Why He Didn’t Like the Country
Little Johnny had not been very well, ami the doctor advised his parents to send him into the country for change of air. But Johnny protested. He would much rather stay in town, he said. He didn't want to go into the country. For some time he refused to give any reason, simply repeating that he did not want to »o into the country: but at last he explained: "Well, I've heard they've got thrashing-machines in the country, and it’s bad enough here where you do it by hand.”
