Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 37, Number 23, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 March 1905 — Tired of Being Fired. [ARTICLE]

Tired of Being Fired.

Peter was a good workman, but be would go on sprees. His employer was lenient, but when Peter turned up after having been absent for a couple of days without leave he discharged him. But Peter did not take his discharge seriously and -went back to work as usual. Again he went on a spree, and again he was discharged and taken back. These little escapades had been repeated four or five times within a couple of years, when Peter walked into the shop one morning looking much the worse for his celebration. ‘‘See here,” said the employer, “you are discharged.” “Look here,” said Peter, “I am tired of this. If I am fired again I’ll quit the job.” And he went on about his -work and has not been “fired” since.-‘-I‘hiladelphia Record.
