The question OF remuneration for labor,
always a mooted one, is susceptible Of being
viewed from various standpoints.
In a small community In Texas where
water is hard to find Mr.. Henderson, the
owner OF a WELL fitted out with a patent
pump, was a person Of consequence. II
was also a matter of public concern when
the pump got out OF gear and refused to
perform its proper functions.
All the men in the locality spent the
day in Hendersons back yard consulting
and "tinkering," Jointly and severally, at
the pump, but oil to no avail
Finally along came a young fellow, Joe
Brady by name, from a neiEhboring ranch.
He looked the pump over thought a couple
OF minutes and inside of two minutes more
had it in working order again. Appreciation
was general.
Just name your price, Joe, my boy"
said the owner of the pump heartily.
Joe considered bit and then said that
he guessed S would be about right
There was a change at this, and remarks
OF a different nature from appreciation were
freely lndulged In.
"Now, see here. Joe" said the aggrleved
Henderson, thought you was a square kind
of a chap. That amt any white mans

appears that the outrage was due to the
