Mr. Baumer was like Al's father since he had passed away from a common disease in Moon Dance. He was a smart immigrant who knew how to write & read. On the other hand, there was Slade, who was illiterate (couldn't read/write) and bullied Mr. Baumer. Finally after Slade bullied him 3 times, Mr Baumer couldn't take it anymore, so he thought 'revenge' and hired Slade as his freighter (someone who delivers ordered goods to a store) and tricked him. Mr. Baumer knew that Slade always stole a beer from the box of goods people ordered, so this time, he ordered poisonous beer. He also knew that Slade couldn't read, so he would just think "Oh, beer!" Without knowing it was poisonous. So, as Mr. Baumer sneakly planned, Slade drank the poisonous beer and died. Also, Mr. Baumer and Slade had a couple things in common. Like there jobs, they were both adults , and they both are tricky.
Baumer, the owner of a general store, tries to collect a debt from Slade, his former employee and chronic bully cruelly twists Baumer’s nose and tosses the bill into the street. The next day, Baumer tells Al – the young narrator, who works part-time at the store – that the illiterate freighter, resents him, an immigrant who learned to read at sixteen and built a successful business; Baumer, in turn, resents Slade for stealing whiskey from ihm. A month later, Slade breaks Baumer’s hand. Shortly before Christmas, Baumer shocks Al by hiring Slade to haul freight. One bitterly cold day Slade dies in transit, apparently having frozen to death. Al, unloading a barrel, wonders whether there are enough customers for it. Assuring him there are, Baumer says it was a “bargain.” As Al notices the barrel’s label “Wood Alcohol – Deadly Poison,” Mr. Baumer slyly remarks, “Is good to know to read.”
