Show Kather Warm oun. Chicago Horald. ' A young newspaper man who last spring found himself in Whitman, county, Washington, 500 miles from his base of supplies and "broke," hired out to a farmer. He was set to plowing; with a pair of horses. Both men and beasts being new to the business, the furrows looked as if they were there-suit there-suit of an earthquake rather than design, de-sign, so crooked and zigzag were they. At the close of the day the farmer rather testily criticized the job. The newspaper man felt that his doom was sealed, but mustered courage to reply 1 "I know the rows are rather crooked, but the sun was exceedingly hot today, and it warped them." The answef turned away the farmer's wrath, and. Instead of being discharged, the newcomer new-comer was given a much easier and pleasanter job and is now the farmer's son-in-law. |
