Hard 10 Please.

Early in the season a man applied
at a farmhouse for board, but the
farmer slowly shook his head. I'D
be glad TO keep you he said. but
city people are too hard to please"
Il am not at all exacting." the
applicant replied. You will find no
difficulty in pleasing me"
That's what the last man who
IN along said. but it wasn't so.
Fact is, nothing pleased him. First.
he complained about sleeping in a
bed with the hired man. and when
we gave him a bed to himself in a
room with four of the children he
was still dissatisfied"
Then he didn't like to use the
towel We all used, and he wanted a
wash basin in his room. Nothing
suited him at all. | don't know
whether you would be so hard TO
please or not"
WELL" the city man said, per
haps I'd better not chance it,,
