Does the Hired Man believe in sec
ond marriages? That depends. If l
we've not myself | would like to be
my wife's second husband Some of
the incest lives in wedlock | have ever
seen have been where one or both
had been married bfore. The Nor
mons take wives in plurality at one
time, and the Gentiles take them in
plurality. one at time If mans
wife die he certainly has moral right
to marry again, only he should wait
long enough not to look like his for
gotter was working over time, on
about three shifts. If man is div
orced, or gets divorce, from his
wife, he can legally marray again no
matter what the lawyers put up as an
excuse for the separation, but a good
many of all such thereby resign them
selves to the realm of Gods displeas-
ure, for God is not we'll pleased with
this woodpecker society business,
where affinity hunters put up all kinds
of jobs in their married inebriety.
When | was laddie | used to be set
to keeping the woodpeckers away from
our cherry trees. One hour red
headed fellow would come gilping
along with nice female, and | would
knock her head off, and in ten min
utes he would come chuckling back
with new wife, and then | would do
my best to get him. OF course if
either wife or husband is guilty of
infidelity to the other, the innocent
may marry again. But this ''incompat-
Utility of nature" stunt that is fire.
quently run off, is about as frequently
only a forerunner OF an affinity"
chase. Most any Of us can get a scrap
with our wives any time we are dead
bent on such think, whether our
wife happens to be the Woodworking
farmer-wife. or the elite lady of the
professional man. If | had my way
about it | would make it hard to get
married and harder still to get freed
back into distress and lonesomeness.
Now, the danger of writing squib
like this is, that some minschief max
er will cut it out and send it TO some
matched second marriage and
make them think had them in mind,
and then there are just two more peo-
pie who don't think the Hired Mans
writings are at all interesting. That's
the way am losing good many, at
least there is one more of the two
who cuts its admiration out.

That which appears to be an anthem
tic case of hypnotic healing-at least
relief from severe pain, took place in
Caldwell this week, when Dan Brown
put Oscar Mason under mental spell
and took away from him protracted
and severe pain from the region of the
vermiform appendange. For several
months Mr.. Mason has had serious
trouble with his abdomen in that re-
gion more accute and the day he was
treated by Mr.. Brown, he had be-
come frightened, on his farm west of
| town and had come in to be nearer
physicians to await developments. He
had selected the surgeon who was to
open the window and let out the lit
tie witch that had been causing the
difficulty. While brooding over his
Washed robes, the forgiven multitudes
around the throne of the Lamb and
the Bride He didn't tell us that there
is no hell, but left sort of con-
viction that there is ample room for
a good sized region of that kind. His
sermon left good taste with his au-
ditors. Now for all those in this re-
gion who are laboring under the hal
lucination that scholars no longer
believe all the story of the Christ"
let me state that here is a man among
the very best educated in the state,
and yet has never permitted doubt to
