 Mighty tough luck, call it." said the disconsolate-lookin young man.
 Well, I guess you might call it that" agreed the philosopher with the brier pipe. Tt never happened to you before. did it?"
 'I sh'd say not" said the young man. How often do you think . thing like that is going to happen to g man?"
 T don't suppose that particular thing would happen very often" said the philosopher with the brier pipe, but in general way misfortunes will happen and after awhile you get used to them. You can get used to any thing, and once you do get used to it you don't mind it. You won't get roped in just that way again, but you'll get roped i3 some other way, and pretty soon you'll kind of look for 1t, and when it happens you won't say much more than That's what I ex- pected' So the old man bunkoed you, did he?"
 Yes. sir" replied the young man. Right on top of that I got the bounce"
 You'll get used to that" said the philosopher. You won't mind 1t near. ly so much after you've been hunting it week or two. I knew a fellow once who was fired from almost every l job be got. The first time he felt mighty bad about it and went around thinking he was disgraeed, but in a year from then if he stayed month in one place and wasn't fired he'd ! quit anyway. It's all what you're used to-
 How long do you think it would ! take for you to learn to ike it?" sneered the young man.
 T couldn't say" replied the phil osopher. 'I never tried it myself, but I've had lots of other misfortunes. ! lost a pair of overshoes yesterday. guess I've lost more pairs of over shoes than anybody else in the coun- try. I take them off somewhere and then go away and leave 'em, and for ! get where You see, my feet get too warm. 1 don't mean to say that's anything serious, but it's happened to me so often that 1 hardly notice it now. I just go and buy me another 1 pair of overshoes. But can remem' Der the first pair lost and was sick over it."
 Maybe you didn't have the money to go and buy you another pair in them days" suggested the young l man.
 That may be true. too." said the philosopher. But you can get used | to being without money. It's incon venient, but it's inconvenient to go without eating for a meal or two You can get used to that and be the better for it. When you talk about eating there's the things that you eat I can eat more burned steak and sour heavy bread and not mind it than anybody you ever saw. Why? Be cause live out where you can't hire a cock for love or money. Even the poor ones quit, and I've got so used to their quitting that it doesn't put me out. We have to bear things which are very painful to us at first, but our feelings get blunted. Perhaps too, our troubles are imaginary to { great extent I saw a lumber-ja who'd just been paid of sit down ir restaurant and after looking al over the bill-of.fare order pork anC beans.
 I've been kicking on pork anC beans for the last two months ht told me, but I don't see anything hert that I want more, after all. Some how, I just feel like pork and beanI now"
 T won't call for any more deali like I got," said the young man. "Yol can bet on that"
 You'll get married some of thest days, shouldn't wonder" pursued thu philosopher. But you'll get used t, that. After ten or twelve years o it you'll hardly murmur. Yes, trouble comes. tc all of us, but we get case hardened to it. Things that hurt u !. like the mischief at first we get so VI don't notice"
 T know one thing that hurts nk ! the mischief at first and you don't ge l used to it, either"
 [ Whats that?"
 "A mustard plaster" replied tn ] young man.
