"But why the hurry?"
"Got to hurry," replied the lad briefly. "Left school yesterday, and haven't struck anything suitable yet. The only place where I can stay long is where they pay me for it."
"How much do you want?"
"Fifteen dollars a week for a start."
"And when can you come?"
"Don't need to come; I'm here. I could have been at work five minutes ago if you'd only said so."
BOSS (to new boy)—"You're the slowest youngster we've ever had. Aren't you quick at anything?"
BOY—"Yes, sir; nobody can get tired as quickly as I can."
