Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 February 1915 — Wasn’t Foreman [ARTICLE]

Wasn’t Foreman

The new foreman was a hustler. Nothing escaped his eagle eye, and whenever he say a workman suffering from a tired feeling he quickly woke him up. So when he discovered a bricklayer snatching a quiet pipe behind a wheelbarrow his wrath rose mightily. “What do you think you’re paid for? Get on with your job, if you don’t want to get fired pretty sharp." “All right, boss,” rejoined the work man. “Keep your ’air on. Rome wasn't built in a day, you know.” “That may be,” rejoined the hustler, "but 1 wasn’t foreman of that job.”
