Speeches and jokes.
Thornton in gags new and old scored a tremendous hit and a lot laughed at the old boys louder than at the new ones, for it seemed like hearing from old friends. Jim made a very neat speech at the finish in which he boosted the new policy of the house along with the management. He also said that he was going to stay in the business just seven more years (he has been in it for thirty) and then open a nice little saloon with the money.
