Man knows but little about the doc.
tors outside of Caldwell, for he ha:
had no chance to test them out. He
has tested this combination and will
give his opinion to anyone who comes
to him in private. Papers will not

hrms who are able to pay therefor
The Hired Man cannot make big
splurge here about these doctors. II
would seem. however. that for real
brain power and skill at getting al
what is wrong with a sick man il
would be difficult to beat the trio Not
All the good physicians in town are in
this association by jugfull but it
would be pretty hard for any disease
to slip through all three of them in
consultation. When a piece of the
anatomy has to come off or out, Cole
faces the job with skill and nerve, af-
ter having exhausted every other
resource; when germs have called a
convention in the throat or lungs or
nose OF some victim and the great
white plague has been asked to come
and take habitation, Haley starts a
relentless warfare upon them and
puts them to rout; when fever germs
take possession of the body and set
up. "a fire that burns with raging heat,
Miller is right at home in his relief
measures. The Hired Man doesn't
know IN what way the work will be
divided up between the three, for all
are equipped for a general prac-
tice and have shown them selves to be
successful here in this climate. | do
not know which of the three does the
most work just for. humanity's sake.
but have accidentally found much of
this sort in the practice of all three.
The Hired Man knows that in wise
counsel there is safety. OF course,
you, reader, are going to die even if
all the doctors in Idaho work on you
and all the nurses work about you
and great quantities of medicines
work IN you and your many friends
work at you. just remember that it
IS appointed to man once to die, and
then send for the best doctors you
can find.
The Hired Man has some idea of
the thing we call imagination, but for
genuine demonstration of the un-
adulterated article he will not look
further than rugged little Caldwell
boy. OF about FIVE years, who was
walking down side street carving
an air gun, and stepping boldly along
hypnotislng himself into the notion
that he was a trapper hunting in the
mountains. When the Hired Man ac-
costed him and asked who he might
pc, ne said he was bear hunter and
that he had had good luck. His rud-
dy happy face bore no signs of mis-
take, and that he was only lust talk
ing, was the farthest thing from his
countenance. He had actually killed
more than fifteen huge bears and had
enough deer hides to rug a palace and
other big game galore, too numerous
to mention. He had never missed
shot and had never been in any i'm
menent danger through it all, for his
old standby, the air gun, had been his
trusted friend. He didn't want any
body to suppose he was just kidding
about It either. for he could take the
Hired Man to the great pile of flesh
ne had stored away down in the low
81. part OF town. After reassuring the
Hired Man that he was telling the pre-
else truth and seeing that his time
was limited, the little fellow stalked
boldly OH with the air of the con-
queror,, and left the Hired Man van

a
One Of the very Oldest LOGON olive
drivers in the west is our fellow |
townsman. Frank Olmstead. He
started to pull the throttle away back |
yonder when It was a big engine that |
could pull 500 tons ten miles an |
noer over division and the biggest
5sTne1gnt cars would stand up under
59.ooo pounds. The other, day the
rreo man was talking with Frank
near the Short Line station. when a
gigantic compound passenger engine
came along, dream of which thirty
years since. would have sidetracked
any railroad man to oblivion accused
OF insanity, and the old railroader
smiled his pleasure at being in tbe
presence of the mammoth steel horse
and shook his head with conscious
pride when he was reminded of the
growth OF things since his first life ON
wheels. The Hired Man has seen Mr.
Oimstead pull his local freight train
into station many time and turn
the engine over to the fireman and
DO the work of brakeman loading
and unloading freight. In fact he al
ways made hand at this. Nobody
ever had to wait for him to oil IN
tor ne was already to get out of town
when the signal was given. He was
peacemaker always. He was work
er. He grew up with the growth of
size and speed in railroading. He
watched the danger signals both day
and night. His engine was his friend
he has seen the box car and the gon-
dola grow from forty thousand
pounds capacity to a hundred thous-
and mark. He has seen fifty-two pound ,
IRON give way to ninety pound steel
He has seen the little Shack depot
vamoose when the fine brick station
arrived. He has seen superintendents |
come and superintendent 90, He
pllodded steadily on, but the Hired ,
Man thought the other day when he '
saw the wabble of the once energetic a
man and felt the restless wave OF the
once steady nerve center, that it is not \
ar down the track to the place where d
he switch is set for the union de- t
got OF the railroad system whose en- v
zines burn no coal and whose condo +
as are loaded with NO scr,, 81 l. | n
