Odds and Ends

I suppose it's an old baby,
but l do like Harry JAMS
story of the elderly miner
who had been doing the
same work for over 40 years.
Seems that, as youth, he
started out with a wagon, a
few tools, and a lot Of spirit.
And from that day on, he
kept digging.
His routine was always the
same. With a horse to pull the
wagon, he would start out for
the wilds. When he'd come
upon spot that looked as
though it might produce some
thing, he'd begin to dig. AS
soon as the hole was deep
enough, he'd roll the wagon
over it to keep the sun from
beating down upon him. And
then he'd dig and dig and dig.
At night, he'd climb out of
the hole and enter the wagon.
There he would sleep until
dawn. And then he'd arise to
start the same thing all over
again.
Except for minor Interrupt
tionS-such as searching for
new places to dig and chang
ing his horse every now and
then-this procedure went on
all through the years. In the
wagon at night; under it dur
ing the day. And nothing to
relieve the monotony.
Came the day when the
miner was suddenly taken i'll
with stomach pains. He crawled
from beneath the wagon and
rolled on the ground. AS luck
would have it, lone rider
CHANGED to pass the spot a
short time later and saw the
miners difficulty. The good
samaritan Immediately raced
off for a doctor.
The following day, he was
back with the medico. The old
miner was still in pain. The
doctor leaped from his horse
and examined the old man.
He asked him q number Of
questions, and then he nodded
in a very wise manner.
There's. only one cure for
you," he stated fatty. you'll
have to get out into the open
air."
The miner sat upright. After
40 years, this doctor was advis-
ing open air! The old man
pointed to the wagon that had
served him so faithfully.
