Two townsmen have just had bit OF
experience in the fallibility of hiring
any man that happens along. "Fll leave
my budget by the roadside until l see
how like the man and the place." said
one. He got nights lodging and two
square meals after being hired, and vam-
oOsed. The other was entertained over
Sunday, went to the woods Monday
morning with his employers new axe
and pail of dinner, and hasn't been
seen hereabouts since-nor the axe.
Now the que, tiOn arises as to who has
the more human nature, the men who
hired them or the itinerants who HAP
pened along"
Two transfers, inexperienced, had

dark before help came from the house.
The other broke the shaft out of his
sleigh and was trying to make one out OF
a tree by the roadside.
