Three Sides Of Life From A Sinful Moral And Christian Standpoint Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Three Sides of Life, From a Sinful, Moral and Christian Standpoint But I got tired of living on a farm, and told my mother I was not cut out for a farmer, and that I was going to town to look for something to do. So to town I went; and it was but a short time until they all followed me. I went to work for a groceryman, driving delivery wagon, at twelve dollars per month. I worked for him about three months, then got a position as messenger boy for the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway, at fifteen dollars per month, and in a short time was promoted to car checker, with a salary of forty-five dollars. I remained at this position for some time, and quit only because my mother wished me to learn some trade. I went to work then in a barber shop, receiving four dollars per month for six months, then eight dollars per month for three months, and finally, six dollars per week for three months; having to sign a contract for one year before I could go to work at all. Ifollowed this business for most six years, but finally drifted back-to railroading, as I liked that better than anything I ever did, and am yet at it.
