LEARN TO LEE WORK.
This That Am Doing Is What Pre-

Ever since Marx Twain showed ms
Tom Sawyer selling, Tor sundry price
considerations. the hitherto undesjr.G
privilege Of embarrassing his aun-'s
fence. we have all had q suspicion tina,
the difference between work and ut.,r
was purely mental. IF we liked work
we have admitted to ourselves, ii would
not be work: but the difficulty has been

The rudimentS of the science are ax

What now, is the truth in regard f.
this matter? 1t is that in reality you
would not do anything else but wash

that you prefer clean dishes to soiIad
