Too Much Thrashing.

Country boys who are inclined to

Portable compared with their daily toll
In the country, are apt to find themselves
mistaken when they come to town and
subject themselves to the high-pressure
system Of business establishments An
amusing example Of this sort is related
by country exchange.
A farmers boy went to the city, fnd-
ing the work at home rather tiresome,
and obtained situation in q large "fami-
ly supply store, where crushing bus
inees" was carried on He took hold"
very we'll, and his employers liked
him.
They were surprised. however when
he came to them, before he had been
two months in the store, and said
"Well, Mr.. A., guess I'll have
to get through here next Saturday
night"
"Get through said his employer.
"Why, what's gone wrongi"
"Oh, nothing particular.
Aren't you treated well n

it strikes me. Up on the farm we used
to have the thrashin = machine come
