Show Signs of the Times.- "No." said the vagrant with a sigh, "times are getting better, they're not what they used to be. A man's offered more work than wittals?." "Haven't you signs amongst you so that you know where to go, and how you will be treated and all that sort of thing?" "Well, we each have signs of our own. If I see a big, powerful bull-dog hanging around the front door, I take that as a sign meaning "moved on." If there are a few stout men in the next field to the house, that means "too much gristle and too little meant." If a large pile of cordwood stands by a house with a bucksaw reclining against it, that's a sign for saws-edge." Oh, yes, we have lots of signs-good reliable signs, too." |
