Don't tell all you know

     "From Texas?"

    "From a lot of places. what's on your mind, Goff? You opened, an' I called you. Now what have you got?"

    Goff laughed. "Smart! he said, smiling. "I like that. Men who don't tll all they know are few and far between."

    "When I was a boy," Hopalong said quietly, "I used to hear tht a fool's tongue was long enough to cut his throat."
