PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS Farmers, as a rule, complain about hired men, They delight in pointing out that so-and-so never takes a bath, and that another man is always try­ ing to find easy jobs for himself, and still another will do only what you 'tell him. Yet, down underneath it all, I honestly believe ithat they would ra­ ther have men inclined a little on the lazy side than on the “too-industriotts” side, • Take, for instance, our hired man.' I hired him in the honest opinion that he would be just the iypo^to put in a winter of choring, and who wouldn’t mind overlooking the odd thing as long as I didn’t mention it, First of all, the handwriting appeared on the wall when he couldn’t understand why two of us should go to the village for the chop. Frankly speaking, I had to drop to for a little chat with Tim Murphy, at the store, and had figured he would take the grist to the mill and I would hop back ott the load when he headed tor home. At ithe dinner table, when I casually meutioned that he would go in for the chop he pro* tested, “Oh, you go on in to the vil­ lage and I’ll clean out that empty box stall." I started >to say something but I saw Mrs, Phil covering her face with her hand and I knew that there was no need to go any further with the matter. That man can think of the oddest jobs. Our potatoes were hit by the wet weather last Fall and I had been intending to pick them over. We were sitting around the house after dinner, enjoying a little rest, when he suggest­ ed, “How be wc pick over those po­ tatoes 'today?" There I was, trapped again. There wasn’t a logical excuse in the world to put forward that Mrs. Phil couldn’t see through, She clinch,- ed It by saying, “That’s an excellent idea, Ernie,” So we picked potatoes . . , a job I rather detest. For two weeks he has been talking about getting the wood up. I manag­ ed to side-track him each time. Casu­ ally I like to talk about getting the wood cut early in the winter and then on itt the early part of March, when the show begins to get warm, make a mad dash to get the wood out It’s not ^reliable system , . . but it does give you a little leisure in the middle of winter. Finally I consented to getting the wood out. It was a nippy, frosty day when we started for the bush, A day to make your face tingle * , , but the exercise up. What do when we got n’t be a party to cutting down trees in the usual way. No, he wanted to clean up the bush of old tops and dead trees and small thickets that were too close and stunting each other's growth. Have you ever spent a week tugging at old limbs . . . and sawing up dead trees? Have you ever tried to thin out thickets of maple or beech? I did . . and let me toll you, what little thrill there is in wood cutting certainly has nothing to do with that kind of work. He sawed wood dike he did every­ thing else. He worked in dead earnest. T found myself with a back that ached « . . and a ringing, splitting feeling in my head. I found myself stalling for .something to talk about that would break that dead monotony of pulling a saw. Finally, I started asking his advice about how he would take care of the bush lot. He explained . . . in fact, he talked all afternoon but he never slackened speed on the saw. I staggered up to the house for supper, and stalled for time before chortog w . but he had the lantern lit and was sit­ ting by -the kitchen door in a madden­ ing way that made me want to take the axe to him. He’s talking about Joining the army now. I’m hoping he’ll be court-mart- ialled for telling the general what to do on a day when the general doesn’t feel like- doing anything! The patient was' recovering from pneumonia. He had asked repeatedly for food, and finally the nurse served him a mere spoonful of rice. A few moments later the patient called her and saidt “Now I want to read a little. Bring me a postage stamp.
