run down a big city like New York and nuther do I want to be run down myself . They tell me I can go up town on this side and take the boat so as to get to Jersey City that way , and I 'm going to do it ruther than to go home with a neck yoke run through me . Folks say that Jurden is a hard road to travel , but I 'm positive that a man would get jerked up and fined for driving as fast there as they do on Broadway ; and then another thing , I s ` pose there 's a good deal less traffic over the road .
