POINT OF VIEW I

An artist was painting in the)
country. A farmer came and
watched him. “Ah,” said the art-1
ist, “perhaps you too are a lover
of the beauties of nature. Have
you seen the golden fingers of!
dawn spreading across the eastern
sky, the red-stained sulphurous is- \
lets floating in the lake of fire in
the west, the rugged clouds at
midnight blotting out the shudder-1
ing moon?”
“No,” said the farmer matter
of-factly, “not lately, I’ve been on
•the wagon for over a year.”
