I was sitting around witin some of
the boys the other night enjoyijtg the
warmth of Mine Host \McKay s` stove,
and thought this story worth Passing
along to your many readers as told
by a highly esteemed patriarch of the
township of Stanley. I may not be
able to tell it just right, but it was
something like this:
"I was over to John's (we'll. call
him John) t'other day," said he,
"John was sitting with me in the d'oo'r
yard. Party soon a young ' chap
carie in, with a scythe, and asked if
he might use the grindstone, He was
a new hired man from somewhere
near. He didn't know- John, an" John
didn't know him: So John o' course
had t' crack one 0' .his jokes,
"'May I use Ser griudsiun?' said
the young feller.
"'Dnnno,' said John, '`I'm only the
hired tnan here. Go an' ask the -lady
of the house,
"The oi' lady had overheard him, an'
so she says t' the young feller, 'Yes—
ye can use the grindstone. The hired
naafi out there'll turn it ler ye.'
"John see he was trapped, an' so he
trent out under the plum tree, where
he stone was, and begun t' turn. The
cythe was dell an' the young feller
bore on harder'n wiz .really decent flex
a long time. John begun t' git very
ober lookin'.
" `Ain't ye 'bout done,' said be.
"Party nigh; said the young fel-
e-,
titea-me.in' down a little harder all
he
"John made -the stone go faster.
urty soon he asked again, 'Aim ye•
one yit?'
'Putty night says the other feel-
ts; o' the edge
I'm done,' said John; and he let
0 0' the handle. 'I dunna about the
cv'aths,e, but I'm a, good deal shtrper'n
�,
'You're the hired man here, aitut
e ' said the young •fewow.
"\To; I aint,' said John. "D ru:th
