And after ? month or two, he finds out that most of tho poor folks live 'in the city and not out in the eocu..i <1 "sticks," ua he always supposed. In rambling around, he discovers th< >' are more pious people in the country than there are in most cities, and hat all the Mappers fere not cityhi nd. He .ultimately discovers that the average farmer works haiMer thfctt, the average city man, and does not sit around on stumps all day long with a straw in his mouth. 'v He likewise lets the thought soak | into his bone head that the city-ites j don't wear 'em any shorter or any, thinner than the country-ites, and that mince meat is not cut from &'< pasture animal along with ham and! chittci lings. Within u fort-night..'he begins tf> believe that possib'y some folks who' live ..ut in the country know about crooks?and gold brick artists do ndt have as easy sailing as he once imagined. Furthermore, he is finally convinced that the man on the adjoining farm is really a neighbor, and that he will >-ii up with a fellow when he's sick and feed him when he's hungry and pi ay with him when lie's grief-stricki n, and not ignore him in the time of v tiouble as the city man does. And after the city man fully., .absorbs the why-<f<JVe.- and the wherefores of the count y man, he con-, eludes that all -the rich folks would starve to death v.. re it not for the; pour fulkrt who-a>i- willing to work and produce som< mug.
