Show A minister of Scotch descent, rather noted for his close calculations, cal-culations, also oierated a small farm in Vermont. One day he observed his hired man sitting Idly by the plow, as the horses needed a rest. This rather shocked the good man's sense of economy. After all he was paying the man 25 cents an hour. So he said, gently but reproachfully, "John, wouldn't I' be a good plan for you to have a pair of shears and he trimming those hushes while the horse: rested?" "That it would." replied John agreeably. "And might I suggest sug-gest your reverence that you take a teck of potatoes into the pulpit , and peel them during the an-I an-I them Sunday." |
