the two travelling bags in the seat in front
and rushed out. 4 few miles further on

at 10 o'clock last Saturday night Between

sH0ULDERING 4 PICK.
what Would Happen if Thrcnt Were
GArricM Ont Orion ~ MnNn.

Carried out as often as Made.
whenever discussion as to the failure of
some unfortunate to make decent living
is in progress, there is usually heard the
remark: 81 would rather take pick (or
shovel on my shoulder and go out to
work" There is a lofty and independent
flavor about this sentiment that causes 1t
to be received with approval, says the Wash
ington Post. Without stopping to consider
whether or not such a proceeding is practi-
cable, the audience ahsorbs the idea as
something eminently correct and worthy of
admiration.
One thing in this connection Is overlooked,
aud that is that neither the person who
formulatCs the scheme nor the persons who
have heard it uttered have ever tried the
thing itself. pick is not an article of
scientific appearance, but should any ireX-
perienced individual undertake the manip-
ulatcn of one, he will make a number OF
discoveries. Five minutes of swinging n
pick will make pair of twenty-pound
dumbbells appear insignificant and the
handling of them Childs play
Aside from the actual inability Of one UNI
accustomed to handling the instrument to do
any serious amount Of work with it there are
after effects-sore hands, stiff joints, dis
able1 muscles, ard an unconquerable desire
the next day to refrain from eXertion The
shovel is worse than the pick In the first
burst Of enthusiasm it can be operated some
what longer, perhaps, without painting and
getting short-winded, but the next day there
is the same feeling of forlornness, the same
disabled hands, the same stif joints, the
Same rigid muscles, and in addition a back
which cannot be made to assume the per-
pendicular without great effort and some
pain.
The theory Of going out to work with pick
or shovel is beautiful and high-sounding, but
the practical application is another affair alto
gether, Besides there is an additional item
in the matter which mas cluded the obServa-
tion of the shovel or pick bearer. Work even
for experienced hands is not always to be
found. There are hundreds probably thou
sands of men expert in the use Ct the shovel
or pick seeking work unavlilin2ly. what
chance would one who knows notiSng about
such work have to display his ignorance and
incapacity? manly and proper independ-
e:Ice is fine thing but the shovel business
should not be entered into lightly II should
be approached with caution and examined
with intelligence. Only strong and able
bodied men should prank with the pick or
shovel. Unless you are fit for hard work,
shy at these implements. Picking and shovel
ling are honorable and necessary Vacations.
but as a means of demonstrating independ-
ence, unless accompanied by physical ability,
they should be avoided. Make due study of
the proposition. weigh the chances Of success,
and having fully mastered the situation-uu-
