THE HIRED MAN

naughty girl they must now put UP
with. My friends sster-inlaw got
her perfectly white baby back and the
negro woman now knows her own
babe by its nice little cute flat nozzle
A man one time told me that he be-
lleved | had got snapped at a quilting
one time when lot of babies were laid
away on bed, but then what's the
ditference, my sins are forgiven and I
hope that my real self in that other
family has also done the right thing
toward God, then over in heaven a
Jew years from now we can straighten
out the tangle.
IF you heard little laddie swearing
vociterously and you knew that his
parents were not aware of it, would
you go tell them?" Now what I
would do might not be safe pattern
for you to follow What YOU really
want to know is. would it be right to
go tell the lads folks? If you will try
1t once you will find it a pretty big
JOB OF course if it might be ex-
pected that the boy swore, then it
would not be so difficult, but if you
have repeatedly heard his mamma talk
about what a splendid little fellow he
is, you will be up against quite head
end collision when you get right up
to the very moment of squealing on
the little fellow. You may feel
reasonably certain of yourself when
you start over to tell his mamma, but
close proximity with her house, may
change your heart about it. 7 think,
however, should tell her, and then
thereafter be as thick skinned as
rhinoscerous, for little bird is going
to tell you that she will never think
! as much of you as before.
"You are SO glib with your descrip-
tons, won't you just please tell us
what and where heaven isl" AS much
as | know and as much as have been
about and as many good people as
have given me information you must
yet believe that there are some few
things that | don't know. You make
me use so many capital eyes that Mr..
Davis may need to get in an extra
case just to set tip the Hired Mans
! columns. Heaven is yonder on
planet made for the purpose. It's a
wonderfully big planet. One city on
it is fifteen hundred miles square, and
| doubtless there are countless thousand
other cities of less MAGNITUDE. There
is big rural region. | don't know,
but | imagine, that it is at the south
end of the Milky way 65396732l2OOOO0
miles from the earth. 1t is land
where we may disagree without pout-
ing about it, and where the most of us
will be surprised like the very mis-
chief to see the rest of us there.
1--WE have "a good little Sunday
school here, but it is weakening down
during the hot summer months, and
another denomination is watching it
like hawk, wanting to put in its own
work just as soon as this dies. Ought
they not to be ashamed" Ought not
who to be ashamed, the ones who are
weakening? If you are sure OF your
fears, you are about to get into the
hands of some fish hawks | used to
notice. They would sit on limb OF
a tree and wait until another kind of
a hawk caught a fish and was soaring
I'D with it. The lazy hawk would wait
until the second hawk got high with
its feast and would then pounce upon
it and make it drop the fish, where
upon the robber hawk would catch 1t
and fly away to eat it. One denoml-
nation h-hawking little Sunday
school of another denomination re-
minds me of this hawk.
