talk There's nothin' meachin' about
him, and he's got somethin' to say-a
real message and that's what men are
ready to hear from a real man. He's
dom good, that man is! He's maxim
man out O Jim Haley"
WHO is Jim Haley?"
She wiped the suds from her muscular
red arms and dried them on her apron
as she said:
i'm Haley? Lord bless you, ma am,
he's my convert! Anyhow, that's what
the revivalist calls him, and it's real
comfort to me to feel that l have had
part in helpin' to bring Jim into the
marvellous light as they call it. And
have faith to believe that i'm will stick.
He will, if | and this here revivalist can
help him to. And if he docs, it will be
a modern maracle and one as great as
them old miracles about the loaves and
the fishes and the turning of water into
wine. Oh, you don't have to bark
away back to the time when the Lord
walked the earth to discover maracles!
There's lots of EN- happenin all the time
right here on our earth, and if Jim Haley
holds out that will be one. It'll be
literally takin' a man up out o the
gutter and maxim a man out O him,
for I've seen Jim Haley actually in the
gutter and the street Arabs peltin' him
with mud balls, and him too beastly full
to help hisself, and I've helped him to
his feet and to his tenement myself to
keep him from bein' run in. Disgustin'
amt it?"

"Aint it though? Turrible! Well, at
the first O the revival 1neetin's | went

night to hold up their hands, and | held

to sweep up my own dooryard first, and

right down on my prayer bones and

Then l thought O Jim Haley, pore

now And under such circumstances
man is in duty bound to bark back to
what he promised on his weddin' day,
and not go and git full. Jim is plumber
by trade, and such good one he kin make
his thirty dollars a week ev'ry week in
the year that he'll keep sober; but he's
got to workin' two days and spreein' the
other four, and that means that he'll
soon be out O work altogether, for it
will come to be known that he amt to
be depended upon.
He's real nice, 1ovable chap when
he amt in ticker, and when he is-well,

terrors If Jim Haley amt one when

Friday, April 28th has been named
for Arbor Day. It would be a good
thing if people in general would de-
vote this day to the planting of trees
and shrubbery about their homes.
Nothing adds more to- the attractive
ness Of a place than fine trees. In
this section, where evergreen trees are
SO easily procured few can be OBJ
tanned and planted in one day, even if
no more time can be spared. School
grounds in particular need something
of the kind, but in order to make the
work successful the school boards
should take an interest in the work
and see that it is properly performed.
If each district would spend one days
wages for good man on each Arbor
Day, our school houses would soon be
surrounded by beautiful groves.

one is moved to say amen to the fol-
lowing from the Mankato Free Press:
s"The difference between good and
bad roads is often equivalent to the
difference between profit and loss.
Good roads have. money ! value to
farmers as we'll as a political and
social value, and, leaving out con-
venience, comfort, social and refined
influences which good roads always
enhance, and looking at them only
from the almighty dollar side, they
are found to pay handsome dividends
each year."
