job. No sooner was the job safe
than the promises were forgot
ten, and Bill Republican fell back
into his old habits, even doing
a good deal worse than he ever
had done before. He made all of
his previous records look like the
tracks of. baby angels in the
sands of time.
Out went Bill again.
In went Tom again.
And then
Out went Tom ;.gain.
In went Bill again.
And every time he changed
men, my poor old fool uncle ac-
tually believed that he had bet
tered himself. He seemed to for
get all about how rotten they
had both been OH previous oc-
casions, or else he had great
faith in their lying promises to
do better. | never could quite
decide which it WaS-falth or
foolishness. My last guess is
that it was both.
The question that has always
puzzled me is this:
Why did Uncle Sam have to
limit his choice to- those two
measly sons-of-guns, when there
were plenty of good honest, ce-
liable men who would have been
glad of the job? Why didn't he
politely kick both Of the lying
scoundrels into the middle of last
century and hire somebody else?

UNCLE SANS HIRED MEN.

Once upon a time had all
uncle named Sam.
And Uncle Sam needed a hired
man to look after his affairs.
There were two men in the
neighborhood who made a prac-
tice of hiring out for wages. One
of these men was named Bill
Republican and the other was
named Tom Democrat.
Tom Democrat was older than
} Bill Republican, but they both
seemed to be strong, able-bodied
men, and it was sometimes I.
hard matter for Uncle Sam to
ldecide which one he wanted to
hire. My recollection is that he
hired Tom Democrat frst-pos-
sibly before he had ever heard
of Bill Republican. Tom did very
we'll for a while, but later he
got to drinking and staying out
at night, and soon began to neg
lect his duties.
| Of course Uncle Sam didn't
like for his hired man to do that
way, and so when Bill Republican
came along Uncle Sam turned
Tom off and hired Bill. That
made Tom Democrat as mad as
a wet hen, and he went off and
lsulked a while. >
| Now Bill Republican was a fine
looking young feller. He was
tall and straight and we'll built,
and could reel off a purity good
line Of CAB when he applied for
a job. He made all sorts of fair
Ipromises, and he lived up to
them very we'll for the first year
or two, and then he began to go
just like Tom Democrat had
gone. He got so he couldn't be
depended on to do anything
right. 1t was a common thing
for my uncle to go out IN the
field and find Bill asleep in the
fence corner, and maybe half
| la-dozen COWS in the corn. At
| feeding time he WIS always care
=. full to feed the big fat hogs, but
the weak little ones and poor
ones never got anything. Bill
said the little old runts ought not
starve, anyhow, aid get out OF
, the way of the big hogs.
Well, Uncle Sam got purity
tired of Bill before his time was
out, and by that time Tom Dem
ocrat had got over his poutine
spell and come back to see if he
could get the job again. Ton
was all dressed up in a new suit
Of clothes and looked fairly re.
{ spectacle. He told my uncle that
, he had reformed and was living
a different life now. He sale
he wouldn't get drunk any more
and he would give special atten
tion to feeding the little runty
pigs so as to give them a fai,
!. chance with the big hogs, and h.
wouldn't leave the doors un
, locked at night as he used to do
Then he went on and told a whole
mess of bad tales on Bill Repub
llcan. He had been hiding in &

it was just awful how bad Bill

''COMPLETE PUNISHMENT. ~

age not long ago to get one to-
stand a few minutes.
The first question I put to him
was this:
"Do you believe that The wick
ed in hell will get the full and
complete measure of punishment
that is due them for their sins
in this world -
He bit like a trout:
(, eyes sir, I certainly do"
The next question was:
"Can a job be complete with
out being finished?''
"No, / guess not" he replied,
beginning to look uneasy.
''Well, then," says I, "Ain'*
you got sense enough to know
that when a job is finished it

could have crawled into gimlet

was doing. Honest to goodness,
Bill was getting so low down
that he wasn't fit to sleep in al
white mans barn any more. Now
Bill really was doing mighty bad,
and Uncle Sam believed every
word Tom said about it.
So when Bill came in from his
work that night Uncle Sam
cussed him out and told him to
highball and not show his car
cass around that ranch any more
Then he turned around and hired
Tom Democrat again.
Well, honey, I know you'll be
sorry to hear it, but the fact is
that Tom didn't do a doggon bit
better than he did the first time.
Wusser, if any odds. He got
drunk the very first night, and
next morning they couldn't find
him anywhere. When they fl
nally did find him he was stand
ing in front of the mail box wav-
ing both arms and preaching to
it. Uncle Sam heard him say to
the mail box: Repent, I say!
Gol-durn We, repent! If you
don't change your ways you Il
60 to hell certain"
After that he got drunk about
once a week, and it took him two
weeks each time to get sober. He
very often poured the milk in the
slop bucket and ran the dish
water through the cream sep
arator. And cuss? My star:
alive! You have heard of men
who could cuss a tune. Well,
Tom could cuss about four tunes
at once. Then on top of all the
rest, he got to stealing every
thing he could get his hands on.
It wasn't safe to leave the house
and barn out of doors, for Tom
was liable to steal the whole
works.
Finally Tom Democrats time
was out, and Uncle Sam was
mighty glad Of it. And what do
you think? There stood Bill
Republican wearing a smile that
wrapped clean around his head
three times and enough Of It
left to tie under his chin.
''Well, what do you want
now?" asked Uncle Sam sorter
cross-like, for he wasn't in much
of a good humor.
'1've come to get my job
back" says Bill Republican,
drawing himself up and pound
ing his chest with both hands.
Il heard you was tired Of Tom
Democrat, and Of course you will
want to hire me again. | don't

about how sorry [ used to be-
