THE WONT-WORKS NOT A FARM PROPOSITION (Written Specially For The Bulletin.) 1 gpose you've all read about the dolngs of the “I-Won't Works” in New York city, lately. { They surely are a great crowd. But, to my countrified mind, they aren’t nearly so ridiculeus as the soft- hearted and softer headed people who are mollycoddling them. I see some of the ministers have thrown open their charches and there- in fed the mob In charity, afterward permitting them to hoid formal meet- ings in the same churches and de- nounce the church in so many words for its lack of charity!

Everybody knows that the farms need. more laborers, to enable them to do thelr best towards feeding the world and keeping down the cost of living. But the labor which is needed 1s that which is zealous to finlsh its job in proper season, rather than to do as little as possible in the shortest possi- ble hours.

At that early period electric lights were not known and gas had not been installed in local stores, nor was even kerosene known as artificial light, the people depending for light after dark on the tallow dip, whale oil, or the dangerous burning fluid usuvally in a lamp with round wick, but no chimney. * While ofl in tin lamps was also used as artificial light. All of which in marked contrast to the brilliantly lighted stores and the white ways of today.

Rial Chaney was for many years the official weigh- er and gauger of the town, gauged nearly all the whale oil that was brought to New life time, and the whaiing firms were atisfled to sell and the customers satisfied to buy acording to the guag- ing of Mr. Chaney | Writing of Mr. Chaney, reminds of a lame shoemaker, with shop on -he opposite corner to the Chaney store who was related to the Coits of Nor- copper cents in hand to pay for same. o Mr. Mason cut a slit in his coun- ter just big endugh to admit of a cent dropping into the cash drawer.

He drove hack in the days when it was uite a business, when livery stables ere almost as thick as saloons and en horse-drawn vehicles were the only means of city transportation.
