the dying ordeal is not half the physi-
cal suffering that sympathizing friends
suppose. Disease does not bring us
nearly the suffering that we suppose;
II is the tear.of death that accompanies
disease that terrorlZes us. Folks who
have been operated on for appendicitis
and other things often suffer just as
much afterwards, as before. but now
since we know we are not going to
die, we don't mind it SO much" is the
universal answer. God says that after
all, lie has no way to get children into
heaven except to take them from
earth while they are children. All
punishment accompanying the giving
up of a sweet child, ought to be over
whelmned in the fact that that child is
in Heaven. There is not an if nor an
and about it. There is no dispute
about it, the child is in Heaven.
rs there any law against marrying
kin folks, say, as close as cousins?"
There is a law on the books of the
universe prohibiting intermarrying. If
you should marry your cousin and not
know she IS your cousin, your doctor
bill among your children, your trou-
bic with the school teacher reporting
your children to the authorities and
your own remorse, would later tell
you you had been great big tool
The kings and princes of some Euro
peOn countries have married kinfolks
so much that they are running the race
clear out the gang plank of brain
power and, while claiming to be civil
lized very highly, are simply the runt
end of a degenerate animalism. Yes,
you are forbidden by law to marry
blood relation. Let somebody else
have that good looking cousin and you
try to get his sister or cousin. That's
the sensible thing to do. You might
get a little trouble even in marrying
some other fellows cousin, much more
your own.
"A man told the Hired Man today
that if everybody worked his share
six hours work a day would be twice
enough He said three hours would
be all that would be needed. For nine
teen years OF my life | worked a full
twelve hours and for ten years l
worked fourteen hours a day. Tha,
was too much, of course, but it had to
be done and | thought | had to do it
If man will work eight hours for q
day, then put in eight hours for recre-
alton and the service of distressed
worthy brothers and then sleep eight
hours, he will be just exactly balanced
and will be happy. Ten hours work is
a little too much Ten hours sleep is
d little too much. Six hours of the
usual work is a little under what the
human frame is geared up for Idle
men and women is where we find the
looseness of character every time
Busy men and women are the bes
men and women. 1t is usually the
beer garden that wants less than sever
hours work for an honest day.
The Hired Man was walking dowr

little fellow about ten years of age
