Jack of All Trades
By Con Tributor
I was riz on a farm. A farm is
a mighty good place tn be riz, too,
according to my idee. At any
rate, if the external workin’s of a
farm and the internal workin’s of a
man is the same as they was in my
younger days.
But to get at what I started to
say is to go back to the time when
I quit the farm and tried the groc-
ery business. Well, sir, it warn’t
long till I found it would take sev-
eral years to learn how to run the
thing. I didn’t know how to keep
books, nor how to buy and sell
with profit, so 1 quit the store
with less money than I went into
it with.
Then I tried to turn my hand at
the plumber’s art. It wasn’t long
till I found out that before I could
draw fifty cents a hour I would
have to learn to bend lead pipe
and fit gas pipe. I quit the trade
and didn’t make any money at the
quit.
After the try at the last trade I
made an attempt at country school
teaching. But I found out that
some of them country upstarts
could teach me everything. A
teacher’s got to know more than
them he teaches. So I quit that
job and took up a book agency.
Book agsncies may be all right
for them that has got the gift of
gab and don’t care what folks
thinks of agents, and can keep
even with the company, but I soon
learned that I wasn’t cut out for a
book agent. 1 lost money, got
puny and had blisters on my feet.
I quit that job.
In a few days I set up a “shine”
shop. I expected to get rich at
shining Bhoes, but it was a kid’s
job and there was nothing in it.
Back to the farm I went, dead
broke and sorry, Jack of all trades
and master of none. In every-
thing I tried I just began to learn
when I quit, and each time I quit I
got worse. “What a fool I was,”
says I to myself.

Mrs. John Wilson Dead
A very sad death occurred last
Saturday when Rosie Wilson, wife
of John Wilson and daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Thomas of this
city, died at her home near Man-
chester. The death was rendered
even more sad by reason of the
fact that the deceased left behind
four little girls, one of them a baby
less than three months old.
The immediate cause of death
was dropsy, and Mrs. Wilson had
been in poor health for some time.
During the past few weeks, how-
ever, she had shown some improve-
ment, and had made a trip to
Gibbon just a few days before her
death.

noon, conducted by Rev. H. E.
Smith of the United Brethern

rest in Odd Fellows cemetery. A

remains.
