OT ali the men who work for a day wage are the sort I spoke of the other day, when considering that grading crew. I met a radically different type yes terday. At first he then I felt sorry for the lunkh and sorry for « world that perm ted that sort of chaps to mat if you can call it maturing He stopped me as I was dri the fat, sedate old mare home the cross roads store, and ¢ made me mad, ving from mand. €d to know where the Forbes camp ‘was—a one-eyed lad, in greasy jumper and overalis, with a dirty Dianket rot! and a tendency to spit and scratch. He, it seemed, waa a donkey en- @ineer, headed for this lumber camp, and he voluntee formation that he was gol ‘Work for $8.25 a day. “The scale is 50, but a lot of the men are going to work, so I'm taking this job, I don’t want the Job, but I'm taking It to keep some body else from getting it” Pre sumably somebody else who did want it, and who might need it. As he stood there in the dust, lgtood there in his tramp clothes, Bis fouled biankets slug over bis arm, his greasy visor, cap Ocked over his vacant eyo socket, in fo s PS @ snarl 4caven on his.young face and his large independent talk about $11 a day, I thought several things, all of which would have surprised this gay lad, lording it a Dit over the wayside rube-in his ancient buggy. eee THOUGHT how Tittle high wages had done for this lad, and I thought how he would still be a slack- ing sloven tho he re ceived eleventy dollars a day, And I thought of the job he was going to, a job that meant life or Geath to other men, according to how it was handled. And I thought of an industry that had bire such men and had to pass on these extra costs to other workers, who bought lumber to build homes, and who paid the bill with over-head and tnterest added; paid it, maybe, by taking a pint of milk for the "baby instead of a quart. And I figured that these sort of fellows, without responsibility, without love for their work, w out sense of duty or care for the future, that these fellows finally heap an awful load on the backs of the real workers, wh® must buy the products of these fellows, who must listen to their yawp, and who must—or think they must—often support them in their rabid de mands. But I finished by being sorry for the chap, who probably had a real home, who was up thry his teens, who t perhaps with some fu who never had known jappiness and right tt chap who, no m ages, will be a b edge of hi ng ten gone, and a chap who ab whine out his declining on the sunny side of an almshouse Wait a minute I shoo that refrig: oe EAR bell That's her out of the . that cow a-Jangling? jurn her e stream near the milk in th tent I ha in which I and butter keep ‘There is one nosey beast, out of a herd of fifty that every evening exercises her feminine roc to stick her big nozzle in sor man's business.
