The capitalists at the capitol are mightler

brought forth a wonderful baby in Ohio.

a great work and effected much good and

anceS. he renamed only one nigh
in the city, and was soon in search o
work among the farmers. Severa
weeks passed, and he was still unsuc
cessiul. He went to the house of g
wealthy farmer, man of shrewd but
kindly character, and said to him in
effect:
1" l need work, and at any price to
make beginning on. can't lie idle
l am tired of tramping. Have you
got room for one more hand ?"
NO." said the farmer. II am tired
of tramps, and / have help enough"
81 am no tramp" said the man
quietly, sand l will work, if you will
let me, without wages, and for only
my board and lodging, until such
time as there is vacancy, or l can
get work elsewhere"
This was the gist of what was said,
translated, on the part OF the Norwe-
gian, from his imperfect English, and
the farmer told him to go TO work,
deciding in his own mind to see what
sort of metal was in the tall, fair
haired Norwegian.
The days went by in toll and glad
ness, and the farmer found that his
free hand" as he called him, was the
best man on the rancho. lie was the
earliest up, the busiest at all times,
and in no sense an eye server. Always
merry, his tolk-songs of home, and
his stories of that weired northern
land grew more interesting as his
knowledge of our language advanced.
Moreover, he was no eye.servant, but
gave the working hours of the day
to his employer with rare fidelity.
Two months went by in this sort of
way. The farmer began to feel
ashamed OF himself for keeping with
out wages the man who was evident
ly the best workman in the neighbour
hood, and the most careful of his en-
ployer's interest. 1t pays to have
such a man." he said TO himself. sit |
is absurd to think of letting him go
at any time" f -
So the farmer paid him fair wages,
dating from the day he stepped on
the ranch, which was honorable back
pay, and engaged him for one year,
the bargain to terminate then, unless
the same satisfaction was given.
Our Norwegian remained no less
than seven years on this one farm,
himself more and more nec-
