WELT ,rs A Houromi ?--We frequently
notice in the columna of the local papers
that lvlt'. So-and-so is ahus•ler because he
performed a certain amount of work in
short order. According to the newspaper
version it matters little whether the work
be well done or whether the mechanic
gives value for the mousy paid by his
employer or not, let the job be Mingled or
slighted it makes un difference. Reisa
hustler if he only gets through quickly.
Now, we are sorry to say that there are
too many of such men in our country at
the present day. We see ttiem flying up
and down the road in every direction,
riding in their rig, for every tinker must
have a horse and some kind of a convey -
once now•a•days. Of coarse they always
make out to sponge their board off the
farmer who employs them, and after cut-
ting prices against their brother trades-
men in order to make the job pay they
hustle it through which is only a more
polite term for slighting the job and of
course their employer is the sufferer. d
more appropriate handle to attanh to such
men would be deadbeats. What then or
who is a bustler 7 In our opinion, the
man who renders by his services value
for the money promised or paid by his
employer. The man who will fulfill his
agreement even though he should do se
at a Joss. The man who never looks for
extra pay for an extra half hour's work,
The man who supports himself and fam-
ily without defrauding the pablio. Who
pays his way as be goes, and comes out
with a clear sheet at the year's end in
these hard times. He and only he is en-
titled to that common pltrnse "a hustler."
