What He Was Looking For.

A tramp applied for food at the house of a suburban agriculturist recently, and while he was eating the rations that hud been furnished at his solicitation, he was asked: "Why do you not go to work?’’ "I have looked long for a place that would suit me.” he replied, “but have never found it.” "Is there not plenty of work at fanning?" asked the Interrogator. "Oh, yes,” said the tramp, “plenty of It; but, you see, sir, 1 want to lind a vineyard where a man who get's in at the eleventh hour is the first to come out and (o draw a full day’s wages. In the olden times they dealt fairly by a man. That is the New Testament treatment and that is what I am looking for.” At the close of his meal he started again In pursuit of that coveted agricultural opportunity.
