\\ hen Rubin Goon to the Country
When a city man move* out into
t ?.? country, he learna many things,
] ^t, ho learn* that all the sensible
pi pie don't live in town.
\nd he noon i? apprised'' of the
fa 1 that rooster* don't lay eggs,
ur i rwK don't give buttermilk.
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.
As i Mr. City-n tn is a better m*r.
when he knows bout Mr. Country
Man. It's a gn .t pity people of. ah
hisse- don't k i" more about om

A# soon a? 1 regained conaciouanc*s,
I proceeded to sand that little
iat Into the great beyond where no
cat goeth or corn groweth. Natorally,
I grabbed the Hist instrument
of torture at hand, vtzxly: a broom. I
have since otferod ? reward of
$?,000.00 (check) for sufficient evidence
to prove that any man, woman,
> child ever killed u mouse with a
>i >om.
Me und that mouse went around in
[ uit room so fast you couldn't count
or spokes, or discern which one of
m whs in front. All that time, my
. ife waa roosting upon the post of
ur old-fashioned bed we inherited
hum our fore-fathers along with a
-mall mortgaged farm. (We were
able to save the bed.) I was hitting at
that mouse at the rate of hits per
M'cond, out the closest I ever got
!o him at any one hit was about 5
feet.
1 never hated anything so in' my
life as I hated that mouse. He
would squirt up into the window
curtains quicker than lightning can
.strike a mule, and when he gets
window curtains' around him, he's
hid worser than that proverbial needle
in a hay-stack 11 was dressed up in
my night shirt. The thermometer
was about 20 iij the shade, but I was
sweating jjreat beads of prespiration
and was very, very forgetful of my
church letter which was then in the
church. (That was about the roughest
1 ever was in the presence of my
wife.) Hut nevertheless, I was bent
on exterminating that mouse.
And, by the way, my wife's expressions
while perched up in the air j
out of danger were about us follows:
"There he goes, killim. Can't you hit
nothing? Lookout, he's running up
your shirt tail. My, goodness. 11
wish I had that broom. You surely
aint no rat killer. Ketehim in the
urner Biff him side-ways. Don't
icttim climb this post," Ansoforth. j
Well, that mouse disappeared un-i
dor tiie bed spring. I -suppose he j
disappeared. 1 was so exhausted J
alter .5 hours work I didn't care if
i>i the mice in the country were in'
' \ !a-p. Moral: Don't try to kill a!
:iiou.-e in your bed-room. Let him)

Flarth slides hi! railroad cuts and Fills are

bridges and inundate the rails. Transportation

Pitting their strength against the elements,
men shoulder the task of opening the lines,
working day and night to get the trains

mettle.
It is their crowded hour.
The spirit of railroad men under such
