Much elated, he informs his fellow-clerks of the good news. Upon reaching his home, his wife, having vacation ideas of her own, immediately sets him to work. Of course the back-yard fence needs whitewashing. This he does, and is almost happy in the task. Just done with this bit of muscular improvement, when she is aware of the fact that there is quite an amount of aprons and other material to be washed. The clerk's vacation progresses accordingly, whereas he had dreams of fishing tackle, rod and running brooks. Scarcely through with this work when he, remonstrating, is placed at work with the lawn-mower, for assuredly the grass has grown a bit too high. Finally, after having taken up the carpets, cleansed and beaten them, the astonishing news is brought to him by his wife that the stove-pipe is smoking. Now, he has never known that pipe to smoke before, and he longed for a pipe of his own, but tobacco was a luxury that his vacation did not permit of, so to the kitchen he goes, and in his endeavors, well meant but ill spent, he topples with stove-pipe and all to the floor. Absolutely exhausted, Mr. Clerk's wife assists him to bed. A physician is called, who administers drops none too palatable, and after a day's rest the clerk, with hands and muscles sore, gladly returns to his place of employment, willing to remain there for the future, with pen and pencil and no vacation.
