The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1916-02-25

Lie PAIN ne administered was simply |
circulating in the extreme. He was
an expert at it. He knew just how to
go about it. The dogs had done moth !
ing to him. They did not even appear
to look his way, but he was on the |
hight and would not be satisfied with |
anything less. On the corner near
the Saratoga he took delight in multi |
lating nice little woolly creature.
The poor victim cried with pain as
the bitten legs quivcrcd with their
suffering. The bully did his jobs
scientifically, turned quickly from one
success to another looked about for
another victim and stepped rapidly
on. 1t was wonder he did not get
what he was looking for. and the only
reason he did not was because men do
not carry guns with them. He does
not often show up in the business dis
trlct and have no guess whose he is.
About fifty of Caldwell's leading
ladies met in the Presbyterian church
house the other Sunday to formulate
some united plans for doing good to
less fortunate women of the city.
These ladies came from the various
clubs and societies and lodges. The
different Ladies Aids were represent
ed there and all hands ready to work.
They made individual pledges to the
Associated Charities, many of them
finding their own associations were
connected up already in some way
with it. They will set aside part of
their efforts in con junction with the
charities work and center their labors
of love in that direction since it is so
well established already, and many of
them will be active in plans suggested
by their own observations. The aim Is
to bring actual help to any woman in
the city and country adjoining who
will let her wants be known rather
than suffer on in secret. These O. and
| O. {. ladies are hereafter not be blam-
ed for any privatons of others, for
they are out to do good. O. and o. c.
means "Out and Out Christians" The
Hired Man would like story or two
every week from these helpers
Phone to or call Mrs. Grace Andrews
or Mrs. b. w. Rice.
The Hired Man has two friends
who are fighting over $l625. 1t is this
way: About year ago one of them
thinks he paid the other this sum of
money. The other one says it was
never paid. They both tell straight
forward stories about it. The first
contends he paid it, the second just as
stoutly contends he did not get the
money. The transaction was face to
face, the first handing the money to
the second. 1t was done at time
and place when the memory of each
should be as clear as yesterday. !
don't want to have to think that either
is lying. They are both honest. l
don't know which think the most of,
neither which | think the least OF,
neither the best of. They are going
to get mad at each other about the
deal. One of them. if not both will
, get mad at me because | am not able
, to take sides. | don't know which one
them to believe. | am indirectly in
terested in the case and have been ask
ed to get into the harness and settle
: it. That is have part in the settle
ment. I am afraid that one of my
friends is lying about it, but just
, which one-theres the rub. l have
t some friends who lie and some who
} don't lie. Just which one of these to
put on which list and which on the
e other is my trouble. In my younger
days l was in a box like that about
/ God and the devil God had said
e some things and the devil stoutly de-
: MED them. I thought the devil had g
! good argument and there would be
, days at the time when it was difficult
t for me to tell which one of them had
= forgotten or was lying. I fount
G friends who said God was doing the
r lying These friends had been goot
d to me and I thought they ought to
g know. Some of them belonged tc
r church. dug up some of the promises
g God had made and my friends sale
t they were out of date. Had been re
| pealed. Had been given in the frs
d place as a sort of subsidy while thu
d church was in its infancy. A littl'
IS like we now allow sugar factory ;
r cent or two on the pound while it il
/ getting ready to do business later on
n Later in life I found out that the devi
h is liar and the father of all liars. I
Il was then no trouble for me. IT
i ever catch one Of these two friends o
Y mine in a lie is will thereafter be
v walkaway for me to decide their case
v unless of course, | catch the Secon,
d one of them also lying then my cas-
f. will be as bad as before.
