Show Willing to Work. The people of Manitou were entertained entertain-ed the other day by the spectacle of a man carrying a 6tone around a triangular track, letting it drop and shouldering it again at every turn. The performer was a man who has a reputation for a disinclination disin-clination to labor, and the incident was the outcome of a wail he was making about the hard times and his inability to get work. A ciiizen told him he would not work if he got the chance and offered him 50 cents an hour as long as he would carry the stone. To the surprise of all, he accepted the offer and held out for five hours. A large crowd gathered to watch the performance. Denver Republican. |
