Treating Them Alike.

Laudable as the desire to make every
one feel pleasant is, there is a point
beyond which it can scarcely be COM
mended. Sam Bassett was one OF the
hardest and best workers in Green
Vile and in harvest time he earned
large wage by hiring out" as he had
no farm of his own, TO the various
farmers who needed extra help. Sam:
chief fault was his apparent inability
to refuse to do anything for any one
who asked him.
Once, when farm-hands were scarce
one man had secured Sans service al
the beginning of the harvest. The
first day, while the two were at work.
another farmer came up and asked
Sam to help him the next day.

Sam. encouragingly.
Presently another farmer came
along. asked the same question aud re-
ceived the same answer.
The farmer for whom he was work.
ing was somewhat indignant and
amazed at Sans evident intention 10
assist three different people on the
same day.
SAM said he, "wbat do you
c~al'late to do? First you promised to
help me tomorrow and now you've
agreed to help two others. What do
you mean?"
