woe, 81 the Hired Man.

Woes OF the Hired Man.
Spring Is the season when the hired
man begins his weary rounds. After
alternating through the winter season
he goes TO work refreshed and inyig-
GRATED. His outfit consists of some to-
bacco and several hickory shirts, and
some more tobacco, and W pairs OF
overalls, and some more tobacco, and a
lot of tobacco. He has few comforts
in life when he begins to work. He
has long hours and plenty of them.
Darkness rests upon the face of the
earth when the hired man crawls
yawnlng from his couch and dons his
purple and fine linen and goes TO the
barn TO curry his horses and milk cows
and feed hogs and water the humble
bees. He has done n fairly good days
work before sunrise, but all that he has
accomplished comes under the head OF
chores.
Darkness Is again on the face OF the
earth when the hired man retlres to his
couch. Toe often that couch Is the re-
verse of d0wny. Too often Is the tick
stuffed with corn cobs and the pillow
like n wooden ham. Very often when
the hired man is falling in a pleasant
slumber, dreaming that he Is dead, the
Stats of the bed all come down at once
and dump him on the floor; and then
he has to sleep the rest of the night
with his head on the floor and his feet
higher than the window, and In the
morning he gets a roast for breaking
down the furniture. In many homes
the hired man is regarded ms a sort of
nh outcast; II there is a musty old loft
In the house that has TO be reached by
a ladder the hired man is expected to
sleep there.
Nobody ever offers to sew any of his
buttons on for him, and pretty soon he
has to hold up his trousers with pieces
Of barb wire and tie his shirt together
with binding Irvine, and he spends
time that ought to be devoted to the
corn in keeping his clothes from slid
ing off. At many farm houses 1t is con-
sidered n sinful extravaganza to use
soap except OH Sunday morning. The
people wash themselves Mt the pump in
water hard enough to be cut into nails.
We heard of a hired man who dlslikel
this sort Of thing, and he bought a big
cake of tar soap for his W use; his
employer said that he didn't want any
iudes about the place and fired him.
