THE HIRED MAN

Olu lady was tnat klQnappel Wl1e. MS |
grille literally danced Johns head off.
Well, when our cat got hold of that !
ROSTERS head, it reminded me of the !
way that old lady must have seized the |
charger on which that preachers head |
was, that time. Conquering an enemy!
Johns head might have been the
first one to come off because some girl
danced some new dance, but his has
not been the last one to drop. by any
means. Preachers still go after old
sinners just like John the Baptist
did, and still lose their jobs, which is
equivalent to losing their heads. They
don't put them on charger in these
days, but the charger is usually some
bookkeeper in the grocery where the
preacher can't pay cash, since one way
of getting rid of preacher is to with
hold his pay. Foxy old women are
still putting their girls up to doing
the dreamy slumber" dance or the
"scabby-tubular" step or the bunny
hug" or some other new exposure that
these dancing masters are always in
venting for the benefit of dear good
old women with pretty manageable
daughters whose charms are market
able. | notice that our boosted edu-
cational system takes the high schools
into it, too.
Il have a nice old friend sixty-two.
He is about to marry woman thirty.
Would this be alright in the sight of
God, as we'll as in the minds of the
neighbors?" Answer: The Hired
Man don't know that there is anything
wrong with a man sixty marrying a
woman thirty. but you could do good
job by sweetly suggesting to him that
he ring off. Sixty is little too late
when his running mate is only thirty
fifty? He will probably die at about
year oil d wife would have family Of
she is left widowed. The thirty year
old wife would have four or five babies
to keep when she reached fifty, and
your friend would likely die when she
| is forty. Of course the state would
pension the widow and children. but
let's save the county this much extra
expense, and have the jolly old fellow
fall in love with an older woman.
There are plenty of good wives
waiting at the age of fifty.
Can a man live so holy and pure
that he will want to die every day OF
the world. am acquainted with one
such and he says all Of us ought to be
in the same fix. Are you in the same
fix" Answer: A man should live sc
holy that he is not afraid to die, but as
to this wanting every day to die, tina,
is another thing. Usually we want te
live, and it is not until our time is a
hand that the Christian announces hi:
readiness to CO. God gives us living
grace while we live and when the time
Of our death actually approaches, HI
usually gives us dying grace. Thu
Hired Man can't truthfully say that HI
wants to die now, and | have an ide;
your holy friend would call Doc GU
Just about as quick as anybody else i

cords some night. There is nothing il
