A gang of Italians were employed on a railway contract removing earth with wheelbarrows. While proceeding with his work one of the men noticed that the wheel of his barrow Was squealing terribly, and to put a stop to the noise he turned the barrow over, and was in the act of greasing it when the boss noticed him and shouted out: “Halloa, Pietro! Halloa, sir! What the dickens are you doing?” “I’m greasing my barrow, sir.” “Who told you to do that?” “No one, sir. I took It upon myself." “Well, don’t let me catch you at It again. Every man here must stick to his own job. What do you know abbut machinery ?” —Tit-Bits.
